A Music Curriculum for Less than $13

Create More Monday: The Top Secret Edition


I can't post what I worked on this week, but I assure you that I did work on something. In fact, I worked on a top secret something.

Yes, I finally started using that stack of $50 worth of scrapbooking paper (and that was all on sale!) that I bought back at the end of December of last year to make some gifts for this coming Christmas. But, considering that some of the people who will be on the receiving end may read this, I just can't share any pictures.

But, in true "Create More Monday" spirit, I barely even used the computer at all yesterday. I spent all day with my Mom and one of my sisters, as well as having my sister-in-law stop by for part of the day. We worked on scrapbooking projects, as well as enjoyed time together. What a perfect day!

Now, if I can just finish these Christmas gifts before Christmas, it will be even better!

Are you making anything special for Christmas this year? Have you started yet? Did you work on any projects this week?

Create More Monday -- Coming Soon...


I have been away from the computer all day long, so I'm going to post about my Create More Monday later in the day on Monday. If you want to join in, you can too (here are the guidelines).

Believe it or not, I spent the whole day actually creating! I'll share more about it later.

Life is Like a Video Game



Jack and Molly were talking in the living room the other day about Heaven, after having finished some video game time on the Wii. Jack took it upon himself to share his insights with her about Heaven.

"Life is like a video game. On the first level, you can die. But, on the second level, you never die. It just goes on forever."
