Today's Celebrations

Today is "Take a Walk in the Park " Day

Most parts of the country are enjoying warmer temps and sunshine.

Take advantage of it, grab the kids, the husband, a friend, or just yourself, and GO.

You will feel so much better later, and don't forget your camera.

Today is "National Make up Your Own Holiday" day.

If you could make up your own holiday just for today, what would it be?

Mine would be  "Sandy is Star for a day" and I would get lots of presents and cash and be treated like the star I truly should be!

Make a Journal Jar.


(photo from whatshappeningatmyhouse.wordpress.com)
To assemble your Journal Jar, print the colorful journal prompts pages. Cut apart each printed strip, and fold it so that the colored graphics are folded to the outside, with the journal assignment on the inside. Or, as I did, I wrote out my own prompts.

Fill the jar with journal slips, and attach a free printable gift tag. Add a cute journal and pen for a great gift idea.

I use me journal jar every day. Mine is simpler than the one in the photo. I just use a plain jar with no decoration, but after seeing hers, I think I will make mine more colorful.

You can find journal prompts all over the internet. Here are some of my fave spots.
