</div><div style="text-align: center;">Most of us are Moms, Aunts, Grandmas. and Sisters... so in this busy time of year we are pulled in a million directions. Holiday concerts, family parties, class parties, work dinners, and much much more. For the next 2 months we will be rushing to get everything done. Here are a few ideas to help you make it to January with your sanity!! :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The number one thing is to remember the REASON for the SEASON</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Take time to enjoy the actives you are at, time flies! Embrace the time with your friends and family. It doesn't have to be perfect for everyone to have a good time. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Take a few moments for yourself, even if it is only a few minutes enjoy it! Sometime I will get to the school where I pick up my kids about 15min before they get out. I take that time to relax, I listen to the music I WANT to hear, read a magazine and just relax. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It is ok to say "No!" I have a really hard time doing this, but during this time of year I try to not overload myself. We are only human and can only do so much. If it is something you just can't or do not want to do. It is perfectly ok to say "No!", you are not being mean you are just trying to keep yourself sane. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Make sure you take care of yourself!! If momma doesn't feel good it effects everyone :) ( I know this from my little family) Make sure you drink plenty of water, take vitamins or vitamin C to keep away winter bugs, dress warm when you are out and about, and make sure you get plenty of sleep.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">If you start to feel down or overloaded, call a friend or family member and get together for some non-holiday time. When I start to stress out, my BFF and I get together to scrapbook, make a run to the craft store, or make a lunch date. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And last but not least, the unexpected gift giver... Sometimes we get neighbors or friends that stop by with unexpected gifts. I always keep a few quick gifts on hand. I get a cookie mix, or muffin mix and make extra Christmas cards and tie them on with ribbon and have them pre-signed. That way when those unexpected gifts show up you have something right on hand. I call them my no-stress gifts :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope all of you have a yummy, wonderful and memory filled Thanksgiving</div><div style="text-align: center;">and a fabulous holiday season!<br />

</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #e06666; text-align: center;">I know that many of you have been touched by cancer in one way or another. It may have been you or a loved one or someone you know. It is amazing to me that such a ugly disease can do some amazing things. I have see it bring people together, families grow stronger and show people just how strong they really are. In the fall of 2004 my mom had a double mastectomy. At the time you hear the news I think the only word you hear is CANCER... but after multiple doc visits and letting her make the choice. You realize that you need to be HER support. Prayers and love is one of the best medicines. As of today she has been cancer free since then! </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #e06666; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">CURLING RIBBON!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I just learned this over the weekend and want to share with all!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Items needed:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">ribbon</div><div style="text-align: center;">scotch tape</div><div style="text-align: center;">all metal knitting needles (I used size 5)</div><div style="text-align: center;">cookie sheet</div><div style="text-align: center;">water</div><div style="text-align: center;">and last but not least an OVEN :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ5cvO7kIvpYxyAfIBw_l9vLvgyhQQg5nlz6a3FLpZB1bC6P_IRtfWlfUiWoMAjLGxcY0evgAZVOZ2wO1A1sA31TNb5Y1kO-mlWH0RvnyFSE-GRwHOO6C4_irX610Eh9tJ73USVxX953g/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ5cvO7kIvpYxyAfIBw_l9vLvgyhQQg5nlz6a3FLpZB1bC6P_IRtfWlfUiWoMAjLGxcY0evgAZVOZ2wO1A1sA31TNb5Y1kO-mlWH0RvnyFSE-GRwHOO6C4_irX610Eh9tJ73USVxX953g/s320/001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Step one: Preheat your oven to 200o F</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Step two: Tape the very end of your ribbon to the top of your knitting needle, then lightly wet the ribbon just unlit it is damp. Then wind your ribbon around the knitting needle. (the closer or tighter your wind the tighter the curl) Then tape off the other end.