Altered Clipboards

Last year for Christmas I made these altered clipboards for my best friend and my sister-in-law. I love how they turned out!  I saw the paper again at Hobby Lobby the other day, so I think I may make one for myself this year!
I had so much fun making these last year that I […]

Christmas Cards

This is the Christmas card that I made to add to the silent auction basket at school.  I made 10 of them with matching envelopes.

This is the inside of the card. These were super easy and fast to make. Which was a good thing, because I waited until the last minute to make […]

Christmas notbook

For our school’s fall carnival a few weeks ago, I made some Christmas items to add to a basket for the silent auction.  I covered a steno pad with card stock to make a cute little notebook.  These really don’t take that long to make- especially when I read the directions!   But like normal, […]

Science Fair Projects

It’s science fair time around here. Last year my son was the grand champion of the 2nd and 3rd grade at his school, so he’s under some pressure! But I tell him to just have fun with it!
This year he is testing the growth of lima bean seeds in contaminated soil. He […]

Freezing Layered Casseroles

I really like to double the recipe when I’m making casseroles. Or sometimes I make a single recipe of a casserole that makes a 9×13 and place it in 2 8×8 pans. Then we have one for that night and another one for a later date. When it’s something like Chicken Spaghetti, […]
