With March being <i>craft month</i>, I find it not only appropriate but necessary to start blogging about my passions again. I would like to begin with one of my favorite ARUMPs accessories, the snap drying strap! While these little strips may not look like much, they sure do come in handy when air drying my alternative reusable menstrual products each month! The directions to use a snap drying strap are quite simple: unfasten the strap, loop it around a rod, and snap it closed using the middle socket snap; then attach one snappable product to the last exposed socket snap and the remaining snappable products to the first, creating a chain.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
What I Used:</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Grosgrain Ribbon</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ruler</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Awl</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
What I Did:</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Measured and cut the grosgrain ribbon in 14" - 14.5" strips.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7f63kFwjsYw2gmnXzat_BuRYIlsa_IlB_U90wE7TvKUZLcBjIXOoEGkLtqrM7cs6_MmHrv9bP2viJ8v9AqYNsCRkf7EghlhuKgkznNqCjCqGTrQToP782bYRC7wA_axwOysP11yvpuUyC/s1600/pixlr_20160305195338497.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7f63kFwjsYw2gmnXzat_BuRYIlsa_IlB_U90wE7TvKUZLcBjIXOoEGkLtqrM7cs6_MmHrv9bP2viJ8v9AqYNsCRkf7EghlhuKgkznNqCjCqGTrQToP782bYRC7wA_axwOysP11yvpuUyC/s320/pixlr_20160305195338497.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Gently burned the cut edges of the grosgrain ribbon with the side of the flame from a BIC lighter.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Measured and marked .5" from the clipped edges and installed plastic size 20 KAM snaps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7C3S6YikS2aIrmWYf9Hpy95F25_1Mr9Zbpe5NKhSq93o9NBfhmBqVO2v_1vgBUSYNqD3KmMPyGCEpytx4EfTDTvZOJ0BwE5kHlcTqfew62B1zvWqEFP0GkcKvOYQ6VlPvm4cw5mfgN_v5/s1600/pixlr_20160305195728195.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7C3S6YikS2aIrmWYf9Hpy95F25_1Mr9Zbpe5NKhSq93o9NBfhmBqVO2v_1vgBUSYNqD3KmMPyGCEpytx4EfTDTvZOJ0BwE5kHlcTqfew62B1zvWqEFP0GkcKvOYQ6VlPvm4cw5mfgN_v5/s320/pixlr_20160305195728195.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Measuring 1" from the socket snap, I marked and installed another socket snap.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYzJgpMmugf5H_T1_rGgGi4nANJD7oJZEgJKl8Pfl_bN2ziDzKHTBkJXcDD-BrJFZnAFW1mJE9aYBtdgybeMpSSon_01uWXW5om94_FH0WISQzKOHfh_tecJFHUxrHEVpqROcipUk4lr-2/s1600/pixlr_20160305200058701.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYzJgpMmugf5H_T1_rGgGi4nANJD7oJZEgJKl8Pfl_bN2ziDzKHTBkJXcDD-BrJFZnAFW1mJE9aYBtdgybeMpSSon_01uWXW5om94_FH0WISQzKOHfh_tecJFHUxrHEVpqROcipUk4lr-2/s320/pixlr_20160305200058701.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I do realize the cost of KAM installation pliers and plastic snaps may not be feasible for everyone to afford (especial to make one simple snap drying strap), so I would like to mention that I do offer engraved snap drying straps to purchase. You can check out <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/thenightingalesnook" target="_blank">my new Etsy shop</a> to pick one out yourself at $2.25 plus shipping or you can take advantage of this blog post offer of a random engraved snap drying strap for only $4.25 shipped with tracking!

