What are You Eating?!?!

Ever thought you'd eat a tractor?!?!??

Now, I can't take credit for this design. A wife of one of Tom's customer's gave him one for Christmas. So, on the weekend, I braved the Christmas crowd at the Bulk Barn (which wasn't too bad) and found all the chocolates I needed!

Now, if you know your tractors, you are usually a green tractor fan or a red tractor fan. So, to keep everyone happy I made some of each!

Snow Day

Today is a kid's dream come true...a snow day before Christmas holidays start.

While the snow falls and blows and drifts, I've managed to keep my kids busy enough that I don't think they've even whined once!

Here's how we managed to fill half of our snow day...

Christmas Card ball

Candycane cookies (and wreaths and a ladder..not sure why the ladder).

Advent!

It's beginning to look like Christmas around our house!


Every year, I buy those cheap chocolate advent calendars for the kids, but, this year I decided to sew an advent calendar and put my own treats in for each day. I wasn't sure if this was going to be too big a task, but I surprised myself.


I found a great fabric panel that already had nice squares for pockets. I just had to cut out each individual square, iron little seams down each side, and then sew them on the red panel. A little time consuming, but I'm very happy with the results. Take a peek...


I'm not sure what I'm going to do exactly for the numbers of each day. I may just take some ribbon and hang the number on each pocket and after the kids get their chocolate, they can tuck the number in the pocket and they can see how many days until Christmas.

Here's a close up of some of the pockets.

CELL PHONE VR BIBLE

Found this on a blog, and since I don't know how to link it to mine, I thought I'd just retype it.


Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?

What if we flipped through it several time a day?

What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?

What if we used it to receive messages from the text?

What if we treated it like we couldn’t live without it?

What if we gave it to kids as gifts?

What if we used it when we traveled?

What if we used it in case of emergency?

This is something to make you go….hmm…where is my Bible?

Unlike our cell phone, we don’t have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.
Makes you stop and think ‘where are my priorities? And no dropped calls!