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2U4YSvFgfb_6NcsXqeK-sFj33HnF0lxgf_zS8K6MdugjFQB2pfS-SbPQ5xGDS0lyspQGVP99QDyeonQcv5jiAc0Mp8knxgnxya7qqwW-Z0PnON30Ps6anhE79D_e4IE4tqmUb7TfIJYY/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2U4YSvFgfb_6NcsXqeK-sFj33HnF0lxgf_zS8K6MdugjFQB2pfS-SbPQ5xGDS0lyspQGVP99QDyeonQcv5jiAc0Mp8knxgnxya7qqwW-Z0PnON30Ps6anhE79D_e4IE4tqmUb7TfIJYY/s320/003.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgjvpuZeSBDKrHTlPmCHtnR_y84UAMSbCo7Bve88EnMkqbvACQJa8EjyKb_SKSmSFOGqNABiVSMw-oU6NBttWf5HDh5Z3kZPsOZBfvEZJ0NUu82qJuLCN41TuKUnIwHcT88619H8JDJ84/s1600/009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgjvpuZeSBDKrHTlPmCHtnR_y84UAMSbCo7Bve88EnMkqbvACQJa8EjyKb_SKSmSFOGqNABiVSMw-oU6NBttWf5HDh5Z3kZPsOZBfvEZJ0NUu82qJuLCN41TuKUnIwHcT88619H8JDJ84/s320/009.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Step three: Place knitting needle on cookie sheet and put in oven for 10-15min, depending on your oven and how damn your ribbon is. I suggest checking on the ribbon every 5 min just to make sure it doesn't burn.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJlR9E61nlsk8cHli3US-Oq5DuiMuWakUoxxaYMKsKLO4wzFC7ELLBXiMzbg3PvGDLJ4d9ZeF08NUa5_bVaPFa7goU4TX_PSJdvy3l27oGAhH3aHdrRfmQYotXtGwD8awmLXvxr7Amj4Y/s1600/011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJlR9E61nlsk8cHli3US-Oq5DuiMuWakUoxxaYMKsKLO4wzFC7ELLBXiMzbg3PvGDLJ4d9ZeF08NUa5_bVaPFa7goU4TX_PSJdvy3l27oGAhH3aHdrRfmQYotXtGwD8awmLXvxr7Amj4Y/s320/011.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Step four: Remove cookie sheet with knitting needle from oven... please use a hot pad :) and let cool for about 5 mins. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Step five: Then when it has cooled, un-tape the end and unravel... and ta-da!! You have curled ribbon!! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Recipe:</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I used the sports mania cartidge for the soccer field and the soccer balls.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I used red/orange, yellow and green accent papers.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I used epoxy stickers as accents. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I made sure there were enough jornaling and picture blocks for all the action!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I inked around all the edges in black to give it a little bit of a dirty look, since boys can not seem to stay clean playing any sport :) </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>The Challenge</b>: Create A <b>new</b> project with the theme Splish Splash!<br />
<br />
Time to catch up on those summer lay-outs and Thank You notes for letting us splash in your pool!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We took an AMAZING summer vacation this year! Georgia, Alabama, and Florida! This is one trip I do not want to forget so I decided to make a scrap book of our trip! EEEK my first one!<br />
<br />
<br />
We spent the day at the beach so I plan on making a page for that fun beach day!<br />
<br />
So to start I made this library pocket card using my Gypsy, shells from stretch your imagination, wave from Sizzix and liquid pearls. <br />
I made a tag and added a colored index card to use for my journaling. I already have the page planned in my head so this is a perfect start!<br />

<br />
The Challenge: Create A new project with the theme Back to School!<br />
<br />
This is the perfect challenge to get some cards ready to have on hand when needed!<br />
<br />
<br />
Here are some examples of notes you may need to send to the teacher:<br />
<br />
<br />
The dog really did eat the homework.<br />
<br />
My Son/Daughter told me, that her friend told her, that her sister heard....<br />
<br />
Please excuse my Son/Daughter from last night's homework we were really busy last night.<br />
<br />
What project?<br />
<br />
Why is this is the first I am hearing of this?<br />
<br />
Sorry we are late! We thought it was Saturday!<br />
<br />
Are you sure it was my child that started it?<br />
<br />
<br />
A beautiful handmade card can really come in handy in any of the above situations!<br />
<br />
<br />
Have a funny story?? Please leave it in my comments!<br />
<br />
<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">My tip is on how to save $$...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaGsb65Xk69j90SBg2g5CyYyC4Fh26FQuHCcH239eewa-PFGle4i7twG19X5sRDKsFzm7QDgV39SUxG-_H_A5VJLWfccCUdjzA5IvTGWnOFsBbzDi8JCNmqB7NRzxXnnTsWLBBMTTvnb4/s1600/coupons.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaGsb65Xk69j90SBg2g5CyYyC4Fh26FQuHCcH239eewa-PFGle4i7twG19X5sRDKsFzm7QDgV39SUxG-_H_A5VJLWfccCUdjzA5IvTGWnOFsBbzDi8JCNmqB7NRzxXnnTsWLBBMTTvnb4/s1600/coupons.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I know a lot of people have started tightening the budgets and looking for ways to save money. </div><div style="text-align: center;">One way I have seen people saving money is using coupons. I have thought to myself that it looks like it takes a lot of time and energy, but after taking a quick class I found out it can be much eaiser.