This blog post is the continuation of my product review of Cloth Junkies wingless panty liner set; I'm beginning with number nine since I've already answered eight questions in the video. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_zneFrY4ABRLG97ubfIZ19eS57mINpZq13mpZ4n96Po1W4NYvHyPy5LjLNmmXWufW2REWlHZtgyryWYPjOIwdfrQVon7_yDyAaqmzA-z6plJYJxFvIeysrJK3HoumkfK7sa53qe9WDgHy/s1600/cj+wl+pl+pb+thumbnail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_zneFrY4ABRLG97ubfIZ19eS57mINpZq13mpZ4n96Po1W4NYvHyPy5LjLNmmXWufW2REWlHZtgyryWYPjOIwdfrQVon7_yDyAaqmzA-z6plJYJxFvIeysrJK3HoumkfK7sa53qe9WDgHy/s400/cj+wl+pl+pb+thumbnail.jpg" width="237" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
9. How long is the average drying time (in hot and cold months)?</div>
<div>
The overall average drying time would be around four hours. In the warmer months it only takes about two and a half hours while in the colder months it would be closer to six hours.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
10. What about these panty liner and stains?</div>
<div>
Two of the liners have stained (the liners in the center) while the other two haven't (the top and bottom liners).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
11. Did the panty liner appear bulky through clothing?</div>
<div>
No, and I couldn't even see the "corner" edges of the less circular liners.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
12. Thoughts on the overall quality of stitching; any risk of lose thread?</div>
<div>
Stitching, well we all know by now that I don't really prefer serged stitching but I am surprised that these liners have held up to the numerous uses and washes I've put them through.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
13. How hard was the prep process for this panty liner?</div>
<div>
To be honest, I didn't prep three of them (they were my first and I didn't know I was suppose to). The one panty liner I did prep was extremely quick and easy.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
14. What product was used to clean and/or stain treat this panty liner recently?</div>
<div>
Most recently I used pink Zote to clean these panty liners.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
15. Thoughts on fabric print and print placement?</div>
<div>
I'm indifferent to most of the prints and as for placement, well you couldn't really go wrong on fabric prints like those. :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
16. Did the panty liner slide, scoot, or move around while wearing it?<br />
Not really, as I explained in the video when my panties go to the side I do end up bleeding on the side of the liners because they weren't "centered under my body".</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
17. Are the snaps easy to use?<br />
Yes, I can easily fasten and unfasten the snaps on the wing base.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
18. Was the panty liner overall easy to use?<br />
Absolutely! With or without the wing base, these panty liners are a breezy to use.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
19. Did the panty liner sit straight or was it slanted while wearing it?<br />
At least one of the panty liners does sit slanted a little even after it conforms to my body, though it doesn't bother me and could easily be "fixed" by using the wing base.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
20. Did the panty liner leak in any way, shape, or form?<br />
No, only when the panty liner is off centered due to my panties will I bleed on the sides or "leak".</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
21. Are the snaps durable?<br />
Yes, I haven't had any issues with them.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
22. Did the panty liner absorb well (quickly, in the gusset, without leak)?<br />
Using these panty liners for every day use and light menses, I would say they absorbed well.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
23. Did the panty liner shrink after multiple uses and washes?<br />
Yes, ever so slightly; maybe half an inch at most.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
24. Did the panty liner bunch up while wearing it?<br />
No, rather the liners conformed to my body.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
25. Did the panty liner cause the panties to bunch up?<br />
No, the liners being wingless really did prevent them from bunching up my panties; though a few pairs of my panties do bunch up when I wear the wing base.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
26. Did the panty liner feel thick or bulky while wearing it?<br />
No, even when mounted in the wing base I could barely feel these panty liners.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
27. What drying method was using most recently?<br />
Air/sun dry in the window sill overnight.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
28. When and where do I feel most comfortable wearing these panty liners?<br />
I feel most comfortable wearing these panty liners for every day use or for "my period may start soon" protection around the house or out and about visiting friends or shopping; not really for exercising or yoga mainly because I am afraid they may slide back and have other products to use when I'm working out.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
29. Would I have purchased these panty liner knowing what I know now?<br />
Yes, though I would like to custom order them next time so I can choose my prints. While I truly don't mind the prints I received, I would love to have a matching set of them. To be honest I would love to have a Monday through Sunday liner set, ya know, to match the panty sets. :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
30. Would I recommend these panty liner?<br />
If you need every day, light menses, or cup back up protection and don't want a lot of extra material wrapping around your panties and rubbing against your thighs, then I would highly recommend these panty liners.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
31. How was the customer service?</div>
<div>
Top notch, Amy Iverson is extremely easy to work with, responds quickly, and is always professional on her Facebook pages/groups.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
32. Would I purchase from Cloth Junkies again?<br />
Absolutely; with budget friendly prices, nice quality, a lot of fabric print options, and top notch customer service, I'll definitely be returning to Cloth Junkies.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

