<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Let's talk about the beginning. The beginning of this blog that is. I started this blog as an attempt to help get my name out there, so I could possibly start selling my cards on Etsy. It was a business thing I suppose. The funny thing about business things is that they're not always that fun. You don't always want to sit down and spend spare time on them. However, I found myself enjoying blogging. I enjoy sharing my projects. I, surprisingly, enjoy writing. I enjoy every comment on the blog, every comment or like on Facebook, and get ecstatic when I see that something I've created is getting pinned and pinned over and over again on Pinterest. The card making became less and less of a priority, and I wanted to start focusing on the blog more than anything.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Then I began to feel God impressing on me to start blogging about more than just crafting. I felt I should be sharing more of Him and myself with you all. I wasn't sure how to do it and for months I just let it sit in the back of my head without taking any action.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Back in February, I finally wrote a <a href="http://takingtimetocreate.blogspot.com/2013/02/not-knowing-gods-plans.html" target="_blank">more personal post</a> about God's plans and not knowing them. It's somewhat surreal to read that post now after all that has happened in the past couple of months. About two months after I published that post, our little family started to see <a href="http://takingtimetocreate.blogspot.com/2013/04/change-of-plans-folks-but-gods-plan-is.html" target="_blank">a little bit more of God's plan</a> for our life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

</tbody></table>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As we went through the process of packing up, moving, and unpacking, I started to think about this blog and how it would fit into our new life. Then I started to picture something a little different. A blog that isn't about crafting with a little God on the side but is about so much more than that. I envisioned a blog that's a little more about our family, our adventures and misadventures, our walk with God, our creations, and so much more. A blog that's about us taking time from what can be a crazy life to really stop and smell the roses. It would be a blog with personal posts, posts about God and how wonderful he is, and of course creative posts would be there too, because that's so much of who I am.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I suppose I could accomplish all this with "Taking Time To Create". I could just turn things in a different direction, but with the fresh start I feel like moving has created, something fresh and new is in order here too.</span><br />

Do you miss me? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I must say that I do miss being able to blog more often, but it's been a whirlwind around here! If you read <a href="http://takingtimetocreate.blogspot.com/2013/04/change-of-plans-folks-but-gods-plan-is.html" target="_blank">this post</a>, you know that we're moving. It's quite an undertaking I must say! Having a child to move just adds so much more to it. We're trying to prepare as much as possible without "rocking his world" too much before it's necessary. He does know we're moving to a new place and a new "house", but I'm sure he doesn't quite understand what's really going to happen. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With all the changes and craziness of packing, I wanted to take some some time one day to play with him. I wanted to do something special, and when I came across all the cardboard tubes I'd been saving up, I knew the perfect thing: a marble track! If you've been around for a while, you'll know that I'm a big fan of marble tracks (we made one <a href="http://takingtimetocreate.blogspot.com/2012/03/winter-weekend-adventureand-magnetic.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://takingtimetocreate.blogspot.com/2012/08/keep-em-busy-cereal-box-marble-track.html" target="_blank">here</a>). </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> All we used was duct tape and cardboard tubes from toilet paper and paper towels. Simple.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I added some shoot off tracks toward the end for a little added fun. It was interesting to see which end the marble would come out of.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'll be back at some point with more posts (hopefully before the move), and I promise things will be more consistent here in a few weeks when we get settled. We only have about a week and a half to go!</span></div>

One unexpected phone call was the start of something new that we didn't see coming, but we're so excited about it now. Before I get to that phone call, though, I need to back up a little...</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; line-height: 16.890625px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; line-height: 16.890625px;">Back in January we put our house on the market. It seemed it a good time for us to sell and buy something else with interest rates being so low. We prayed that it would sell if it was God's will. If it didn't sell, we accepted that God must want us to stay in this house. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #111111; line-height: 16.890625px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #111111; line-height: 16.890625px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; line-height: 16.890625px;">Back in February, my husband applied for a new job. It would be great for him with a lot of opportunity for him to advance, AND it was work that he believes he would really enjoy. There's nothing like loving your job, you know? Again, we prayed that he would get the job if it was God's will. