Christmas or Winter Gnome Craft Project with Lights
We had so much fun making these little Winter Gnomes, that we thought we'd share the craft with you. Maybe you can take it and use your imagination and make whatever gnome your heart desires.
There are many holidays throughout the year to make a gnome for Valentine's Day, St.Patrick's Day, July 4th, Halloween, and Thanksgiving.
Here's all you need:
- Pint jar with lid
- Paint that will adhere to the glass
- Small paint brush
- Glue gun and glue sticks
- Fabric, cotton will work best
- Rick rack
- Felt
- White faux fur
- Plastic small snowflake or what embellishment you would like to use, depends on the theme of the gnome
- Wood bead with a flat side
- Styrofoam ball, pompom, cotton ball whatever you would like for the snowball
- Pink powder for the nose
- Qtip or brush to apply the powder
- White paint or marker
- LED lights
Step-by-step instructions:
Paint your pint jar with white paint, preferably for glass, then sprinkle white glitter all over the jar. Make sure you let it sit and dry before moving on to the next step. I also suggest you seal it because the glitter comes off rather easily and who likes glitter everywhere? Not me!

Birth Order Theory and How it Affects YOU
We don’t know about you but the birth order thing interests us. It’s funny to read what the experts have come up with regarding the birth order personality traits. Some of the characteristics seem spot on and others way off.
Here are some interesting facts about birth order:
- Can your birth order affect your job choice?
A first-born or only child may be more likely to become a doctor or lawyer. Younger siblings more often turn to the arts or the outdoors. In part, you can credit parenting.
Parents may over-protect the oldest or onlies. So they tend to follow more brain-based interests. When later children show up, parents can be more relaxed and hands-off.
- How much quality time do parents give firstborns compared with kids born later?
Even when parents try to be even-steven, it rarely works out that way. Kids born first get as much as 3,000 more hours of quality time with parents than younger siblings do at the same age.
- As moms get older, they feel closest to their ...
Older moms say they feel closest to their "babies" no matter what the family size or spacing between kids.
In the same study, mothers said firstborns were the ones they'd turn to when facing personal problems or a crisis.
- Who's more likely to put pressure on themselves?
Firstborns tend to try to be "perfect" more often than later-borns. But kids without siblings, who are often treated like little adults, seem to have even more of this trait.
- How many people have at least one brother or sister?
It's clear why birth order interests us so much. Most of us weren't born the only child in a family.
Kids who are spaced less than two years apart often have more conflict than those born more than two years apart, pediatricians say.
- Parents call the doctor less often with later-born children.
Doctors often tell new parents there's no such thing as a dumb question. Parents climb a steep learning curve about how to take care of a child.
That's why studies show that they call the doctor more with a firstborn. But time builds confidence. Parents also figure out which problems a doctor can help with and which they can handle on their own.
Here are some traits that hit the nail on the head in our family:
- Oldest child - Cathy is the oldest girl in our family
If you're the firstborn child, you have your parents all to yourself for a period of time. Because it’s your parents’ first time being parents, they tend to dole out attention to you. They’re also extra careful when it comes to all aspects of child-rearing — from bumps and bruises to early education. Eldest children benefit from all this attention.
Your parents might expect a lot from you if you're the oldest, especially as other children are born into your family. Your parents might seem stricter with you and often expect you to set an example for your younger siblings and show responsibility.
Studies show if you're the eldest child, you tend to demonstrate leadership skills. Maybe you're a leader in the workplace already, or rising to the top of your industry.
- Middle child - Rhonda is the middle child
It’s a stereotype that if you're a middle child you're a peacekeeper, but there seems to be a grain of truth behind the saying. Because you lack the title of being the oldest or the youngest, you seek to carve out a niche for yourself in the family dynamic. You tend to enjoy negotiation and compromise. You can often relate to people of different ages with ease.
You can be competitive with your older sibling — maybe by breaking their sports records, becoming more fluent in a language, or getting better grades. Or you might behave more rebelliously.
Check out our video on middle child syndrome...
