I have SO many amazing ideas....but time got away from me AGAIN and I realized I didn't want to spend the money or the TIME making some of the really creative ideas I had planned to do. ...and since today is December 1st, I had to use what I had around the house! So this is waht I came up with...a fairy condo of match boxes that I hot glued together and prettied up! ....no bigger than the size of my peppermint mocha!!<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/TPcPmcBXbcI/AAAAAAAAD-A/gBLUvSVszGw/s1600/IMG_2170.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545918619161423298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/TPcPmcBXbcI/AAAAAAAAD-A/gBLUvSVszGw/s400/IMG_2170.JPG" border="0" /></a>Each matchbox holds a piece of paper with a"Family Activity" to be enjoyed each day. Some of the family activities include; family movie night, volunteering at the Humane Society, shopping for our Angel Tree boy, board game night, making Christmas cookies, making a holiday fairy garden, Subway lunch at school with mom, making wrapping paper and wrapping grandparent gifts, filling a bag with food from the pantry and dropping off to a local shelter, stringing popcorn and making pinecone feeders for our animal friends, making snowflakes and paper chains, Elfing ourselves and emailing to grandparents, reading all of our Christmas storybooks, having a dinner picnic by the evergreen forest (or by the Christmas tree), going on a Starbucks run for hot chocolate and looking at lights.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/TPcPmKn9bZI/AAAAAAAAD94/YAT3Hshy_lU/s1600/IMG_2167.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545918614491458962" style="DISPLAY: block;

Of course, never take a drink of your tea without removing the spoon first, and please never, ever sip from the spoon.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/TCGTYiTFJuI/AAAAAAAAC6I/WsH3Ur6c6a4/s1600/TeaParty.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485827870846953186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 376px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 250px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/TCGTYiTFJuI/AAAAAAAAC6I/WsH3Ur6c6a4/s400/TeaParty.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />When you take a sip of tea, do not look around at the other guests, but lower your eyes so you can see what you are doing.</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Scones are a traditional part of a proper tea.

This week we are wondering about our mystery door in the Blackhawk.<br /><br />We have a door that originally was less than 10 feet from the main door to the hotel (which now opens on the RiverCenter side). It’s an interesting door — a strange size in comparison with the other hotel doors. The mystery door is a different brick — and very ornately done. The tile around it has small figurines of crabs, ducks and turtles worked into the brick. It looks really old and beautiful and has been walled up for a very long time. As we work on it and opening it up, we keep wondering:<br /><br />What was it to? Why all the little animals? What could have been so close to the main entrance of the hotel and yet look so different? It’s all a mystery. The only thing I know is that I want to be the first one through the door — just in case Narnia or a potion that makes me smaller is on the other side.<br /><a href="http://qctimes.com/app/terms/">Copyright 2010 The Quad-City Times.

