My "Cut Up Credit Card" Ornament

Every year, I like to buy or make a new ornament for our Christmas to build our collection and still make it meaningful. This year, I heard Dave Ramsey read an email from a fan of his show, "The Dave Ramsey Show" on the radio, tell him about a credit card ornament he made, which gave me an idea of what to do with the credit cards that we took out of our wallets, since we started our Financial Peace University classes back in October. And voila! We now have our new ornament for the year!

And each year we pull out this ornament to put it onto our tree, we will remember that 2011 was the year that we decided to no longer be slaves to the credit card companies and chose to be debt free!! We are on our way to financial peace! Thanks Dave!

We Have Lift-Off

I took a cue from Jessa over at Happily Home Sewn and posted a "Follow that Helmet" map in the right hand column. She makes these super cute capes and sells them in her Etsy shop. I noticed on her blog she tracks them on Google Maps. I've always wanted to see a compilation of where my helmets have traveled to, so I hope she doesn't mind that I stole her idea! Take a look in my right-hand column. And if you scroll on the map, you can see that there is a helmet in France and 2 in Australia! I've even sent a helmet to Canada with Canadian flag stickers on it, instead of my standard US flag stickers!
