<br />
<br />
So far so good, I even got ahead of myself!<br />
<div>
I didn't think to take progress pictures of everything leaving the house...but I will try to from now on.</div>
<div>
Over the course of the last 9 days in the challenge.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1) I have cleared out small and winter dresses from my girls' closet- some went into storage and some donated.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic9y9tlwjZkIb3ffiV3RFZquOXihJnJqdacmyutKFW6D_pPd0lmRAM2Q1iBssV2ngUHlMjx7DGko_Z9XNxWKvaUZ3FyB_Vc1grHFn6kkFaDHlrYslgnswMLZpckNE_33QrndLpktopONE/s640/blogger-image-1454670231.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic9y9tlwjZkIb3ffiV3RFZquOXihJnJqdacmyutKFW6D_pPd0lmRAM2Q1iBssV2ngUHlMjx7DGko_Z9XNxWKvaUZ3FyB_Vc1grHFn6kkFaDHlrYslgnswMLZpckNE_33QrndLpktopONE/s640/blogger-image-1454670231.jpg" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2-3) sorted through old and current baby/toddler toys and equipment - a huge pile went to our church's new satelite location, and some broken items were pitched.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4) finished cleaning up and sorting out my son's closet. We pitched, donated, and packed up a few mementoes to be saved.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
5) I worked through the existing piles in the basement for donation, garbage, and storage ( mainly clothes for my youngest)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
6) went through toys that were stored and decided on what really needed to be kept for sentimental purposes.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
7-8) computer files and photos were condensed, trashed, and re organized</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
9) today's task was kids school papers, which were overflowing and piling up in various spots.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I pulled them all out and put in one spot</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then sorted through to a keep pile and a recycle pile. The keep pile will definitely get another once through before the end of the year.</div>

<br /></div>
It has been awhile since I have been able to post and keep up with weekly blog/pinterst ideas. I'm sure this llllooooooonnnnnggggg Winter that has been plaguing us all has something to do with it.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thankfully the other day I saw several of friends posting links to the 40 bags in 40 days Challange.</div>
<div>
I'm IN!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What a better way to flush out junk, misc stuff, old files, movies, toys, clothes, etc. Anything is game!</div>
<div>
Plus hopefully at the end of those 40 days, SPRING will finally be here.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You can check out more information about the woman behind this crazy but great idea in several places</div>

You can even print out a handy chart to organize and see your success. Here is a picture of my proposed schedule:</div>

<div>
I left the last 4 days blank in hopes these days will be used for outside stuff or for other areas I determine later.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I took some pre pictures as well of a few of my targeted areas or sore spots</div>

I especially like the simple realistic decorating magazines with LOTS of pictures. If you are Nything like me, I will tear out pages of pictures, recipes, etc that I want to save and reference later. </div><div><br></div><div>One super simple way of doing this is using Pinterest. What's Pinterest? I like to describe it as an electronic bottomless magazine basket.</div><div><br></div><div>This morning while I sipped my coffee I went through the pile and tore out several pages:</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0iw7o68nTY1J7rchwEpKFwkmTi6Krm_rCmVunduB00-2Fubn2BizqVhoBQn-BbofKi95pkv0rsfEGgxDXdAvYktoBq_mcsXKYE4YGBD3GsYjZrsmGkBMuoNWWB-0u44kIDApEL1yUvN8/s640/blogger-image-8145876.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0iw7o68nTY1J7rchwEpKFwkmTi6Krm_rCmVunduB00-2Fubn2BizqVhoBQn-BbofKi95pkv0rsfEGgxDXdAvYktoBq_mcsXKYE4YGBD3GsYjZrsmGkBMuoNWWB-0u44kIDApEL1yUvN8/s640/blogger-image-8145876.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>From there I used my iPad camera app and took individual pictures of the items I liked and pinned them to various boards I have on my Pinterest page.

