Facebook 101

1. There is NEVER a need to post a photo of you by yourself you took in the reflection of your mirror, unless you have something insanely interesting to show like possibly you've grown a third eye.
2. Facebook statuses are not for calling out someone who has wronged you or venting about your ex. The ambiguous "you" as in "You don't know me you skanky hoe" is not ok. Show a little class and call them a skanky hoe directly to their face; you'll be respected so much more.
3. No one cares what you are eating for breakfast, lunch or dinner unless it was personally prepared by the resurrected Julia Child.
4. There's a difference between their, there and they're, your and you're, here and hear...etc. When in doubt, Google it.
5. This one's especially for the ladies- avoid putting things like "I hate staying home alone" or "I can't wait for my husband to be home from his trip!" This is an announcement to all creepos saying "come and get me!"

What bothers you?

Crafting

I was sick with bronchitis for a week (before, during, and after Christmas) which left me bored and in the mood to craft. I might also mention that I missed a vacation to the Dominican Republic because I was sick, which made it even worse.

My friend Mallory has a great blog- houseofhydrangeas.blogspot.com -and I saw this ornament wreath craft project on it. It was super easy and could be made for less than $20-$25 if you find the ornaments on sales. All you need is:
• One wire clothes hanger
• About 80 total ball ornaments in small, medium and large sizes
• Hot glue gun to glue the ornament tops on more securely (optional- I didn't need this step b/c mine were plastic and very secure)
• Ribbon (I haven't finished mine with ribbon yet)

Step 1:
Open the clothes hanger and shape in to a circle.
Step 2:
Thread ornaments on hanger through where the ornament hook would go in alternating sizes- I did it in this order: large, medium, small, large, medium, large, medium, small, etc.
Step 3:
Keep threading ornaments until wreath is mostly full. Once you get to a good stopping point, close the hanger by twisting it back together.
Step 4:
Wrap coordinating ribbon on top to cover the exposed hanger.
Step 5:
Finish with a bow. Voila!
