I would really like to build one of these greenhouses for my plants that need more humidity. I love tropical plants, yet where I live gets far too cold to plant them out of doors. During the winter a small heater can be placed inside to keep them from dying. I think it would be great to have one.
Time for planting the flowers
This is my favorite time of the year. I love the green and colors after a dull boring winter. So we are going to start the flowers this weekend. I have already prepped the seeds and the seedlings are ready to go into the ground. This is the kids favorite part, because they are allowed to get dirty and dig with mommy. We really have a great time with this.
I have a couple of bio dome gardens that are just for them to use. One has carnivorous plants like the Venus flytrap. Boys absolutely love that one. There is also a butterfly garden as well, that the girls just adore. Our next door neighbors will join us with their kids and we will do both yards. I can’t wait to see how well it turns out.
The shed
Well we decided to buy a latch clamp for the shed doors instead of the old hasp that we had previously. The hasp just didn’t keep the doors shut as well as we would like. If there were high winds, it would sometimes jiggle loose and the doors would bang around something firce. This should put an end to that problem.
Pretty new colors
I found some pretty new colors for my nail polish collection. I got them really cheap at the dollar store, they were only a buck a piece. This pretty blue-green color has a lot of sparkle to it, it’s called Treasure Island. I really like sparkly nail polish when I do my nails myself. This is what it looks like.
Going over the list
I have been going over the list of people who RSVP’d that they would be attending and I don’t believe we ordered enough wedding favors. There are lot more people accepting then we originally thought would accept. Of the two hundred and sixty invitations sent out, roughly two hundred and fifteen have accepted the invite. This is going to be a really big wedding, much larger then she had previously anticipated. We have been really surprised at how many people are going to fly in for the wedding. She has a large family and apparently so does the groom. I am going to wait out another week and then order more of the supplies that we are short on.
I will have everything taken care of in time for the wedding, of that I have no doubt. We have plenty of time to get everything sorted out. This may be a lot of work, but it is also a lot of fun. I really like planning weddings. I should do this for a living. People who plan weddings for a living, make really good money. I have talked to a few of them about it and it is very competitive as well. One man wouldn’t even talk to me, because he said I was potential competition. I thought that was funny.
Unique Wedding Favors
I found some really Unique wedding favors for my friends wedding. There were little candy jar shaped salt and pepper shakers, little bird cages, a Cinderella carriage candle and so many more that it has become really difficult to choose. Some of them are practical things that can be used over and over. This is really cool because it gives the wedding guest a permanent memory that they can see almost daily. Whether it is a wine bottle stopper, stone coasters, salt and pepper shakers or something else. Every time the guest uses it, they recall the wedding and how much fun they had attending.
A lot of the favors are decorative. There are elegant, whimsical, silly, or just plain cute favors that will always bring a smile to the person who takes this favor home with them. I am really in awe at the genius of some of the favors that I have found. Anything that holds candy, is always a good choice. Everyone likes a sweet, and if you fill them with sugarless sweets, even those who are diabetic can enjoy them. You should always show consideration for people who have diabetes when choosing this particular favor. That way, no one feels left out. It is a good practice anyway.
Keeping My Son From Losing His Things
I really love my child, but my son keeps losing his things. Somehow he managed to misplace his jacket at school, and this was not the first time that he did something like this either. He also managed to lose his shoes. How does a person lose their shoes? The answer to that question still escapes me to this day, and it really does not matter because it happened. What I need to do now is focus on trying to prevent him from losing his things. This is starting to get rather expensive!
I sat down and had a long drawn out talk with my son, but we all know how that goes. I am not even sure if he was listening to me. For some reason, kids seem to have this natural ability to tune their parents out. I don’t remember doing this to my parents, but I think I must have. It must be some kind of built in defense mechanism. Then it dawned on me. I needed to start using name labels for kids. This may not prevent my son from losing his things, but it certainly would make it a lot easier to find the items that he keeps losing.
With a label, I would not need to depend on my son to not lose his things. I could handle every single bit of it myself, and all I needed was something as simple as a label. So now it was up to me to find a label that I could use to label everything that my son owned. I had a plan.
Luckily I did not have to look very far. I found stuck on you and labelcity.com. They had a wide assortment of great labels that I could choose from. Now it was only a matter of getting a bunch of labels and adding the everything that my son owned.
DIY no sew dress
I found this awesome video that is a DIY for making a no sew off the shoulder dress. Not only can you make it yourself, but it costs under five dollars. I am going to start posting DIY videos to help everyone find these neat projects. I am going to buy some material and stuff to make myself this dress for the New Years celebration that is just over a week away. I know that it is going to look amazing. Hope you like this video.