This would be a neat and not that hard to make with a board,chalkboard paint and permanent marker...so we'll see if I do this later in the year ;-)</div><div><br></div><div>From looking through the magazines, tearing pages and uploading to Pinterest, it took maybe 1/2 hour.</div><div><br></div><div>Alternative idea:</div><div>So what if you don't have a Pinterest account or have no interest? Or you don't have a convienent way upload photos to an idevice or computer.</div><div><br></div><div>Pick up or reuse a 3 ring binder and buy sheet protectors from the dollar store. As you tear your magazine pages to reference later you can slide them into the page protectors ( even several pages). </div><div><br></div><div>Have fun organizing this new year!</div><div>Thanks for reading Julie </div><div><br></div><div><br></div>Julie (Scrappie)http://www.blogger.com/profile/09680734006707720198noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6098858382095442913.post-4090862822992768992013-10-22T10:39:00.001-05:002013-10-22T10:39:48.519-05:00MAGIC Monday ( a day late): Mummy LightsToday's Magic Monday craft is so easy and fun you could even do with your kids!<div><br></div><div>Lets's dress up some empty canning jars Halloween style!</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7mylLWOT4_EMzPJihHxtyBUFrRMPDKTTyqZJTMGTId-D32Ef-PW1-LKBqQ7gyNXooLkYSl6vsaY5lWSy86_zmLt_sNAoyEucBtWl-Dq7DfbtbtmKUKYUzFM2t-cgxxp2Z0nGGucYuJQ0/s640/blogger-image-240212865.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7mylLWOT4_EMzPJihHxtyBUFrRMPDKTTyqZJTMGTId-D32Ef-PW1-LKBqQ7gyNXooLkYSl6vsaY5lWSy86_zmLt_sNAoyEucBtWl-Dq7DfbtbtmKUKYUzFM2t-cgxxp2Z0nGGucYuJQ0/s640/blogger-image-240212865.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Supplies you'll need:</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRsi9dTLXLIn3aQ9dBIHElR5CWSvTmXk-ufrdim10yW6csNi2Syg9t9jU_Jk0EJjI86cLVbhixw1tlFLx74B4qyipUJkS0_vqBWrYEQ0ywM30oXpkweeen_hxDGEy5EKtpy351hQ_JRKE/s640/blogger-image--2135357378.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRsi9dTLXLIn3aQ9dBIHElR5CWSvTmXk-ufrdim10yW6csNi2Syg9t9jU_Jk0EJjI86cLVbhixw1tlFLx74B4qyipUJkS0_vqBWrYEQ0ywM30oXpkweeen_hxDGEy5EKtpy351hQ_JRKE/s640/blogger-image--2135357378.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>Empty canning jars, various sizes</div><div>Battery operated tea lights</div><div>Googling eyes ( could use different sizes or colors too)</div><div>A box of gauze bandage roll.

<br />
From photos to souvenirs, sand and match books, to plane tickets and more... Let's take a look at a few clever, creative and easy ways to do so.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Vacation Boxes</span><br />
<br />
not a scrapper, no problem! You're bound to come home from any trip with brochures, ticket stubs, foreign money, pressed pennies, and other little flat items. Instead of tossing everything or putting in a zip-lock bag in a box in your closet, why not showcase those items.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
the supplies needed for this simple project can be found at your local craft store. I bought several craft boxes, which I inked the edges with stamping ink and then used letter stamps to add the labels.<br />
<br />
Inside I placed various items:<br />

An easy and nice way to showcase your vacations is through a wall of photos. Whether you do a collage or have a growing collection of photos taken from various trips to the same or different places. It has wonderful visual appeal and makes for a fun conversation starter.</div>

This collection is in my Aunt's home. She showcases a single landscape or focal point that represents trips and places her family has been and lived. She keeps the wall appealing by using matted black and white photos in similar frames.</div>

<br />
Today these blank walls needed some fixing<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Quite awhile back when we rearranged some furniture around in our family room/kitchen space, my husband had planned to make some custom shelving to fit in this nook around the desk. Unfortunately life happens (flood) and the walls have just remained a blank canvas.<br />
<br />
I bought a hanging pocket organizer for my children to drop school mail in for me to look at. It was just lonely hanging there. So I was inspired by the fact, I have plenty of blank frames and tons of art work from my own little Picasos and Reniors, why not showcase some of that!<br />
<br />
I picked out some frames and artwork, plus a few other pieces that currently were not hung up anywhere<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2aAo2eLNTew/UiojOHn1A2I/AAAAAAAAH-s/dLIe3I-pNKY/s1600/DSCN8503.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2aAo2eLNTew/UiojOHn1A2I/AAAAAAAAH-s/dLIe3I-pNKY/s320/DSCN8503.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
this is where the fix-it-Friday comes into play. How do you get all of that on those blank walls with out having six sets of hands to hold each piece up?<br />
<br />
Masking tape is your answer!<br />
<br />
I taped off the edges of each frame<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fVW6dlvNgUA/UiojPZGwpkI/AAAAAAAAH-0/QksOV0haIRM/s1600/DSCN8504.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fVW6dlvNgUA/UiojPZGwpkI/AAAAAAAAH-0/QksOV0haIRM/s320/DSCN8504.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
to make an outline and then began placing these tape frames on the wall<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxdofwp1BaFCzH1O8Xhahty56qd8CQS1OnvhdE-fq3-1e3in_ysiWt-bQpLfxEYsxXilJz4z7cBhpFNQLZRZDNaYVlBAlO99gR29WbTExyMBdt1j6awdiBzXnXAHHvL6mswy-XT-dUAN0/s1600/DSCN8506.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxdofwp1BaFCzH1O8Xhahty56qd8CQS1OnvhdE-fq3-1e3in_ysiWt-bQpLfxEYsxXilJz4z7cBhpFNQLZRZDNaYVlBAlO99gR29WbTExyMBdt1j6awdiBzXnXAHHvL6mswy-XT-dUAN0/s320/DSCN8506.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now I could see how each frame would fit<br />
<br />
next was hanging each piece up. For another masking tape trick, I marked from the top of the frame to wear the nail would need to be:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
placed the marked piece of tape on the wall and hammer in the nail<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MeuephFsG60/UiojSseFUyI/AAAAAAAAH_M/hinUQp-YSCQ/s1600/DSCN8509.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MeuephFsG60/UiojSseFUyI/AAAAAAAAH_M/hinUQp-YSCQ/s320/DSCN8509.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>

