Sunday is for resting and a little planning.

Are you resting today?  How is your day off going?  Mine is not going quite as planned but it’s okay.  My daughter worked today instead of yesterday so we still woke up early.  Of course it’s been a slower morning for the hubby and I. So today I am cleaning a bit after Card ClassContinue reading “Sunday is for resting and a little planning.”

Farmers’ market, sales, and host codes!

If you go to the Farmers’ Market this morning make sure to bring your bag.  And inside your bag bring some canned goods for the 29 Palms Food Pantry.  Make sure to ask about the raffle also.  They are raffling off a $100 gift certificate each month to be used at the market with theContinue reading “Farmers’ market, sales, and host codes!”

So many ways to give back.

There are so many ways to give back or pay it forward.  It’s really only limited by your imagination.  You can buy lunch for a friend, pay for someone else’s coffee, mail a card, share a smile…to name a few. Just recently I found a new way.  By attending events that you are involved in. Continue reading “So many ways to give back.”

Want to go on a picnic?

This month’s Paper Pumpkin is picnic themed.  Have you gone on a picnic recently?  Do you pick up some fried chicken or do you make tamales?  What is your tradition? For today’s picnic we are having paper.  I know it’s not the most appetizing but that’s what is on the menu.  I took the ApronContinue reading “Want to go on a picnic?”

No more kinks in your twine.

Have you ever unwound some of your twine to find all these kinks where it was folded?  What did you do to un-kink it?  Did you iron, soak, or lay out for days?  Here’s a tip for you.  Take a baby wipe and run the twine through it.  The moisture will take the kinks rightContinue reading “No more kinks in your twine.”

Sponging three different ways.

I figured since the Paper Pumpkin has a picnic theme this month I would continue that theme with the basket weaving embossing folder.  So today’s technique is how to color this basket weave with a sponge.  You can also spritz, dip, paint, or bleach it.  But, for now, we sponge. The top color was doneContinue reading “Sponging three different ways.”

Mondays are a great start to the week!

I’ve heard many complain about Mondays being the start of the work week, the hangover from the weekend, or just simply muddling through.  I am choosing for today to be great!  I keep reading that attitude is everything.  Let’s test it! So for this week…it’s CARD CLASS week!  If you have not already RSVP’ed todayContinue reading “Mondays are a great start to the week!”

Giving back tomorrow!

The Farmers’ Market is tomorrow in 29 Palms!  I would encourage you to go from 8-noon at Bucklin Park.  The farmers that support the market are doing so not only by vending, but by giving back.  Much of the produce that doesn’t sell they are donating to our local food bank.  This week they areContinue reading “Giving back tomorrow!”
