Family Fun!

So... I checked out (notice that I did NOT buy) some back issues of Family Fun Magazine from the library and now I'm COMPLETELY addicted to them! I LOVE their ideas! And not all of them are "crafty."

For instance, one of them that I read said to keep old grocery lists. Like this: Write 5 favorite recipes on a piece of paper and then write down all of their ingredients on the same sheet. Write the current necessities on a separate piece of paper. Then in a couple of months, use that same list again. Repeat ALL of your lists rotating them every so many weeks. Then you will only have to make a grocery list of new recipes and current necessities. Um... hello, why didn't I think of that?

Anyway we did like the "crafty" stuff in the magazine too. Nathan and I built several structures with straws. Just make them fit together and build away. They weren't the cutest things ever... but something new to do is always a hit!

Then we did this one (more for me than him) and I loved it! In fact, I keep making more! They are so much fun. You can add them to flower pots outside and they look adorable!

Hi,
I think I made a mistake sending the owl tattoos to you twice, but you can go ahead and keep them. Thanks for letting me know!

Those are so dang cute!
Thank you.
I didn't even know I needed this idea. But, now I can't wait to tell Sashi (she's my other spouse half of the year) about them. We are always cutifying our JBF things. Thanks Gordostyle!