<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">leave on the camera memory card</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">upload to your computer...for no one to see</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">print them at Target and keep in an envelope</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">share on Face Book</span></li>
</ol>
<br />
OR how about <span style="font-size: large;">PRESERVE those Memories!</span> You don't need to be an avid Scrapbooker or Computer Whiz to be able to preserve and showcase your photos. Here are some fun, simple and unique ways to do just that.<br />
<br />
<strong>First,</strong> get the photos off the camera and onto your computer. I love using <strong>Google's Picasa</strong>. It a free program you can download to your computer to store, edit, print and more.<br />
<br />
<strong>Second</strong>, look through them. I mean spend some time and pick out those favorite shots of your daughter in the pool, or your Mom riding horseback, etc...you know the shots. You don't NEED to scrap or print EVERY picture you took, that's just took much work.<br />
<br />
<strong>Third</strong>, once you have your top selection of photo memories figured out, its time to do something with them. here are some ideas I have done.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">mini "one picture" books</span><br />
<br />
These are my favorite little timeline books, you can do this from annual vacation getaways to school pictures or birthdays, the possibilities are endless!<br />

Maybe you have a lot of favorite photos, so using the collage maker through Picasa you can put them all together in one "big" picture. Add into to a piece of scrapbooking paper or card stock and then you can frame it and display or create a special album of all these great collages.</div>

The picture of the album below is similar but was made using a digital photo maker through Disney's PhotoPass website. These type of albums are so quick and easy to do now. For the Traditional sites, you can just upload your selected photos, pick your theme and let "it" create the book for you. My Mother does this all the time.</div>

Although I have not personally done these, I've heard it is quite easy and fun and you can purchase themed packs (including Disney) to make the pages even more unique. The pictures below were made by a fellow Disney Fan Erica B.</div>

The <strong>top photo</strong> is an example of a souvenir collage. You know all that stuff you pick up along the way, now you slap it down on a piece of paper and add it to your photo album.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The <strong>second two</strong> just showcase simple to a little more flair of the use of simple embellishments, clever title letters and basic photo layouts is really all you need.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The <strong>last photo</strong> shows a great way to close an album. This layout is the closing page to a Myrtle Beach Family vacation we took back in 2003 with my parents and sister's family. I had each person write down their favorite memories on some purchased postcards and attached them in the book.</div>

Or dairy, eggs..."Here is a special post that I wrote and shared on <a href="http://glutenfreedairyfreewdw.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">gluten free dairy free wdw.BlogSpot</a><br />
ENJOY!<br />
<br />
<br />
Going out to eat on vacation is certainly a highlight for most people. However for my daughter Naomi-Ruth (6) it can be a bit confusing and scary. You see since birth she has endured food allergies and tolerances to gluten, wheat, dairy, eggs, red food dye, and most recently life-threating reaction to peanuts and tree nuts. Needless to say, dining out for her requires a lot of planning and knowledge.<br />
<br />
It does seem more and more that local restaurants have gluten or dairy free options, and many places will let you look at the ingredient listings. Just going to Mc Donald's is a small feat, but imagine being away from home on vacation for over a week?<br />
<br />
This is one reason why my family continually travels to Walt Disney World in Florida. This place gets it and caters to children and adults like my daughter with such ease and knowledge it can be a little less stressful figuring out what she can eat while we are there.<br />
<br />
Just recently we went to Walt Disney World in June for a week. Before we went, I checked menu lists on <a href="http://allears.net/menu/menus.htm" target="_blank">allears- dining menus</a> and checked the allergy reference lists from <a href="http://glutenfreedairyfreewdw.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_10.html" target="_blank">glutenfreedairyfreewdw.blogspot reference sheets</a><br />
<br />
I made lists of brands that I knew she could have and jotted down items that we could order off the straight menu or would need to get specially prepared. In an attempt to help another guest who may be curious about how to order and what are the options but not to overwhelm you with EVERYTHING...below is a small reviewin my daughters perspective, with descriptions from myself and pictures too.<br />

