Anchor Man Halloween Costume

 Everybody wants to be on TV! I only had a day to make it from scratch and I think it came out great! I used foam board and duct tape and made him a full fledged news set! You cut the square out and use the remains for the rest of the construction of the desk, script and microphone flag.all the different colors are achieved through duct tape and the microphone ball is a Christmas ornament!

You strap it on with a homemade wire harness that is criscrossed to meet in the middle of the back (which took a little trial and error to make it comfortable).  Put on your best outfit and dad's tie and away you go! As soon as your child puts it on he will begin to give the news. "This is your anchor man and it's cloudy with a chance of meatballs!" Teach him to say "You stay classy"! It's truly going to be a one of a kind costume.

6 Simple Goals To Achieve B4 2011

We all have a few small goals we would like to achieve but life gets in the way. Why not set 6 simple goals to achieve b4 2011. Here's my list. I was inspired to create this page during my lunch break at work one day. Don't make it a big goal like lose 20 lbs. Instead say you want to eat at least one healthy meal a day-- or a week--- whatever works best for you! Why 6? Because it's not 5 and it's not 7! He he!

As I revisit my list I recently came up with I see I am doing great on some-- and need to refocus on others!

Write it down. Make it pretty so you will want to look at it every day and watch it happen!

Come on! Join me! Put your goals out to the universe and see how you make them happen. Write your goals in comments or even more exciting- post your pretty goals page in our Flicker group!

Purse Makeover

I know it's officially fall and time to put away our white for a few months, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to show you a cute little project I made for myself when the weather was still warm and I wanted to cheer myself up!

Want to give your purse a fresh new look without spending a penny? Check out this D.I.Y. It will take you 10 minutes!

Take your plain purse and go shopping with it in your jewelry stash! I know all you ladies have big ones- so this shouldn’t be too hard.

I found this cute beaded yellow necklace and a gold chain. I also found a beautiful Yellow flower pin that I knew would make the purse look perfect.

Then I went to my ribbon stash and picked out a matching piece of ribbon. Tie the ribbon on to the end, then every few inches tie the ribbon to the necklace. At the end of the necklace tie a pretty bow.

Then, open the necklaces and loop them on to each end of the purse strap and refasten them.

Add your pretty flower and you’re on the go! Isn’t it cute?