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #111111; line-height: 16.890625px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #111111; line-height: 16.890625px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; line-height: 16.890625px;">Fast forward now to about a week and a half ago--the Friday before Easter, Good Friday. We were starting to wonder if our house was going to sell. We had had several showings and some interest but nothing too concrete. Then on that Good Friday, we received a full price offer on our house, and we are closing April 26th! Thank you, Jesus! </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; line-height: 16.890625px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; line-height: 16.890625px;">Now we needed to find a house to buy, but there really wasn't anything the the area we wanted. The day after we received the offer we had thought we found one, but it wouldn't work out after all. Maybe the house God had for us just wasn't on the market yet, so we made plans to stay with my parents after we closed on our house while hoping that something would come on the market. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #111111; line-height: 16.890625px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #111111; line-height: 16.890625px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; line-height: 16.890625px;">Then on Tuesday of last week (April 2nd), my husband received that unexpected call I mentioned earlier. It was the company he applied with back in February. They wanted to interview him the very next day. He interviewed Wednesday and was offered a job right on the spot; it seemed that they had almost decided to hire him before he even interviewed! Since he hadn't heard back for so long, we had thought that maybe God had said "no" to that job, but it turns out it was a "not yet"! </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #111111; line-height: 16.890625px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #111111; line-height: 16.890625px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; line-height: 16.890625px;">Here's the part we didn't expect, though: the job they offered was in Denver and we live in Colorado Springs. For those of you not familiar, that's roughly 60-70 miles away. We were suddenly so thankful that we hadn't found a house yet! Thankful that what we thought could be THE house didn't work out after all.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; line-height: 16.890625px;">So, instead of moving to a different part of Colorado Springs, we are moving 60ish miles away, but it is all working out perfectly (we even found somewhere to live yesterday). We certainly couldn't have planned it this well ourselves. Now we can see clearly that God's hand has been in this all along. From the timing with our house going under contract to us not being able to find a house to buy, God has been putting this plan together for us. The little pieces have been coming together, and we didn't even realize where they were pointing. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Yes, we are a little nervous to be moving from family and everything we've ever known since we were both born and raised in Colorado Springs, but we are also so excited! </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now that we can see this part of God's plan for us and how clearly He has laid it out, we know there's something great in store for us. We can't wait to learn new places, make new friends, spend time with my sister and brother-in-law who already live up there, find a new church home, and learn what else God has planned for us!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was feeling a bit overwhelmed this morning...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A big mess in the house from the weekend</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Laundry that I haven't had time to finish</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A budget that should have already been prepared</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">and then there's the big one...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We're moving out of our house in a little less than four weeks! April was going to be a busy month anyway, so I think I should start with the packing this week. I'm not one to wait until the last minute on things like that. We haven't found another house to buy yet, though, so I'm thinking about what we should pack to put in storage, what we might what to have with us while we're staying at my parents, and what I can go ahead and start packing now that we don't use all that often...my mind is spinning, spinning, spinning!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">While I wouldn't call this a storm compared to what some people go through, it does have me a little worked up, but after reading<a href="http://shereadstruth.com/2013/04/01/prayer-in-the-bible-day-1-prayers-of-praise/"> today's devotion at She Reads Truth</a>, I realized that I need to take a deep breath and start my day right with praise to our God. This chorus from "Praise You In This Storm" by Casting Crowns has been going through my head:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"And I'll praise You in this storm and I will lift my hands</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For You are who You are no matter where I am</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And every tear I've cried You hold in Your hand</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You've never left my side and though my heart is torn</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I will praise you in this storm"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">God is in control and has a plan. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm going to praise Him today and tackle all the projects one by one as I give Him praise!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Oh boy! If there were a character limit for post titles, I certainly would have reached it with that one. These are some long titled books! <i>Oh The Thinks You Can Think!</i> and <i>Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are?