Y'all remember last week when I shared a quick tutorial on making magnets (here). The first time around I used some scrapbook paper I had handy. Today I am going to share two different ideas using the same process. The Hunger Games has been all the rage. I read the whole series before I even knew it was becoming a movie and fell in love. The series seems to be catching on everywhere and has even become required reading in some schools. Not only did I whip up these magnets, but I included a ...

DIY Magnets
I bought a package of those clear marble rocks when they were on sale at Michael's for $1 a while back now. All along I intended on making magnets, it just took me until now to get around to it.

Then you take your green construction paper. These will be the stems. You can fold the paper either way. You will have to decide if you want short stems ...
Blessed
Holidays are like a time out; a big, giant pause from the day-to-day grind. A time for family, a time to count your blessings, enjoy your loved ones and make great memories. As I have grown older, my family has grown. My husband's family has become my family. Our brothers and sisters have gotten married. We have had children and now we have nieces and nephews. The bigger we get, the more fun we have. We celebrated Easter three times over the weekend. We celebrated Saturday ...
