The Reminiscing Challenge

-

 For summer, I want us all to participate in a fun challenge - don’t worry, it is super easy and won’t take any time at all. 

First, I want you to think about the first art project you ever made. When you were a little child, that is. I don’t mean the first wood table you carved, or the first Picasso-style painting you made. See if you can remember the VERY first thing you EVER made. I know, crazy, right? 

Now, recreate it with the resources and skills now available to you, and comment your progress. 

The first person to comment with details about their first project and how they recreated it with new tools wins a very special prize — they get to tell me what topic they want my next blog post to be! 

Have fun, and enjoy reminiscing!

    My first project was knitting with a little gadget called a Knit Wit!

      I think my first craft was probably a drawing of a car. I recently drew a picture of a creepy monster.

    My memory goes as far back for crafting as when I was probably four and my family and I were making little paper turkeys. I probably remember this because I somehow cut my finger deeply using the little toddler scissors.

Christmas to do list:

 Here is a handy to do list now that the Christmas season is really upon us. I hope this will help you stay organized while appreciating the spirit and joy of this holiday. We all know they can get a little stressful, but if we keep organized and focus on blessings and gratitude, there is nothing we can’t handle.  1. Put up your decorations. You can go minimal or bold but we all know the importance of some decor. Hopefully the second your tree is up you’ll instantly feel more Christmasy.  2. Volunteer or help someone in need. This is a little cat with special needs. Sometimes he wobbles when he walks. I love him. Spread the Christmas love this season.  3. Dream of a white Christmas, and take advantage of the snow days we do have. Snowball fights, snow angels, sledding, the possibilities are endless. Spend these days outside and don’t waste them. Take the days off from responsibilities.  4. Do your Christmas baking. Package up boxes to send to neighbors and family.  5. Test out Christma

A Socially Awkward Teen

-
 Hi! So recently, I decided to go shopping. I’m not normal a huge shopper, but it was my great grandma’s 90th birthday and I needed a nice dress for pictures. So I decided to go to Ross Dress For Less. Don’t judge me. Now, as you probably know, in a Ross Dress For Less, anything goes.  Anyway, I was having trouble finding a dress that I would wear to a 90th birthday party and not a Vegas Night Club. But I just couldn’t. So I decided I would probably wear something I already had.  But, being the homeschooled quarantine socially awkward teen that I am, I was so petrified that someone would think I had done something wrong if I didn’t buy a dress. So I got a dress and headed to the fitting rooms. I got my clothes number and headed to a stall. The lock was a bit janky but I managed. I went back out and headed for my cart but was stopped by a worker who said I needed to give him my card. I did not have my card.  He forced me to go back to the changing room TWICE but I couldn’t find anything

  This is such an easy slime recipe you’ll hardly believe it!  Just mix up 4 cups of shaving cream, four tablespoons of contact solution, and 2 cups of glue. Add food coloring if you want. Then you just mix it until it feels like your arm will fall off. Easy as that.  Have fun slime makers!
