Earring Holder

Earring Holder

Just attach a strip of burlap to the wall (I used two staples to hang it), hang/pierce your earrings through it, and there you have it -- a quick, cute earring holder!

Mission Trip May 2012

     I haven't posted anything in over three weeks! But, I have a very good reason! I was privileged to go with a mission team to France for a week (May 14-21), and work with two international Baptist churches there! I met amazing people from all over – France (of course), the US, England, Scotland, Ireland, Norway, Nigeria, the Ukraine, Serbia, and Romania!

     We did several events that were open to the community – a ladies dessert fellowship, a get together on the beach with a Bible lesson and singing, we showed the movie Courageous (which I HIGHLY recommend) at both churches – complete with popcorn and sodas. Our team also taught the Sunday school classes and our leader preached at both churches (one has a morning service, the other has an evening service).

     God was so gracious to give us such a wonderful trip, and allow us to be part of the work He is doing across the Atlantic.

     I'll post something for the magazine soon!

Food Color Folds

Food Color Folds

Fold a piece of paper in half, then unfold it.
Drizzle and drip glue on one inside half of the paper.
Drip drops of food coloring on portions of the glue.
Immediately fold the paper in half again and lightly smooth it while folded.
Unfold the paper and see what you can find in the picture you have made.
The one here looks like a frog with really big feet and wings to me. What do you see?

Rubber Band Ball

Rubber Band Ball

Cut 1-1/2" strips of fabric.

Tie the ends together.
Begin wrapping them into a ball.
Secure the wrappings with rubber bands.
Continue to add rubber bands going different directions.
The tighter you wrap the fabric, and the more rubber bands you put on, the harder the ball will become.

You can use it for backyard baseball, catch, or a game of bounce and go seek.

Ultimate Lemonade

Ultimate Lemonade

Ingredients:

1 1/2 c. Sugar
3 c. Water
1 1/4 c. Lemon juice

5 c. Ice cubes

Mix the sugar, water, and lemon juice together until the sugar is dissolved.

In a blender, puree 1c. of the above mixture to every 1c. of ice cubes until desired ice chip size is reached.

Pour up what you blend. Blend more as needed, this way the ice chips don't melt while waiting for someone to drink them.

Serves 5. Optional: Try adding a few cubes of watermelon during the blending phase.

Warning: This drink is filled with pure awesomeness; lemons are very acidic and there is also a lot of sugar in here! Therefore, some tummies may enjoy this more than others, so don't drink too much until you are sure how this beverage will affect you. To mellow it a little, try blending in the optional watermelon and maybe a little more ice – or even water.
