My Little Bit of Sunshine

Day 13: Make co-workers gifts My sisters and I got together today to make cute little gifts for coworkers. It is a fun challenge for me to come up with ideas for 15 coworkers. I have to be somewhat economical, but I want them to be crafty and useful as well. Anyway, I thought my current idea was pretty good. I can't share for people that I will provide these gifts will read my blog and I like suprises for people. So maybe later!

Day 12: Hang a Christmas Sash for Cards Step 1 Start by cutting your wide ribbon about two feet long. To make the ends look pretty fold one end of the ribbon lengthwise and cut it diagonally, repeat same step on the other end. Step 2 Now using our wall adhesive tape, cut a small strip of it and place it one one end of your ribbon and affix it vertically on a flat surface of your wall where you want to display your cards. Place another strip of your wall adhesive tape to the other end of your ribbon to keep it in place. Step 3 Now comes the fun part, apply your cards with either the wall adhesive tape or some small clothespins onto the ribbon. The clothespins work great because you can freely move them easily to add more cards if needed. You can find the mini clothespins at stationary stores, Walmart and Target. Step 4 If you have more cards then make another strip of ribbon the same way as you did the other one. I can't wait to get more cards...the ones we have are so cute.

Day 11:Shovel a Neighbor's walk Thanks for the great snowfall. DONE!

Day 10: Pick tags off an Angel Tree At the church christmas party, our family chose four children to buy gifts for. We have two girls and two boys. We are to buy 1 boy and 1 girl each a stocking filled with fun things, and the others, thier major presents. How fun! It is so much fun to shop for children. I hope the children like what we pick for them. Mads and I will have so much fun shopping.

Day 9: Have a family breakfast with christmas music Our family does not typically sit down and eat breakfast together due to different schedules so it was nice to sit down, listen to music, relax and eat breakfast together.

December 8, 2009: Donate cans to a food drive. We collected cans to take to work and as I already explained, Mt View will double the amount which is great! So...cans donated to the soup kitchen: check!

Day 7: Buy the dogs a christmas TREAT! So Madison and I headed off to the store in search of a good present for the dogs. Of course, we chose some rawhide bones and stuck them under the tree for Christmas morning. This helps with them staying out of all the toys and tree ornaments!
