Dana is...bringing her own sunshine had a white Christmas and is now back at work....

Since life is so precious I want to tell everyone that is important in my life that I love them and I am thankful for them (read all 8 entries…)
Not sure.. 2 years ago

If this entry should go here, but I think it should.

Spent some time this weekend with my mother and sister. We have not actually done anything together in a long time. We have chatted and eaten together, but no projects. I love doing whatever I can with the two of them, but I really enjoy the simple little projects. Before the Holiday I had bought a set of shrinky dinks. And Sat. we spent about 3 hours tracing and coloring! It was SOO much fun. It was like time stopped and we laughed and enjoyed every moment. And we all told the others how much we loved them. It’s a moment that will be cherished forever. And aren’t my ‘dinks’ cute?! lol They shrank A LOT! They are so adorable, if I do say so myself…

Among the things my daughters treasure

Are some shrinky dinks we made decades ago. It is indeed wonderful to have memories, to enjoy the simple things, to love your time together. We never outgrow this.

wow

I have ran across a lot of people who don’t know what they are! Hard for me to NOT remember them. I did a lot of these as a kid.

You have a special plastic that you can trace a picture or draw one (I am a tracer not an artist!) then you color it with colored pencils and then you cut it out and put them in the oven and bake them for about 2 min. and they get hard and shrink waaaaay down. you can make key chains or charm bracelets or whatever. They’re a lot of fun!

busy, but good. haven’t had time to make up any random quotes recently ;-).
