Odd enough.

I am hosting my first swap. I'd really appreciate it if you'd take the time to check it out and join if it is something you might like. I would like my first swap to be successful!

Today I started my first journal. I'm participating in another journal swap and it's pretty time consuming! We have to do like 30 entries, it's crazy. But I've had so much fun with it! Um, so much fun that I didn't realize I was sitting on my Caramello candy bar the entire hour I was journaling. Soooo... it was squished and melted. (Did you know that you can squeeze a melted chocolate bar out of a hole in the wrapper and it still tastes good? Trust me on this one.)

I'm excited for tomorrow because it will be my first giveaway on my blog! I have given away about 20 sets of hairbows and 12 tutus so far, since I started in October. I usually give them away on Cafemom or Myspace or Facebook, but I think this is a good place to start giving things away, too! Wouldn't you agree??

To be entered in the contest you just have to leave a comment on tomorrow's entry and be following my blog. Tomorrow, I will also post other ways to get MORE entries for the contest. WEEE!!

I attempted to make a scarf today on my round knitting loom and failed miserably. First, I forgot that you don't do it in a circle, that you stop before the end... and I knitted like 8 rows before I caught myself. Then, I tried knitting just half of the loom and couldn't figure it out - at all. I'm going to continue my search online for a tutorial. Maybe I should make my own on YouTube when I figure it out. I can't stand it when I don't know how to do something!

I will leave you with this journal prompt, feel free to answer it on your blog or even in my comments. I'd love to hear what everyone says.

Would you rather go a week without bathing, but be able to change your clothes, or a week without a change of clothes, but be able to bathe?

I would rather go a week without changing my clothes, but still being able to bathe. Because my clothes don't get THAT dirty and if I can still bathe they will stay even cleaner.

Please join my swap... and don't forget to come back tomorrow and win some hair bows! I will be giving away more than one set -- that means more than one winner!

The new schedule

Just wanted to give everyone a little run-down of the weeks to come! I have designated each day as a special one! Mostly so I can make myself blog daily, but also to hopefully have something for everyone that stops by!

Sunday -- FUNNIES -- Jokes, mostly cheesy ones... and hopefully a funny picture or video, courtesy of my kids.

Monday -- RESOLUTIONS -- How is everyone doing with their resolutions? I will ask, you will tell! I will also post my resolutions and how I am doing with them!

Tuesday -- RECIPES -- I will post at least one recipe, hopefully along with pictures!! I love to cook, and I love helping others with easy recipes. Pictures always help me, hopefully they will help you too!

Wednesday -- CRAFTS -- My favorite subject!! I will post a new craft, pattern, picture, whatever... something that has to do with crafting!

Thursday -- ODDBALL -- This will just be a random blog.. probably me griping.. I was thinking about "bitchin Thursday" but I just might not have anything to bitch about that day. We will see!!

Friday -- GIVEAWAYS -- I will do a giveaway every Friday. Eventually, I may do a review/giveaway because I'd love to review other hand made products... but it's a work in progress! Until then, I will give something away every Friday. Hair bows, knitted hats, maybe even a tutu. You must be following my blog to win. :)

Saturday -- SWAPS -- I will post my swaps for the week. What's going out, what's been sent, what's been received... and what I think of it all!!

I hope you will join me on my daily adventures!!
