How are the holiday plans coming along?

Day 30 - Create a new game, or a new variation on an existing game, and play it!

Day 31 - Make or decorate some sort of utensil or dish (spoon, fork, plate, cup, etc.) that you can use when eating a meal or drinking a beverage.

Celebration Ideas!

Possible Ideas from Maria, Marissa & Me:


*something relating to clothes, food, music, activities, etc.


*Fresh Start or "New Day" Day? On September 1st?!
  -make a new recipe?
  -wear a new outfit?
  -goal/resolution beads?


*Make 10 People Smile Day or Make 10 People Laugh Day!


*Anonymous Gift Day! 


*Bubbles/Bubbly Day? Or something relating to happiness/cheering people up on September 11th? -  it's the 10th anniversary of the attack and also Sept. 11th is my friend's birthday - seems like a good day to try to help people be happy! or Kindness Day? etc. 


Who's up for celebrating all of these with me?! haha :o)

Day 29 - Celebration!

Create a new holiday to celebrate with friends sometime soon!

Post/"comment" with your ideas!!

Day 28 - Music!

Make a playlist to go with your favorite book!

(I got this idea from a book I read recently entitled Mockingbird. It's from the perspective of a girl named Caitlin who has Asperger's. I added it to my favorites list as soon as I finished reading it!)

Days 25, 26, & 27

Happy Monday!

Day 25 - use money as your inspiration

Day 26 - do something that you do often in a new way

Day 27 - Today, brainstorm getting-to-know-you and other fun, creative activities for the start of the school year. I know a number of us will be student teaching, and others will be taking classes or maybe at least interacting with those who are :o)

Day 24 - Speaking of names...

Make something that begins with the first letter of your name (first, middle, or last). 

Day 23 - Names

Make up a name - it could be a new name for yourself, or what you will call a future child or pet.

If you want to be really creative, make an alteration to an existing name, or pick up random scrabble letters and try arranging them in different combinations. That's how, a couple years ago, Deirdre and I came up with awesome names like:

Mathieu Wifrinski
Dijidoobie Cockamoopie
Yobernackie Jooberwhoopie

& many delightful others ;o)

Day 22 - This is where I fell asleep...

I have a bookmark that says that - it's one of my favorites. I also have one that says "this is where I was when I got up to walk the dog" and the tassel looks like a dog's leash :o)

Make a bookmark that has a cute phrase on it - or that lists creative ideas, random acts of kindness, book recommendations, or something else, which can be given to a friend...

Happy reading!

Day 21 - I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for...

Ice Cream!

Get some ice cream today and try a different combination than you normally get. Maybe it's a wacky flavor combination, or perhaps you're going to try a new topping. Enjoy!

18, 19, 20 - Catching Up

Day 18 - make a stencil and use it today!

Day 19 - work with things you find in your car (or a friend's) today!

Day 20 - make something today using recycled materials!! - How many ways can a plastic bottle or glass jar be used?

Day 17 - Just Keep Swimming, Just Keep Swimming

Make something today that has to do with fish... (or the movie Finding Nemo)

Days 14, 15, 16 - That brings us to today!

I haven't had much access to a computer, so I haven't been able add new posts. What types of creative things have you been up to? Some possible options are below:

*tie dye!

*make something with a fruit or vegetable that is in season right now (such as zucchini or blackberries! yummm)

*write a note to a friend

*If you were publishing a book tomorrow what would the title be?

Day 13 - Eat your Veggies! Or...

make them into stamps!!

Day 12 - Where Did It Go?

Make something that blends into its background. Think camouflage!

Day 11 - On the Other Hand

Make or do something using your non-dominant hand. For example, if you are right handed, try eating with the fork (or chopsticks!) in your left hand or try writing a story by holding the pen in your left hand, etc.

Day 10

Make something out of flour today! It could be wheat paste, beads, play dough, or something else...

Day 9 - Collection of Words

You know how they have those magnetic words that you can put into silly phrases? I used to love stringing them out in hilarious combinations with Deirdre and there's a board with some great words at work, which I love rearranging when I have a spare minute or two. I made lots of little slips of paper with words, with the magnet idea in mind, and here are some of the little ditties I came up with:

you're my turquoise super hero

it's a wonderful celebration of peas & zebras

life is a cornucopia of surprises!

wishing on pennies we tossed into a puddle

you're my baby pea!

you're the sunlight that brightens up my cloudy day

I'm jealous of your avocado dance

come with me and watch the sunrise. let the light warm your face and dry the tears from your eyes. my child, you have only just begun to live

the joyful hippopotamus dances and splashes our troubles away

:o) 

Try it - it's super fun!!!

Day 9 - Collections

Use something that you or someone else collects for what you make today!

Day 8 - Make a splash!

Use water as your inspiration today!

Day 7 - Play With Your Food

Do something creative with your food choices today! Maybe order something new at a restaurant or make a design in what you're eating. It'll be a piece of cake! ;o)


Yesterday I tried a new salad (see quinoa salad on the recipe page!), and for this activity I made a "peazza world"; I arranged peas on a pizza to try to look like the globe.

Day 6 - Rabbit Rabbit!

Happy August 1st!

Today make something that has to do with luck and good fortune.

(or something that has to do with bunnies!)


Below is a picture of the beads I made!
