Hello friends! I am so excited because I will be Co-Hosting a blog party that Jen from JENerally Informed and Celeste from Leapfrog and Lipgloss host. They have invited me to be a Co-Host for this next challenge that will last for the next two weeks. There are different themes that they each pick and you then decide what you want to do for the challenge. It's a fun party and you can share on different social media and you can link it up on the blog. I will have it on my blog starting this Friday.
Here is a sample of two of the challenges that I shared on Instagram and then I linked it up to their blog party.

Hello friends! I have started a new crocheted scarf to donate for our annual Fall/Christmas sale. I found a really nice pattern that I like on Pinterest. To see the pattern you can click HERE.
I decided to change the pattern a little and not make the scarf as wide as the pattern. This scarf can be made in multiples of three and instead of chaining 26, I made a chain of 21. I also changed it by not making all 3DC in the scarf but making a combination of 2DC 3DC 2DC. The yarn that I picked out to use did not have any label on it. I think the yarn is probably Red Heart and the crochet hook is US size H.
This is a fun scarf to make and something different than I have usually made in the past. I enjoy changing patterns around a little bit. Do change patterns around to your liking?
Note: 2DC stands for two double crochet
3DC stands for three double crochet
The pattern that I am using is made in US terminology.

Week 37 - Wet n Wild Wildshine Nail Polish
Hello friends, I hope you all had a nice weekend. Welcome to week 37 of Makeup Monday. Today I would love to share with you this nail polish I bought recently by Wet n Wild. I was shopping and wanted a new polish and picked this up because it was on sale and it cost $1.99! The color is called 455B Tickled Pink. Well I have to tell you that I love this polish and it lasted for one week on my nails without chipping. I did my own manicure and the polish went on smoothly too. I would definitely recommend this nail polish and I hope you like it too. I sometimes enjoy doing my own nails instead of going to the nail salon. I find it very relaxing and I save money too.

Hello friends! Many of you know that the crochet/knit group that I belong to at my church we crochet and knit all year long for our annual Fall and Christmas Fair we have each year. I have belonged to this group for about 12 years and the sister that runs the group has organized us to knit and crochet squares for a charity called KasCare's Knitting For Charity Project, knit-a-square.
We are all busy knitting and crocheting these squares that will eventually be made into blankets to help keep a cold AIDS orphan warm. The squares will then be collected and packed in a box and then sent to Africa. Once the squares are sent off then they will make the squares into blankets.
The photos of these squares are some of them I have already made. I have crocheted about 5 so far and I'm still making more of them.
For the size of the squares I crocheted I made them 8 inches x 8 inches using the half double crochet stitch.
I'm happy to be crocheting these squares and I feel good to be involved doing this charity work.

Hi friends! We have been making smoothies in my house a lot lately and I'd love to share with you this easy recipe to make one.
Slim Fast Fruit Smoothie Recipe
Ingredients:
8 oz. - unsweetened almond milk
1/2 scoop Slim Fast - the fruit is sweet so you don't need as much slim fast
3 ice cubes
1 tablespoon frozen cherries - or fresh
1 tablespoon frozen blueberries - or fresh
1/2 teaspoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon sunflower seeds
Blend less than 1 minute.
Enjoy!
NOTE: This is blended in the Nutri Bullet but it can be made in a regular blender.
I hope I have inspired you to make your own Smoothie at home. It's so easy to make and add whatever you like. Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
Julie
