If you are new to this series, you might be wondering, “What in the world is a Glog?”. A Glog is an on-line poster that can be viewed via Glogster, printed, or shared by social media. Schools have their own special version but a public one is also available. Glogs allow you to add text,…
It’s almost spring, hurray! When St. Patrick’s Day arrives, we all know that spring is just around the corner. If I have a drop of Irish blood, then it’s through my adopted, red-headed great-grandfather. If he wasn’t Irish, then I haven’t a drop of Irish blood circulating in my body. Never-the-less, it’s the season to…
Today I’m guest posting at my friend Johnnie’s blog, Saved By Love Creations. I’d love it if you’d stop by to read my post and perhaps leave some comment love. I created Easter cards that I think are adorably cute. You need to see them! 🙂
Last week I posted about Glogging and shared a sample Glog about our recent beach weekend. Today I’m starting a “how-to” series on Glogging. I hope that this will be both informative and helpful. Glogs are fun to make for anyone and are extremely useful for students. Instead of making an old-fashioned poster to take…
Last year at school our students learned to make Glogs on Glogster. Have you heard of Glogster? Glogster is an on-line poster making tool. It’s great for reports and my students love it. Glogster has an edu division for schools and a free edition for home use. It’s simple to sign up, you can…
Rhoda of Southern Hospitality recently celebrated a 5th blogging birthday and in celebration hosted several giveaways. I was the lucky winner of a set of cards from Little Pearl Designs. I recently received my cards and am thrilled with them. They are hand stamped on a very high quality paper with a heavy weight. As an…

If you aren’t familiar with The CSI Project, each week there is a themed challenge where an overall winner is selected along with ten other top projects. Last…
The other day I had a few minutes to kill so I stopped in the Goodwill near my school. I found several books and then wondered to the housewares section to see if any treasures might be waiting for my discovery. No treasures were found, but I did buy a few pieces of silverware to…
A sweater wreath has been a project that I’ve wanted to try for a long while. This fall when I switched my closet from summer to fall/winter, I noticed that one of my favorite sweaters had developed two holes just under the v-neck making it unwearable. I stashed this sweater away with the hope of crafting…
I love testing recipes and especially love it when I find a winner. This mac and cheese recipe is from the January 2011 issue of Southern Living. What makes it so great is it is a LIGHT recipe and it has a creamy, smoky taste that is so good. I’m sure to make this again…
I’ve enjoyed sharing three Valentine’s crafts over the past two weeks and am excited to share my finished mantel. The red candles have a cherry scent that is quite pleasant. I usually find candles a bit strong, but these are quite pleasant. All of the vases are vintage with the exception of the glass votives and the small silver votive….
My Valentine mantel needed one more bit of bling, so I made a fabric covered heart that was nearly free since I had all of the supplies on hand. To make this, I traced a heart on cardboard, cut it out, and then spray painted one side pink to match my fabrics. I coated the…