- Youngest child - Kelly is the youngest girl
As the baby of the family, you tend to take one of two paths when developing your personality, according to Adler. The first path is a clear journey to success, where you try to excel in every way, often becoming the go-to person in the family. Youngest children can also become avoidant if they lack the confidence or drive to excel.
You might have freedoms your older siblings don't have. As your parents’ rules become more relaxed, your parents can be more hands-off with you. You're usually assured of your place in the family and can be very creative, rebellious, and outgoing.
- Only child
If you're an only child, you've been surrounded by adults since birth. That’s not to say you weren’t socialized with other children through kindergarten, the playground, or school. But during your time at home, you socialized with parents and other adults, mimicking their behaviors and becoming "small people".
Your parents might be overprotective of you, leading you to become dependent on your parents for support. You aren’t used to sharing clothes, space, or parental attention with siblings. This can make you intelligent and creative, but also stubborn and set in your ways.
Thanks to WebMd for this information.

Sister's Review:
CATHY I was wondering where this restaurant was located. It is in the
old State Theater building. The old theater still has the ticket window. The
halls are decorated with lights to add atmosphere. Signs are everywhere
pointing the way. It is located on the 2nd floor but there is an elevator, so
that is nice. Outdoor seating if you want but it was raining so we decided to
stay in.
It was not busy so we had the place to ourselves! The music makes the mood fun and the restaurant is decorated nicely. The waitress was attentive and took my joking very well.
We ordered samples of the sangria flavors. I preferred the pineapple flavor.
Food came quickly and warm. I had the pork taco. The serving is small but the flavor is very good! I enjoyed it. The taco shell was a little too tough and greasy for me.
I asked the waitress if we need to make reservations for lunch on weekdays and she said not Mon-Thurs because their busy time is for dinner and weekends. If you want to secure your table, you should probably make a reservation though.
Overall, I enjoyed it. The prices are reasonable. Interesting place to have a meal.
Rhonda I had the Strawberry Salad. It was made with arugula and spinach and had some crumbled cheese as well which was not in the description. It was a mild cheese. It had lots of cut strawberries more than any salad I have ever had. The salad came with a strawberry cream dressing. It was pink in color and on the thick side. The taste was a little tangy, mild not overpowering. All in all, I thought the serving size was great and the flavor delicious.
Kelly The sangria is was I was looking forward to trying. We ordered a sample of four. The flavors were Lavendar Lemonade, Pineapple, Cherry Red Wine, and Strawberry. My favorite was the pineapple. The others weren't as flavorful as I had hoped. I ordered the Caribbean Wrap which featured Jerk chicken, lettuce, pineapple mango salsa, and black beans wrap. I did have a bit of a bite but was not overpowering. It was served with a delicious spring side salad with mixed greens, apples, and cheese. The serving size was just right for lunch. I'd order this dish again.
We decided we would try a couple of desserts and ordered the Tres Leche cake and the Cheese and Guava Empanada. The Tres Leche cake was sweet, moist, and spongy just like it should be. The empanada was a delicious surprise. The guava gave it the sweetness it needed because the cheese didn't have that much flavor and was a bit tough, assuming because it was deep-fried. The crust was crispy and flaky.
Star rating: ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ out of 5 - We gave the restaurant 4 stars because we weren't all 100% pleased with the food. But that being said, we would give it another try because we loved the atmosphere and the staff was superb. If you live in the area, we recommend trying The Sangria Bowl out for a change.
Cathy made this cute video, check it out!
Our rating system is 1 - 5 stars.
- 1 ⭐ = Poor. There’s nothing good about the restaurant. We won't be returning.
- 2 ⭐ ⭐ = Okay. The restaurant has one or two good qualities. It might be a delicious dish, helpful staff, or an inviting atmosphere. Still, you have no interest in visiting again.
- 3 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ = Good. A fine example of a specific kind of restaurant. It can be delicious food with excellent service. We may think about returning if we wish to have that particular cuisine.
- 4 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ = Excellent. Delicious food, appealing atmosphere, helpful staff, and brilliant service.
- 5 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ = Extraordinary. Meets an elite standard by which you judge all other restaurants. The staff is always ready to help, the premises are extremely clean, the atmosphere is lovely, and the food is both delicious and beautifully presented.
