SENIOR MOMENT 4 WOMEN

  When me and my friends were teenagers, we played the, "when I get married" game. I declared that I wanted to be a Mom who had all boys. The Lord honored my request. I didn't realize at the time, what dilemmas  I would encounter.  My front yard had no  grass. My sons and the neighbors' boys   played football every afternoon.  Sunday afternoons were noisy because the guys screamed with each touchdown. I hung out on Saturdays at fishing ponds and lakes. My car smelled like a fruit basket. After the soccer games, my sons discarded their empty juice boxes on the back seat.  Father's  Day is coming soon. I wanted  to  forego the neck tie and gift cards.  I was  researching online and I saw  personal  journals and scrapbooks  on sale. I had  already given a mini scrapbook  with  childhood, high school, and adult pictures for Father's Day a few years ago. He enjoyed looking at the old  family p...

The online Mother's Day greeting cards for 2026 are  very unique.  Colors generated by computers and  " AI " seem more vibrant. The graphics are vivid and more concise. There  were multiple lettering styles   of the words Mother,  Mom, and Mama. Most Mothers  should get a loving  feeling when they receive these  cards.  Viewing these letter styles gave me ideas for my next Mother's Day gifts . Endless possibilities for creating scrapbooks, journals, and DIY greeting cards exist. I'll purchase a printer eventually.

I was visiting my local Dollar Store 2 weeks ago. I was  hunting for new gem and crystal stickers , to add to my collection. The addition of bling to your DIY projects is a necessity.  This store  had gotten  in a new feature. Lots of   art and craft   supplies were stacked  on the shelf.  Lovely  unfinished stretched canvas pictures   were  on display. I have never heard of this  craft.   I decided  to get a few of these pictures.  They m ay all be gone  next week. I will watch  some  online videos which   will help me learn  how to  paint on canvas .  I was  ready to experiment  with the canvas painting after  I reviewed a  few  painted stretch canvas pictures.  Here  are the details for my project: MOTHER'S DAY STRETCH CANVAS PICTURE: NEED: Crafter's Square Stretch Canvas ,  Unfinished, 8 inch x 10 inch  ( for ...

I seem to be obsessed with my mini purple tree. I purchased it during the Easter season. This store had these mini trees in three colors: pink, yellow, purple Purple is my fave color, so I only grabbed one purple tree. I regret not getting two or three  of these mini trees. The store no longer has  them in stock.   I used my purple tree for  Easter and added mini Easter ornaments  on it.  I suddenly realized that I could use  the  mini tree for other occasions.  I have been reviewing online catalogs and videos. I needed to get ideas on  ways to use my mini purple tree. My  goal was to get ideas  for Mother's day  gifts. My Mom has  four grown children.  She's received  so many gifts for Mother's  Day in  the past. I'm trying to avoid giving her the same old gifts.  I finally got a  great  idea for using the mini purple  tree. Here is  the details for my Mother's  ...