</i> were last week's Dr. Seuss books for the Dr. Seuss-A-Thon. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My copies are what you might call "well loved" as you can see above. They're actually my mom's and I'm pretty sure she bought them from the library in one of those sales with the books that are just too worn for them to keep. But, hey, they're still all there and still readable, so I say we keep using them!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Oh, The Thinks You Can Think!</i> Activities</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Recreate the front cover: scan the people, print them out, and cut them out (maybe even do this on magnetic paper or attach them to magnets. Print or draw different shapes and have the people walk around and/or in them. You can talk about the directions they're going: up, down, left, right.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Create a "think story": the book is all about the things you can think up or imagine. Let your kid's draw their own think story or create one by putting together pictures from magazines. You could even scan pictures from books and print them out.</span></li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Color and/or draw some cactus. Discuss how it would feel to really sit on one...probably not the best idea!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Some of the "unlucky" characters on pages 6-7 are trying to build a bridge. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Try building a bridge of your own with things around your house. Legos are an obvious choice, but try other things too; books might be a fun option.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This poor little guy on pages 20-21 has his tail all in knots!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Practice making your own knots with yarn or rope. If it's something you don't want to stay knotted up, rope might be the better option. If you're using rope, you could also untie the knots (this would be fairly difficult with yard though).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Try dotting some i's and cross and crossing some t's of your own.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What a job this guy from pages 26-27 has! All he does is watch bees all day!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Do some bee watching of your own. <i>From a safe distance</i>, watch for bees in your yard or in a local park or garden. One of our local parks has a nice flower garden, so we're going to take a picnic there one day when the flowers starting blooming and keep an eye out for bees. You could do the same with birds. Just be sure that your kids understand how to act around bees, so they don't get stung. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One of these guys from pages 34-35 is missing his shadow!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Check out some shadows of your own. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Go outside and take a look at how different objects make different shadows.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">See how shadows change with the sun's movement. Mark or outline a shadow in the morning and then go back later in the day to see where the shadow has moved.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There's so much potential for activities with any Dr. Seuss book. The key is to use your imagination!</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I made this card a couple weeks ago for a baby shower, and the hardest thing about making this card was finding the font I wanted to use. Seriously, it's <i>that</i> easy!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Print "abcdeBabyfgh" on a piece of white card stock. Mine is almost centered on the page; it's just a little lower than centered. Cut two pieces of coordinating paper the same width of the card and glue them beneath the sentiment. My green piece overlapped the blue piece.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That's it folks!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">More Information About Making This Card:</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This piece was inspired by a card I saw in an older issue of <a href="http://www.papercraftsmag.com/index.html">Paper Crafts Magazine</a> I was flipping through at the library. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The font I used was <a href="http://www.dafont.com/search.php?q=brady+bunch">Brady Bunch</a>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You can <a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-WJE46xcJ12WVJkeUJpRklwbkk/edit?usp=sharing">download a PDF the template I created here</a> to use or to give you an idea of how to line up your text. It will print to a 8.5x11 sheet of paper, and you'll want to cut that piece of paper in half to create your card base.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Happy Card Making!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This week's Dr. Seuss book was <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Zebra-Classic-Seuss/dp/0394800842">On Beyond Zebra!</a> </i>I'm not sure how popular this book is (I didn't find much on Pinterest for it), but it's one of my favorites! It's classic silly Dr. Seuss with a bunch of letters that aren't in the regular alphabet. You'll find them if you keep going past the end of the regular alphabet...they're on beyond 'Z is for Zebra'. There are new letters and new creatures to discover "On Beyond Zebra"!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Since there weren't many activities to be found on Pinterest, we thought up our own: "On Beyond Zebra Hopscotch". It's like regular hopscotch, but instead of numbers in each square, we drew the letters and some of the creatures from the book.</span><br />

