Antiquing

Bright Lights is back!!
thursday august 7 marked the first meeting of our new season of bright lights!!
The little things
so the summer is basically over. this was the first summer in a long time that we stayed home rather than taking a vacation. i must say, we survived..hah.
A Prelude & A Party
so much has happened this past week and i’m taking a risk by attempting to fit everything into one post. oh well. here i go.
DIY Gift Wrapping
there are so many unique ways to wrap a gift. by using creativity and resourcefulness, you never know what you might fabricate. i had a few candles to wrap and resolved to package them in something other than your typical gift bag, thus constructing the following homemade “gift-holders”.
Homeschool Convention
this past weekend we attended the AFHE homeschool convention in phoenix. this time, however, we managed a booth for abiding radio.
Bright Lights Banquet
recently, we had a lesson in bright lights about gratitude. when discussing the importance of expressing appreciation to others, we decided to throw a banquet for the families of all the girls. this was also a great opportunity to convey all that we have learned throughout the past couple of years. so the date was set…
Newspaper Butterfly
we bought a couple of paper-mache butterflies from the craft store with the intention of painting them. however, i soon changed plans and decided to paper-mache the butterfly with an old newspaper and hang it in my room.
Mississippi Mud
mississippi mud brownies. a.k.a. the best dessert that ever entered my mouth. no joke.
Upcycled Headbands
i was recently going through my closet and found a skirt which was definitely too short for me and probably wouldn’t even fit my sister. at first i thought i’ll throw or give it away, but then i realized the possibilities of what i could turn old skirt into.
