๐Ÿš๏ธ TWO YEAR Anniversary at Century Farms ๐Ÿก -- Video Premiere Chat with Me!

Hello Reader, How are you doing? Guess what?! I just learned about YouTube Premieres. Don't you enjoy learning new things? It works like this. I've set the video about our 2 Year Anniversary to "Premiere" tomorrow (Wednesday) at 1 p.m. EST. And when it goes live, we will have a Watch Party and be able to talk in the Comments together! Doesn't that sound fun??? I'm really looking forward to it as this is the first time I've done something like this. I hope to "see" you there tomorrow! (To make...

Hello Reader, I hope you've had a good start to your New Year, and that whatever colds or germs have been plaguing you have gone away!Sometimes I write a new post and forget to send it to you.... That happened just before Christmas! You see, I was busy working on our 1st floor bathroom, and cleaning and organizing for our 2nd year anniversary at Century Farms! I was also cleaning for company that was coming. Then it rained and was flooding into the basement, and that started a series of...

Hello Reader, Is Christmas sneaking up on you? Or maybe there's someone that you just haven't decided what to get them yet? I have an idea for you! I just found out about Christian Craft Paper company. They have a couple different monthly clubs you can join-- and one is a napkin club!! Wow! [These are extra special napkins that they have printed just for them.] So for the gift idea-- you can send a crafty person a subscription to either the napkin club or the project club (which includes the...

Hello Reader, I was wondering if you decorate for Christmas the Friday after Thanksgiving? [That's when I would normally decorate if I didn't need to do it ahead of time to get ready to share with you!] Well, we still have lots of decorations to get out so that is probably what we will do Friday and maybe Saturday, too. In between working on our bathroom remodel, that is.... So if you need some inspiration for your after-Thanksgiving-decorating-- I have some for you! A few friends and I got...

Hello Reader, I know it might seem too early for Christmas posts, but in order for you to implement any of these great ideas-- I need to send them to you now! So you can decide if you want to use them or not.....So I just realized---- there really is not anything Christmas-y about this centerpiece!!! You really could use it for any occasion! It just so happens that it is in the colors that go with my Christmas theme this year-- Pink Blush and Gold. I am not usually a pink kind of girl, so......

Hello Reader, As a blogger I'm always looking for ways to share my great ideas with people who need them. One of the ways I do that is with a DIY site called Hometalk. I'm a part of 2 of their programs-- including being a Brand Ambassador! Hometalk has shared a lot of my posts with their readers through their other program. What you may not know about Hometalk, is that it is based in Israel. Many of their employees have been affected by the recent war. I checked on them and asked how we could...

Hello Reader, I hope you had a good summer! It got so humid here that my laptop died. I want to write a post about how I revived it. I had the idea to put it in a giant ziplock bag of rice-- you know, like you can try if you drop your cell phone in water, to dry it out? Well, after 24 hours my laptop did not turn back on. After 36 hours it would not turn back on. But after 48 hours it turned back on!!! I was thrilled!! Now I keep a good eye on the humidity, and store my laptop turned off in a...

Hello Reader, It's been awhile since I updated you on what's happening behind the scenes! How have you been doing? I hope you had a good summer! Our family went on a 4,000 mile roadtrip and saw the South Dakota Badlands, Mount Rushmore, and a bunch of other things. It was a great trip, and I got alot of good pictures. Projects Some of my upcoming projects include a Cattail Wreath and Peanut Butter Molten Lava Cookies. I want to do more Cricut projects, too. I am looking for a new printer-- so...