We did a lot of baking, creating, sharing, helping...and surprising friends and family members with happy notes or special treats. Although we were gone for a week in Florida, we tried to continue the spirit of "being kind" while on the beach by writing positive messages in the sand and creating sand art that would make people smile. March is my new favorite month...it felt great to have a mission of love...thinking of "what we could do next" to make the world a better place!! <br /><br />Out of all of our kind and random merry-making, the BEST thing we did was become volunteers at the Humane Society...an act that has not only been good for those sweet fur babies...but it has been great for us as well....not just for the month of March but for the months to come!<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S8KGF1DGToI/AAAAAAAACqE/4BRgBUVOT_A/s1600/IMG_1145.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459073133024005762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S8KGF1DGToI/AAAAAAAACqE/4BRgBUVOT_A/s400/IMG_1145.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S8KGFZvOYII/AAAAAAAACp8/3RcoXQ-9N8o/s1600/IMG_1143.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459073125692891266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S8KGFZvOYII/AAAAAAAACp8/3RcoXQ-9N8o/s400/IMG_1143.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S8KFxvyCflI/AAAAAAAACp0/AuUbU-jb9Yc/s1600/IMG_1587.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459072788012891730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S8KFxvyCflI/AAAAAAAACp0/AuUbU-jb9Yc/s400/IMG_1587.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Although we spend most of our time with the cats, we take a dog or two for a walk while we are there. We took this little guy for a walk today. He barks like a fog horn but is so adorable. We took another little weiner dog named Lulu for a much longer walk to the park where the boys played and Lulu chased sticks and licked my feet. <br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S8KFxaTRB1I/AAAAAAAACps/hdWO6wTwD8c/s1600/IMG_1593.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459072782246676306" style="DISPLAY: block;

This is improper and in most social settings it is considered rude.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S5R-KRVrvFI/AAAAAAAACoc/yCLVqTL5gEI/s1600-h/CNLJUN05076A1ret-de.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446116564315913298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 313px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S5R-KRVrvFI/AAAAAAAACoc/yCLVqTL5gEI/s400/CNLJUN05076A1ret-de.jpg" border="0" /></a>When stirring your tea, be careful not to clink your spoon against the cup. Gently swish the spoon back and forth without touching the sides of the cup. When you are through stirring, remove the spoon and place it on the saucer behind the tea cup and to the right of the handle. Of course, never take a drink of your tea without removing the spoon first, and please never, ever sip from the spoon.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S5R-J0O4lQI/AAAAAAAACoU/TVUrgqQgDcA/s1600-h/TeaParty.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446116556502766850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 376px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 250px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S5R-J0O4lQI/AAAAAAAACoU/TVUrgqQgDcA/s400/TeaParty.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />When you take a sip of tea, do not look around at the other guests, but lower your eyes so you can see what you are doing.<br /><br />Scones are a traditional part of a proper tea. Split the scone with a knife. Since the knife is now used, lay it gently on the side of your plate.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S5R-JtDfQNI/AAAAAAAACoM/DC36dl2kbGc/s1600-h/tea-party-sandwiches-rep0507-de.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446116554575921362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 313px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S5R-JtDfQNI/AAAAAAAACoM/DC36dl2kbGc/s400/tea-party-sandwiches-rep0507-de.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Be sure to take small bites and never take a sip of tea to wash down your food. Tea is hot and not meant for this task.<br /><br />If you ever have to leave the table, place your napkin on your chair, never the table.<br /><br />Never blot or wipe your lipstick with a linen or cloth napkin.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S5R-JBnjjDI/AAAAAAAACoE/WnTYPiyPW7Q/s1600-h/tea-party-spread-de-40031052.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446116542916037682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 313px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S5R-JBnjjDI/AAAAAAAACoE/WnTYPiyPW7Q/s400/tea-party-spread-de-40031052.jpg" border="0" /></a>The hostess will signal the end of the tea by picking up her napkin and laying it to the left of her plate. </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Most importantly, enjoy the company of your fanciful tea loving friends.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Cheers!<br /></div><div></div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/918337837199988173-124534847589672441?l=blendednotstirred-melissa.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09797583110080340536noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-918337837199988173.post-28886434665085431532010-03-07T19:29:00.000-08:002010-03-07T20:47:41.133-08:00<div align="center">A week of random “kind” acts was delightful, fabulous, and way too easy. The question is….are these REALLY random acts of kindness? I mean, I would have done <em>every</em> single one of these things on <em>any</em> given day and would NEVER think of it as “oh I’m being so kind!”(except bringing Max’s class donuts…that felt more of an “above and beyond” type of act). So do the other ones really count?<br /><br />Bringing lunch to a teacher<br />Bringing home-made scones and green tea to our morning leadership meeting<br />Helping a handicapped man with his groceries<br />Bringing lunch and eating with Max at school<br />Sending pictures to my brother<br />Bringing coffee to a friend<br />Leaving change in a pop machine<br />Bringing cookies to a “bad vibe” meeting<br />and<br />Bringing donuts and juice to Max’s classroom<br /><br />Just an interesting thought … "what REALLY counts as a random act of kindness.”