Scraps of Sara: February 1, 2011
http://scrapsofsara.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 1. LEGO My Birthday (Part 2). In Part 1, I gave you the 4-1-1 on the LEGO marshmallow minifig pops and the inexpensive goody bags. Today we’ll look at the tablescape and refreshments and Thursday we'll attack games. Because we were really trying to keep the budget low for this party I opted for all plain colored tableware. You can order LEGO specific stuff online, but really, I’d rather put the money into something that’s going to be around later. Links to this post. Just some snippets ...

Scraps of Sara: Half Score & One – LEGO My Birthday (Part 1)
http://scrapsofsara.blogspot.com/2011/01/half-score-and-one-lego-my-birthday.html
Monday, January 31. Half Score and One – LEGO My Birthday (Part 1). Recently we celebrated my middle’s eleventh birthday. Some might say we celebrate every birthday around here pretty excessively, unless you’re talking about my birthday, and I really don’t think that a few cakes and a week of special attention is excessive in that case…. Esther Bolick’s Orange Marmalade cake of Mitford fame. Gramma made it for Jacob’s family birthday dinner and it was delish! This is one of my most favorite challenges...

Scraps of Sara: January 25, 2011

Tuesday, January 25. I’ve always loved reading. Since the days when I would hold my Little Golden books upside down in my lap, pointing at the pictures and making up gibberish, up until just hours before my first child arrived on the scene. To start, I’m reading two little books written by E.G. White. The first is Happiness For Life. It was first published as Steps to Christ. And a bestseller for more than 100 years. Happiness For Life. Combines the little book A New Life. Links to this post. Half Score ...

Wednesday, January 5. Here’s to Fresh Starts). You know. like the ER doc shouts just before he applies the electric shock paddles? I've just electric shocked my blog back to life. My husband also shouts "CLEAR" before he starts an airplane up. (Just to be sure there's nobody standing by the prop getting ready to be made into human coleslaw.). So let's get this baby off the ground again. You might want to make a sandwich and grab a drink. This is gonna take awhile…. So much to do, so little time. I ne...

Scraps of Sara: Semper Fi - Always Faithful
http://scrapsofsara.blogspot.com/2010/06/semper-fi-always-faithful.html
Sunday, June 13. Semper Fi - Always Faithful. Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13. I experienced something a week ago Saturday that I've never experienced in person before. I attended the funeral services for a fallen serviceman. He was the 1,000. Claimed by Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. I've watched services on TV before and seen photos and reenactments, but never been in attendance myself. There were at least 100 riding with the Patrio...

Thursday, February 3. LEGO My Birthday (Part 3). We’ve arrived at the final installment wrapping up Jacob’s 11th birthday LEGO-palooza – the party games. Many times, this is the most daunting part of planning a kid’s birthday party. You want it to be fun for everyone, involve every. Child and not require anything in your house need repair afterward. Good time to start putting away toys for other gift needs that will come up the rest of the year and get them at big discounts. Even the LEGO website. After ...

Scraps of Sara: April 5, 2010
http://scrapsofsara.blogspot.com/2010_04_05_archive.html
Monday, April 5. Life is perpetually hectic with just a hint of chaos around here. I guess I must like it that way because that's how I keep it. I live from one "event" to the next. Lately it's been weekend to weekend. Just enough time between events to catch your breath, but not necessarily put everything away. I do try to clean the table off in between, but it becomes a staging area for the next event. Here's what it looked like a few days ago on my dining room table. Links to this post. Recently we ce...
