Melina's Baby Shower via the Wonderful World Wide Web

By
I have a dear friend, Melina, who lives far far away in a distant land called the East Coast. She and her husband are expecting their first little one next month, the due date being Valentine's Day. With Melina on the other side of the country, I was saddened at that thought that we wouldn't be able to throw her a proper baby shower. But then the greatest idea I have ever had came to mind, inspiration really. A virtual baby shower if you will, got to love technology.

Talena helped me with this fine event. We put together a box full of treats and decorations and mailed it out to Melina. We then invited a few of our close friends. We were all sure to mail gifts out to Melina beforehand as well. Then on the appointed evening, we all came together and used video chat to see Melina open up her gifts, chat, and even play a baby shower game. Talena did a great job with the food, which Melina got to enjoy as well (since we sent some to her in the post, as already mentioned above.) It was such a fun evening and worked out really well.

Melina all ready for her baby shower. Talena is holding the cute baby carriage cupcakes she made for the evening. Our cake decorating class is paying off.

The refreshments, delicious.

The guests: Shana, Annie, Me, Talena and Melina of course. I love how Melina put up the streamers up for decoration on her side as well.

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

Things that brought me joy this week

By
This past week was Melina's birthday!  Since she lives far away, Talena and I put together a hula party in a box and mailed it to her.  We found all of these treasures at the dollar section at the front of Target.  My favorite moment was when we heard a lady gripe about how the discount section was full of a bunch of useless stuff that no one would buy.  At that very moment we turned the corner, with our hand basket full of awesome stuff we had found.  We just smiled. The party supplies The party agenda I was having a bit of a low evening and Danny suggested we go get my latest craving Sonic blasts.   (Ice cream + candy + whipped cream.)  I know you aren't supposed to feed sorrows with food, but this particular evening I made an exception.  Whoever made that Sonic blast was heaven sent.  It had more Reese's peanut butter cups than actual ice cream.  It's like they sensed my heavy heart and tried to heal it with choc...