<strong>So how does one go about ordering a special allergy free meal at a Table Service Restaurant at Disney? </strong>The first thing to do is <u>INFORM</u>. You can either note the allergy needs online or over the phone when you make your dining reservation and/or inform your server upon being seated. Next step <u>EXPLAIN</u> (in detail) before you order your meal, either the head chef or manager of the restaurant will come to your table and go over what food items the person in need CAN NOT have. They will describe what offerings they do have and you can decide on a meal together. Sometimes it is a completely custom made meal or a version of an item on the existing menu.<br />
<br />
At <strong>Via Napoli in Epcot</strong>, we were able to get pasta that was gluten, dairy and egg free, sauce on the side, diced plain chicken, and her own rolls made with tapioca.<br />
<br />
As you can see in the picture above the portions were quite generous and my daughter was beyond delighted.<br />

This dessert was presented to her at <strong>O'Hana in the Polynesian resort</strong> after our dinner there. It was a huge scoop of dairy free ice cream ( they had chocolate or vanilla) and two Enjoy Life chocolate brownie cookies, plus special chocolate sauce. I was quite impressed.<br />

<br />
<br />
On our first day, we had lunch at <strong>Contempo Café inside the Contemporary resort</strong>. At this Counter/Quick Service location there are ordering kiosiks, where the guest handles the ordering process themselves. Typically at at Counter Service when you need a special order item, the guest needs to speak with the <strong>manager first</strong>, in which you would <u>INFORM</u> your order taker. At this place you can go up to the pick up window and let them know. Sometimes this process can take awhile, depending on how busy the restaurant is. Luckily for us, the manager was right there. We<u> INFORMED </u>and<u> EXPLAINED </u>to<u> </u>the manager we'd like to order a hamburger NO bun unless they could accomadate Naomi-Ruth's allergies. And as you can see in the picture above they could. Her order took no longer than the rest of our food.<br />
<br />
Another quick service example I had in ordering for her was in <strong>Epcot at the Liberty Inn</strong>. Our family had started out late that day and decided to eat in the park unplanned, not a bad idea but tricky for Naomi-Ruth. I asked her what she wanted to eat and I'd try and find it. She said she really wanted a hot dog. I used my iphone and quickly brought up the menu list via allears again. I saw they had hotdogs with toppings on the adult menu, so I kept my fingers crossed and headed over there, while the rest of the family was eating in France.<br />
<br />
Luck was on my side as the ordering lines were short and I asked to speak to a manager to order an allergy free meal. I told the cast member what I was looking for "a hot dog meal" and what the allergies were. She basically put together a custom order for me of a plain hotdog, tapioca hamburger bun (since they didn't have gluten, diary AND egg free hotdog ones...and I knew Naomi-Ruth wouldn't mind) plus some sides, which included fries in a dedicated fryer. I probably waited less than 10 minutes for my order to be up, which resulted in one happy girl.<br />
<br />
her response: <br />
<br />
<div align="center">
<em>this is a weird hotdog bun, but I like it, thank you Mommy I love you</em></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
In the end, we had no complications with ordering for her, with a little pre planning and know how, you can do this too. Naomi-Ruth's next Walt Disney World trip is coming up very soon in September and we are already making her food wish list. Oh and she did get those Mickey waffles, a special plate of her own was delivered to our table by the head chef at <strong>Chef Mickey's in the Contemporary Resort </strong>(please note Mickey didn't actually bring the waffles)</div>

I have two NEW Freshman in High School and a new 5th and 1st graders. I think (most of us) were ready to get back to school! With busy home and activity schedules, plus myself back to work in our home. I wanted to make sure we <em>really </em>were ready to get back into this season.<br />
<br />
I began probably well over a month before school began and hit Target to start the back to school shopping, new pencils, glue sticks, markers, gym shoes, etc...As well I began some in home organizing and going through current supplies and items that are used for school and studying.<br />
<br />
I began with organizing the shared computer/work space for the children. We have one main computer, desk and a storage unit to keep items organized. <br />

I went through the clutter and tossed broken pens, pencils, garbage, old papers, etc and made sure we began neat and tidy! I'm not in the idea it will stay this neat all year, but starting out well organized gives you a great head start!<br />

