My Twin Sister's Baby Shower!


I made these dragon Flies for my twin sister’s baby shower. You will need green wire (in the crafts/flowers aisle). White wire, tissue paper, colored cotton balls, google eyes, and different colored pipe cleaners, and hot glue sticks. The first thing you need to do is fold the green wire in half, make sure it is even at the bottom and stays folded. Then you need to fold 4 white wires, but run your two fingers apart up the white wire (from the inside) to shape it as a Dragon fly's wing.
After you have shaped the wings tie each one on the green wires, to secure the wings you will need to glue them down with a hot glue gun, (on both side on the green wire). The next step is tricky, you will need to take tissue paper and cut it small enough to wrap around the white wire. Tape the tissue paper down, then at the top of the tissue cut it in the shape of the white wire; do not pull the tissue paper tightly. You want it to keep the shape of the wing.
If the end of the tissue paper is loose, where the green wire is, you may need to put a little bit of hot glue on it. Take a green, or any color you want and twist it loosely around the green wire, be careful not to ripe the tissue paper when you go around the wings. Cut off if there is any extra pipe cleaner left at the bottom of the wire. Take a colored cotton ball and glue it at the top of the green wire. Then take another pipe cleaner and cut into in half then cut that half in half. Twist the pipe cleaners to give the dragon flies antennas. Glue them on the back of the colored cotton ball. Then glue the google eyes on the front of the dragon flies. Be sure to let each time you glue down something, to let it dry fully, if not the hot glue can mess up the wings.
We used these as decorations for my sister baby shower. The theme was a pond theme. We took a blue table cloth and lay in corner to look like a pond.  We sat the turtle diaper cake on it and put some lily pads around it with some frogs too. The diaper cake instructions can be found on www.pinterest.com. We can’t until our sweet little Miya comes to this world. She is due Feb. first. , but the Doctor says she will most likely come before then. The room is down in butterflies. She used some of the decorations we had at the shower to finish Miya’s room.

New Leap

I have recently learned how to work as a Poll manager. In a small town with a population of about 962 people it amazes me how much people get heated over Politics. Of, course I can't discuss what the issues were, but I have learned through this experience how people tend to let the smallest issues bother them more than the major issues. It amazed me how they were discussing, not in the precinct of course, but around the town, about something that could easily be fixed, and yet we need to be discussing how to fix issues in the school, or bring business to the town. I just couldn't believe that they would get so mad over silly things. I am not bashing the Town, because I love the town, I just wished they would put the petty aside and discuss what really matters. I work for three weeks in early and I worked on election day. It was a very unique experience and I am so thankful for the opportunity. I do hope I will be able to work again next year COMPASS test on November the 15th. After that I should be getting a letter that says whether I am accepted or not.I will be majoring in business and I hope to some day own  my own Business. That's is all for this Blog Thanks

Business Ideas!

Hey Everyone, I have an Idea for a business I would like to start in Elberton, it is something that I think that this wonderful small town truly needs. Yes, I said wonderful I guess some people just meant to live in small towns even if they don't want to admit it LOL,Just kidding, anyway,I see this business not only as way to make money, but I see it as a great ministry opportunity as well. I hope it to be a way I can reach the youth in Elberton. I can't reveal any Ideas on here, of course, because of people will steal my Idea. I hope that I can do this. I need help so, if you know of a good way I can get a grant, I would really appreciate the help.  I hope to start working on it soon. I am really excited about it, but I am going to need a lot of help.If you know of a church who wants to help reach the youth in these surrounding small town please let me know. I will reveal more when it starts coming together. I know is going to take a lot of time, and I am really getting anxious to get it started, but I ask for your prayers that I willing do this on God's timing and His Way. Thank you that is all for today.

More Dad problems

Ugh I am so sick of my Dad, only reason I call him that is because I don't want to give his name out. He fussed at my little sister, because she wanted change her mind about what she wanted to do for a living! She is not even out of high school! The man is a complete Idiot. He acts like he is God and we suppose bow down and do everything he tells to do. Nothing we do is good enough, I'm so sick of him. I wish he would leave us the Hell alone. Excuse my language,but I can't take his crap anymore. I wish he would just leave us all alone! Evidently that is way to much to ask from someone!

I Know there is still good men out there, and I hope I will be able to find and marry him, but It will be a long time before I can trust one. ALL the men in my life have been nothing, but sorry little Jerks,to put it politly.

Thirty-one business

I have been doing really good with my Thirty-one business. I had a 600 dollar party and a 230 dollar catalog party. I have some more orders to place too. I am trying to be able to go to the National Conference in Ohio. I am hoping to also earn the next quality kit. I need some of our new products in the new spring Catalog, so I can show them at the partys. Me and my twin sister are hoping to go to the conference, just us two so we can spend some time by ourselves together. It is July 13-16. We will get to tour where they make the products and do the monogramming. I am really excited about it! I hope I can get up the money to go. I am at my sister's right now. I spent a couple of days here this week. I am going to the doctors tomorrow. I also have to go Friday. I got hearing aids. I can hear allot better with them, but Its going to take awhile to get use to them. I hope I can get the left fixed, it makes all machines that are running sound louder than anything else and I can't nothing but the machine running. I really am tired of having to go the doctor all the time. I am going home tonight, my sister will get my tonight after she gets done with class. I don't want to go home I wish I could stay a little longer, but I have to go to the doctors as usual lol. Well, I guess that is all for today.
