BRING SPRING TO YOUR HOME

BRING IT ON HOME
IF YOU HAVEN’T FIGURED OUT I HAVE THE INABILITY TO THROW ANYTHING AWAY.  THEREFORE, OF COURSE I HAD TO DO SOMETHING WITH ALL THESE PINWHEELS.  FINALLY A REWARD FOR MY PROCRASTINATION.  I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO MAKE ONE OF THOSE CUTE PENDANT BANNERS, BUT HAVEN’T HAD THE TIME. (AND JUST MAYBE I AM TOO STINGY WITH MY FABRIC) SO.. I DECIDED ON THE PINWHEEL BANNER.  IT SEEMS CRAZY MAKING SPRING CRAFTS WHEN I AM STILL WAKING UP TO FRESH SNOWFALL.  HOWEVER, IT’S MY KRAZY ATTEMPT TO FOOL MOTHER NATURE OR MYSELF THAT SPRING WILL COME. EITHER WAY, AT LEAST MY LIVING ROOM FEELS SPRINGY JUST DON’T LOOK OUT THE WINDOW! 
*PINWHEEL BANNER~  LINE-UP VARIOUS COLORS AND SIZES OF PINWHEELS. I RAN A THIN WIRE THROUGH MINE, AND TAPED IT IN THE BACK SO PINWHEEL WOULDN’T TILT FORWARD. THEN, WEAVED A RIBBON TO HIDE THE WIRE. 
*WIND SIGN~ I FIRST FOUND A QUOTE ON-LINE THAT NOT ONLY FIT MY PINWHEEL THEME, BUT IS SURELY TO INSPIRE MY CHILDREN TO SOLVE WORLD PEACE. I THEN PRINTED IT OUT ON CARDSTOCK AND MATTED IT.  I USED GLUE DOTS TO PUT IT ALL TOGETHER SO I CAN PEEL IT ALL OFF AND USE THE BOARD AGAIN LATER.  SLAPPED A FLOWER TOGETHER AND GLUE DOTTED IT ON.  
THROW IT ALL UP ON THE MANTLE AND NOW SPRING CAN OFFICIALLY COME.

Reality TV

Just how real is reality television?  Do random strangers really fall in love in a week while dual dating with 20 other women?   Apparently, you can be a  Real Housewife, but not be a wife nor have any grip on the real world.  And who would have ever imagined that the last frontier state Alaska would put reality on the map.  I speak with no judgement.  I myself am an avid Housewives fan, and my son not only wants to be an Alaskan bush pilot, but actually prefers discovery channel over Disney.   Lets face it, if I wanted a REAL reality show, I would put video cameras in my own house and watch my life over again.  24 hours of fighting, crying, and drama who wouldn't want to tune into that?   Now, if you would excuse me as I pack to move to Alaska.  We are working on our next venture already...
