ATTENTION! LOTS TO SAY AND ITS IMPORTANT!

Okay, so as you may notice I have just added two new tabs one is called Just A Thought which is going to be about my thoughts about everything! And what you can do is comment on what you might want to know!The next one is called the No Face Campaign. And what that is is a campaign that I thought of long ago when I heard about how someone could find out your info just from your picture! I thought I could do this when I get my YouTube someday, but today I realized hey why not now? So what you do is to NEVER show your face on a YouTube video and give yourself a different name (I even thought up my own!) when doing so. On that tab you can join, I don't know how but I'll find out. Anyway I'm very upset about Japan.  You may have heard about the tsnami and earthquake that happened last Friday.  Well, yesterday I was watching my local news when they had a story on Japan about how we may not get our cars and electronics because of it. I wanted to litterly push my hand through the t.v and give the reporter a piece of my mind .PEOPLE ARE DYING, PEOPLE MISSING, THOUSANDS DEAD! AND ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS YOUR 30'' T.V AND IPOD??!! HOW DARE THEY?! Excuse me, I have been known best for my temper. Don't get me wrong, America is doing a fine job sending water and stuff like that (no sarcasm intended). So maybe I could hold a fundraiser with my new campaign, hmm...... Oh! and mother has a blog too! its called conniescraftroom enjoy!

Easier said than done

Today my mother was talking to my older brother about a miniature mouse playhouse they're doing. Well, suddenly I got this idea to make my own miniature scene. Lately, I have been interested in mermaids, I use my computer time to look at The Little Mermaid (my new favorite Disney princess, it used to be Belle).  My daddy told me once that when I was little I used to love dolphins and I quite love those bottle nose dolphins today.  Anyway, I plan to do my miniature mermaid scene using a wood base and a glass case over it.  It seems like it will be a hard task, but I'm going to try it. 

Knitting for Charity

  When I was much, much younger, one of my aunts took me for knitting lessons.  I'm sure I didn't fully appreciate it at the time, but now as a stressed out homeschooling mother of five, I love the calm that comes from sitting down with a ball of yarn and the almost mindless repetition of my knitting needles.  Very relaxing.  Anyway, I decided to kill two birds with one stone (not that I would ever kill birds, with a stone or anything else for that matter!) by resurrecting my old knitting skills and doing something of good for others.  I knit up a bunch of scarves and sent them off to a charity called Knit with Love.  This group distributes donated items (scarves, blankets, beanies, and other knitted clothing) to people in need.  I love the sound of that and I can't wait to knit up another box full of items to send off.  I'm going to try my hands at hats next...wish me luck!

War in Libya

This war in Libya is for sure an outrage! I think that the only reason there is a big fight there is because probably  people there thought they could get what they wanted like the people in Cairo.  But the people there only got what they wanted from war and many people died because of it. I also realized that people paid some attention to Cairo but to me not as much attention as Libya why? Well I think because that's where all the oil is maybe that's why people are so upset because it cost more for oil shipments and more at the pump. I'll be honest I was always cringing when on the news they would talk about gas going up in fact I still worry but I really must learn to stop. One things for sure though, somethings going to happen good or bad I don't know but I have a feeling it's just the beginning of things.

The knit along and are Bratz really for girls?

Today we did a knit along. It was just my mom, my sister and me. At first we were going to knit little dolls, but they were too hard so we quit. We had also planned on making little bugs for my baby brother, but that was vetoed also.  In the end we decided on making American doll sweaters. Now on to other topics.  Are those Bratz dolls really for girls?  Earlier today, my sister and I were sorting through our items for  Goodwill, when I came across our only Bratz doll:  Yasmin.  I started commenting on how they were so different from our Barbie dolls.  For one thing their heads are different, another thing is their wardrobe.  I swear, Bratz are the most half dressed dolls in the land.  Barbies are somewhat similar.  I don't get how they say these dolls are for girls.  Is this really how they think girls should look and dress? blah,blah,blah! So tell me, which do you think are better, Barbie or Bratz or maybe neither?
