If you need me ...

I'll be watching all the episodes of LOST courtesy of ABC.com.

In the meantime, here's what I made today:

(And yes, it is similar to the pattern I linked to the other day, and no I didn't buy the pattern, I just made one on my own. I think the other one would work much better but this one will work, and I REALLY wanted the apron pattern from that site and so decided to purchase that one and try this one on my own!)

Thing-A-Day: Day 4

Continuing on with the book theme ....

My oldest dd made another book today (and really they are so cute. I've tried to take pictures of the pages, but they don't turn out well and I REALLY wish that I had a scanner to scan them in that way). My other daughter made a bookmark. And I also made a bookmark - this one out of fabric =)

I really like my bookmark though. I think it turned out very cute. Although, I was also thinking that I might add a little charm to the end of it to give it some weight to hang down, but I'm not sure because I really like it now and sometimes too much can be, well, too much!

It did occur to me that maybe y'all don't want to see our things each day and that you could go over to the website to look at all the nice things over there (or to just look at my feed). So maybe I will only post the ones I am REALLY excited about.

On another note, my dh told me today he LOVED the accordion book I made and definitely wants me to make more and he thinks I should make them to send to his mom! Which is good because I had a LOT of fun making it and will have no problem whipping up some more! Of course, that will mean a few more supplies might need to be purchased. And oh darn. We all know how much I dislike going to buy supplies to craft with LOL!

Anyway, that's all for today!

Thing-A-Day: Day 3

Today was I made a really fun thing: an accordion book. Now, I have never made one of these before and didn't know how much fun I would have with it. We took a trip to the zoo recently and so I made it from those pictures. I can see how these could become quite addicting! If I ever made a scrapbook from this time, I think the accordion book would fit int here very nicely and give me a way to showcase lots of pictures without doing 10 scrapbook pages.
I took a bunch of pictures, (which you can see here), but I'll just post the mosaic of them here:

My girls also both did their projects today as well. One made a bookmark and the other made a book. It's so cute. They wake up and almost immediately begin to brainstorm about what they will make for thing-a-day today! They are having fun with it and that is really fun for me to watch =)

I do believe that I will be making more of these little books in the future! They really were fun to make. I'm also thinking I might display this on the fireplace mantle for a bit and maybe once a month or so making a new one to put there as a way to showcase photos and have something to save for when I finally get around to making scrapbooks! =)

Thing-A-Day: Day 2

(yes, even though I am posting at the Thing-A-Day site, I also plan to post all items over here as well!)

So, keeping with our theme of books, today we all made books! The girls both decorated their pages (and I have to say, they did a fabulous job but I'm biased LOL). I kept mine blank. I am not sure what I will do with it though ... Maybe I will use it to do some drawings through out February ;-)

 

 

On another note, today I was at a party and going to give the blog address out. I could NOT remember the address. Um, hello! I swear I have no brain sometimes. I admit, I felt so embarrassed, just standing there thinking. I wrote something down and I *think it was correct! I'll have to see if any comments show up ROFL!

Thing-A-Day: Day 1

Our first theme is "books."

Today we decided to make book marks for this theme.

Here is all three of ours (my 8 year old's, 5 year old's and mine):

And a close-up of mine:

It says "A book is like a garden carried in the pocket. Chines Proverb"
