Tackling my List and Getting Crafty

You know the type of people who make lists of things they want to do, and the list just keeps getting longer and longer and nothing ever gets crossed off? Well I am one of those people! One of my goals for this year was to be craftier…and I have yet to tackle that goal and it is almost July! So I have decided to “Just Do It” – I am going to try and do one crafty thing each week…even if it is little! I am so excited! My first craft was a success and so I will be posting that one hopefully soon, just have to put the finishing touches on it. Many of the things on my list require sewing…I am clueless on how to sew – I always wish I was but never have had the chance. My wonderful Mother-in-law was going to get me a machine a few years ago for Christmas but my mother told her I would never use it…and I want to prove that wrong! :) Anyways just thought I’d make it official (since I posted it now I have to do it)!

If any of you are crafty out there and want to show some of your projects or would like to do a post of a how-to project just e-mail me at: little_brendle@hotmail.com

Wish me Luck! I may fall off the wagon come September but I have a good reason! :)

  1. I wish I was crafty. If I see any ideas, I'll let you know. But as for me... I am certainly not.

  2. Here's a cute family gender announcement idea from my friend Cindy...thought you preggo's might enjoy it!!

    It’s A………GIRL!

    Before going to our big appointment where we would find out the sex of the baby, we decided to steal an idea that my friend Melissa had told me about. The plan was to find out the sex of the baby while surrounded by our entire family. We took a card with an envelope to our appointment, with the intent of having the ultrasound tech write the sex of the baby in the card and seal it up for us. We told the ultrasound tech what we were doing, but during the ultrasound she accidentally let the news slip. She apologized profusely.

    That evening we invited several family members over to find out the news. We made a poster with “It’s A……… Boy / Girl” written at the top and made everyone sign their names under which one they thought. Then we had the two grandmothers open the card. When the news was announced, the ones that guessed right were put into a drawing for movie tickets! Then those that guessed wrong were put into another drawing.


    Sounds so cute!!