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am not a super couponer... yet, but I am trying to learn and I am passing what knowledge I do have on to you :) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I started using coupons less than a month ago and I put everything I have saved into a "savings" so far I have saved 55.50$. To me that was quite something. This is money I would have spent if I did not have a coupon. So that opened my eyes to looking at using coupons a little closer... here is what I have learned.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><ol style="text-align: center;"><li>It is suggested that you get a paper for every person that is in your home (I get 4)</li>
<li>Only clip the coupons you know you will use. If you don't have pets don't clip those coupons.</li>
<li>Also if you have 4 sets of the same coupons, line the papers up and cut them all at once. </li>
<li>Go to manufacturers websites to see if they have coupons.</li>
<li>Also look online for coupons such as <a href="http://coupons.com/">coupons.com</a> or <a href="http://smartsource.com/">smartsource.com</a>. </li>
<li>Look at the ads on Sunday and see who has the best deal on what is on your "grocery list" and shop there. </li>
<li>Organize coupons in categories so you can find them quickly. (baby, bread & cereal, cleaner, dairy, dessert, meat, medicine, paper goods, personal hygiene, and misc) </li>
</ol><div style="text-align: center;">I am just learning, but it is something I hope can help save me more money and I can start having food storage as well. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">#1 Baby Wipes~ I use them to clean up my desk after using stamps, or</div><div style="text-align: center;">glitter. I also use them to clean off my self-healing mat. I have used</div><div style="text-align: center;">them to clean off my stamps. And also to clean up my hands</div><div style="text-align: center;">after inking or using glue so I don't get it on my project where it does not belong.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPo8FfHUD6zXJ1GOmgaW3pNc-8bXQ29tslHkwkmGLXnAjKaA2g7MmHatohZyAL7ixMTATKPxHJ8XG4tAYvs9KDvWqBO6EiB3WGFPEtIlDqzXUqiJpwWdByEl16Vhpd3cC5GwHOKUdZbFw/s1600/baby+wipes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPo8FfHUD6zXJ1GOmgaW3pNc-8bXQ29tslHkwkmGLXnAjKaA2g7MmHatohZyAL7ixMTATKPxHJ8XG4tAYvs9KDvWqBO6EiB3WGFPEtIlDqzXUqiJpwWdByEl16Vhpd3cC5GwHOKUdZbFw/s1600/baby+wipes.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">#2 Lighter~ I use this for my ribbon and to distress paper. The way I use it </div><div style="text-align: center;">on my ribbon is to keep it from fraying. I will light it and gently get it close just</div><div style="text-align: center;">enough so that my ribbon will not fray. Also I sometimes will burn the edges of a paper</div><div style="text-align: center;">to make it look distressed.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I used a wooden craft I found at the dollar store as the back, then I used an fun and bright animal print for the back ground. I used vellum for the glass and glitter paper for the drink. I used diamond dust on the rim of the glass to give it the salt look. I used my crop-a-dile punched 2 holes thru it and cut the letters out in vinyl. I used ink around the edges to make it look all black. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope you enjoyed my little sign and I hope the rest of your summer is great!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
First of all I would like to introduce myself. Hi, this is Mollie. This is my first time doing a quick tip Tuesday so I hope you all enjoy. <br />
<br />
Once a month my girl-friends and I have a crop day. We trade who's house we go to and we always watch chick flicks, have snacks and if we are lucky between all the gabbing we get some crafting done. After a few times of doing this I got an idea... there are things in my craft room I NEVER use, maybe one of my girl-friends could use it. So we started a swap table. We set aside one table in the room that we put things we no longer want. Through out the day the gals look through it and some days the table ends up empty and other times it doesn't. We have found this is a really nice thing, because it encouraged some of us to clean out our rooms and actually look through all of our treasures. In a way I look at it as recycling because if I can't use it someone else can. So my tip for Tuesday is, look at what you have and if you know you aren't going to use it.... maybe your friends can.<br />

<br />
I did a 2 page layout for this challenge. Our family has not had a reunion in years since we all live so close and see each other often. So I went with this challenge with what I thought would be a great place for a reunion. CAMPING!!<br />
I have used buttons, ribbon, yarn, pop-dots and chipboard for this layout. <br />
