Busy Bug Babble - SUBSCRIPTION BUTTON

Happy Tuesday!  I was just doing a little blog surfing and noticed that a lot of your fabulous blogs have no subscription field :-(    My subscription box is to the right, top of this page if you would like to receive them in your emil box as soon as I post them!   I would love to receive your posts in my email, as soon as you post them but there is nowhere to subscribe on your blogs :-( .  I use FEEDBURNER, which is free.  You can google FEEDBURNER for Blogger or whatever you use, follow the direction on how to set it up,  and get a Subscription button code to put on your blogs.  This way I can get your POSTS :-)!!!!   If you do put a subscription field on your blog, please, please, please let me know so that I can subscribe!  I would love to get your posts directly in my email box! Have a fabulous day!

Project 65 - PRIMARY "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU"

Hi everyone, I made these cards way ahead of time for my little (Church) Primary Class for their birthdays!  I am also entering them over at Robyn's Blog Hop. I'm always doing thing at the last minute, but this year I'm taking a different approach!  Inside the gift bags there is a pair of socks inside a Cupcake Wrapper, topped with a chocolate heart.  You can see how I put them together HERE.  I used the Cricut Cupcake Wrapper Cartridge to cut the wrappers.

This is what the wrappers look like with the sock.

Project 63 - FAMILY

I couldn't post anything yesterday because my internet was down!  It's up and running today, Yeah!   I purchased the supplies for this project from Ben Franklin Crafts.  I helped a neighbor to make these for her family for Christmas.  She used their last names instead of the word "Family".  The ribbon just gives it that finished elegant look!  What do you think?

Busy Bug Babble - Family Home Evening "Kinect" Style

Ohh my....how I LOVE THE 360 KINECT!!!!  Ok, so I purchased the Kinect for the family gift for Christmas.  We haven't had a chance to use it until today!  By the way, if you are looking for Dance Central, (it was sold out everywhere) check your local Game Stop.

On Mondays in my Family we have Family Home Evening, where we have a church lesson and then we either play games, talk about family things or just do something together as a family.  Dad did the lesson today then we played Dance Central.  It surely got us off the couch.  I haven't done this much dance moves since I was dating my DH (years ago!)  If you have the Kinect, or you are thinking about getting one....this is the game to get!  I also got Zumba...now I have my own personal dance and exercise coach at home whenever I need them.  My muscles are aching but we had such a good time. Here is video of how it works...

Happy Monday.
