Special Days to Celebrate... during the 4th week of June.
Well, I'm a bit late today, er, for yesterday. I needed to be several people yesterday, as I had a LOT of posting to do! Not to mention... getting ready for (another) yard sale on Saturday, barring RAIN, of course.
On to the special things to celebrate this 4th and last week in June.
~~*~~~*~~
4th Week Carpenter Ant Awareness Week National Camping Week
Hmmm.... CarpenterAntAwarenessWeek? I won't mention the ONE carpenter ant I saw climbing up over the side of our sofa! (Ick). Not like years ago when there used to be dozens of them doing that! Thank heavens that hasn't happened for a number of years!
Not planning (at this time.. lol) to do any searches on why this 4th week of June is dedicated to carpenter ants!!
24 - U.F.O. Day / Museum Comes To Life Day 25 - LEON Day (6 months until Christmas Day) Log Cabin Day 26 - Nationall Chocolate Pudding Day 27 - National Columnists Day. It's also: Captain Kangaroo's Birthday, Helen Keller's Birthday, and the Anniversary of the Melody for Happy Birthday Song 28 - Paul Bunyan Day 29 - Camera Day 30 - Meteor Day
Daily.. with urls to check out
24 - U.F.O. Day
Today.. WAS .... U.F.O. Day First documented UFO sighting on this day. http://familycrafts.about.com/cs/outerspace/l/blspship1.htm contains instructions on how to make a homemadeflyingsaucer from a paper plate. THOSE are the only flying saucers *I* want to see!! I live very near to Shag Harbour, N.S. where there was a U.F.O. sighting in the 1960's, (or was that the early 1970's?) I try to ignore it as much as possible. I'm fairly chicken when it comes to things of the "unknown". I'd rather be... red hatting!! (LOL)
25 - LEON Day (6 months until Christmas Day)
SIX months until Christmas!! How many of you have started your Christmas shopping yet? How many of you never stop Christmas shopping ..... LOL (me me!!) LEONisNOELspelledbackwards. It means 6 months until Christmas. http://familycrafts.about.com/od/christmascrafts/(null).htm Filled with Christmas Craft Projects - Activity Ideas On this page you will find.. links for 20 things to do for Christmas! Links given in my Forum.
26 - Nationall Chocolate Pudding Day
Well, of course, that's easy!! Pigoutonchocolatepudding! LOL Make the "real" kind.. you know, cooked on the stove. Tastes MUCH better than the store-bought in a tub kind, or even the "instant" chocolate pudding. For something really different (and FUN) to do.. LOL, with the instant chocolate (and other flavors) pudding http://familycrafts.about.com/library/projects/blpudpaint.htm FingerPaintingwithchocolatepudding!! I'm game, if you are! Sounds like a right old mess (lol) It's one craft where we get to lick our fingers afterwards!!
27 - Nationall Columnists Day
Well, I don't have a link for this special day. BUT, there are other things to celebrate on the 27th!
We learned about Paul Bunyan in Elementary School.. did you? I always loved the story!! http://www.paulbunyantrail.com/talltale.html To read the whole story on this site, just click on "NEXT". This tall tale is 17 pages!
I've re-started (is that a word?) an OLD craft of mine (from 20+ years ago!)
Making hubcap clocks!!
A little story... I had to junk my car; I LOVED my car! (I've loved ALL of my cars, over the years)
I saved a hubcap as a "souvenir". The garage owner suggested I "hang it on the wall".
LOL.
One of those "lightbulb" moments happened!!
Make a CLOCK out of it!
I did!!
What FUN my son (then 5 years old) and I had, travelling the roads of Nova Scotia, hunting for hubcaps in salvage yards, and trading off already made clocks for those hubcaps.
All in all, over a 5 year time frame.. I sold/ traded 100 or so of these clocks!
I sit in the sun, washing them, polishing them, putting them together... VERY relaxing!!
I've now got 3 in a local garage "on consignment" and will be giving away one as a "prize" at a local Antique Auto Show in July.
It's FUN to revisit the past!!
So, I'm celebrating this week as:
Revisit an old hobby week!!
LOLOL
Well, so much for that.... now let's see what is REALLY listed to celebrate this 3rd week of June!
Back in a flash with the listing....
