There's been a lot of things I've meant to blog about lately. I figured it would be easy to make one big random blog post to showcase them all!
8. When I went back to my Dad's for Christmas, I picked up all my dollhouses for Sydney. One is a smaller plastic Sylvanian Family house and the other is an unfinished wood house. I am so excited to finish it for Sydney. She plays with the plastic one everyday! That makes me happy. I use to play with the Sylvanian Families (now Calico Critters) all the time. I bought Syd this cat family (and babies) which she loves. I have been watching Ebay and Craigslist for more. Of course I have some families from when I use to play with them but I just can't let her play with them yet - they still have emotional value to me! haha. Crazy, I know. I really want to get her the squirrel family. I'll have to post more on the dollhouses with pictures!
7. We went to The Fresh Market today. It's alot like Central Market (for those of you in Texas) but smaller. They have a lot of gourmet foods. That means you buy 5 items for $50! haha. They were super friendly. An employee came up to Sydney and asked if she wanted a cookie - of course she said yes! She took Syd by the hand and went up to the bakery counter and gave her a cookie! That made our day. Then, I saw these gigantic cupcakes for $1.50 each! What a deal. We brought home 3 - no surprise there. The cake was good but the frosting was your typical grocery store frosting. Needless to say, I ate almost all of my cupcake and feel a little ill with all that sugar! I'll nap it off in just a minute. : )
6. This is one of my favorite new projects. I bought a vintage felt magazine awhile back and they had these felt bird cards in it. I re-thought the idea and made Syd some wall art. It's a great way to use up fabric scraps. 
5. I've gotten back to my felt foods. I had (and still kinda have) a huge burn-out of making felt food since I had made so much for Nov & Dec. I did some new designs and have more I need to take pictures of so I can list them. I made brownies, petit fours, a small cake - that's just a few.
4. I can't for the Superbowl tomorrow! But the Steelers and the Cardinals?! Sheesh. I'm going to be routing for the Cardinals but have a feeling the Steelers are going to win.
3. Have you seen Planet Earth on the Discovery Channel? They also have the complete series on DVD. It's absolutely amazing and so fascinating! I'm glued to it whenever it's on. They have the most incredible videos of the most incredible creatures. I don't know how you can't believe in the Creator watching it. Just how everything is so complex and intricately woven together. Amazing, completely amazing! I think I might have to invest in the DVD series, I like it that much! : )
2. More Wall Art: Here's a frame that I made for above our fireplace. I saw it on Martha Stewart Crafts. Here's the link to the directions. Once you enlarge it to the size you would like, it's super easy and cheap. This frame is an 12"x16" frame with an approx 8"x10" opening. I like it because you can make it any color or size you would like.
1. I read the Twilight Series. I thoroughly enjoyed them and devoured each book in about a day. I remember hearing about all the crazed people screaming and passing out for the movie premiere. It always made me wonder what was so great about the books. Now I know, and as much as I liked them I would still never wait screaming for any premiere. I did make Matt take me to the movie though. It was okay - the book much better. So then it got me thinking, are there any movies that are better than the book? If you can think of any please comment, I've been scouring my brain and I just can't think of any.
Okay, I think that does it. I typed all this up real fast so hopefully there isn't too many typos. I really want to go take a nap - that was my motivation. The faster I get done, the more sleep I can get! : ) Have a good weekend and let me know about movies that are better than books. And - thanks for reading all about my ramblings. I appreciate it.

Can't ever think of any movies that are better than the book. They end up leaving so much out...plus you always use your imagination and what movie can ever bet that?
I meant to say beat....sorry!!
Forest Gump the movie was better than the book - trust me. That's the only one I've ever read that was better as a movie. They took the basic idea and made it so much better.
Yeah! I am so glad you finally read the books and that you enjoyed them. I got Tom to read them this fall and he liked them too. I do agree that the movie was not nearly as good as the book and I can not think of a movie I have seen that I enjoyed as much as the book.
Great thoughts! Makes me starting thinking about things!
I love those birds!! Great project.
I agree about Forest Gump. I read the book after watching the movie. Forest is this lovable guy in the movie. In the book he's just an idiot, and everything is so cheesy. I mean, he goes into outer space and is almost eaten by pygmies! (Not at the same time, though).
But that's the only book I can think of that's not as good as the movie.
The felt foods are so cute.
Ok so I was going to make my usual comment: you are so crafty, wish I could think or do anything creative.. blah blah blah (I really do mean this when i say it btw way im mearly prioritizing my comments today) but THEN: I read number one and got SOOOO excited. I read the books TOO! The first three in four days and I actually had to WAIT for the fourth.. torture. I LOVED THEM needless to say and for those that roll their eyes at the books to them I say 'please remeber that they ARE teen fiction" so yes they are supposed to be cheesy! The book totally better than the movie but I did have to see it on opening day even though we were in Vegas when it came out. My friend and I dragged our hubbies with us and they enjoyed it actually. OK.. so Im done I obviously got super excited that you read them! HUGS
Ok. I still want to comment on the bird wall art.. SOOOO CUTE> I tired painting birds like that uh..over a year ago... never ended up on my wall. Tells you how they turned out huh? LOL . awe well guess we cant all be artsy! (wink wink)
