Funnies #2

At my place of employment we have various interns/volunteers who come in hopes to learn skills to help them in the real world. There is one who, we shall call Frank,who is quite the character and definitely keeps things interesting.

One of the responsibilities Frank fulfills is to drop off items to different floors in our building (a very important real world skill). He came back very frustrated earlier this week. Apparently on one of the other floors there is a Christmas treat table, but the rule is you can only have a festive sweet if you donate some to share with everyone else. The receptionist wouldn’t allow our intern to have any goodies since he hadn’t brought any. I overheard him talking to our manager, insisting he go reprimand this receptionist (who isn’t even in our division) because she wasn’t following the spirit of Christmas and sharing. My manager just laughed it off.

The next day this receptionist, wanting to tease Frank, said if he was so hungry he could have a piece of bread and offered him a slice. (Don’t ask me why she had a loaf of bread at her desk.) Frank came back and I overheard him again complaining to our manager that something needed to be done so that he could be included in the holiday sugar rush. (Funny that he looked pass the very obvious idea of bringing a treat to share.) My boss good naturally responded, “I can’t get mad at her for offering you a piece of bread, she was actually trying to give you something.” Frank, in all seriousness replied, “But you don’t understand, I don’t like wheat bread.”

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue th...

The End of the Road

There is a time when things fulfill their purpose and that is how I've been feeling with this blog of mine. When I started it, I needed my own little spot to share my thoughts and random stuff I found online. However, having two blogs has become excessive. It has been a good run (me and this little blog) and thanks for joining me. For now on, I will just be posting on my family blog . It's a private blog, but send me a message or a request if you would like to view it. Thanks to those who have taken the time to read my silly thoughts or look at pictures of my cute kiddo or some craft I made. It means a lot to me. Signing off, Jannifer

The Christmas Box

Remember how forever ago I said I would post a tutorial on how to fold these cute boxes.  Sigh, life is busy.  But I am here to fulfill my promise, even if it is a bit belated.  We had a Super Saturday at church with classes we could take.  My awesome friend, Becky, taught us how to create these, so I give her all the credit. What you need, paper, scissors, ruler pencil and some type of adhesive. 1.On the blank side of your paper draw an X from each corner, using a ruler. 2. Fold the bottom corner to the  center. 3. Fold the bottom corner one more  time up to the center. 4. Now you are  going to do the exact  two folds from steps 2 and 3 to the  opposing top corner, so your  paper will look like this. 5.  Unfold your paper and make the same folds to left and right corners that haven't been folded yet.  So once again, fold the point to the middle. 6.  Do a second fold to th...