This blog post is the continuation of my product review of Cloth Junkies vintage floral panty liner; I'm beginning with number nine since I've already answered eight questions in the video. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivDiC0VHO1FSWQ5WS7konXIIWbyFO5cZf-8X_KlV5Qya8f8RiKnXgJruEoG31rh7938N-igax1LqiSPldje4SrMSLU3QtDL1I4cBZkB5iiBagQJTDuLtOLl0ArPu4SmY-s0suxoxA-5wdS/s1600/cjreviewthumbnail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="289" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivDiC0VHO1FSWQ5WS7konXIIWbyFO5cZf-8X_KlV5Qya8f8RiKnXgJruEoG31rh7938N-igax1LqiSPldje4SrMSLU3QtDL1I4cBZkB5iiBagQJTDuLtOLl0ArPu4SmY-s0suxoxA-5wdS/s320/cjreviewthumbnail.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9. How long is the average drying time (in hot and cold months)?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The average drying time would about around 4 hours. During the cold months it tends to be closer to 6 hours but during the hotter months it only takes about 2 hours if left to dry in the sun.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
10. What about this panty liner and stains?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Having used the liner for about 6 times for menses, I've noticed very little staining. Also I do think the red and pink floral print help hid any stains that may have set over the past year.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
11. Did the panty liner appear bulky through clothing?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Not at all, I wear some pretty tight boy shorts under my leggings when I exercise.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
12. Thoughts on the overall quality of stitching; any risk of lose thread?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
While I don't personally enjoy serged or overlocked stitching, this panty liner has held up extremely well with very few stitches coming undone and causing hang offs.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
13. How hard was the prep process for this panty liner?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Prep process was rather easy, with my only annoyance being that the topper, core, and backing shift a bit when I try to really rub the soap stick on it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
14. What product was used to clean and/or stain treat this panty liner recently?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I used Dr. Bronners' liquid soap in rose scent to hand wash.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
15. Thoughts on fabric print and print placement?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I just adore the fabric print, but I must admit that the placement could be a bit "better" by having the fabric turned at about a 90 degree angle so the print faces the way the liner would lay against the body.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
16. Did the panty liner slide, scoot, or move around while wearing it?<br />
Yes, after the panty liner conformed to my body it did minutely slide to the back of my panties every now and then.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
17. Are the snaps easy to use?<br />
Yes, I haven't had any issues when trying to snap or un-snap the panty liner.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
18. Was the panty liner overall easy to use?<br />
Yes, the panty liner was extremely easy to use and clean.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
19. Did the panty liner sit straight or was it slanted while wearing it?<br />
The panty liner stayed rather straight, though it did form to my body since the gusset is a little wide for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
20. Did the panty liner leak in any way, shape, or form?<br />
No, using the panty liner for light menses and everyday use I did not experience any leaking.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
21. Are the snaps durable?<br />
Yes, the snaps haven't fallen off, loosened, or warped.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
22. Did the panty liner absorb well (quickly, in the gusset, without leak)?<br />
I've found the panty liner doesn't exactly absorb daily cervical mucus discharge but rather "catches and lets dry"; as for light menses, yes, the panty liner absorbed the fluids well.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
23. Did the panty liner shrink after multiple uses and washes?<br />
The panty liner may have shrunk ever so slightly, though it's not noticeable if it has.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
24. Did the panty liner bunch up while wearing it?<br />
Yes, the panty liner bunches up and folds a bit to conform to my body.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
25. Did the panty liner cause the panties to bunch up?<br />
No, the gusset of the panty liner is wide enough for all of my panties so I never experience bunched up panties when wearing this panty liner.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
26. Did the panty liner feel thick or bulky while wearing it?<br />
No, the panty liner feels thin and is barely noticeable to me even when I wear my tight workout shorts or legging.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
27. What drying method was using most recently?<br />
Air/sun dried on a towel in the window sill.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
28. When and where do I feel most comfortable wearing this panty liner?<br />
I feel most comfortable wearing this panty liner for every day discharge, light menses, and even as a cup back up; I prefer to wear this panty liner.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
29. Would I have purchased this panty liner knowing what I know now?<br />
No, I wouldn't purchase this exact panty liner because I really dislike the width of the gusset. I would rather have custom ordered a light absorb pad in the same vintage floral print with a smaller gusset.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
30. Would I recommend this panty liner?<br />
Yes, this panty liner is wonderful for those who need light absorb protection and prefer a bit more gusset coverage from wing to wing.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
31. How was the customer service?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Top notch, Amy Iverson is extremely easy to work with, responds quickly, and is always professional on her Facebook pages/groups.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
32. Would I purchase from Cloth Junkies again?<br />
Absolutely; with budget friendly prices, nice quality, a lot of fabric print options, and top notch customer service, I'll definitely be returning to Cloth Junkies.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