<b><i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Other Ideas:</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Take the book to the zoo and try to find similar animals to those in the book. Zoo not your thing? Try searching online or maybe get a book or two with lots of animals from the library (this option is FREE!). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Try drawing the creatures and letters on paper instead of in hopscotch squares. </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is an eeaaasy DIY that you can do in just a few minutes! Quickly transform a plain bag into something beautiful!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here's how to make your very own:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You'll need a plain paper gift bag (you can find a 2 pack at the dollar store), patterned or colored paper, and tape.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1r0gtXQbtMLtGXfiFbT-bG1sptKn3mMA2pSclGNoCXtqvL55Q4vjM1zbwpZZiaMphG3P5lo0bLhgOU8GMWE45qtMb5Hlf9JGWKTxXejAhV6O6gW7xKXieGUYWHCMGtHshtBx8obxSJnc/s1600/Layered+Gift+Bag.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1r0gtXQbtMLtGXfiFbT-bG1sptKn3mMA2pSclGNoCXtqvL55Q4vjM1zbwpZZiaMphG3P5lo0bLhgOU8GMWE45qtMb5Hlf9JGWKTxXejAhV6O6gW7xKXieGUYWHCMGtHshtBx8obxSJnc/s400/Layered+Gift+Bag.JPG" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Start with your plain paper bag and measure the width.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTTwEWouEkg20EkZiHyWlhVdIc1HY5getrxrOquApOzNC2JkIQNSEgOMtQxP-woVL__LvErhJJ4UqOHjN_DWGLMifHAnrXmAuVcrPz2QZAiErl6qEttj2K8orqzZLwI-bBOnoHSlX6waQ/s1600/Layered+Gift+Bag+(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTTwEWouEkg20EkZiHyWlhVdIc1HY5getrxrOquApOzNC2JkIQNSEgOMtQxP-woVL__LvErhJJ4UqOHjN_DWGLMifHAnrXmAuVcrPz2QZAiErl6qEttj2K8orqzZLwI-bBOnoHSlX6waQ/s400/Layered+Gift+Bag+(1).JPG" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Cut 8 pieces of paper that measure 2.5-3 inches high and the same inches wide as your bag. You'll use four pieces for each side.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you're going to scallop the edges like I did, do that on one edge of each piece. I used a paper punch, but you could also use scissors that create a decorative edge.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Optional:</i> To create more dimension, roll each piece, so they don't just lay flat.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Start at the bottom and tape each piece/layer in place making sure to line up the edges and space them as evenly as possible. I used a few "loops" of tape on the back of each layer.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Follow these steps for each side of your back, and then you'll have your own layered gift bag!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Aren't they adorable? I'm so excited about how they turned out! They're a version of the "Small Wooden Trucks" in the book </span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Made To Play</i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> by Joel Henriques. You can find info about the book </span><a href="http://madebyjoel.com/madetoplay" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;" target="_blank">here </a><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">and Joel's blog </span><a href="http://madebyjoel.com/" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;" target="_blank">here</a><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. I'd really recommend at least stopping by his blog, but the book is definitely worth the buy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I used his templates but did them on cardboard instead of wood. You could easily make your own designs too (I'm just not that great at that kind of thing) :-) Then instead of using a wood burner to create the details I used a Sharpie after I applied watercolor paints. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">They're super cool, but the main reason I made these is because most of them are small enough to fit into plastic Easter eggs!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<a data-pin-config="beside" data-pin-do="buttonPin" href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftakingtimetocreate.blogspot.com%2F2013%2F03%2Fsunday-supper-romans-12.html&media=http%3A%2F%2F2.bp.blogspot.com%2F-H1NlQLa5ixg%2FUTDeIVlSm-I%2FAAAAAAAAAJM%2FphquPHjz7JA%2Fs400%2FRomans%2B12.10.jpg&description=Love%20each%20other%20with%20genuine%20affection!%20Romans%2012%3A10%20www.takingtimetocreate.blogspot.com"><img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a> </div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When I was little, we lived next door to my grandparents. I loved being able to walk just a few feet to visit them. Another thing I remember is the Sunday Suppers we would have after Sunday morning church. It wasn't an every week thing but it happened often and was a nice time for the family to get together. Later, we would have similar Sunday Suppers almost every week with a family that we were close friends with. They were wonderful times full of friendship, family, and fellowship. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've wanted to create something similar here at Taking Time To Create. A time when we can just "get to know each other". Or at least you can get to know me a little better. I imagine they'll be kind of random posts, and I can't guarantee it'll will be a weekly thing, but I hope you'll join me for a little Sunday Supper every now and then.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Not familiar with the word "supper"? Growing up I didn't really think about it. It was just part of our vocabulary. When I was first getting to know my husband, though, he wasn't really familiar with the word and wondered why we didn't just say "lunch" or "dinner". It tends to refer to the evening meal, but we would also use it to refer to the afternoon or lunchtime meal if it was more of a gathering. It's one of those comfort words for me. It reminds me of my mom, my grandma, family and just good times. