Hey! It's Okay!

First things first, if you haven't already, go enter my giveaway HERE!!  

Don't worry, I'll wait.  

Today, I'm double dipping.  I'm blogging about a Pin-Ter-Vention where I show you how to make awesome printable like this:



Well,  I don't really show you how to do it.  I do give you the link with the instructions though.  Click HERE for the printable info.

AND, I'm blogging about what I'm Okay about this week.

Amber, the Whispering Writer at Airing My Dirty Laundry has a linky party every Tuesday.  To join in, link up what you’re okay about this week.

This week, It’s Okay:

To turn off my phone notifications for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and email.  Really, I don't have to know anything from these apps in real time.  I'm perfectly happy with finding stuff out when I log on.  That being said, if you need me quick, text me.

To still be reading "21 pounds in 21 days"...

To be super excited about the tshirts I made to wear at Christen's high school soccer games.  Yes, I'm THAT Soccer mom.  I can't help it, I'm proud of her and I want everyone to know she's my daughter.  I'll be sharing pics of the tshirts soon.

To talk baby talk to my dogs. Yes, I'm THAT person too.  Don't worry, I try not to do it in public or in front of anyone who isn't family.  I don't want to freak people out.

To download just about every free song KLove has.  This week it's "Forever Reign" by One Sonic Society.  Go HERE to get it for free too.

To remind you about Plum Districts awesome deal on Silhouette SD/Cameo stuff.  Click HERE to snag your deal!

To be really bummed about Etta James passing away this week.  I love hearing her sing.

To shamelessly plug my Valentine Crafty Prize Pack Giveaway, again.  Go HERE to enter to win!

To ask for prayers for my Mother In Law, Brenda.  She was diagnosed with cancer this week.  Thankfully, the dr thinks they caught it early.  She'll have radiation to shrink it and then surgery to remove it.  She's a nurse, she knows all the wonderful things that can come of this and the things that could go wrong.  Please pray for complete healing and peace for her and wisdom and skill for her doctors.

Alrighty, your turn!  Go see what everyone else is okay about, and while you're at it, link up what you're okay about this week!

Pin-Ter-Vention Party Time!

Have you entered to win my Valentines Crafty Prize Pack Giveaway yet?  No??  Well, go enter HERE and come back here for the Pintervention Party.

Go on..  I'll wait!

Okay, now...

It's time to party Pinterest style!

Have you pinned and pinned and never really done anything but stare at your pins?  You need to stop pinning and start doing!  And join the pin-ter-vention party!

Steph and Nicole started and host this awesome party, and I hope you can join in.

I'm sure if you use the AWESOME photo editing site PicNik, you've heard that the site is closing down in April.  I know, I'm SO SAD, mainly because I really don't want to learn how to use PhotoShop AND because I just found out how to make printables using PickNik!

So I'm sharing this pin with you, so you can make your own printables, until PickNik closes down that is.

After that, if you find another way (that's not as complicated as PhotoShop) please share!

Here's the original pin:

I won't go into all the instructions, you can click on the picture above to get all those.

I've been using some of the printables I've created on a couple of my posts.  And here's the one I've made for Valentines day:



If you couldn't tell..  I love this color scheme.

I guess you could print it from picnik, but I prefer to print it from my computer, it just comes out better.

And guess what?  If you want this print, all you gotta do is click on it and save it.  If you do though, I do ask that you link back to this post if you have a blog.

You can frame it, put on your fridge, whatever you want to do!  And you can make it any size.  Coasters are coming to my mind...  yep, coasters...

I didn't have a frame to fit this printable, so I winged it.

That should be what I named my blog: "Jodi and how she wings everything"

I love it when that happens though because, I don't know about you, but when the plans are out the window and creativity takes over...  that's just divine.

I love it.

So...  as I was saying, I winged it.

I had a botched painting on canvas that I just couldn't save, so I ripped the cavas off, painted the wood frame a couple of times with white acrylic paint, grabbed some twine and this is what happened:





I'm pretty pleased,

And I'm so thankful for Steph and Nicole for hosting these Pin-Ter-Vention Parties, it really pushes me (in a good way) to get up and do something.

So, what are you waiting for??

Stop pinning and start doing!

(after you enter my Valentine Crafty Prize Pack Giveaway of course)


I'll also be linking up at these great parties this week:

Beckham is such a cuddle-bug.  He really is happiest when he literally right on top of you.



Jon finally got his cards!  He's famous now ya know.  B/c you have to be famous to be on a bubble gum card.  ;)

As most of you know, Jon LOVES Star Wars.  He's part of a group called "The Dark Empire".  Their mission statement is below.

And even though it's not my cup of tea, it makes Jon happy, so that's cool.

Jon even makes pretty much all of his costume.  He commissioned the leather work, but it was still done locally and by hand.  And you see his light saber?  He made that.  Not the light part, but the handle part.  And he's making another one too.



If you click above on the picture, it will take you to their website.



Christen is in love with crab rolls.  So much so, she'll go and purchase them.  I can't stand sea food and Jon really doesn't need to eat all that rice, so she's pretty much been on her own when she wants some.  Until now.  Jessica ate sushi for the first time eva!  And....



She liked it...  she really liked it.

So now Christen has someone to go on sushi runs with.



GA basketball started this past Friday night.  So now we finally got Jessica's basketball hoop up for her to practice when she comes over.  It only took us 3yrs!



ONE of Jon's crock pots full of chili!  He was given some bison and elk meat and decided to make chili.  He added some italian sausage too.  I hear it was good.  I don't eat chili, so I have to take their word for it.



I just love how his ears look here.  He also looks tiny and not like his monsta' self.



This was my view when I pulled onto my street after work one day this week.  It was like I was being welcomed home.  Love it



She makes the funniest faces.



I do believe you can still download this song for free on KLove.  I LOVE this song!!  I wrote about it yesterday.



I made home made spaghetti this week.  I have to have LOTS of garlic.  And believe it or not, this really wasn't enough.  My phone still smells like garlic.  and I love it!



Yes, I mix raw spinach in with my spaghetti...  it's really good, you should try it.



I love it when my cousin Cam comes over.  And so does Beckham.  Cam let Beckham chew on his blanket, I tried to stop it each time but finally gave up and just took a picture.



Oh my gosh dude!  Knuckle deep!  Haha.  How could you not love that face!!!



I love this picture.  Brandi and Christen just turned to look at Beckham at the same and he gave this look like: "What did I do??"



Church Youth basketball started Thursday night.  They always make me nervous.  The games can get pretty intense believe it or not.  But this game was really good. Not many fouls were called and Christen got 6 out of the 19pts they scored.  Oh, and our girls won!  Good day for sure.



Christen on the right her BFF Becca on the left during half time.  Love these girls.
