Vacation Collage Project



We just went in August on our honeymoon.  (Yeah, we will be married 2 years next month, and saved up for this trip.)  During the trip we were asked to take a Survey about EPCOT upon our return home.  So we signed up, got home and took the survey. Shortly afterwards, the print in the center above arrived.  It's a nice print on watercolor type paper.   Jim also loved the envelope and wanted to frame that as well, which caused us to move out of normal frame range because the envelope unfolded was about 13 by 15 inches.  So we ended up getting a larger frame, (A score at AC Moore for during dollars days.)

However, when we did that, the print in the middle and the envelope looked almost lost in the frame.  So Jim had kept a LOT of paper items from the trip.  So we sorted through them and selected items we thought would looked nice.  I ended up making copies of the covers of the maps, as eventually the maps will go into a scrapbook for the trip. Jim disassembled a pin and I trimmed the front to allow it to fit in.  He had saved the little envelope our room keys came in, a set of fast passes that we never used, and the arcade cards, the maid introduction card, map of the resort, and a coaster from the room.  However I felt it was still missing a layer, and went through the vacation photos.  ALL the vacation photos, to find some picture of us.  Which I then printed out to wallet size and cut out them out.  With that, I used double sided tape to attach the items to the back of the frame.  I could have used glue, but I had tape handy and wanted to get the job finished.

The type of frame I used the glass was gently pressed into place from the top.  We hung it on the wall so we could see it all the time, and plan to do similar project when we do a "big trip" again.

Later~

Things I do to save/earn money these days

Since I have decided to go back to school, I have also taken it upon myself to try and save money, and earn money. 1)  Survey Savvy is a survey company I take survey for. They actually pay in cash rather than redeemable points.   https://www.surveysavvy.com/?m=5669477 2) I am in the process of learning/relearning the art of clipping coupons.  I get a bunch of them from here:  http://www.coupons.com/ .   In addition to that, I am also clipping store specific coupons, like Target, so that I can "stack" the savings by purchasing items on sale, and using a coupon.   I also visit  http://coupondivas.com/  as well as  cartwheel from Target and I just got approved for a Red Card which offers a 5% saving each time I use it.  HOWEVER, it's got a 22% interest rate, so it will need to be payed off each month in full. 3) I am clipping coupons for stuff I know we will eat.  Menu Planning is not our thing, however if the house is stocked wi...

So this is Christmas... Preparation that is.

Well not exactly at this moment.  I still have to sit on the porch and hand out candy to any strange children that meander up the walk in costumes.   However, I just singed up to do The Christmas Pledge with this nice lady who runs this blog somewhere in Canada.  She does a lot of stuff.   Here's the link:  http://www.theartofdoingstuff.com/the-christmas-pledgetake-2/ So I am also annoucing it here, because maybe between the two place I have a shot in hell of getting it done.  So I can focus on my final for Statistics. Now I go hunt down the Holiday Cards.... ~ Jen

Oh boy oh boy...

I've been sick, but this... this is sick the likes of which I have not felt in a while. My stomach has been in the midst of something. I am not sure if it was the new diet, the flu, or something that I have yet to figure out... but my word it was bad. At least I have a pretty bathroom full of ducks.  Though the art in the back moved to another wall. I love this bathroom.  The shelves are from Ikea, and are actually picture ledges. Which turned out the be the perfect size for ducks to sit upon and they are narrow enough that I am not constantly bumping into ducks.  Yes, we have duck current, but it's simple classic yellow ducks and yellow duck rings on the rod.  It's cook, it works, and it is so us. Speaking of projects, we re-purposed another Ikea item.  It was a DVD holder.  I cannot find these any more and I cannot figure out what their name was.  However Jim wanted to use it as a book case and I wanted to toss it.  When I suddenly realized...