It's been a while since I've posted, and in the midst of cleaning out my laptop I thought I'd go ahead and share a shopping haul I just absolutely love from my local Dollar Tree! Now I can't tell you exactly when I picked up this haul but I can tell you it was only $7.42! And while these items may seem random, I actually have a purpose for them all (mostly magical).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
From left to right, top to bottom I purchased: a glass taper candle holder, a circle candle mirror, pack of four white emergency candles, a package of gold birthday candles, a package of silver birthday candles, a black journal with lined pages, and a matching red journal with lined pages.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've already filled up the red journal, completely burnt one of the white candles, used another for a magical craft, and used a few of the other products as well. </div>

Another must for any operation manual is a pencil case! I love to use this Five Star brand triple pocket pouch to hold all of my ultra fine sharpie pens for color coding the master calendar. :) Of course any ol' pencil case will do, and it really doesn't even have to have the three ring holes to insert it in the binder. </div>

I also keep a few highlighters, pens, and forever stamps in there just in case I need them. I usually keep a small pair of scissors, a pad of sticky notes, and a few business cards in there too but they're not picture.<br />

What do you have in your pencil pouch? :)</div>

Now that I have my tabs labeled, I can add some printed templates to help everyone stay organized. I created my own pages (free to use, links below) but you can use someone else pages or make your own and use those instead. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Today I added to following pages to my binder:</div>

There are two ways to use the free printables above. You can print and hole punch them then simply put them right into the binder, or you can print and slide them into clear page protectors then place the page protectors in the binder.

See another easy day towards getting everyone on track. :) Come back Monday to see what else I have inside our family operation manual. I'd love to know what you think of the free printables I created; leave a comment below letting me know your thoughts or if you used another free printable available on the interwebs, leave a link to those so I can check them out!</div>

One of my goals for the new year is to share more about how my family gets organized and to begin I thought baby steps would be best. Each day I will post a small bit about the binder system DH and I use to ensure things are done, paid, purchased, etc on time and within our budget. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you wish to make a family operation manual or home management binder such as ours, you will need a few things. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Day 1 Supplies:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Minimum 1" binder</li>
<li>Tabbed dividers</li>
<li>Cover page (optional)</li>
</ul>
<div>
I actually have a lot of organizing supplies so the binder and dividers cost was $0.00 for me. (Yay for hoarding!) As for the cover page I printed a free design from avery.com and simply gave the system a cool name so hubby would use it. Then I placed the tabbed dividers in the binder and created a table of contents on the makers website that would best suit my family. </div>
<div>

It seems like forever since I've posted any sort of craft, doesn't it? Well I have been crafting a lot lately but since most of it's holiday gifts, I have to wait until after December 25th to share them. Don't fret though, I do have a few non gift crafts to share and the first is a puzzle piece snowflake hang decoration! I was inspired by RedTedArt when Maggie posted these puzzle piece snowflake ornaments, but for some reason I couldn't get the little buggers to turn out as nice as her. So after a bit of tinkering, I created larger puzzle piece snowflake hangs to use as decoration for the walls!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
recycled cereal box</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
pencil</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
ruler</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
battery</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
exacto knife</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
white chalk marker</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
popsicle sticks</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
E6000 or hot glue gun & sticks</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
white twine</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What I Did:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1) I created my own puzzle pieces by using the ruler and pencil to measure and mark out the back of the recycled cereal box into a grid and then traced the side of a battery to create the bumps in each puzzle piece.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2) After that was done, I cut out the pieces very carefully using the exacto knife. (You can skip this step if you already have a puzzle on hand you wish to use. I didn't have a puzzle nor did I have the money to buy one so I just made one!)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3) I used the white chalk marker to color each puzzle piece white to resemble a snowflake, let dry completely.<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4) Then I arranged the puzzle pieces on the popsicle sticks before glueing to ensure proper placement.<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
5) Next I glued the pieces in place on top of the popsicle sticks and let it completely dry.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
6) Once the snowflake was dry I hot glued some white twine as a hanger to the back side of the snowflake on one of the popsicle sticks, and let dry completely. Now it's ready to hang!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
With having made the puzzle pieces by hand, each snowflake hang is 100% unlike any other snowflake decoration! We also hung up a few paper snowflake decorations we made last year or the year before. Now I think it's starting look like Christmas down here in Florida! What do you think?!</div>

