I feel so bad that I haven’t blogged at all in almost a week…I have been so sick. My daughter has had this cold—almost all winter long. She gets sick, then kind of gets better, then gets sick again, and so it goes on and on and on. Oh, I wish Winter would just END! I totally blame all my  woes on Winter.

Well, after being thrown up on, and coughed on, and sneezed on (etc…I will spare you the chunky details) I am now sick as well, and this is one mean little bug. I haven’t done much in days. My house is a wreck. My husband had to eat his cereal (he’s lucky there was cereal=) out of tupperware this morning because of course there isn’t a clean dish in the house, and you don’t even want to ask me about my pile of laundry…

PLUS—I am going to be having 2 extra kids spending the week at my house (starting tomorrow). So, I will have a 4  year old (neighbor kid), 3 year old (my kid), 2 year old (neighbor kid) and a 10 month old (mine). And with my husband working 65 hour weeks…well, lets just say It’s going to be a long week for me too. It would be enough work if I was feeling well…now, I’m not even sure I will survive. ha ha.

So, I’m pumping my body full of fluids and vitamins. I’m heading off right now to take a nap. I’m praying that I will miraculously be healed by tomorrow. And I am looking forward to a fun filled week…that unfortunately does not include blogging. So, I will miss you FloralShowers…and I will miss all you lovely readers. Zzz. zzz. zzz.

This is Anne.

Signing off.

bye.

Hello, hello! I’m so excited to be visiting Floralshowers again! Hopefully some still remember who I am… well, if not I’m Jess. I used to be a part of Floralshowers but in December started my own craft blog: All For This Penny. I’ve had a lot of fun but have definitely missed Anne and Floralshowers. Luckily Anne was nice enough to let me do a guest post.

I know this project is old news, but I am still so excited about it that I’m gonna share.

I went to the thrift store the other week and picked up these – for a grand total of .75 cents! (I bet you already know what I did with them, right? I’m still gonna show you anyways.)

Well, I added a little E-6000….

And glued those babies together.

Ta-dah!

You might be expecting me to show you my brand new platter with a cupcake or cookies on it, right? Well, wrong. Mine will be used for the stashing of car keys or jewelry or whatever I fancy. I’m so excited to finally have one of these and they are SO easy and inexpensive to make. I might have to make another thrift store run asap.

Thanks so much to all of you who have been participating in my Creative Craft Thursday. You know the drill:

1. Link to a crafty Post, not your homepage.
2. Grab my button (found on my left sidebar) and put it at the bottom of your post or on your sidebar. (Or just do a text link if you prefer
3. Check out some of the other links, and leave a few comments ’cause that’s what makes it fun!
4. Feel free to add more than one link if you want to.

When I was in college I had a roommate that ate Oreos with a fork. We all thought that was pretty funny. She said that was the way her grandpa always did it, and so she would sit at the table with a big tall glass of milk and her “double stuff” Oreo stuck on her fork and dunk it: without getting her fingers dirty!

I’ve been converted ever since, and even though others might laugh and think it is weird, I will tell you right now that their is only one right way to dunk an Oreo. HA HA.

Let me know if you try it =)
