How to Make a Snowmobile


 I've upped my crafting game dramatically and made a Snowmobile.


 Seriously. I made a Snowmobile!! No joke. I'll show you:

He he he. It's a Snow Mobile. Wanna make one? It's so super simple I feel silly doing a tutorial. 

You will need:

Wicker Wreath
White Paint
Silver Glitter
White Paper
Invisible Stretch Elastic
Hot Glue

~Make some snowflakes of different sizes. Here a nice video:

~Paint your wreath with white paint and sprinkle glitter on it while the paint is still wet.
~Attach snowflakes to pieces (long, short, medium) of elastic with a little bit of tape or a dab of hot glue. 
~Use hot glue to attach the top of the elastics to the wreath.

~Cut two long elastics and hot glue them on opposite sides of the wreath so that they cross in the middle and with a piece of tape, or little metal hook, you can attach the mobile to the ceiling.

Told you it was super easy. :-)

If you've ever wondered what I might look like when Snowmobiling:


Yeah, I've got some New Years Resolutions to work on.

Nu Skin ageLOC Transformation Review


I am a really lucky gal for getting a chance to review this product. Now, bear in mind, I'm only 30....but I am truly noticing a difference in the anti-aging properties of the ageLOC Transformation formula!! I have noticed more even skin tone, softer and more supple skin, less discoloration in my skin, a definite reduction in pore size, and great increase in hydration.

The Transformation Set Includes:

ageLOC Gentle Cleanse & Tone
ageLOC Radiant Day SPF 22
ageLOC Transforming Night
ageLOC Future Serum

Nu Skin totes this set to be, "a powerful lineup of four products, ageLOC™ Transformation is our most advanced anti-aging system ever, delivering unsurpassed anti-aging benefits. This complete and comprehensive skin care system cleanses, purifies, renews, moisturizes, and reveals younger looking skin in eight ways." 
Those Eight Ways are:
(I've highlighted the ways I felt the most) 

1.Youthful skin structure 
2. Smooth skin texture 
3. Even skin tone 
4. Reduced appearance of lines and wrinkles
5. Radiant skin 
6. Reduced appearance of pore size
7. Reduced skin discoloration 
8. Hydrated skin
Now, I'm not saying I didn't get benefits from the #'s 1 & 4.......but, starting out fairly young *ahem* I didn't really have many problems with wrinkles and lines. And, I think of my skin as still youthful. But, I have no doubt that this product will have a positive effect on anyone looking to solve those kinds of trouble spots. I've used other high end facial products before and of all the different varieties, I have seen the best results and been the most pleased with this brand.

Of the four products that come in the Transformation set, I am particularly fond of the Future Serum. Boy, you can feel and see that product working the second you put it on. If you can only afford to get one item of the ageLOC Transformation set....make it the serum, that product is fantastic!!

Cat Valentine Success!!

Yay!! Danny likes his early Valentine!! The Munchkin and I decided we couldn't wait until Valentine's Day to give it to him....the grass was ready for some trimming from a kitty. He won't admit he likes it, of course. Kitties don't show their appreciation.....would Cleopatra thanks her servants for fanning her?? No. Adoration is demanded in the mind of a Cat. For now, we'll indulge our prince. :-)