In my ongoing search for ARUMPs (alternative re-usable menstrual products) I came across a few links I really wanted to share with you guys. Now these links are for the budget conscience or those looking for products on the less expensive side of the scale and not all of them will be in 100% perfect condition, nor will you always have a choice of print/materials. Many vendors will list imperfectly made menstrual products as "seconds" which usually means there's a slight issue (usually in appearance and not functionality) in the stitching or the wings may not set evenly. So these "seconds" may find their way onto the list may times, but they are still great budget friendly options to consider.</div>

*Please keep in mind, $10.00 plus the minimum shipping costs is not an unreasonable price to charge for a reusable menstrual product; and that price will increase and differ from product to product as well as vendor to vendor depending upon the absorbency level, number of snaps/buttons used, cost of special fabric prints, type of stitching, sewing experience, etc. *</div>

Hey everyone, I promise I haven't forgotten about you guys. I've been extremely busy the past month or so with a lot of things but I did want to share what I did this year for my 24th birthday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I awoke, DH had surprised me with a Tinkerbell balloon and bought glazed donut holes from Dunkin Donuts along with a coffee from the local gas station for breakfast for me. While eating breakfast, I played around on the computer for a bit, checking emails and what have you then DH and I went to visit an old friend for a for hours, watched some anime and had a fun relaxing time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Later that evening DH and I headed back home to continue celebrating my birthday with my mother in law and aunt by having a wii bowling party at our new house with pizza, soda pop, and even ice cream cake with candles and all! It was such fun to play bowling on the wii with my mother in law and aunt; it was their first time playing anything on the wii console and they were actually pretty good at it! I'll have to get pictures next time they come over and play the wii. I was excited to receive a house phone from my mother in law, and very grateful for the gift card from my aunt. (I cannot tell you guys how helpful both of those gifts have been to not only myself but DH too.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUuiwuaaXuvsl8G0lyCLT2ZPRUM4y4BOycy_92MhsFwQbhqpzU5PPSFeID10MmW8MNLhwmBQtHHE95c-aRDcTPIEIETqpbz0JgYpX-6wqs315lxPgkoDKxCEslI-ENMlPG3jTYNx4cWENc/s1600/IMG_20141114_181807507.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUuiwuaaXuvsl8G0lyCLT2ZPRUM4y4BOycy_92MhsFwQbhqpzU5PPSFeID10MmW8MNLhwmBQtHHE95c-aRDcTPIEIETqpbz0JgYpX-6wqs315lxPgkoDKxCEslI-ENMlPG3jTYNx4cWENc/s1600/IMG_20141114_181807507.jpg" height="320" width="254" /></a></div>
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With all of that excitement you'd think my birthday celebrating was over but no, it was not. After my mother in law and aunt left for the evening, DH and I drove back over to our friends house where we watched more anime and had good conversations until the early morning hours of the next day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I must say, this was one of the best birthday celebration's I've ever had. </div>

