2.for.Tuesday

Already? Here I thought I was doing so well coming up with a plan to keep me posting regularly and then the week ran away with me. Seriously... is it really Tuesday again? I apologize.

one: For your enjoyment today I bring you flower pinwheels from the amazing and talented Heather Bailey (the photo is hers). Seriously, browse her blog a little and you'll find things that will make you ooh and aah. I promise. Way too many of her creations are in my make + do folder (sadly they're just sitting there... in my make and do folder. Maybe a good challenge for me would be that I share what I make from at least one of the 2.for.Tuesday ideas. Don't hold your breath on that though).

two: This one isn't off of the web, but I remembered that I had photos of this great Thanksgiving project that I want to do again this year with the kids so I'm going to share it with you instead of the one I had planned to use. I'll share it next week. Besides, I've just challenged myself to share things I've actually done and I can't resist a good challenge! This is something I remember doing probably every Thanksgiving at my Grandma's house. I had a very artistic and "crafty" Grandma. Actually, both of my Grandmas were very artisitc in their own ways. I learned a whole lot from both of them. Anyhow, this is something from my childhood and I'm happy to share it with you. I still love it. You will need: 1 apple for each participant + whatever else you want to use. Traditionally we used raisins + fruit loops (or cheerios) + mini marshmallows. In the photos we used mini marshmallows + raisins + candy corns for beaks + candy orange slices for feet + whoppers for heads. Use whatever you think would be cute and easy (whatever you have on hand). So, there you go. Have a super great Thanksgiving and... enjoy the journey!

Happy Thanksgiving Past

I'm a couple of days slow, but Happy Thanksgiving anyway. We had a lot of fun... The boys enjoyed hanging out at Grandpa & Grandma's in Bunkerville. I snapped a few pictures for all to see the excitement. Grandpa Great gets my Mom and Dad a subscription to National Geographic every year for Christmas and Little Man #1 enjoyed them alot. Little man #2 ran around like a wild man and tried to stay away from all the dogs that seem to run rampant at Grandma's house (something I'll never understand... In fact, my sister called and asked mom if they could bring their new puppy, Sam, and mom said no. She had to call back and tell her it was okay because Benny and Precious would be coming and apparently there's nothing she can do about that even though it is her house... go figure). B and I learned to play Guitar Hero and thoroughly enjoyed that. If you ever get a chance definitely try it. It totally rocks! Literally! If you look closely you can see my left contact lens sitting on my cheek just below my eye. I didn't dare to blink so my contacts kept drying out and then one finally fell out...

Hope your Thanksgiving was fun too! Enjoy the Journey.
