Space Balls.

Another project that I tackled while me dad was here...

Space Balls.
(or so one of our friends called them)

I originally copied them from this pic on pinterest.

They remind me of Allium flowers, but I liked the all white look better. I think I could have achieved the colored look by dipping them into a shallow dish of food coloring.

Didn't figure out what it's made of yet? Here's a closer look.

Styrofoam balls and Q-tips.

It just so happens, I had an extra box of Q-tips on hand [because my pregnant brain forgot that we DIDN'T need any during one of my shopping trips]. I don't forget everything though. In fact, I remember an old answer from a years-ago game of Trivial Pursuit. The question was, "What does the Q in Q-tip stand for?" Out of the multiple choice questions, my guess was Quality. I was right! Bazinga. That's probably the one and only time I can remember getting a question correct without any help from my family. Maybe that's why I can remember it. Success!

Have you made anything lately out of supplies you already had around the house?

Show me, show me!

Trick or Treat!

Happy Halloween!

Here's a look back at a few of my favorite candy-grabbing outfits.

1985- 17 months

Back when neighbors would make bags of popcorn, 

and Nestle crunch bars were still in a red wrapper.

1993- 9 years old

If you're not laughing now, wait just one second.

2011- 27 years old, 33.5 weeks pregnant

I can't wait for next year when little Mini will start the amazing tradition of dressing up in something ridiculously cute/funny while stocking up on sweets. 

Be safe and have a great holiday!
