Whimsies & Whatnots: December 2011
http://whimsies-whatnots.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 30, 2011. I got quite a few Christmas orders for paintings, so that kept me pretty busy this year. Next year, I will know not to wait ‘til the last minute to get down to work! Santa lost is sense and got Parker an air soft gun. However, I’m fairly certain that Parker likes the fact that he actually owns an air soft gun more than he likes the gun itself. Jack was very happy to add to his nutcracker collection with a vampire and a skeleton. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Whimsies & Whatnots: August 2013
http://whimsies-whatnots.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 12, 2013. I have had several comments asking about the status of my painted countertops. You can read all about them HERE. It's hard to believe that it's been 4 years since I painted them! I have really good news for anyone who is considering doing this. They are GREAT! Several companies now have counter painting kits that you can buy. I think the thing I like best about mine are the shiny finish. I'm not certain that those kits will give you that finish.

Whimsies & Whatnots: Jack’s Angry Bird Bird-day
http://whimsies-whatnots.blogspot.com/2012/02/jacks-angry-bird-bird-day.html
Saturday, February 11, 2012. Jack’s Angry Bird Bird-day. It took a little convincing, but Jack agreed to have an Angry Bird birthday party. (He wants to be like his big brother and have no theme.) I poured through Pinterest and pinned a ton of awesome ideas. I have always used blogs as a source of ideas, but Pinterest has made it so much easier! I pinned this idea and it looks like it was originally on Etsy, but the link is not available anymore.). Our PE classes actually use these pigs! If the volume...

Whimsies & Whatnots: My Christmas Binder
http://whimsies-whatnots.blogspot.com/2011/11/my-christmas-binder.html
Tuesday, November 08, 2011. I already knew about FlyLady. And I tried it, but I couldn’t keep up with her system, but a few years ago I started using her Holiday guide. And it literally changed my Christmas from a panic-fest to a joyful holiday! 160; It’s a pretty simple concept. Just keep your Christmas craziness in a binder! I made a Christmas binder. I just used an ugly old binder that I had laying around. The front pocket has a notepad where I write down lists or things to do. And put it in the bi...

Whimsies & Whatnots: I painted my counters! REALLY!
http://whimsies-whatnots.blogspot.com/2009/04/i-painted-my-counters-really.html
Saturday, April 04, 2009. I painted my counters! In the beginning, there were very ugly yellowish/greenish counters. Not the worst color I've ever seen, but close. However, said counters are in very good shape. No cracks and only a few very small dings. Could I have replaced them with inexpensive stock counters? Yes But then I would have had to had help removing the sink, etc. and I didn't want to wait for that to happen. I can't do sink removal but I sure can paint! Done Well, maybe. I like to look ...

Whimsies & Whatnots: Art Assistance Required
http://whimsies-whatnots.blogspot.com/2013/01/art-assistance-required.html
Tuesday, January 08, 2013. I am the room mom for my 5th graders class. Whew….that’s a lot of pressure! I cut the papers into circles. I did this freehand because I wanted it to be abstract and not perfectly perfect. . And I think the finished product turned out great! 160; Mrs. Bollinger loved it and the kids were so proud! 160; Total cost….hmmm……about $3.00 for the canvas. (Two pack at Hobby Lobby is $7.99 but I used a 40% off coupon.) . Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Whimsies & Whatnots: May 2012
http://whimsies-whatnots.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 22, 2012. Every year the Easter bunny hides eggs in clever places all over the yard and every year, the eggs the boys have the most trouble finding are the ones that are just lying in the grass. They walk by them 5 times before they see them. Pretty funny stuff. Buddy and Parker. Two of a kind. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Michelle M.'s Blog.

Whimsies & Whatnots: Pictures
http://whimsies-whatnots.blogspot.com/2011/11/pictures.html
Saturday, November 12, 2011. Tracy and I took the kids to get pictures taken. It was quite an undertaking—first to find coordinating outfits that didn’t look too overly matchy-matchy and second, to get five kids to cooperate. I took some photos before we left for the session. I actually got some Christmas card worthy shots! 160; These are not the ones that will go on the card, but you get the idea. Gotta love the self-timer! 160; I am so sad that this one is grainy! 160; Why does that always happen!

Recipe for the soup from Kiwigirl Cooking. And it sort of seemed like the universe was trying to tell me to make Chicken Tortilla Soup! These are the ingredients you will need:. I diced two chicken bre...