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today, I want to share a little about Romans 12. As I mentioned in <a href="http://takingtimetocreate.blogspot.com/2013/02/not-knowing-gods-plans.html">this post</a>, I'm trying to catch up on my <a href="http://shereadstruth.com/">She Reads Truth</a> reading. Day 5 of Soul Detox was all about Romans 12 and focusing on God's truth. Verses 1 and 2 (but 2 especially) have been ingrained in my mind for as long as I can remember like this:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.</span><sup class="versenum" style="background-color: white; font-size: 0.75em; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; vertical-align: top;"> </sup><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." KJV</span></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Sometimes it's good to read in a different version of the Bible. Verses may become more clear or stick out in different ways than they have before. Take the second half of verse 2 in the New Living Translation:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"...let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think."</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This gives me a new perspective on this verse. It's not so much about trying to change the way I think myself but more about letting <b>God</b> transform the way I think. This makes so much more sense, because, of course, He'll have much better success at this than I would on my own.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1f8zgGhrRo9IliRugO_YMJpEry4rDOTp-7awa1a0oJfQVpcN3fRqK7b5jTaWPO0zClBCTVIsJbQKswJamc5QT0zSZslgRugzVSuHijfwPax_PitUQefYeZLC6ZHTd6d3fhtbsc-du0TA/s1600/Romans+12.10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1f8zgGhrRo9IliRugO_YMJpEry4rDOTp-7awa1a0oJfQVpcN3fRqK7b5jTaWPO0zClBCTVIsJbQKswJamc5QT0zSZslgRugzVSuHijfwPax_PitUQefYeZLC6ZHTd6d3fhtbsc-du0TA/s320/Romans+12.10.jpg" width="256" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Some other verses brought to light for me that we need to be thinking about each other-- loving each other!</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other." </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Romans 12:10 NLT</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We as believers need each other. Others need you and you need them.</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"And since we are all one body in Christ, we belong to each other, and each of us needs all the others."<br />Romans 12:5b NLT</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This isn't talking about just your friends or the members of your particular church. This is <i>every</i> believer. <i>Everywhere</i>. An amazing thought that someone across the globe could need you today. Could need me today. That's how I'd like to live my life. Love everyone with the thought in mind that they may need me in some way or another. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Today's book is </span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Tooth Book</i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. It's a very cute book and a good way to introduce little ones to the idea of their teeth falling out to be replaced by new ones someday. After we read it, my little guy decided that he wanted his new teeth--now. There are still a few years to go on that one, but I'm glad he likes the idea!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Everyone brush your teeth together.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Make teeth impressions in something soft (but edible) like bread.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bite different kinds of foods and check out the different kinds of bite marks. Your bit marks look different in a pieces of bread than they do in something harder like a carrot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Head to the zoo and try to see as many different kinds of teeth as you can. You could also look through animal books or through some of your kids' toys for this activity.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Look through photo albums and check out everyone's teeth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Visit the dentist. I know this doesn't sound like a fun activity, but this book may be a good way to introduce and get your kids' warmed up to the idea of the dentist. It'll at least open the door to the conversation about taking care of your teeth, etc.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Funny story. My dad does a funny thing every time he goes on vacation. Well, sometimes, it's just if he has a camera in his hand. He looks down and takes a picture of his feet. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sometimes, I even find a picture of his feet on my camera if I've left it sitting around. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Silly guy. I guess he wants to see all the places his feet have been. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today's book, <i>The Foot Book</i>, reminded me of this little story. It's all about the different feet you meet. Super cute! And the activities? Well, you don't have to do just activities that are labeled "Dr. Seuss" activities. Any foot activity will do. Here are a few that I found when searching Pinterest:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The possibilities on this one are endless! Have your kids try feeling all kinds of things with their feet: shaving cream, water, water beads (like the ones in <a href="http://www.modernparentsmessykids.com/2012/03/creative-play-easter-basket-idea-water.html">this post</a>), dried foods (beans, rice, flour), or maybe even some mud if you're feeling adventurous (and can do that outside).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I haven't tried the play dough recipe Vanessa uses, but I really like <a href="http://www.sweetsugarbelle.com/blog/2011/12/gingerbread-playdough/">this recipe from The Sweet Adventures of Sugar Belle</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You don't have to use just dinosaurs for this activity either. Any toys with feet will work. You could even use your or your kiddos' feet!