My favorite!

I just have to share with whoever reads this blog my favorite website right now.  It is called Picnik.com and it is so awesome!  It is a photo editing site that pretty much just helps dummies like me who have tried to understand photoshop, to actually edit photos the way I want them!  Did I mention it's awesome?!  Go have a look a do a little experimenting yourself - I promise you'll be hooked in no time! :)

Road Rage

I spent about three nights painting Thomas' room and making curtains for it.  It came together pretty well and the best part is:  he loves it!  So, I'm not very good at taking pictures but this is what I've got.

Since this boy is so obsessed with cars/trains/trucks/buses/tractors, etc, I made the border a road for him to drive his cars on.  

I got him a new shelf to put toys and books in so that they don't have to take over my living room anymore.  Phew!  

These are the curtains, cute fabric huh?

Those cars, etc. that you see on the road are wooden ones that I found at the craft store.  I put some velcro on the back and on the wall so that Thomas can re-position them on the road wherever he wants.  He loves those things.

I'll be doing Jonathan's room next.  I've already painted it, but I need to get it put together before any pictures show up on here.

Raspberry Jam Session

These babies were on major sale at Kroger a few weeks ago so I bought way too many and made a few batches of freezer jam.  Mmmm!  Raspberry jam is my all-time favorite jam - I'm so excited!

I used the low-sugar formula which uses more fruit but has a lot more flavor and less calories.  Double bonus!

Glove Puppies

I found this book at the library...

and made these guys for my twin nephews for their birthdays.

They are so easy to make and so cute!  Oh and the bonus is, they're super cheap!  I'm making a few more of these for Christmas presents so I'll try to take pictures of the process.
