Hope for Japan

This is a BRAND NEW Fundraiser.  For $5 you can purchase the "Hope for Japan" stamp set and the ENTIRE $5 will be donated to the RED CROSS to help the earthquake and tsunami survivors in Japan.

I've been thinking a lot about the people whose lives have been affected there - as I am sure you have, too.  This is a great way to  help them - no one is making a profit and ALL OF THE MONEY will go to the RED CROSS.

January 2011 CTMH Spotlight Blog Hop: Valentine Ideas

CTMH Spotlight Blog Hop: VALENTINES!!!

Welcome, welcome to the bloghop - this is going to be fun!   
I hope you get a fun idea for Valentines before your through.


You should have come here from Laurie's blog.  I hope you are already having a GREAT TIME!

The adorable candy inside is called "Sundrops"  and you can get it at the health food store.  Aren't they cute?!

I used:

Priceless Love Word Puzzle stamp set  D1348

Cherry O Level 2 Paper Packet

It's my "Snowgirl".

Next on the hop is Luisa.  Go see what great Valentine ideas she has ready for you AND REMEMBER TO LEAVE COMMENTS!!  


Don't we all live for comments? . .. and air and water - I like those things, too.

Menu Planning

I've been working really hard to create healthy menus for my family and to organize them to make the whole planning meals process quick and easy.

So now that I've put all on my menu ideas together I'll need a place to store them. I used a template for library pockets and made one slot to hold menus for each weekday (plus one extra).  I'm almost done making it so you'll have to check back soon to see the pictures of my finished project.

Want a sneak peak? I used this paper packet: Cherry-O 
I thought it was appropriate for a kitchen.

Check back soon! And then let me know what you think of my final project.
