Time for snowflakes

It's time for snowflakes again! Last year, I asked my friends with children (and even those without) to help their kids make snowflakes. Then I asked that they send the snowflakes to me. I hung the snowflakes on our sliding glass door. You can see the end result here.

It was amazing. They really dressed up the kitchen and brightened every morning.

I loved the creativity of each family.

If you would like to, please make a snowflake and send it to me! As soon as I start receiving them, I'll start hanging them on the door. I can't wait to see what I get this year!!

my latest creation

I wanted to share the most recent craft project I completed.

I made this for Addison's first birthday.

I thought Juliette might like it, it's a Siamese kitty like her!

four out of nine

Whoever said cats have nine lives didn't mean lives. They meant collars.

Atticus has now gone through three collars. He's currently wearing his fourth.

The positive side is that he's getting out of them if they're getting caught on something. Maybe it is lives.

I just wish he'd learn to bring the collar back home. Those "cat" tags aren't cheap.

Well for one tag it's not expensive but multiply that by four and it starts to add up.

Either way, he's got five more...

the light is on in the attic

I went through two boxes that have been in our attic, and in my life, for too long.

I was keeping things like the wall calendar from my senior year of high school.

Sure there are lots of memories that go with it, but it doesn't mean anything to anyone else. Why am I keeping it?

I had a pile for trash, a pile for recycling, a pile for donation and a pile to keep. Oh, and a pile of this-belongs-somewhere-else. Like all the photos I found. Those belong in my photo box.

For the things that meant something to me, I took a picture of it before disposing of it. That means I have more to blog about!

I have many more boxes to go through. Most of those hold knick-knacks. I don't know what I'm going to do with those... leaving them in boxes in the attic doesn't seem like a good idea.

What I'm thankful for...

... today I am thankful that there are only twenty-nine days left of my ridiculous blogging for another year.

No, I haven't been perfect.

No, I didn't have to blog every day.

It was a goal. It kept me blogging. Seriously, without the goal I don't know that I would have blogged. I mean, I've mentioned my habit of leaving pictures on my camera, can you imagine what would happen to my blog?

So here's to my last twenty-nine days. We'll see what December 1st brings...
