Zealous Endeavors: June 2011
http://zealousendeavors.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 26, 2011. Friday I hit the road on a whim and went to visit the grave sites of the Ricketts/McGreevy side of the family. Down OH-13 through Somerset to Junction City, I saw a few tar paper shacks, a few goats, and a few beautiful views of the hills of ohio. I will try to organize this by generations, as I have before. Grandma McGreevy's parents are Daniel W Ricketts. B 16 Dec 1887 Monday Creek Township, Perry County, Ohio - d. July 1965) and Hazel G Starner. B 1894 - d. 1894) and Cecil.

Zealous Endeavors: April 2011
http://zealousendeavors.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 29, 2011. A little girl I know is about to turn FIVE! She likes things proper and fancy, so I made her a more grown-up style card this year. I don't know about anybody else who is into paper crafts, but I usually start my projects by going through either websites or magazines to get a layout in mind, and then go through my paper options to decide a color scheme or find some inspiration. For this, I found these muted colors. Then I cut that down to size. And here is the finished product:.

Zealous Endeavors: May 2011
http://zealousendeavors.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 16, 2011. One of my Christmas gifts this year was a paper laminator, but I hadn't opened it until this idea came to me. We had just received the Paper Doll Dress-Up Cartridge (thanks to Grandma! And Aidan's cousin's birthday was the following day {she's the one I made the Feliz Cumpleaños card for} so I decided to make her a little princess doll to decorate her gift. Laminating it made it so she could keep it as a decoration/toy. Glittery paper for her necklace and crown. I had to cut her dow...

Zealous Endeavors: August 2010

Monday, August 30, 2010. A "Weak" Without Spending. I give this post such a title because it is true, I am weak when it comes to spending money. I love it. I can't help it. I will probably give this goal another try one of these days (weeks hopefully) but for now, it's not meant to be. I made it into the second day and realized I needed gas to get to school. Now, this could technically be considered a school expense.but I then bought yarn later that day and blew my non-spending diet off the scene. I know...

Monday, January 17, 2011. Why I Love The Morgan House. In celebration of my Aunt's birthday, she, my mother, their mother and father, and I visited The Morgan House for Sunday lunch. I love The Morgan House. It's beautiful. It's never the same place twice. And, it's inspiring! Every time I visit The Morgan House, I'm inspired to start making! I want to sew, knit, paint, scrapbook, and bake. I just wish I had more TIME! That's all. Is that too much to ask? Links to this post. Wednesday, January 5, 2011.

Zealous Endeavors: Valentine's Candy
http://zealousendeavors.blogspot.com/2012/01/valentines-candy.html
Sunday, January 29, 2012. Valentine's Day is coming! But also distraught because of how busy I am. I'd like to do some paper crafting/card making soon. But I'm not sure when I'll get to it. I indulged in some candy hearts at the grocery store yesterday. I have a young kid. And I'm crazy, madly, hopelessly in love. These two factors are important in rationalizing my purchase of kiddie candy. That and, I just like them. I also like Ball jars. So I got out the camera, and took some shots.

Zealous Endeavors: November 2010
http://zealousendeavors.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 30, 2010. While waiting at the Dr's office for several routine appointments in the last month, I stumbled upon a few articles with recommended sites for shopping discounts. Naturally, I didn't want to pass up this chance to save some money, so I clicked them into my phone's notebook application and saved them for a later date- it's just taken me a while to get on here to report them. Most of these are online discounts, but I believe some you can print and use them in-store. Glasses star...

Zealous Endeavors: September 2010
http://zealousendeavors.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 24, 2010. I'm so sorry it's been so long since I've posted! School and life in general has been really hectic lately. I have several post ideas that I just haven't had time to get online yet. Luckily, blogger must have my limited time in mind; they've updated their photo uploader and it's wonderful. It used to take forever and I had to click back and forth and now it's seamless. Thank you blogger! I mentioned the growth chart I was working on in a previous post, and here it is:. I used ...

Zealous Endeavors: March 2011
http://zealousendeavors.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 30, 2011. In my opinion, at least. Make some for yourself, and let me know what you think! I no longer remember exactly where I found this recipe at, but it was online somewhere. Definitely not my own, so if you know where it came from by any chance, let me know so I can pass on the credit. I'll start with a condensed recipe for ease of access and then go through the de-licious motions with you. 1/2 C Vegetable Oil. 1/3 C Cocoa Powder. 1/4 Tsp. Baking Powder. 1/4 Tsp. Salt. I love the ol...
