5Q Friday...12/30

1. What's the oldest piece of clothing in your closet? I have this khaki-colored trench style long raincoat that I've had forever. I keep thinking it's something I'll eventually pull out again but never seem to have the nerve to wear it...{it needs to go to Goodwill} I did finally replace it with the cutest raincoat from Land's End {color: pink begonia}.

2. How many random blog readers have you met? haven't met any random blog readers.....although I do have a few friends/family members that follow my blog...:O)

3. Do you let your kids stay up till midnight on New Years Eve? (Or, if you don't have kiddos yet, did you get to stay up until midnight as a child?)

We are a family of night owls, so you know we have always watched the New Year come in...complete with watching the ball drop in Times Square {via tv of course}, and a few fireworks!!

 4. What are the gas prices where you live? right around $3.22

5. What is one resolution that you know you should do but are too afraid to try?

I don't usually make resolutions because I never seem to stick with them. I guess the resolution I've made the most over the years is to exercise more. I start off great, but sometime around mid-January, my enthusiasm seems to wear off, and I'm back to my old habits again. Maybe this year...............

Merry Christmas!!!!

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a healthy, happy NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!

DIY Project: Binder Ring Mini

Yes, I do have another obsession: binder rings! They come in lots of sizes, are just so handy and make it so easy to put together a notebook, or mini-scrapbook. I've been looking for an idea for storing the many user names/passwords I have scribbled on note paper all over the place, most of which I can never find or remember!! Do you know how many times I've forgotten a password???? A fellow blogger shared this idea on Pinterest, here is what I came up with:

For this project I used some scrapbook "scrap" paper, a few embellishments for the cover, and a 2" binder ring to hold it all together. I divided the book into sections alphabetically and used my label maker for the dividers. Now, whenever I register on a new site, I make a card for it with the web address, my user name, and my password and add it to the ring. I keep this in the desk drawer, right by the computer. No more searching for passwords!! This was my first project using binder rings, but I'm already working on a mini-scrapbook. I'll share that project soon!!
