Weekend Happenings

By
This past weekend was a fun one.  I had goals that included cleaning and weeding, but those took a backseat to ummm, fun things.  These things happen.

We had another picnic in the park, this time with KFC.  The husband had the great idea to make our picnic classy and brought some sparkling apple cider.  The classiest glasses we had were ice cream sundae glasses, but it worked for me.  My favorite of the evening was Danny opening the apple cider using a broken pair of finger nail clippers I found in my purse.  It was sanitary, don't worry.

Danny and I went and saw the new movie "The Avengers".  I see a lot more action movies now that I'm married.  The movie was entertaining.  It's not one that is really intellectually stimulating, but the graphics are cool and overall it's fun.  Iron man is my favorite of those make-believe comic heroes.


Saturday evening we went to a Cinco de Mayo party, hooray for Mexico!  There was so much delicious guacamole, my taste buds were happy.  It was also wonderful to see some great friends and enjoy good conversation.
So much good food!

Apparently food is an important aspect of weekends.  I think I need a more active life.  But until then, I ventured in the unknown world of cooking curry.  This was a very mild recipe, but it turned out really good.  Next time I think I'm going to try a little less lime and a little more curry.

    It looks like fun, of course, but I must admit that I am glad that Dad and I watch more bonnet movies than action ones.

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

By
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

By
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...
