Craft, Create, Celebrate Life
My try at making a few shape cards the links to these awesome tutorials at the end of this post. I made these during a recent snow storm and the only paper I had at home was white, pink and red. I got resourceful with what I had hahaha. I was trying to find a squirrel to make for a friend but couldn’t find one.

Not sure if anyone else may see this as yummi but at our home we do, so I thought I would share with you.
I fry two eggs place them on the side. then I heat up turkey dogs with brown rice and place those together. I like to eat mine all mixed together but my son like them separate. It not the most healthy meal but it is so good, so we have it sporadically.
If you try it let me know what you thought and how it tasted to you in the comment section. Do you have a food combination that is favored in your home?
On February 4 I signed up for Adopt A US Soldier. I was talking to my husband about my 52 letters 52 weeks and he suggested I look up how to help a soldier by writing to them or care packages. Something like this had been on my mind since watching Oprah’s show about soldiers and their lives. I thought to myself ” I don’t know a soldier or a family personally. I might indirectly through someone at church but not personally. I thought about it and thought and finally found this great forum Adopt A US Soldier.
At first I got one soldier, she is a female but I didn’t and still don’t know much about her. I have consistently written her e-mails and just his week sent her a letter. I do pray it makes it to her and that in a small way brings a smile to her face.
Then I got an email letting me know that if I was up to it I could adopt a second soldier. So I thought about it and requested a second soldier. This time got a male soldier who I know a few things about from his comments. Not much but a bit more than the first female soldier. I sent him a letter this week as too.
Here just the other day I got another email letting me know that a bunch of soldiers had just signed up for support and if I was able to I could adopt a 3rd soldier. I thought about this one for a little bit as well and sent the reply. I was up to supporting a 3rd soldier.
This third soldier is a female and I know from her info she like coffee and a few other odds and ends. I will be writing her a letter this week, and I am really looking forward to sitting down with pen and paper in hand.
These letter I suppose I could be counting toward my 52 letter 52 weeks, but I am not. I am wanting to send these now not wait for the weekly writing.
As I get to know these deployed soldiers I will also be sending out care packages, as I feel so lucky to have them serve our country.

Hooray! my little money pot has $60.00 in it, I am very happy that it is adding up. Little by little goes a long way, I need to make a container to put it in till it goes to the bank.
Any ideas on what I can do? I have to brain storm and see what I can come up with.
