Pinterest Projects

I love Pinterest.  I love marking things and knowing I'll be able to find them easily when I'm ready to try out a project or recipe.  Here are some of my favorite Pinterest projects.

A splash guard for my KitchenAid made from the lid of an ice cream bucket.  It works beautifully and seals to the edge of my mixing bowl.

Race for a quarter game to sharpen our skills with money and making change.

A super cute birthday gift for my nephew.

A bag for my sister to hold her phone and I-pod while she walks.

Potholders for my mother-in-law.  Two of my sisters and two of my sister-in-laws have sets of these as well.  I even made myself two sets.

Operation Christmas Child 2010

We were blessed to host an Operation Christmas Child shoe box party again this year.  With having our house listed for sale, I found myself, perhaps counterproductively, praying that there would be no showings on Wednesday or Thursday.   The children and I set up tables and sorted through items on Wednesday then hosted our friends for a box stuffing extravaganza on Thursday evening.  Here are some of the highlights from the preparation, event and drop off.

We packed 66 shoe boxes this year.  God has blessed us in so many ways.  Hosting this event and giving a small portion of what we've been given is the beginning of our holiday season.