<br /><br />Anything that makes someone smile?<br />Anything that makes someone feel loved?<br />Anything that makes someone feel appreciated?<br />Anything that makes someone else’s life easier?</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">I guess it doesn't matter.....as long as I am putting "good" out there, and setting the momentum of positive energy to those around me.....it will continue to multiply and the world will be saved!!!......</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">or at the very least....my family and my friends will know I love them!</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">What will WEEK TWO BRING???</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/918337837199988173-2888643466508543153?l=blendednotstirred-melissa.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09797583110080340536noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-918337837199988173.post-35718147941622732612010-02-28T19:00:00.000-08:002010-02-28T19:19:33.495-08:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S4sxnwIc-_I/AAAAAAAACn8/TJBzvw5AUvM/s1600-h/kindness.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443499133612391410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 250px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 245px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S4sxnwIc-_I/AAAAAAAACn8/TJBzvw5AUvM/s400/kindness.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>March is Random Acts of Kindness month! I have decided to perform at least one "random act" a day for the entire month of March. My intention of this "project" is not so much for ME...but for my family. I want my "kind acts" to be witnessed and duplicated by my son and my step daughters. I want them to find themselves not only looking for ways to "do something to make someone smile"....but I want them to do it so often that it feels natural! I want them to feel <em>uncomfortable </em>when they <em>miss</em> the opportunity to be kind and spread joy to others. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>"Changing the world....one random act of kindness at a time"....that is going to be my daily mantra. Hopefully it will become a part of their subconscious...a part of who they are!!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I announced my "project" to everyone tonight while we were out to dinner and asked everyone to help me generate a list. Here are the ideas we have came up with so far!!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div align="center">Bake cookies and give them to our friends</div><br /><div align="center">Bring donuts to Max's teacher and classmates </div><br /><div align="center">Make cat treats and give them to our feline friends</div><br /><div align="center">Volunteer at an animal shelter</div><br /><div align="center">Pay for the person behind me at Starbucks</div><br /><div align="center">Give blood</div><br /><div align="center">Give a waitress a big tip</div><br /><div align="center">Bring coffee and treats to work</div><br /><div align="center">Write a letter to Uncle Dave and send him pictures</div><br /><div align="center">Leave change in vending machines</div><br /><div align="center">Write someone a happy note</div><br /><div align="center">Write messages in a bottle or in the sand (we are going to be at the beach for a week during March)</div><br /><div align="center">Make breakfast cookies for my family</div><br /><div align="center">Make someone dinner and deliver it to them </div><br /><div align="center">Offer photograph gifts</div><br /><div align="center">Pick up litter</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>These look pretty easy to do....we'll see how many actually get crossed off the list and how many random acts I think of as each day unfolds..hopefully in the presence of the kids! I will share and reflect on my "kindness" at the end of the month.......</div><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/918337837199988173-3571814794162273261?l=blendednotstirred-melissa.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09797583110080340536noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-918337837199988173.post-75878818088828095922010-02-27T17:18:00.000-08:002010-02-27T17:38:16.919-08:00<div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S4nGGmfq1DI/AAAAAAAACns/rIXi0HGLYig/s1600-h/6a00e54f096d618834011570786606970c-450wi.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443099441368847410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S4nGGmfq1DI/AAAAAAAACns/rIXi0HGLYig/s400/6a00e54f096d618834011570786606970c-450wi.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S4nGGTjrwaI/AAAAAAAACnk/q8nf6dulyhE/s1600-h/roulottes_10-1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443099436285411746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 303px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S4nGGTjrwaI/AAAAAAAACnk/q8nf6dulyhE/s400/roulottes_10-1.jpg" border="0" /></a> After researching "land" for potential tree houses....we are running into some road blocks....needing to be creative I have stumbled upon Gypsy Caravans.....and I am in love. <br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S4nGGAUQECI/AAAAAAAACnc/Legbfp8a9B4/s1600-h/249893853_1f35fb2473.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443099431120408610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 289px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S4nGGAUQECI/AAAAAAAACnc/Legbfp8a9B4/s400/249893853_1f35fb2473.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S4nF0VUdzVI/AAAAAAAACnU/tzxZ0pujTKo/s1600-h/336562736_fdc84b4c4f.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443099127520808274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 358px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S4nF0VUdzVI/AAAAAAAACnU/tzxZ0pujTKo/s400/336562736_fdc84b4c4f.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S4nFz5j3nAI/AAAAAAAACnM/XFfy2kn0x-0/s1600-h/slide_8.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443099120069221378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 165px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S4nFz5j3nAI/AAAAAAAACnM/XFfy2kn0x-0/s400/slide_8.jpg" border="0" /></a>I wonder if I could turn our little Gypsy Caravan into a Bed &amp; Breakfast...a little nook in the woods for two with a complimentary bottle of wine and an assortment of chocolates upon your arrival.