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This last one reminds me of the story I told about my dad. I guess he's on to something!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here's the quote from the original pin: "<span style="background-color: white; color: #211922; line-height: 17.546875px; text-align: start;">A collection of photographs document a British couple's travels over six years by just showing their feet. The series takes on a twist with the addition of a third pair of feet--their daughter." There isn't a link attached to a pin but the photographer's website is in the comments. <a href="http://www.tomrobinsonphotography.com/feet-first/">You can visit it here</a>. There are a lot more of the "feet" pictures. This is <i>such a cool</i> idea! You could try this on your next vacation or maybe even just visit some interesting places around your town and take some pictures. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Other fun ideas:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Cut sponges in the shapes of feet and sponge paint with them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Make molds of your kids' feet like we did <a href="http://takingtimetocreate.blogspot.com/2012/12/handprint-santa-ornaments.html">our son's hands here</a>. You could paint them or leave them plain.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you're anything like me, you get home from a vacation and can't remember all those fun little moments or even exactly what you did on each day. Well, when we went to Disneyland back in October of last year, I came up with the solution: this handy dandy Vacation Journal! Now, you could just grab a notebook and use that, but what fun would that be? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With a little work in a word processing program, you can make one too. It's easy peasy. Here's how:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Start in a word processing program like Microsoft Word. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Change the page orientation to landscape and format the page so that it is in two columns. Later, you'll cut each page in half, so each column will be a page.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Start making your pages! I started with a cover page. You can search <a href="http://images.google.com/">Google Images</a> to find something that represents where you're going. I was lucky enough to find an image that had '2012' in it. Perfect for our 2012 trip to Disneyland! </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYYK3vqVAAGhlsUQ2aA2xNghIrxqR7Ap0oFpi3r9hJ_UgE_U40CQ0mH3EYjmSoqjjaofw99rP-HCyy8hckMz4BSFHfeEVKHfRUWg70ThfJFF5ESyoJd1AVsCn5dtgH3TIB_OS_WyPU4SU/s1600/PICT0126+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYYK3vqVAAGhlsUQ2aA2xNghIrxqR7Ap0oFpi3r9hJ_UgE_U40CQ0mH3EYjmSoqjjaofw99rP-HCyy8hckMz4BSFHfeEVKHfRUWg70ThfJFF5ESyoJd1AVsCn5dtgH3TIB_OS_WyPU4SU/s400/PICT0126+copy.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Then I added a page for each day of our trip. Again, Google Images was great for this, but I also used a lot of the clip art in MS Word.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Once you're finished designing your pages, print them out and cut them in half to create separate pages. Stack them together in the correct order, so you can bind them together.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To bind my pages, I just used a series of brads.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Be sure to get them nice and flat on the back. A small hammer works really well to flatten them out. Just hammer gently.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx2rSurMtgTL8bP3fzCISJliwTIYkrddoqbmiTzjrS86_8Mfh3AYwJRtSzfBNR5W62av_IQu0y4bYFKTezj-Q-Ol5_sRn9l2thXx79o8l9lM0DiGHIv3I4mtVCNliHShRaOrFu-FdCHf8/s1600/PICT0131.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx2rSurMtgTL8bP3fzCISJliwTIYkrddoqbmiTzjrS86_8Mfh3AYwJRtSzfBNR5W62av_IQu0y4bYFKTezj-Q-Ol5_sRn9l2thXx79o8l9lM0DiGHIv3I4mtVCNliHShRaOrFu-FdCHf8/s400/PICT0131.JPG" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you're concerned about the backs of the brads catching on something, you could glue a piece of paper or card stock to the back to cover them up. I didn't have any issues with them being exposed though.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This week's books were <i>One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish</i> and <i>Green Eggs and Ham</i>. Did anyone have a favorite? Mine most definitely was <i>One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish</i>. After this week, I may have decided that I do not like <i>Green Eggs and Ham</i>. The book that is. I just couldn't get too excited about it. I know it's one of the more popular ones and many people love it, but I just like some of his other books a lot more. Don't send me too many mean emails. Just kidding. I know you wouldn't do that, right?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These fun hand shaped fish that I first saw <a href="http://vanessadewey.com/2012/02/22/dr-seuss-crafts/" target="_blank">here</a> were fun to make.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Another fun idea that we didn't have time for this week would be to visit an aquarium or even a fish store. I think we'll save that one for <i>Mcelligot's Pool.</i></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This book isn't just about fish, though. It's about there being funny things everywhere, so if you really want to make an event out of it, you could try to find as many strange animals as possible by visiting the zoo or even searching for pictures online.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Since I wasn't overly enthusiastic about this one, we still haven't done any activities for it (maybe Sunday), BUT I have a list of fun things for you to try nonetheless. