DIY Christmas Ornament
Whenever I look back on a memory in my childhood, most of the settings in my stories take place in a daycare I grew up in. I actually met my best friend Danielle there when we were still in diapers, so you could safely say at this moment me and her have known each other for 25 years.

To pass our time in the winter break ...

The Grinch Cookies
Your a mean one, Mr Grinch! Just saying that gives me so many childhood memories, watching it when it was a cartoon. YES! I am that old where I had to actually wait for it to air on Cable Television. In my time (I'm 25 but yet I feel older) we just had the cartoon movie, and it in my eyes is the timeless classic version. Although, Jim Carey did an amazing job with his real life movie where I actually ended up buying as many as 3 DVD's since it premiered. Somehow the disc gets lost or scratched. ...