I had fun making new labels for everything, which has always been a plan and let's face it how many times can you answer:<br />

The cube unit above contains most of the usual needs: loose leaf paper, notebooks, file holders to store papers, resource materials, etc. As well I have a cloth bin full of markers, crayons, and colored pencils, plus a bin full of quiet/busy activities for my youngest who doesn't have as much homework as the older children. This helps her stay busy and feel important too.<br />

We can't expect FOUR children to share a single workspace so at the beginning of the year we pre select homework stations for each child, one likes her room, another in the dining room, etc. I have little cups and bins (sorry no picture) that have basic supplies like pencils, erasers, crayons, in it for them to grab and take to their study space.<br />
<br />
Once I get a feel for what work they will be having on a regular basis I write out "Are you Homework Ready?" chart/list. An example is<br />

I have created my own sheets and used various ones I have found online. Simple pictures and check off charts really can help and keeps you (Mom or Dad) from needing to keep rattling off the " get ready list"<br />
<br />
Packing Lunches can be a dreadful and tedious task...but with some simple guides, it can be doable. I am of the mindset to let your kids do the packing but with example. I printed a neat Step by Step chart to help them out and put it on the fridge:<br />

I also cleared an area and labeled it specifically for the lunch boxes/bags. The kids with help as needed prep their lunches the afternoon/night before.<br />
<br />
The last minute shoes, coats, backpacks seems to take the longest. I seem to hear almost every morning<br />
<br />
<div align="center">

<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">"where are my shoes?"</span></div>

To help un-complicate this task, I have designated a shoe spot for each of my four children and of course added a cute label:</div>

Not pictured are the new designated bag hooks. During the school week they have hooks easily accessible outside the main hall closet, then they can store the school bags out of site as needed in the closet on the weekends or breaks. My son likes to keep his in the closet though at all times.<br />
<br />
The hooks are under their school pictures in the main hallway! (I'm planning on making new crafty hooks which I will share another time)<br />

It has been awhile since I had an opportunity to post here in the last few months, due to the busy end of school year days, summer time oh and a flood that put my Scrapbook/Craft room in disarray<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Nerveless, I have begun crafting again and am happy to share here as well. A few months back I shared a Walt Disney Map Project: <a href="http://juliesmickeymemories.blogspot.com/2013/03/special-disney-craft.html" target="_blank">special Disney craft: Mosaic Map Art</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I dug into the stash of maps and decided to work on a project I have been to try for quite some time. After digging through some bins of all my stored craft items I found the old coasters, and got to work.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>step 1)</strong> I cut a large enough piece of a map that I could fold around the coaster</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3IIeLtroE59Gvm4z3qgcuXQsC9A7fyE8KU3qIQn5RRLB55u6FKyVLP8AxHqlPj23R8CcTap6Z3H9Ccp10Tp_Kaed0n4B7lcUB6pBz3f6qKqOlPM-NtiVL3hODKjvozCe586itH7D6pmk/s1600/DSCN7953.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3IIeLtroE59Gvm4z3qgcuXQsC9A7fyE8KU3qIQn5RRLB55u6FKyVLP8AxHqlPj23R8CcTap6Z3H9Ccp10Tp_Kaed0n4B7lcUB6pBz3f6qKqOlPM-NtiVL3hODKjvozCe586itH7D6pmk/s320/DSCN7953.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>2)</strong> I used this very STICKY thick glue and smeared a good layer on the top of the coaster</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6zY2cPhgU_e9D97S2CkOVP-KaIKtMd3L0uCr6evxJU8_5FyXlaLQkyixElPVJ1OocEZLsnxE9V9Zz-ZIbbstAk2-Lo9Raf83GAckR99KgzfaNgMLKiD9JPK1wzLs122ll4mCsZM7wkPY/s1600/DSCN7954.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6zY2cPhgU_e9D97S2CkOVP-KaIKtMd3L0uCr6evxJU8_5FyXlaLQkyixElPVJ1OocEZLsnxE9V9Zz-ZIbbstAk2-Lo9Raf83GAckR99KgzfaNgMLKiD9JPK1wzLs122ll4mCsZM7wkPY/s320/DSCN7954.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>3)</strong> I placed the coaster onto the paper pressed firmly to remove bubbles and then applied a layer of glue to the back</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrTQFZr3YjR-AJA7RPuhaIfXsm4kPL6YwKIlPMebRGPEzMH5j3imBbNmeUufGrFBhnBX9CXn1JYF8-qnz8dWx4Hxtow1Nh86r8maszmms-hSn55HgSTwD1oOGKvIdk792td-7Xv_VULlo/s1600/DSCN7955.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrTQFZr3YjR-AJA7RPuhaIfXsm4kPL6YwKIlPMebRGPEzMH5j3imBbNmeUufGrFBhnBX9CXn1JYF8-qnz8dWx4Hxtow1Nh86r8maszmms-hSn55HgSTwD1oOGKvIdk792td-7Xv_VULlo/s320/DSCN7955.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>4)</strong> after cutting diagonal slits in the corners of the map I began to fold in the edges</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CosOKYDVhu8/UfbIG3Fb9qI/AAAAAAAAGnM/rGACLZiw8bY/s1600/DSCN7957.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CosOKYDVhu8/UfbIG3Fb9qI/AAAAAAAAGnM/rGACLZiw8bY/s320/DSCN7957.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VKz3iSdek6I/UfbIIp4wwLI/AAAAAAAAGnU/HZI0EjxFFcs/s1600/DSCN7958.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VKz3iSdek6I/UfbIIp4wwLI/AAAAAAAAGnU/HZI0EjxFFcs/s320/DSCN7958.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
here you can see a complete corner (on my 2nd coaster I figured out a better way to fold in the corners so it was a tighter cleaner edge, see below)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-8beKtsQ5Ut6yWJPtK9VDpsAWcUQcoWJQbz9_ZEiuvE6WgHOjpt9E7DVTfWPXj_j6VvWUU1p-Xs8HX7Yu8QovFFSmtmQCbei9Ef8Vw4Zm_lICssZn7m2riSJRwaLMM3AXA3bITg7bHkk/s1600/DSCN7959.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-8beKtsQ5Ut6yWJPtK9VDpsAWcUQcoWJQbz9_ZEiuvE6WgHOjpt9E7DVTfWPXj_j6VvWUU1p-Xs8HX7Yu8QovFFSmtmQCbei9Ef8Vw4Zm_lICssZn7m2riSJRwaLMM3AXA3bITg7bHkk/s320/DSCN7959.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>5)</strong> I cut and adhered a piece of card stock to the back to cover the remaining cork and make a neater backing</div>
<br />