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You can of course make green eggs and ham. There is no end of ideas on how to actually do this, so I encourage you to <a href="http://pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=make+green+eggs+and+ham" target="_blank">check out Pinterest</a> or just Google it. I personally decided not to go this route. I was afraid that either my son would not eat the eggs and then be ruined on eggs forever, or he would like them green so much that I would have to make them green all the time (that second one actually happened with my parents for a while--sorry Mom and Dad!). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Since Easter is quickly approaching, you could do an egg hunt that the kid(s) have to find/pick out <i>only</i> the green eggs. If you have older kids, you could write rhyming words on the top and bottom of each egg for the kids to match up (<a href="http://www.obseussed.com/2012/03/green-eggs-and-ham-activities-and-free.html" target="_blank">something like this</a>).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You could talk about different foods that are green, or maybe have a green dinner/lunch.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This last one is the cutest idea that I found: "Pin The Yolk On The Egg". It works just like it sounds and more info and pictures can be found <a href="http://katherinemariephotography.com/blog/archives/4935" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

I know I am! <a href="http://takingtimetocreate.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-household-binder-free-printables.html" target="_blank">Yesterday</a>, I shared how I organized sections for To Do's & Calendar, Food, and Home Maintenance. I think those are probably some of the big ones for most of us.Today we're going to cover the Finances, Activities, and Health & Fitness sections. If you need a list of what you'll need to put your binder together, check out <a href="http://takingtimetocreate.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-household-binder-free-printables.html" target="_blank">Part 1</a>.</span></div>

<br />If
you have a budget that you update and fill out on paper, you can put it
here. We’re working on transitioning our budget to the forms from Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University (we're in the class now). If you have something like that for your budget, this is a great place for them.</span></div>

<br />You
could potentially split up these categories, but I found that ideas for
one sounded like fun for the other as well, so I combined them. Flying
kites for example could be a fun thing to do as a family or on a date. <span style="font-size: small;">For lots of fun date ideas check out <a href="http://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2012/01/50-fun-and-cheap-date-ideas.html" target="_blank">this post from Six Sister’s Stuff</a>; some would work great as family outings too. </span></span></div>

<br />These are places for me to jot down ideas that I’d really like to try
during playtime and learn time with my son. I
mostly use my Pinterest boards for this, but this is where I go
if something pops into my head, and I don’t want to get on the computer.
I just stick a piece of notebook paper after the covers to write down
little notes. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You've seen them around--the Family Household Binders. I've pinned them, read about them, and have been dying to put one together for quite a while now. Well, I finally did it! Now before you say, "I've seen this before," keep reading. Yes, it's a household binder like many others, but the difference here is that I'm providing the printables for FREE! Yep. Just because I like you that much!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Let's get starting putting our binder together, shall we? Here's what you'll need:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">At least a 1 inch binder but bigger would be better. I squeezed everything into a 1 inch but will be getting a bigger one when I have a chance.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Page protectors</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Section dividers. The ones with pockets are great for this!</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today, we're going to go through the first three sections: To Do's & Calendar, Food, and Home Maintenance. Let's start with the first section, because, well, the beginning is a great place to start!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I stumbled on the <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Declutter Calendar from My Simpler Life, so I printed it and put it in the Daily Household Items section too. Yes, I did accidentally print the 2012 version. No, I don't get these items done everyday, but it's great to have if you have a few extra minutes in your day. Extra minutes you say? It happens..sometimes...maybe. Okay, rarely, but when it happens, I'll be ready!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Like the Daily Cleaning Items list, I place this list in a page protector, so I can reuse it every week. Martha's weekly cleaning list was very detailed, but I wanted mine broken into days of the week. Not everything gets done every week, but it's a good reminder, so things don't go months without being done (dusting light fixtures for example).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Another fun item to add to the Weekly Household Items section is the <a href="http://www.home-storage-solutions-101.com/organized-home.html">52 Weeks to an Organized Home Challenge</a> from Home Storage Solutions 101. Some of the items overlap with the decluttering calendar in the Daily Household Items section, but when that happens, you can take a break!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">...please let me know. Since it's such a custom cover, I'm considering making printables on an individual basis for a small fee (like a dollar or two) through my Etsy shop. I haven't decided for sure yet, though, so let me know if that's something I should do (leave a comment or <a href="mailto:takingtimetocreate@gmail.com" target="_blank">email me</a>). I'd love to be able to share the cover too!</span><br />
