$5 Friday

$5 Friday…Yard Ghosts

This week for $5 Friday I made our annual yard ghosts for Halloween. Here's how:#1. Get a wire hanger and stretch it out. (Your hook should still be in tact at the top but now the body of the hanger is tall and skinny with a point at the end to stick into the ground.)#2. Wrap some used grocery bags around the hook of the hanger. (This will make the head.)#3. Cover the head and body with a white garbage sack. #4. Tie a ribbon around the neck.#5.

Facet No. 3 Some Are Almosters

The chapter title for the current and upcoming week of my experiment is entitled "SOME ARE ALMOSTERS". Unfortunately, try as I might, I've been the poster child for the almosters this week. Here's a sample of what Ms. Hoole defines as an "Almoster":"...They just don't quite make it...Their intentions are good...They spend lots of time and energy, but they don't quite reach their goals, they don't quite get the job done...This results in frustrations, wear and tear on the nerves....."ect. etc. ...

I love the Frankenstein head with fruit roll ups and mini M&Ms......he's my new favorite.  I think the original idea came from a Betty Crocker website and cookbook (that's where I got the idea from) but this picture came from here. Here's how we make them. 1.  Make up your favorite brownie recipe.  Mine is my ... View the Post

Facet No. 2 Ambition: Progress Report

So, for these past two weeks I've been working on my ambitiousness. (Is that even a word?) And I've gotten a lot done. (Cleaned out van, cleaned out closets, cleaned out storage room ,etc.)But the main thing that I'll be carrying away from the experiment with this facet is "do it now".I am the queen of putting off tasks until they are completely unreasonable or an emergency but while I've been working on ambition I have been trying to do whatever needs to be done as soon as I see the ...
