More crafty!

We celebrated Christmas last week and I got SO much tiny stuff!!

However, in true me fashion I forgot to take pics before cause I was so excited and just started doing tiny crafty things.

But here are some pics!

The drinks were from a Dollar Tree cafe series that’s really $5 (but that’s still cheap!) and I apparently cut out the Capybara I did but you can see the card on the bottom right for what he looks like.

He has a tiny ducky!!

The pumpkins are part of last years Halloween series and you get to dig the insides out, pop out the faces and put candles in them!

Since the candles don’t glow I decided to dip them in sparkly glow-in-the-dark glue.

Haven’t had a chance to test it out and see if it worked, but it’s worth a shot!

I have so much more and I’ll try to remember the before pics…but I make no promises.

Have a wonderful week!

Crafty is back on the menu!

Tiny artworks!!
There’s plastic backing you peel off to make the smaller frame stick to the back of the art.

There’s plastic backing on the sides too. I tried the first time to fold it just with my fingers and smoothing it down, but that didn’t work too well.

Attempt two was simply to press each side on using the table. More rigid than my fingers so it actually stuck better and without weird air pockets.

The bottom part can go up and down depending on the artwork you use it for!

Ta-da!!!

Let the crafty commence!

See everyone next week with more tiny!

Christmas is coming!

At this point y’all know my family doesn’t always celebrate Christmas on actual Christmas Day.

If all goes as planned, we’ll be celebrating March 13!

YAY!!!

Until next week!!

Uh oh

I have to admit, I think I’m a tad bit depressed again.

I’m reading, but it’s kind of a struggle and I haven’t done a crafty thing in weeks!

It’s not that the books aren’t good! I just don’t want to pick one up, but it’s easier then thinking about doing a crafty thing.

I’m dealing with some health stuff too.

God got me through before and He’ll do it again.

I never say no to extra prayers!

Have a fantastic week everyone!

Audiobooks!

I have realized since I started driving that sometimes music can make me sleepy. It’s why it’s so important for me to have audiobooks ready to listen to when I have more than a twenty minute drive.

This last trip I decided to finally listen to the Stargate Atlantis cds my sister got me a couple years ago for Christmas!

They.

Were.

FANTASTIC!!!

ALL 5 stars!!

Even the creepy Wraith one that I listened to while driving at night…

No regerts! 😉

See y’all next time and never apologize for listening to audiobooks because they’re books too!

Snow day(s)!!

Apparently I missed last week and I do apologize!

As most of us are aware, and experienced, there was a massive snow/ice storm that made its way through the USA last week.

I was playing a game if go-into-work or not-go-into work. At one point I was actually driving to work (hadn’t made it far) when my boss said to stay home.

When the boss can’t make it in, you don’t have to make it in!

Anyways, not unlike COVID I lost track of the days and completely forgot to post.

Sorry y’all!

I did keep everyone in my prayers for safety during the storm and aftermath!

Until next time, stay warm!

Happy Birthday! (To me!)

My birthday was last week and I spent it eating and reading!

What a fantastic two days it was!

I haven’t actually celebrated my birthday cause I can’t do that until we celebrate Christmas (rules are rules), but I always ask off for my birthday and this year I happened to have two days off.

I got some pastries from a local bakery, some BBQ and mac & cheese, Olive Garden, and snacks from a Japanese shop!

I then spent the two days reading so many volumes of Naruto!

😁😂

I’ve watched the anime so many times and didn’t realize I hadn’t read past volume 20ish. I actually decided to read it in December and just read 5 volumes at a time and then one of my owned books, but the story is just so good!

I may have maxed out my library card…and used my mama’s too.

I may also have gone to a second library system to check out the few copies the first didn’t have available.

It was time well spent! (I’m not quite done yet, but almost there!)

Enjoy the week, stay warm and keep praying!

Christmas!

Speaking of my FAVORITE holiday!

We haven’t celebrated yet. I blame hockey.

Just kidding!

We just decided to celebrate later, so I’ll post pics when we do of course.

In other news!

I started reading the Naruto manga. I thought I had read it, but I guess I didn’t get too far. I’ve definitely seen the anime several times!

With 72ish volumes in the main series, I’ll meet this years reading goal before the middle of the year!

Till next time, find an old comfort read and enjoy! (Again!)

More excuses!

We had a BIG after Christmas sale at work over the weekend and also had a call out today…

Needless to say, I am way too tired to think of a post this week.

Sorry!
