10 on the 10th; On the 12th!

 I really wanted to join in with Marsha once again this month for 10 on the 10th but I already had posts scheduled for Monday and Tuesday!  This month we have some rather fun and unusual questions to answer.  



Want to play along?  Here are the questions Marsha posed:


I think I'd rather have clothes made of flowers since I think they'd feel better against my skin; feathers can be scratchy and irritating.

I like both those nature sounds but if I had to pick I'd pick birds chirping. 



Oh give me the tropical beach all the way!  I have been dreaming of Caribbean life lately...



I hate peeps and I like jelly beans (though I am partial to certain flavors and brands) so Jelly beans! 



Since I don't plant seeds (heck, I can barely keep full sized plants alive!) I'd pick a day at the beach... though preferably one with warm water.  Our water never really warms up here. 



I think it would be fun if everyone could pick their own color of grass! I'd most likely pick some shade of green or blue though. 



I'd rather wear my sandals with neither but if I had to pick... um.. socks, I guess? Only since I find hosiery so uncomfortable. 

I think I'd rather have flowers for toes since I'm not sure how I'd get anything done with flower fingers.

I've always thought both of these dances were a lot of fun and have fond memories of summer spent on Cape Cod listening to music around the town gazebo and being allowed to go down near the bandstand and dance to both these songs!  If I had to pick one I'd rather do the bunny hop 


I'd love to be a caterpillar because then I could turn into a beautiful butterfly!

    Fun questions! I hope you get to a Caribbean beach soon. There's something about those turquoise waters and white sandy beaches- the pictures you posted sum them up nicely. You hate peeps? Do you not like marshmallows? I know they are not the same thing but to me they seem very similar. I love their sugary exterior and squishy sweetness.

    So many fun questions! I would rather wear flowers than feathers because feathers make me sneeze!

      Yes! I was thinking it would either make me really itchy or make me want to sneeze.

    That socks or hose question was a stumper, haha.
    There seems to be a theme of beaches going on in your head and I love it

    I'm guessing a beach vacation is in your future, Joanne! I'm with you on wearing flowers because I thought feathers would be itchy, too! Thanks for playing along!!

    This was a fun read. I'm the same as you with Peeps and Jelly Beans. Only certain brands and flavors for me too!

      The Jelly Belly brand and their pineapple/ coconut ones are my all time favorites.

    I grew up in CA, and even in Southern CA the ocean is cold. I was so surprised the first time I went wading in the Gulf. I remember tensing up, prepared for a cold splash, and instead it was so pleasant. Definitely a beach vacation where to water is warm! Fun responses, Joanne!

      Yes! Our waters here in New England NEVER warm up so the warm waters of the gulf or the Caribbean are just wonderful. We actually inch into the water waiting for each body part to go numb before going in further. LOL

    We did have a lot of the same answers and reasoning for them!

    I don't really like Peeps either, and they're made in a town that's like an hour away from me, haha oops. Can't get behind jelly beans either, though. I guess I'm really a Reese's eggs kind of gal!

      If that had been an option I would definitely pick Reese's over jelly beans any day!

    This is a fun post! It would be neat to see what colors people choose for their grass. I'd probably choose teal. I love your caterpillar/butterfly response.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

Making Gift Card and Money Holders Using Scrapbooking and Cardmaking Supples

Image
I don't tend to keep a lot of crafting supplies on hand so when I saw this month's de-stash challenge I wasn't sure what I was going to make.  I finally realized that with so many of my Christmas gifts being cash and gift cards this year that I needed to make up some fun paper crafting/ creative ways to gift them.   I still want my nieces and nephews to have something to open so I pulled out my papers and stamps and made up some cute little money/gift card holders. They were much easier to make than I thought.  The first one I worked on was to hold some oversized Nintendo gift cards.  I made a standard sized card and folded down one corner of the card front.  Then I ran my double sided tape along the bottom an 1/2 way up the side creating a cute little pocket.  Finally I added some cute embellishments and ribbons.   Voila! A simple and easy gift card holder for those larger sized gift cards.  The bulk of the tweens and teens on my list j...

Making a Sugar Cookie "Gingerbread" House

Image
 Alec really wanted to try making his own gingerbread house this year without using a premade kit.  We talked about how we never really eat the house since they don't taste very good.  Years ago we gave up on the frosting that comes in the kit and began making our own so we thought perhaps we should try making our our house too. Only problem is that no one in the house likes gingerbread.  We talked about trying to make the house using a sugar cookie recipe.  Alec was so excited at that idea since he just LOVES sugar cookies.   He found a recipe online for a simple sugar cookie recipe and mixed up the dough.  He rolled it out an cut it to the size of our cookie sheets-- we had read that it's easiest to cut the house pieces out after the dough has been baked and is still warm and soft because then you don't have to worry about any of the pieces losing their shape while baking. I had picked out a simple cookie cutter set on Amazon and as soon as the ...