I now followed the same steps above to cover the other cork coaster I had. At <strong>step 4)</strong> I still cut diagonal slits in the corners of the map paper but folded the corners in better as I rounded the paper with a bit of tucking.</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the steps are basically the same with a few exceptions</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>step 1)</strong> I trimmed a square of map paper to fit over the actual design on the coaster and still have the coater edging show</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLdXjcy1NYIYZYnl72fLLjkVhnWEomm3LgEBuFs4SO0OVMbIHxI-jGV83unPbQ1P1eJvokZub8KcYr32OWrZhLiOcDOD8utgmqjUR_yFjeouDDxrul_JbrjlzgTvfQNlEjdZYo1v08KAM/s1600/DSCN7983.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLdXjcy1NYIYZYnl72fLLjkVhnWEomm3LgEBuFs4SO0OVMbIHxI-jGV83unPbQ1P1eJvokZub8KcYr32OWrZhLiOcDOD8utgmqjUR_yFjeouDDxrul_JbrjlzgTvfQNlEjdZYo1v08KAM/s320/DSCN7983.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div align="center">
<strong> 2)</strong> adhere a thin layer of glue to the area you want to put the map on</div>
<br />
<br />

<br />
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<strong>3)</strong> I decided to add glitter to this coaster, so I added another layer of glue and sprinkled on the glitter. The glue dries clear.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
for one of the ceramic coasters I also added some decorative tape to make a different border as you can see in the picture below of all the coasters:<br />
(ok right now I have a link to the picture...ugh technology)</div>