I may be addicted to <a href="http://ww.etsy.com/">Etsy</a> you guys and that's not necessarily a bad thing, especially since I love handmade goods, reusable products, and posting my parcel unboxing videos! This time I placed an order with Hollie at <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/eco4life">Eco4Life</a> through my MIL account so I could use a credit card to purchase a set of unpaper towels. Now this isn't just any ole set of reusable towels, I absolutely had to have the recipe printed set, check it out by watching the video below!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/30Hs7Q3zw4o?rel=0" width="420"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
See, aren't they too great to pass up!?! Now before I get to the transaction details I have a little explaining to do. Before I placed my order, I had noticed mention of a discount code in the shop description and hopped over to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GoEco4Life">her facebook</a> to grab it, but when I tried to use the code at check out I received a prompt that the code was expired. I contacted Hollie asking if there was some way I could still use the code (as it was only 10:30 pm when the code expired) and she graciously gave me another! So here's how the transaction transpired:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recipe Printed Unpaper Towels, Set of 12 - $32.00</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Discount Code for 10% off - minus $3.20</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shipping and Handling - $11.00</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Total: $39.80</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Call me cheap if you will, but I really didn't want to go over $40.00 and with the use of the discount code I was able to stay just under my budget and that makes me (and my MIL) happy. So in the end I will definitely purchase other products from this etsy seller, and probably purchase another set of snap unpaper towels from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/eco4life">Eco4Life</a> in the not too far future not only for myself, but to also give as gifts to friends and family.<br />
<br />
I would like to thank my mother in law for purchasing these for me and DH, and Hollie at <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/eco4life">Eco4Life</a> for her wonderful customer service, timely shipping, and lovely snap unpaper towels! Be sure to check out <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/eco4life">her etsy shop</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GoEco4Life">facebook page</a> and let her know that TNN sent ya!<br />

I quickly wanted to share with everyone my unboxing experience of my first order from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Earthfriendly4u">etsy seller EarthFriendly4U</a>. I think I'll continue to publish the parcel unboxing videos on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6p-5CyRz1WJPTT_AyTzlWQ">my youtube channel</a>; I like to record them so you guys (and myself) can see my honest reaction of how the products arrived. So without further ado, I present to you:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/q7i6_l6PfRc?list=UU6p-5CyRz1WJPTT_AyTzlWQ" width="560"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Watch the video and let me know what you guys think!<br />
<br />
I do wish that the parcel had come with some sort of company identification papers and possible even care instructions. I do like how the vendor listened to the customer and was able to fulfill my crazy dark color request. I cannot wait to purchase another set of these from her to use as reusable dryer sheets since DH and I now have our own washer and dryer in (what I like to call) the laundry hall!<br />
<br />
And here are some details of this order:<br />
I had placed the order on October 9th, 2014 and received the parcel on Oct. 18th, 2014. I had left a simple note in the "note to seller" section when finalizing my order that read:<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #878787; font-family: Guardian-EgypTT, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; text-align: left;">"If possible, I would very much prefer a darker colored unsponge. I have a mental thing about dirty looking sponges and won't use (for example) a yellow sponge if it's stained or appears to be unclean so the darker prints are ideal for me. I do understand if this request is unable to be met. Thank you for your time and pretties! -Kimberly M"</span><br />
<br />
And here's the cost breakdown:<br />
eco friendly 2 pack kitchen unsponges or dryer sheets - $3.00<br />
S&H - $2.00<br />
Total - $5.00!<br />
<br />
Now, I know some of you out there are probably saying something along the lines of how you can purchase ten sponges from the dollar shop for the same price; and yes, you are correct but I would be going through those so fast that I would have to purchase at least twice as many (twenty) for the resilience to equate that of these handmade reusable kitchen unsponges. And let's go ahead and mention how I would much rather support made by hand and made in the USA than sending my money to some other country without knowing what the makers agenda could even be. So in the end I think I'll stick with purchasing these bad boys!<br />
<br />
I would like to thank Sarah at EarthFriendly4U for her attention to customers voices, quick shipping time, and awesome pretties! Go check out her <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Earthfriendly4u">etsy shop</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/Earthfriendly4u/">facebook page</a>; and let her know TNN sent ya!</div>

My first order from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/BandsForBabes">Bands for Babes etsy seller Carmela Shaw</a> arrived! If you don't know about <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BandsForBabes">Bands for Babes</a>, let me redirect you to their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BandsForBabes">facebook page</a> for more information. Below is my parcel unboxing video so you guys can check it out!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had been eyeing her shop for some time before I ordered, mainly because I was moving and unsure of which exact products I just had to have first. When I did manage to place my first order, I was on a budget of $10.00 and quite intrigued by the deal of the day: black peacock printed shabby chic flower hair clip (I call it my boho chic clip) and was really only suppose to purchase that one thing but then I hit up the clearance/grab bag section of her shop where I found the clearance set of two shabby chic star printed headbands. So to break it down:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Black Peacock Flower Clip - $1.50</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Set of Two Star Headbands - $2.99</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
S&H - $3.19</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Total: $7.68</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I managed to stay under $10.00 and have three wonderfully made hair accessories delivered right to my new address! Soon I'll update the "From My Vanity" tab with action shots of these pretties but for now you can just gawk at the beautiful photographs Carmela Shaw took (all photography credit belongs to her; do not share, reproduce, transfer, or use these photographs in any way, shape, or form without her permission).</div>

