For Your Information

Lots of little, yet important, things to discuss today... so pay attention.

1) I have come up with a great new blog theme for me to do:

This is something I've been mulling around for a bit, and I would love your participation. What are some things you've heard about Mormons that you would like clarified? Do Mormons practice polygamy? Do Mormons believe in Jesus Christ? Do Mormons really have horns that fall off when they leave Utah? I'd love to answer these in a safe, fun atmosphere.

So you can post your questions in any comment, anonymously if you'd like, or you can email them to me by filling out my contact sheet here.


2) Don't forget to vote for your favorite blog on my sidebar (if you read me somewhere besides blogspot, you'll actually have to make an appearance to do this--I'll make it easy... here's my link.)


3) Just under my 'follow me' button I've added a new gadget. It's usefulness shall be determined by you guys. It's a share your link with me thing-a-ma-jig. All you'll need to do is sign in to google friend connect (by clicking follow me) and then you can share whatever family friendly linkages you want!

And finally...

4) I'll be taking a little vacation at the end of this month. My mother is flying in to visit me, which will be the first time in a year I've seen her (the first time in three years that I've seen her for more than a few hours). So I'm going to devote my energy to her enjoyment. Perhaps I'll pop in a bit here and there, but from Dec. 20th until Jan. 4th you guys are going to be relatively on your own.

I know. I'm sorry. Don't stop following me please. I promise I'll be back.

Now, I'm off to 4 wheel myself to Wal-Mart for some much needed milk and butter and bread. Why 4 wheel? Because here in South Dakota it snowed this weekend, and we don't do anything halfheartedly up here.


Hope you all have a great day. See you tomorrow!

So I'm dying to know, what's the deal with the underwear? I've always wanted to ask someone, but have been informed that it's sort of a rude question. But you asked for it! It's like some big secret, I can't even find any info online?! (Totally not judging, by the way, just curious!) On a side note: I think Mormon brides have the most beautiful dresses. I wish I wish there had been a selection like that in Colorado when I picked mine out.

Great question! I'll get right on that. Which, interestingly has a little to do with those beautiful dresses. :)

How-To Pretend You Work For Anthropologie

Image
The problem with Anthropologie is that they cost way too much money. WAY TOO MUCH! I mean, come on--these book boxes: source: Anthropologie Cost $68-$188! Do you have that kind of money? I don't, but you know what I do have? I have a library with a cart full of free books that no one really cares about! So guess what I did... I made my own (and then I gave them away because I really don't have anywhere to put them). Here's how. What do you think?

Altered Shoe Art: Ring Holder Shoe Tutorial

Image
This was my week two craft for So You Think You're Crafty. I placed third that week for this one. I thought you might enjoy finding out how I made it. I tried about a million different decorations before settling on one that didn't drown out my rings. I wanted them to the focal point. This is also why I went with black fabric and not something more vivid. Don't be intimidated by the lack of 101 I'm giving you. It really is a straight forward sort of project. If you know how to use a glue gun without burning yourself you can do this. Just be sure to dust off your imaginative brain space first. :) The one important thing you might be wondering is how I got the pink fabric to stick to the shoe. I really just Mod Podged it on. There are several different ways to make ring tubes that you can find online. One I saw used that colored foam paper stuff that you find in the kids craft section. I thought that might have been easier, but I had scraps o

Mutterings of a Middle-Aged Dreamer

Image
Use your words, my dear sweet soul, they are inside of you... So find them. Write, you silly girl, write so hard the world will never forget you. But does it matter if the world remembers you?  Age begins to press its hands upon your chest and the need to be remembered seems to increase with the pressure.  Stop. That's not a line of thought you're interested in pursuing.  Live in the now. Does it matter if the world remembers you if your neighbor is going hungry?  Perhaps age is merely pushing you out the door.  Go. Live in the now.