<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<strong>FINAL STEP</strong>: is to finish sealing the coasters with a waterproof sealer, my husband is going to put a thin coat of polyurethane </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but actually kind of FUN...well fun for me ;-)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lets take a look at some steps I take...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ol>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>Pick your Dates:</strong> my family is going in June </div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>Decide on how you will get there:</strong> we are driving</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>Where will you stay?</strong> choices range from off site hotels, vacation rentals to on site resorts: we are staying on site at our Disney Vacation Club rental</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>How long will you go for?</strong> we are staying 7 days</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>Of those days, how many will you go into the theme parks?</strong> YES you can actually plan rest time at Disney, we always do! We will be going into the parks 5 out of 7 days</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>Budget!</strong> yes this is very important...</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>Dining</strong>...will you eat breakfast in hotel, pack snacks for in the parks, dine at any table service places? lots to think about. We utilize our full kitchen in our rental and do a combination of the above.</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>Make an ITINERARY!</strong> Yes you need to do this...from the basic of we'll go to Magic Kingdom on Wednesday morning and Friday night, to which rides/attractions you want to try and do each time...</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>Make a TOP 5 List</strong>...I always ask each member of my family what are the TOP 5 things you MUST do? from going on a specific ride more than, eating a certain snack, to seeing a character. There is SO MUCH to do at Disney, you can easily get overwhelmed...this breaks it down into doable chunks.</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>Schedule that REST time!</strong> whether its in the park in a shady spot, back at your resort-taking a nap or visiting the pool. This is essential to any Disney trip...even those short ones. With our family going in June, we will arrive at the parks early, then rest/swim in the afternoon-heat of the day and then go back to the parks in the evening.</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>Souvenir Shopping</strong>. OK there is no way around this. The gifts shops are EVERYWHERE, several rides' exit lines "dump" you into a gift shop. Set clear boundaries of when you stop to shop or look. Set clear $ budgets or how many souvenirs your children can get (don't forget yourself).</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>FREEBIES!</strong> yes they exist! you can get Celebration buttons at any theme park, park maps-my oldest daughter collects them, at EPCOT, you can get a free souvenir cut out and get it stamped or signed at each Country in the World Showcase pavilion. </div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Characters...you want to take time to see them. Check times guides upon arrival into the theme park to see where and when your favorites will be out. Mickey Mouse can be seen at each theme park.</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>Fast Passes!</strong> USE THEM! don't wait in an attraction line for over 30 minutes, when you can grab a Fast Pass and come back later during a specific hour and probably only wait 15 minutes or less.</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>Packing</strong>...this is tricky. Decide will you do laundry while on vacation? All resorts have coin operated machines. It can be time consuming or boring...you are on vacation after all. But believe me if you decide to do laundry at least once, you wont regret it.</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>What do you need in the Parks?</strong> lightweight sweatshirt, water bottles, hand wipes, sunscreen, wear a hat, sunglasses, bring ponchos (the $1 store ones <em>can </em>work, but they wont last if you need to use them more than once), comfy shoes (break them in BEFORE you go), camera, something for characters to sign, and any personal items you need.</div>
</li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are more things you can do and will need to decide, but that's the cream of the crop...in my honest opinion. Now how about some <strong>CRAFTY FUN</strong> while you countdown and get ready for this trip!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>

<br />
The pictures of my Husband and I were from our 15th Anniversary trip in October 2011. Then one year later I got together with Amy and Heidi, two of the best peeps :-) <br />
<br />
We'll all be down at Disney together the end of next week and can't wait! This is what I love about Disney....hope you enjoy and are inspired to make some fun, goofy, romantic, and magical memories of your own:-)<br />
<br />
Thanks, Julie <br />

This was the first year I hard boiled eggs in the oven, inspired by Pinterest. Overall it was a lot easier and didn't stink up the kitchen. But unsure if all the eggs cooked evenly through as some when cracked open to eat seemed undercooked. I will probably do again in oven, but rotate my pan 1/2 way through since I don't think my oven cooks evenly anyways.</div>

The hardest part was scooping the oranges out of the rinds. I just used a spoon. Be careful of small holes in your rind bowls, cause the jello will leak right out. We had to trim some peel off the slices after the jello set, since there is no way you can get a completely even jello line at the top of the bowl. The orange jello didn't seem to set right, I think that was a generic brand...so go with Jello brand for these. They were a HUGE hit, especially with my 2 yr old niece.</div>

<br />
All 4 of my children posses various behaviors of Autism, from social delays, speech issues, sensory, perceptive issues as well as lack of executive functioning and more. 3 of my children have been diagnosed on the Spectrum while one my youngest is not she has severe food intolerances and allergies.<br />
<br />
Being a parent of 4 special needs children is no easy task, nor is just being a parent at all. For my husband and I we tackle battles that may seem trivial or unacceptable to those looking in from the outside. <br />
<br />
We don't always manage the best and often have a hard time dividing ourselves to help, support, and advocate daily for our children. But we DO because of the Grace of GOD, and from an amazing support group of family and friends....<br />
<br />
So when you read and look at my pictures, are a parent or not...I don't post for pity or am saying: look at me and what I do....but for awareness...check out these amazing kids and know there are SO many others like them. The next time you see a child melting down in the store, or a child making odd noises and spinning in circles, or a child who likes to sniff your clothes, or a child who doesn't want to be touched, or a child who is extremely smart but is very unorganized....don't ignore or frown upon them or their parents, but just send a look of Acceptance, and " it's OK!"<br />
<br />
Thanks, Julie<br />