My first order from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/SomeAThisSomeAThat">SomeAThisSomeAThat</a> came in today! I was super excited and wanted to tear the package open immediately but managed to control myself enough to actual make a vlog the unboxing! Check it out in the video below or visiting <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6p-5CyRz1WJPTT_AyTzlWQ/videos">my youtube channel</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After I uploaded this video I printed out my invoice and I did in fact order 5 products. I informed her via etsy contact of the mishap and she was very quick (literally 7 minutes) to respond with a solution to the issue. So while I am still waiting on one of the products, I have no problem purchasing from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/SomeAThisSomeAThat">SomeAThisSomeAThat</a> in the future. Oh I almost forgot to mention how much I paid and the such. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">8" Eeyore (Build your own Absorbency) Light Flow Pad @ $3.99 - this pad was created using a cotton top, fleece back, a flannel absorb layer stitched in place, and white plastic snaps.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">8" Birthday Candle Panty Liner with Wings @ $3.00 - this panty liner was created using a cotton top, fleece bottom, a flannel absorb layer not stitched in place, and white plastic snaps.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">6" Vintage Floral Print Panty Liner with Wings @ $2.75 - this panty liner was created using a cotton top, fleece bottom, a flannel absorb layer not stitched in place, and white plastic snaps.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">(2 ct) 6" Cotton Panty Liner (no print choice) without Wings @ $1.50 each - these panty liners were created using a cotton top, fleece backing, and a flannel absorb layer.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was lucky enough to stumble upon her shop and purchase these during her Labor Day sale so I did receive 10% off my subtotal (before s&h) and the shipping came out to $3.00 so I paid a total of $14.46 for all five product or $2.89 each!</div>

Hello everyone, I just quickly wanted to share with you guys the list of vendors I've personally used to purchased AMPs (alternative menstrual products) or RUMPs (reusable menstrual products). Mostly I purchase Etsy, Storenvy, and/or Facebook shop fronts. I have yet to purchase any "big name brands" such as Party In My Pants, Domino, Tree Hugger, etc. This particular post isn't so much geared towards reviewing or even suggesting these vendors' products, rather just an on going list of the people or companies I've purchased from before and how many times I've bought from them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>BoyNamedSew - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/boynamedsew">facebook</a> / <a href="http://boynamedsew.storenvy.com/">storenvy</a> (won a free giveaway and placed two orders)</li>
<li>SomeAThisSomeAThat - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Someathissomeathat/686753651390029">facebook</a> / <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/SomeAThisSomeAThat">etsy</a> (placed one order)</li>
</ol>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well that's it for now. Not too many, I know but I think making the switch should be done in small steps and on a budget so that's why my list isn't crazy long or anything. I hope this helps you and please feel free to leave a comment below tell me which vendors you've used as I'm still exploring and would love to see which vendors and styles and such you guys enjoy. Thanks for reading and be sure to come back and check for updates to this post!</div>