All I would need are candles, music, a warm blanket for my hammock, a bottle of wine, a good book and Luna curled at my feet and I could spend days in the tree tops swaying in the breeze! sigh......<br /><br />We watched Swiss Family Robinson last weekend which just ignited my DESPERATE NEED to build a tree house before I get too old to climb the stairs up to my magical hideout.....oh wait, we don't have any trees.<br /><br />So we are in the midst of drawing up our OWN tree house plans and finding the perfect spot at Nona and Opa's house to build this summer. Of course Max thinks the tree house is for him....<br /><br />I leave you with some images of tree houses that dance in my head like sugar plums as I drift to sleep.....<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/S3yzqeim5wI/AAAAAAAAClU/lCEx5mGXp5Y/s1600-h/treehouses-8.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439419992290813698" style="DISPLAY: block;

I love the rich illustrations ….luminous colors and enchanting close-ups that make the reader feel cozy and safe, even on Halloween night!<br /><br />“Moonlight walks the night. She sees lights going off in the houses. Now only pumpkins will shine.” This little fabulous feline snuggles affectionately on the lap of a man made of straw and watches many splendors of the night, including trick or treating children and the reflections of twinkling stars on a still, dark pond.<br /><br />It’s fun to think about what cats might do... and where they might go after their humans are all tucked in their beds. It’s immensely soothing to think of raccoons and bunnies and owls going about their night time business after the sun goes down and the moon comes up.<br /><br />Moonlight feels so at ease moving through the night air as she encounters nocturnal magic….and naturally concludes her travels arriving back to her warm and cozy home.<br /><br />Although this book is way baby-ish for Max.....it was fun for him to read to Lady Luna....(like she cared)....and then to REALLY turn this delightful read into a thematic evening.....a little baking and creating our own edible Halloween cats .....<br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/StaOD8sdFsI/AAAAAAAACCw/5XBqJU6rvPw/s1600-h/20081016-mamster-cupcakes.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392653802306082498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/StaOD8sdFsI/AAAAAAAACCw/5XBqJU6rvPw/s400/20081016-mamster-cupcakes.jpg" border="0" /></a> No....I don't have that much time on my hands.....but they are cute and I'm quite certain they are delicious!</div><div> </div><div></div><div>May your encounter your own nocturnal magic this evening......<br /><br /><div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/918337837199988173-8617066971197450971?l=blendednotstirred-melissa.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09797583110080340536noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-918337837199988173.post-89971025892485889882009-10-13T18:56:00.000-07:002009-10-13T20:09:46.443-07:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/StUwcAxU2kI/AAAAAAAACCo/DRGtODRvOVs/s1600-h/IMG_0296.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392269386647394882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tLe6kpXEVGY/StUwcAxU2kI/AAAAAAAACCo/DRGtODRvOVs/s400/IMG_0296.JPG" border="0" /></a> Ha....I am trying to stay in the Halloween theme with that title there but that is not very nice since I am talking about my MOM!!
