Bunny Money

 I saw a really cute bunny money holder somewhere. I looked at it and thought, I can make that. I don't remember where it was that I found it, otherwise I would share the link with the original idea.

Anyway, I went to Cricut's Design space and set out to make my own. This is made with cardstock. I cut tow of the base piece which is the square with the slits and a bunny head. I glued them together to make it a little stronger. Next is the head, pink inside ear, nose and eyes. I added blush for the cheeks, black pen for the whiskers and mouth and around the eyes and a white pen for the parts in the eye. Lastly there were two piece for the paws and 4 pieces for the feet.



Then you just insert the money and roll it. I did have to secure the dollar bill with a bit of tape to keep it from unrolling.


I probably could have made the slits just a tad bit narrower but all in all I think it came out pretty cute. I'm going to replace the $1 with a $5 and tuck this in to Presley's Easter basket.

The cost of air

 When I posted a few days ago about my less than stellar start to my birthday, Pam left the following comment.

Hoping you had a great bday other than the issues you mentioned. My car tells me I have low air pressure in a tire, but don't tell me which tire. That becomes a pain in the rear. Plus, the fact that most places went up on the price of air....which is crazy. We pay for bottle water and we pay for AIR...lol

My car does the same. It will tell me low tire pressure but not which tire is low. That means when I go, I have to fill all 4 tires. She mentions that the price of air has gone up. A while back it used to cost a quarter to use the air pumps but then they went back to it being free. I'm thankful that I don't have to pay for it. 

It got me to wondering how many other places charge for air. Do they charge for air where you live?

Thanks to Sandra

 She recently posted about making a video with pictures from your google photos. I gave it a try. 

Apparently it's not working for me though. It's showing up as an image and not a video. Darn

While we're on the subject of Gibbs I have to tell you about how he amuses me when he's not annoying me. He's really quite intelligent and yet he can do the stupidest things.

I let him out in the back yard on his lead and he walks around the picnic table that is out there. When I call him to come in he can't get to the door because he's wrapped around the table. If I tell him go around the other way he actually does it and can easily come in without me having to go out and untangle him.

We were in the kitchen one day and I was making coffee. He apparently thought I was ready to go back downstairs to the Ann cave as he headed for the basement door. I said out loud, "I need to pee". He turned right around and went up the stairs to the bathroom.

Enjoy your Gibbs fix for the day

Out with Amanda

Last Saturday Amanda and I went to an Amish store. 






They Have the most gorgeous wood furniture there. Plus they also have bulk foods. Amanda bought some chocolate covered espresso beans




And I got some dip mix.  I made some with Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and it was delicious. This container holds quite a bit of mix and you only use 1/4 cup with 8oz of either sour cream or Greek yogurt. I'll be able to make quite a bit of dip.



After that we went and shopped for stuff for Easter dinner.
