While it is still cold outside, it is never too early to think about spring and work on AHG merit badges. My daughter recently completed her Home Decorating Merit Badge.

You know how to make a girl feel special.
I want to take a moment to thank each and everyone of you. When I began blogging, I was unsure where this adventure would go. I did not tell anyone I blogged, for I was uncertain and afraid – what would I write about; would anyone want to read what I wrote; how long would this interest last (a few months?).
Yet here I am almost two years later, and I now have 100 followers. Compared to some big name blogs this is pretty crummy, but it makes my heart swell. I have intentionally not told any of my friends that I blog, and most of my extended family is still in the dark. So each of you is a complete stranger to me. Yet, you encourage me to keep writing.
Lately, I have been sharing a lot of my knitting projects; if you stopped by to see them there are more coming. But I feel I have neglected my other interests. I have several posts planned, but am struggling to find the time to sit and write. I dream of days when I will be able to do that.
If this is your first time stopping by or you follow me, thank you for encouraging me to continue to share the projects that I am working on. If you have just stumbled upon this page, you may want to check out some of my top posts.
Fudge-a-Mania
No, I’m not talking about the classic children’s book. Wait, does a book that is less than 25 years old count as a “classic”? Ok, back on topic.
Fudge is a Christmas classic. One of the first recipes I shared with you is for Chocolate Fudge. But if you are looking for something a little extra special give these a try.
Bathroom Makeover, Part 4
The beach is our favorite place to vacation. I love spending the day sitting on the beach with my toes in the sand reading a book. Everytime we go, we come home with a collection of shells. I decided they would be the perfect addition to the bathroom.
Sweet Birthday Surprise
Recently my brother-in-law hit had a birthday. The BIG ONE! He joined the ranks of us over the hill folks. He’s now old!! Yes, that’s right he turned 40. (Hey, I can say that I too am 40).
We celebrated with a quiet evening at home. For his birthday, I made him a candy bar bouquet. It had 40 candy bars.
This project began with a metal pot I picked up at the Dollar Tree. I added a layer of glass marbles, I already owned, to give it some weight. Next, I cut a piece of styrofoam to fit inside the pot. Using my hot glue gun I attached Snickers bar to the outside of the pot. I then attached bamboo skewers to the remaining candy bars. All that was left was to insert the skewers into the pot with a little tissue paper.
This was really easy to make and my brother-in-law seemed to enjoy it. It should last him a little while.
