You went wild over the Spirograph post a couple of months ago,
enjoying a spark of inspiration from memory lane.
So, I just had to take a moment to share this with you too …
You know that pondering tilt of the head a person gives a work of art they’ve just completed? Writing about your life is that exactly. You step back, pick up your paint brush, apply a dab of compassion here, a brush stroke of flair over there. Putting your life on canvas allows you to see what your life looks like through the eyes of others.
Going Granny (actually my grandkids call me Nanny) is my best achievement yet! Here’s a phone message my barely two-year grandgirl left for me on my 58th b-day. I guarantee it; this will make your day.

Hens and eggs are the finest creation in the animal world. Useful, easy to keep, helpful to the Eco system and making breakfast healthy and delicious !
Our Creator is amazing!
I have one of those little egg scales. It sits in my kitchen as part of my “kitchen-y” decor. It was the first one my mom used when I was a teenager and we were gathering, sorting, grading and selling eggs.

Oddly enough I never thought about how an egg was made, but as soon as I read the first sentence I immediately became intrigued. It’s crazy to think how quickly an egg is created and how much work and change occurs within those 24 hours. We have a very mysterious world for sure.
By a chicken, that’s all I need to know. What the girls need to eat to be healthy and lots of fresh water. Then whatever happens, God bless them
Thank you for your support and kindness in directing people to our feeds! We appreciate it so much. — All of us at Scratch and Peck Feeds
We all must do programs like this and feed both our locals and our neighbors. It is shameful that we allow such waste to go on everyday while millions are starving and desperate.
I can’t imagine our food police, including the USDA, allowing us to sell our surplus, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t happen. I just read that we have over a billion people suffering from diseases caused by “over-nutrition” as opposed to the approximately 800,000 mal-nourished. Isn’t that seriously awful?
I love this idea and the thought of doing it here in America! It’s so sad that food will be thrown away simply because the package is damaged. The food still tastes the same no matter how the box looks. If I am willing to eat food from damaged packaging, then I know those who are starving would greatly appreciate it. We really need this program.
There is a store in our town called REA. It is somewhat like that but mostly home goods and stuff not food. They have some canned goods that you can get but they are normally still in date. The other stuff they sell is like Walmart returns that they can’t re-sell. Some of the stuff may be used, but then you may find a pack of pens (my mind is going blank of all the things we get there), or something that has never been opened and it only cost like 50 cent or $1. My mom loves going and getting ziplock bags for $1 or 50 cent, and food saver bags too. That’s why we mostly go.
Do you love miniature things?
There’s something childlike about miniature … or for that matter, most anything on a micro scale.
And the latest mini marvel I’ve discovered?
My mom loved to make miniature scenes inside of eggs. It takes much patience and dexterity and is harder to make it look right than one would think. I like your idea of a miniature Christmas tree ornament in a sardine can. That would be darling.
I have 10 thumbs or I would be doing this. I adore dollhouses and their miniature furniture,but micro mini? ooh baby that is hard! I have some regular dollhouse sized furniture that are exact reproductions of PA German furniture from the the collections from Winterthur Museum, just exquisite !
Cute little tin doll house! I doubt I have the patience to do that . . . don’t have a tin either!
CJ
My mother used to have miniatures and made little doll houses, but nothing like the one you found. That is a beauty!
Thanks
Have a Happy Labor Day!

Wow! These doll houses are so cute!! I can tell they would definitely take a lot of patience and time. I don’t have enough patience to sit and make one of these, even though I wish I did. She is really talented. What a great find!
That is so adorable. When my children were young I would make some miniatures in sugar eggs as gifts for school teachers. Very time consuming but well worth it.

oops my 6 month old kitten BB king was here typing!!
glad its not 6s !
I loved the spirograph when i was a kid, got it for its educational value as my parents never gave me any toy that was just for fun.
This is really cool! I followed the link to play around and couldn’t get mine to work. I did finally see that it’s not available as an app yet, so my iPad can’t use it. I will have to get my computer and try it out. It looks really fun.
This reminds me of the Spirograph kit we had growing up.
I spent hours and hours with colored pencils creating colorful patterns on rainy days .
