When you think of a snow globe you see a clear glass sphere containing a heartwarming scene highlighted by flaking snow. It is a sight that will catch a child’s or even a grown-up’s attention, curiosity, and to some extent, approbation. But even the most meticulously made snow globe comes from a humble beginning.

A snow globe is actually easy to make. You can even pull up things at home to create your very own snow globe. All you need is a few things and a little know-how. For the basics here are the materials you would need to collect:

A clear glass jar with a tightly sealing cover – This may range from a variety of shapes and sizes. Used materials like a pickle jar, salsa jar, mason jar or whatever you can get your hands on will do.

Waterproof decorative supplies – These are what you will need for your scene. Best to think of a theme so that you know what you will need to collect. A variety of things would suit your needs like tiny figurines, baked clay, plastic things – go wild.

Crushed eggshells or glitters – This is what you will be using for snow. Remember to boil the egg and remove the film inside if you will be using egg shells. If you choose to put in glitters make sure they are not too small because they will just float.

Clear sealant (aquarium sealants work well for this project)

Glue gun or waterproof glue (to be used to attach decorations within the globe)

Distilled water or mineral oil

Glycerin (if distilled water is used this will be the additive to make the snow fall slower)

A bigger jar cover or a wooden circle (this is optional but will be very helpful as a base)

Crafts dcor material (to be used to finish your snow globe)

These are the materials you would wish to collect if you want to make your own snow globe. Keep in mind that your imagination is the only limit here and these are just examples of what you can use.

For the procedure you can do things a bit differently if you wish. Mix it up depending on your preference.

Attach your scene on the inner part of the jar lid using a glue gun or waterproof glue. Make sure you make them stable enough to withstand a good shaking. Let the glue dry well before exposing it to the liquid environment. Also make sure they are elevated so that they are at a good visible level.

Put your liquid medium in the jar but make sure to leave some space. The scene decoration will displace some of the liquid.

Put your improvised snow. If you are using egg shells you can crush them by using a rolling pin. Roll it over a bag with egg shells of about 2-3 eggs. Zip locks work well for this purpose.

Put some sealants on the inner rim of the jar lid before screwing it shut.

Carefully screw the lid on your jar with snow and liquid.

Seal the outer part of the lid with a bit more sealant.

Finish up your project by decorating the outer part.

And there you have it. Your home made snow globe.

Taking a vacation is something that you look forward to all year. Coming up with a location to take your vacation can be very expensive when you add on the transportation, lodging costs, food costs, and activities.

Vacation rentals are really a furnished piece of property that you can rent. This is a really great alternative to a traditional hotel stay. In Europe it has been common for years to use a vacation rental for holiday lodging.

Since finishing high school, I have been working two full-time jobs. I want to make as much money as I can so that I can go to Europe next summer and still have enough money to pay my tuition when I go back to college in the fall. One of the things that I missed the most about working so much, is that I no longer had time to watch my favorite TV shows.

I decided that I was going to buy a Zune and a Zune dock cable, so that I could use it to watch my favorite shows when I had breaks at work. It has turned out really well and I think that I am almost caught up with most of the episodes.

One of the most important accessories is my Zune car charger, as it is the only time I have free to charge up the player so that I can use it when I am at work. I also bought a Zune travel charger, so that it does not matter where I am when it needs to be charged. It was a great investment and now I feel like I am not missing out on everything because of my work.

In one of my four semi-professional productions, I was on stage with a talented young woman during Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast.” I played Mrs. Potts. She played Belle. That was in 2005.

Fast forward to about a month ago. I was talking to our “Beauty and the Beast” director who had come back to town to guest star in “How to Succeed In Business Without Really Trying.” After the performance we were talking about mutual friends in the theatre when he mentioned the girl who’d played Belle. He said she was now in the Broadway production of “The 25th Annual Putnam Spelling Bee.” I know a Broadway star!

I headed online right away to see what kind of ticket prices I could get for it with a presale password. But I found out the show had closed. I’m not without hope, however. They may be taking a Broadway touring company around the country, and maybe I can see her in that. Regardless, I can say, “I knew her when…”

When my husband planned our honeymoon, he wanted every single detail to be absolutely perfect. He wouldn’t tell me where we were going, but when I accidentally saw the pamphlet for hummer limos, I knew that it was going to be the best experience that I ever had in my life.

I figured that if he had every detail planned right down to the limo hire, that it would be an incredible adventure for us to start out our married life with. He was incredibly romantic and I knew that would play a big part into the activities that took place over the course of the two weeks in which we were planning on being away.

I did not find out that we were going to Paris until we were at the airport, waiting to board our flight. When we arrived in France, the limousine hire drove us to the most fabulous hotel I had ever seen, with a complete view of the Eiffel Tower. The trip was amazing and I often wonder if Mr. Romantic will ever be able to top that.

Right out of college I was invited to join a bowling league with women who moms of some of my classmates. I never really understood why they asked me, but apparently they were desperate, because I wasn’t that good of a bowler. For that matter, I was never much of an athlete, but I bowled better than I played at any other sport. That should tell you something.

We opted to get golf shirts with our team name stenciled across the back. No one liked the polyester ones.

Gradually I improved. Despite the difference in generations, we had a lot of fun. So what that we weren’t all bowling 200 every game.

Except somehow we won the league. I still don’t know how it happened.

When my daughter saw the trophy, lo these many years later, she was duly impressed. The thing is, I had to ask Mom about it. I didn’t remember winning. Someone was obviously bowling some serious two hundreds when I wasn’t looking! I do know it wasn’t I…

There are a few musical groups that I absolutely love and I listen to their music every single day.  Some of them are new and popular and some of them are older, but I still like their music just the same.  I am really begin to music and always have been and I really do believe that music is the universal language.

For me, there is nothing better in life than to go to live shows and see your favorite performers on a stage.  When I do this, it feels as though they are singing does to me and there’s no place I’d rather be than in the audience mesmerized on what they’re singing.

When I’m in my bedroom listening to CDs, I sometimes like to close my eyes and pretend that I’m just sitting there in the audience as my favorite performer is on the stage.  It is a great fantasy and it is what I like doing best when I am feeling bored or upset.

When I decided that I was going to buy my very first paintball gun, I did not realize that it would be so hard to decide which one to get. As I was only fourteen, I worked very hard, cleaning yards and shoveling snow, so this is a lot of money to me and I always make my decisions very carefully.

I really liked the Tippmann brand of paintball guns and accessories, but I was not sure that it was what I really wanted. They were very expensive, but they would probably be better quality and last longer than some of the cheaper ones. I didn’t want to spend my money on something that was going to break or fall apart.

I also really liked the Spyder paintball guns. It was a really good name in sports equipment and they had a really good warranty on their products. It took me awhile to figure out which one to go with, but eventually, I purchased a Spyder.  Let me just say, it was worth every penny.

I went to do an online search to see where I could find some cheap NBA tickets. I found that I could probably get cheap ones on eBay, but I didn’t want to bid on them and I did not want to wait for the auction to end to find out if I had won them. I would rather just buy them and know that I have them.

I do not buy NBA tickets very often and I really wanted to go to a particular game. I found out that the guy I really like was going to be there and I wanted to just “casually” bump into him while I was there. The things I will do for love. But, in my defense, he is really good looking and seems to be a perfect gentleman.

I talked my friend into going with me. This took some doing, as she thinks it is silly to go out and buy NBA tickets just to try and impress a guy, but she did agree to go if I paid for her ticket. She also admitted that he was really good looking and that if we do fall madly in love she will take back everything she said. I am keeping my fingers crossed because I love it when she is wrong.
