I'm moving my blog!

I would greatly appreciate it if you would FOLLOW my new site!

In Person!

I love technology! This being said, let it be known that email, Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, Pintrest, dare I throw in the very dated site MySpace, and any sites I have neglected to mention, do not take the place of "in person" communication!  Let me define "in person":  Communication that takes place in person, face to face, reach out and touch it, face to face, although Skype might be acceptable in long distance situations.  Other forms of personal communication are, God forbid, a handwritten note or letter, yes correspondence with a stamp and US Postal delivery ( we could save a few American jobs here), and last but not least a phone call, not a text message! It seems that these popular forms of communication have come to define a "friend",  "follower", and sadly enough "family".  Although I appreciate these  connections, they are not equivalent to an organic/old fashioned relationship!! Please continue to post to your preferred media website, but please pick up the phone, call someone, write them a sweet note and put it in the mail, or as Bacardi says, "make a status update in person"!!

Wednesday Wants

I want my girls to remember

the value of having each other,

to cherish this, and treat each other with kindness

Miniature World

I found the most amazing blog Nunu's House 

through another blog I follow Cozy Biscuit

I found a new knitting pattern!

Spud and Chloe Flap Happy Hat

The yarn I used was also from Spud and Chloe.
It comes in  23 beautiful colors 

The finished product on Lacey.
I opted for braided tassles intead of pom poms.
One down several to go!

I love RicRac and Roses

Kendall made this rose from ricrac

Ice Cream Fun!

Put 1 cup of Half and Half, 2 tablespoons of sugar,
and 1 teaspoon of vanilla flavoring 
in a quart size Ziploc freezer bag
You can choose other flavors
and add food coloring for extra fun

 

Take a gallon size Ziploc freezer bag and fill half way with ice
then add 1/2 cup of salt ( we used canning salt).
Put the bag with liquid mixture inside the gallon bag and seal.
We put on glove to protect our hands from the cold,
 you can also wrap the bag in a towel.
Toss the bag between your hands for 6 to 8 mins.
To help the time to pass put on a favorite song
and dance and shake the bag at the same time!

Take the quart size bag out of the gallon bag
 and wash the ice and salt off the outside of the bag.
Open the quart size bag and be amazed at your creation

It's yummy. Try it, you will like it too!
