How I Became Shared Jelly

When my husband and I first got married we used to get messages on our answering machine for "Shared" and "Jelly" instead of Jared and Shelly. The first time we chuckled a little over it and by the fourth or fifth time, we decided the name should stick somewhere. And so, I've been sharing jelly all over the internet since. Enjoy!

Flying Ghosts

We actually made these ghosts at Cub Scouts.  I have made similar ghosts out of face tissues before, but I thought it was clever to make them out of recycled plastic grocery bags.  Plus, it makes them perfect for outdoors.  I hung our outside over our entryway to greet our guests.


So simple the kids can easily do this craft.  You cut some (imperfect) squares from white plastic grocery bags.  You crumple 2 of the squares, place them in the middle of a 3rd square and tie a piece of yarn around it like a head.  I love that they blow spookily in the wind by our tree.
