toothpaste!

so i hate when toothpaste gets all over everything in the bathroom. 

it is sort of a pet peeve of mine.

i saw this idea on pinterest and i thought, why not!

so i went to Wally World and picked up this bottle thing for $1.50.

Then I wrote tooth paste on it and Garran did the art work.

 here is to hoping that putting the tooth paste in here, and having the kids squirt a little on their tooth brush will help with finding toothpaste on the toilet seat lid or on the counter, or walls!!

either way, I am only out a $1.50.

here's to hoping it works!

craft-tastic!!

so my friend showed me how to make these cute little Christmas tree ornaments. 

I really loved them. I thought they were simple and cute.

each year we buy or make ornaments for each person in the family, so this year I decided this would be the ornament for everyone.

 here are the ones that I made for everyone. mine was already on the tree.

 The girls have pink thread.

 The boys have blue.

They are not completely done. I still have to attach the ribbon on the top. But close enough to blog about. I also thought about adding a star. We will see. 

I had some left over felt and so i decided to do a reindeer. 

umm. ya. he turned out a little scary. 

garran and I had a good laugh.

i think it might be the green eyes. 

anyways, i really enjoy doing fun little stuff like this. I think it is one of the reasons i love Christmas so much. it brings out my crafty side!!

Baking.

get ready for baking and crafty posts galore.

it is not my fault.

it is pinterest. 

that site is so dangerous. 

i get sucked in looking at stuff and then have to fight the urge to rummage through my craft supplies or make a run to hobby lobby.

hence the lack of blogging. 

i have been busy.

the first thing i did off of that site, were these.

they are blue berry muffins.

they are WONDERFUL!

my taste tester agrees. 

they make huge muffins and are definitely not as easy as the box mixes, but they are worth it. 

and they only make 12. 

which is good. 

eating to many could be a serious problem.
