Day 11 of Craftnanza
December 1st is almost here and yes that means car payment time for me - which I paid online this am. It really is amazing all the things you can do online....a good pal of mine buys shoes (almost everyday) online and I sit here chatting away online (almost everyday) and the DIY website is filled with tons of crafty project ideas (Everyday) so if you are looking for a few good holiday ideas, just poke around the DIY website.
here is a link to get you started -

Day 7 of Craftnanza
Saturday I made 15 batches of chex mix and I only burned one batch - yea! (Some for neighbor gifts and some for the house) I love chex mix this time of year it just goes so well with football and movie night. Speaking of football, my hubby and I watched the USC game last night - and it looks like USC will be playing against my school Ohio State. You can guess who I will be rooting for.
Well it is day 7 of craftnanza...and today DIY has some fun holiday shows!
