About This Club

Do you feel alone these days? Does the lack of community in the world make you a little sad? Do you maybe have issues staying on track physically or emotionally during the week? Welcome to Takes a Village, our new day to day community club and body doubling system. When going thrpugh the forum I seem to see alot of folks who want to be more involved but maybe dont see how or where to do so. I think we all feel maybe we dont have much "exciting" to share. This is your place. My hope is that active folks on here will start using this club and create an even closer mini community. So let me kind of explain. First off is the body doubling. This is where people just be together, either for real or emotionally, so that they can do tasks that feel overwhelming or hard. I will explain more in that section but this is where we help eachother get stuff done! We also still have our wonderful arts and crafts section. It will be managed by the talented Andriel who will have some fun new craft events to help us interact because that is the goal here. As much interacting as possible. With that in mind know this club only works if folks step out and actually comment/use it! We also have the Sanity Board. A place to get advice or input on daily things that you need to know before you lose your mind. Finally, the Accomplishment board where we will lift you up for all your successes, even if it is as small as loading the dishes or waking up (a tailored response to EVERY SINGLE POST from yours truly is garunteed). *whispers* We may even have our own live chat for daily things... So please! Come in and make this place even better with your wonderful selves.
  1. What's new in this club
  2. I love these ideas! Do they smell wonderful? I'm thinking of the smell of oranges and cinnamon! Mmmm! Put the mushrooms in a flower pot with black beans to hold them up! Use different colors and sizes! Add a pretty smell to any room you put them in!
  3. how fun!! great idea ideas! Thanks so much!
  4. Hello there, everyone πŸ‘‹πŸ» Summer is coming to an end now with Fall creeping in. Here is a craft to combine both. A bit of summer memory with fall coziness. Get those crafty supplies ready! We're using the peels of clementines, oranges can work too, that you cut in half. Scoop out the fruit, eat it for a snack. One craft to make is cut out a jack-o'-lantern face like so πŸŽƒ Funky faces is to be expected, haha πŸ˜… I used a pairing knife but maybe an exacto knife would be better. Next is let them dry. It's still warm enough that setting them outside should do that naturally. Or you can set them in the oven at 175 F for about 20-30 minutes depending on how thick the peels are. The other craft route is to turn these into mushrooms. Skip the carving step and go straight to drying. Paint the caps whatever mushroom color you want and then glue cinnamon sticks for the stem. πŸ„ Plain sticks from outside will work as well. Stick these little jack-o'-lanterns and mushrooms around your room for some woodsy decoration. String them along to make a garland using twine. Make these into ornaments. Whatever ideas you have, do it 😁 and share below!

    πŸͺ¨ August Crafts πŸͺ¨

    So happy I found where the post was made that brought me to this wonderful community! Oh, and I'm going to try this one to start out.
  6. This month's theme is pet rocks. A pocket sized companion to carry around with you or set on a desk to keep you company. Find a stone outside that catches your eye. Any color, any size! I did say "pocket sized" but even bigger is welcomed πŸ˜„ Go simple like my old Bernard here with googly eyes πŸ‘€ Or go detailed with a critter of your choice. Another idea is a favorite cartoon character. I like to use simple acrylic or craft paints. Then use a micro sharpie for fine outlines. You can use modge podge as a coating but I later found out clear nail polish gives a better finish. The choice is yours! What rock buddy would you create? πŸŽ¨πŸ–ŒοΈπŸͺ¨ I would love to see your ideas below 😁β™₯️

  14. here lately I have been more scatterbrained of late! And I keep forgetting to take my medicine in the morning. this would be my Zoloft and my Wellbutrin! I do have a reminder set on my phone and I watch,, but I am so very easily distracted and still manage to forget it somehow! if There's anybody up around seven, and you feel like popping in on me and saying, hey girl! you take your medicine today?? that would be really awesome!! and I would be ever so appreciative!
  15. very cute!! it's been a few years ago but I went to a local fair and they brought a butterfly enclosure with them! the first time I've ever seen anything like that at a fair ! it was so cool! this kinda reminds me of that!

    Paint by number

    Haven't been able to work on my painting as much as I want, but I've made a bit more progress.
  18. It's the middle of the summer and it is πŸ”₯HOTπŸ”₯ It's important to hydrate not only for us but our critter friends that pollinate! This theme for the month is make a hydration station. This can be a bird bath, butterfly feeder, hummingbird feeder, or a pool for bees. πŸπŸ¦πŸ¦‹ Here's a couple of ideas to get you thinking. https://www.ehow.com/way_5484767_homemade-butterfly-feeder.html?epik=dj0yJnU9dUZKNmpmYWhadUNsdFA3MEZwUTlYRjZsNVA2WFZrTFQmcD0wJm49OG11QVN0NU8tTzVMckphbzd4SWVzdyZ0PUFBQUFBR2hsNEFV Try repurposing items you already have in your living space. Then set your hydration station outside in the garden, front porch, deck, or window. Here is mine! I added in orange slices to attract with color and sweetness. To make butterfly food mix 1 part granulated sugar with 10 part water. Hummingbird food mix 1 part sugar and 4 part water. Bee food mix 1 part sugar to 1 part water. Use plain water for birds.
  19. We did it! We survived Kiddo's semi-annual dental check up and follow up appointment to remove a stubborn baby tooth. Xrays were taken, teeth were cleaned, tooth was removed and no one (dental staff, myself, or Kiddo) was injured! Not that the appointments were easy peasy, but they were by far better than previous appointments.

  20. Sooo... I have a few ideas, but time is limited, but then this wonderful opportunity presented itself today! In Iowa, we have an annual bike ride across the state called Ragbrai, every July. My town is hosting one of the overnight stops this year (a huge honor), so we were asked to have the kids decorate Tulips to post around town when the bike riders are here! We used paint today to decorate and I made mine very intentionally! 🀭 The kids thought it was the best one β€οΈπŸ’— I only used 3 colors to make it! Super fun! I really was thinking about Pride Awareness, but definitely cannot teach that without permission!
  21. Here is an update of where I am in the process lol
  22. Old school!!!
  23. Ooooo, a collage would be neat to see πŸ‘€ are you thinking of assembling it digitally or the old school way cutting and pasting. Painting rocks have become one of my favorite crafts. 😁 I look forward to what you come up with!