That I was up to some MAGIC Monday fun, it took me a few different spurts of time to complete but it is done and I'm happy to share my NEW Disney Countdown for an upcoming trip in April!<br />
<br />
I found some inspiration on Pinterest (but of course) from these two great crafter blogs:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.disneydreamin4familyfun.blogspot.com/2012/10/disney-vacation-countdowns.html" target="_blank">disneydreamin4familyfun.blogspot disney-vacation-countdowns.html</a><br />
<br />
this ladies' blog has lots of great ideas from big to little countdowns. I was inspired by her Mickey head cutouts w/ shorts :-)<br />
<br />
and<br />
<br />
<a href="http://mncrafts.blogspot.com/2011/03/disney-vacation-countdown.html" target="_blank">mncrafts.blogspot disney-vacation-countdown</a><br />
<br />
I liked the idea of attaching the countdown Mickey heads onto string from this blog post :-)<br />
<br />
<br />
I got to work and per usual my attempt is to use what I already have in the house!<br />
<br />
I got started by cutting out the Mickey Heads seen above. I used my cricut and the Mickey Font cartridge.<br />

I cut out 30 heads using size 4, I was able to cut 4 heads out of a single sheet of 12x12 black cardstock. I saved the silhouettes for my daughter to craft with.</div>

Next I made a list of 30 simple "activities" for the countdown and printed out on regular paper which I cut into squares. The "activities" range from just a fun Disney quote, watching a movie, to packing. This countdown is just for my Husband and I. So the goal was just cute, simple and fun!</div>

The next step was to cut out the Mickey shorts. I used red cardstock and the cricut again. This time I used the George/Shapes cartridge and made 15 circles in size 3. I was able to squeeze 5 circles on a 1/2 sheet of 12x12 cardstock. A few of my circles cut some edges trimmed off by another circle...but my goal in crafting is FUN not perfection :-)</div>

Next was Assembly time: I cut the circles in half and used adhesive on the curved edge and attached to the Mickey Head. Then folded the activity square and tucked it inside. Then searched through my button stash for white and/or yellow buttons which I added with glue dots.</div>

A search through my ribbon collection and I figured out a rough length of string and made 3 rows. Attached the string on the back with tape and added a string to the top as a hanging point. This string needs to be re-enforced with stronger tape since hanging it up though. </div>

somehow I did have some energy midway through the month to get a few things done, like SCRAPPING! whoo-hoo and create a cute Valentines table for my family.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the last week of February proved creative as I looked over some Magic Monday and Fix-it-Friday goals I had not met. I also went thru my Pinterest boards and set up some new goals!</div>

These early days of March have shown at least my creative mind is healing ;-) if not this lingering cough and congestion.<br />
<br />
Here's a wrap up of some projects I have caught up with and given me the boost I needed despite the SNOW, Chicago is finally decided to dump on us<br />
<br />

<br />
<strong>MAGIC Monday:</strong> <span style="font-size: large;">Bored Can</span><br />
<br />
inspiration found here: <a href="http://www.shabbybeachnest.com/101-idea-im-bored-jar/" target="_blank">shabbybeachnest.com -im-bored-jar</a> and <a href="http://thehappyhousewife.com/homeschool/mom-im-bored-activity-cards/" target="_blank">thehappyhousewife.com im-bored-activity-cards</a><br />
<br />
Since I couldn't find my stash of wooden craft sticks I just printed out the list from the happy house wife. Cut them out, wrote a few notes on some and eliminated a few ideas, like make mud pies (sorry I'm just not that mom) laminated and trimmed them into smaller rectangles<br />
<br />

the labels I created on the Martha Stewart card making app; printed, laminated, cut and attached them to the can. There is an up cycled package ribbon tied around the can too, that you can quite see in the pictures.<br />

The can has a new "home" in our kitchen/family room area and has already seen some use. This is my son Nate picking from jar today and laughing at his pick "Water gun fight" as we are having a SNOW day. <br />

<strong>MAGIC Monday:</strong> <span style="font-size: large;">Disney inspired paper dolls </span><br />
<br />
Sorry I don't have any pre production photos, I accidentally deleted them off my camera whoops! However I found this image while I was browsing Pinterest. The PIN doesn't work, but I was able to just save the image to my pictures and print two copies off my printer.<br />

After I printed them, I cut them cut and secured each princess together with adhesive, laminated and trimmed them out. But then I was stuck, how do you play with them? How do they stand up?<br />
<br />
My original thought was Popsicle sticks, or a plastic straw, none of which I had enough of and was determined not to purchase anything for these Magic Monday Projects. I then saw this on Pinterest:<br />
