Anyone who knows me, knows that I love to do crafts!  Kaylie came home the other day with her list of things she needed for her Valentine’s day party.  This year, they are having a contest for the best card box.  Kaylie was anxious to get started.  Instead of doing the usual “shoe box” type box…we decided to do something a little different.  We took a cereal box and cut off about 1/2 (box is 6 inches tall).  We then took scrapbook paper and mod podged both the inside and out.  We then went through my scrapbooking supplies to see what we could find to embellish it. 

In doing this project, I realized how much I missed having my craft room!  It was such a pain to dig things out of the closet to find what I was looking for.  Having things spread out about the house also makes for a frustrating task.  One day soon, I hope to have the space to take it over once and for all!  For right now….I’ll just have to make do!

I’m trying to capture memories I want to embrace.  While sitting here thinking of something I wanted to remember, I realized I hadn’t gotten a picture of Jon’s catfish.  This fish was brought home last summer when he was found in the bucket of minnows one day.  This is the 2nd one that has made it into our home.   Jon does a great job caring for it and when it gets bigger, he will release it back into a pond.  In the meantime, it’s fun to watch him grow.
