Creative Saturday

I SO wish I could show you what I created but unfortunately, my Secret Santa may read my blog and I don't want her to guess that it's me. But, I did make something that I think she's going to like. I also plan to make something for my Boos. Very simple stuff but yet, I know that they will appreciate it.

I'm always on the lookout for something unique and different as far as ornaments and Christmas things to make. A few years ago, I used to plan a huge Christmas craft party for my daughter and their friends, sleep over style, making ornaments and then, gingerbread houses. There were games to play, shaving cream fights and lots of Christmas carols to sing. This was an every year thing and believe me, it was fun! After the divorce, the tradition continued but with the girls and I making the ornaments, together. Last year, TV Boo and Boyfriend Boo both participated and wow, it was so much fun to see what they came up with.

Here are pictures of some of the creations from years gone by.










Were you creative today?

YOU are very creative! Me-- Nope, not creative for one second today. I'm too tired for cooking and eating and cleaning up :-)

Hope your Thanksgiving was terrific and all is well. I haven't been reading blogs for 3 days so I'm just now getting caught up.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Really cute projects and fun for all. I didn't do much in creative Saturday! Zapped by the weather and post Thanksgiving Turkey hangover! Have a wonderful Sunday!

Looks to me like you are resourceful and creative! That's a winning combo.

Alas, today I was not creative. I watched a bunch of Dexter episodes...about a serial killer who kills only the people who deserve it...the bad guys. It's his code of ethics. Dark and twisted.

I love your creative things! I used to do a lot of that, but now I think I work too much. I'm going to a wreath making party this week though, so will have a chance to be creative again.

Simone, I wish you were my mama!!! Talk about a fun thing to do with your girls...so many fabulous memories made and shared!!!

I spent yesterday just enjoying my "me" day so I wasn't really very creative at all. I did write in my journal at the end of the day so in that regard I was creative...oh and I took some photos of the sun as it was sinking into the west on the drive to visit my son...so yes, I WAS creative!! (though I can't take credit for the sun..that belongs to someone else!!)

I love the snowmen! What are those at the bottom --the last pic?

We had an artsy Sunday afternoon yesterday. The kids made Christmas cards and fingerpainted and J made a "famous drawing."

Have a great week ahead!

Love the smores snowmen!
You are hands down the most creative person I know. My creativity flew completely out the window, as I have not been feeling well and slept the whole day away. Maybe next week...

Only I....

Only I --- could cut my tongue eating a graham cracker. Only I --- could be the designated pillow for the kitty. Only I --- could cry from hearing O Come All Ye Faithful. Only I --- could eat seaweed for breakfast and convince myself that it is the yummiest snack there is. (Even better than Reeses Puffs Cereal) .

My Bucket List

My twin sis and I have bucket lists. The funny thing is that they aren't literally on paper. They are in our heads. For instance, my Nay Nay called me and said, "You won 't believe what I did!  I got big girl shoes…for my bucket list." "Really? Big girl shoes?" I asked. I knew exactly what she meant. When we were born, and back in the day when braces could or should be recommended for feet that in-toed, we weren't given that joy. As a result, walking in high heels can often be a challenge. My Nay Nay decided that she was going to cross off one thing on that bucket list and found a deal of 10 pairs of heels. (Not one but 10. She went for the gusto.) Each day, she practiced walking in her big girl shoes until the moment finally came and she ROCKED those heels! Together we have decided that we WILL cross off stuff on our growing bucket lists. Some of those things are on both of our lists while others are our very own "personal" bucket lists...