While I was cleaning out my craft supplies stash, I came across a decent amount of pipe cleaners, which I never really use so I posted them as part of a vendor deal I'm hosting on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thenightingalesnook">our online Facebook shop The Nightingale's Nook</a>. However, I had to remove them from the offer because shortly after I remembered a really useful craft for them I had seen while surfing <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/wisenightingale/">Pinterest</a>. These no slip hangers were original published on <a href="http://inmyownstyle.com/2012/04/clothes-closet-hanger-organizing-trick.html">In My Own Style</a> and you can check out her tutorial by clicking the link, but I could not pass up showing you guys the results of my finished products! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi__JTA00qBLm_5zHouXPIIAXDwnvyo4zaWygxGP5fzCVU3CgJjy3HbYOTOMvuJkH17P_IOSUHM8VaPIxF_Q2HYQVyjUo2XTd-fFLKLmYxyKnHaXknkztq1AA83WXi67Or0__LTksj-q-L5/s1600/IMG_082414_010306.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi__JTA00qBLm_5zHouXPIIAXDwnvyo4zaWygxGP5fzCVU3CgJjy3HbYOTOMvuJkH17P_IOSUHM8VaPIxF_Q2HYQVyjUo2XTd-fFLKLmYxyKnHaXknkztq1AA83WXi67Or0__LTksj-q-L5/s640/IMG_082414_010306.jpg" /> </a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm so glad I hadn't de-stash my pipe cleaners because I think I'm hooked on this little project! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What I Used:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
28 chenille pipe cleaners (four pipe cleaners per one adult sized hanger)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7 used white plastic adult sized clothing hangers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My trusty miniature hot glue gun (optional)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What I Did:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1) Bent the ends of the pipe cleaners approximately one inch towards the center; we'll call this the tab.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2) Held the tab against the shoulder of the hanger and began to wrap the pipe cleaner in a spiral around the hanger.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3) Once one pipe cleaner was spiraled, I extended it by wrapping another pipe cleaner directly next it to, wrapping up towards the hook.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4) After all my hangers were wrapped, I decided to use hot glue to affix them in place as my pipe cleaners could somewhat easily slide down the hangers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5) I tried to make sure the dots of glue were on the bottom side of the hangers so that it wouldn't snag delicate clothing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6) Let dry a few minutes and they're ready to use, gift, donate, or do whatever you wish with them!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seriously, this is a great way to customize and organize any closet in the house; not to mention how much prettier are they compared to their previous appearance?! If you don't have these supplies on hand, check your local dollar shop as I'm sure they'll have pipe cleaners and plastic hangers in stock.</div>

If you haven't checked out <a href="http://www.meritline.com/">Meritline.com</a> you should probably stop reading this post right now to go see what that online shop is all about. I have bought quite a few things from this site and only had about two disappointing products; not once have I had an issue with using or purchasing from Meritline! I still browse over their specials and purchase them when I can, but while surfing their site today I saw a lot of great products I know others could use and just in time for school starting back up! I tried to keep the products on this list under $10.00 (excluding shipping costs) but there are a few products that costs a little bit more. Be sure to check out the prices on the website before purchasing these products as prices are subject to change without notice, and you have to use a coupon code (given in the link page) to receive the products at this discounted price.</div>

So I've been <strike>wasting time</strike> relaxing and surfing the interwebs and guess what I stumbled upon, a lot of free crochet patterns! Below is my list of crocheted goodies I am looking for multiple vendors to make for me.

Not a very exciting haul but a shopping haul nonetheless. We ran out of a few paper and craft goods so we picked them up at our local Dollar Tree!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We purchased:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
two white poster boards @ 50c each (not pictured)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
two 4pk Home Store Bath Tissue @ $1.00 each</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
one Home Store Napkins 1 ply @ $1.00 each</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
one Velvet Rose Bud @ $1.00 each (not pictured)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So the total after tax came out to $5.42. To be honest, DH wasn't suppose to pick up the napkins (it was to be paper towels) and the velvet rose bud were a little surprise from DH. I may try to exchange the napkins later but it's not that much of an issue for me, as long as he doesn't make it a habit of purchasing them. ;)</div>

Sporty and spunky is the look I wanted for today's activities, and this outfit nailed it right on the head! I'm wearing my beloved brown and pink puma sneakers, black ankle socks, purple and white track shorts, a black love peace and rock n roll graphic v neck short sleeved tee shirt, with my big sunglasses and my hair up in a high ponytail.</div>

I love how this attire fits me. It's snug but loose enough for me to stretch, exercise, run around, and be lazy in it all day long.</div>

Here's a non traditional pose for you guys. :) Today I'm rocking my brown and pink puma sneakers, blue green white and black floral print leggings, a black half button up short sleeved tee shirt, eyeglasses, and my long hair flowing down my back.</div>

I love the subtle spunkiness of the leggings and the simple look of the half button up shirt. What are your thoughts on today's outfit?</div>

A relaxed but get things done kind of day for us, so loose fitting clothing is a great choice. Starting with the cream rhinestone sandals I also choose to wear my deep blue denim jeans, beige halter top with multicolored rhinestones around the neckline, and keep with my hair flowing down but out of my face.</div>

Another summer day, another Spring/Summer outfit! Here I'm wearing brown and pink puma sneakers, white ankle socks, brown pink and white plaid bermuda shorts, a pink spaghetti strap shirt with ruffles on the top and lace on the bottom. I left my hair down to keep the look simple.</div>
