Reasons why I don't miss being in Junior High

After this weekend, I realized how much I don't miss being a Junior High kid. Don't get me wrong, I love Junior High Kids, I love them so much I advise them at church but never intend to have one of my own.

So I started thinking about the days when I was in Junior High, and thought of reasons why I don't miss being in Junior High from what I've observed this past weekend

Because...

... Life's happiness was too dependant on my BFF's.

... Screaming was the only way I knew how to express my happiness.

... I was so awkward.

... Boys still had cooties.

... I was never able to let my hair down and play.

... I was always worried about what other people thought

... Mt.Dew and Laffy Taffy was a "balanced diet" for me.

... My feet were too big for my body

... I wasn't sure if I wanted to be a big kid or a little kid.

... I had just moved from a small school and was a small fish in a big pond.

... I played sports in that big pond that I found out I wasn't so good at afterall.

What were you like in Junior High? Do you miss it?

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!
