Lego Address Labels

I love Legos and I thought it would be cool to make address labels. I tried a few ideas for the photo and this is was I came up with.
I went into Lego Digital Creator and put a single 4x2 brick on the screen and then I took a screenshot. (go up to Tool Box and select Take a Schreenshot. It will save it to your pictures.)

Then I took it to Picnik and put the words on it. You could also use Photoshop if you wanted to. Then you print it up and tape it to your package or print it on sticker paper then put it on. Here are a few samples I made… (I came up with the address’s).
 




 

And then I got a photo of a brick from some building instructions and used that.
 

 
So, which do you like better? I like the first one’s best. Have a great week everyone!

And thanks to Ashoka for her outstanding performance. You deserve a Geek award! ;) ♥

Happy Valentines Day!!!!!♥


Happy Valentines Day everyone!!!!! Well I thought I would share one of my favorite valentines day memories. It was last year, I made Ashoka a softy of a Jawa. To go with it I made a sandcrawler out of a cardboard box. So when I gave it to her I put the Jawa in the sandcrawler and I played the music from the scene with the Jawas in Star Wars: A New Hope. I rolled the sandcrawler around the corner of the door and up to Ashoka, then she had to open it. Least to say she was thrilled! I loooved seeing the look on her face, especially when I first started the music and she was like “What“? lol But really ever valentines day is my favorite!


OMG! I am soooooooo sorry, I acsadentaly delited the other post about the giveaway. But I have the names of everyone so I can still do the giveaway. So I have drawn a name and have a winner. The winner is… (insert drum roll)

Hurray to you!!!! I will also be contacting you about sending it to you.
I would like to thank EVERYONE who entered in my first giveaway on my new blog. I loved hearing your wonderful valentines memories and thank you for the kind words! Here are some of my favorite comments.


“My favorite Valentine memory is of when I was 18 and made a huge, huge cookie for my boyfriend. It was in the shape of a heart and filled the entire cookie sheet. I decorated it with frosting and walnuts and chocolate chips and coconut. It was a huge hit! And a few years later I married the boyfriend. :D” ~LaTeaDah (This is my favorite!♥)



“What a lovely and charming giveaway! Everything is so divine. :) Our tradition: My husband and I always like to go out to the movies (this year it shall be "Valentine's Day") and dinner. We both LOVE Indian food, and that is where we shall go. Can't wait. He usually gives me flowers each year, but I prefer a red mix of lovelies and not just roses. I always buy him a box of chocolates (with nuts, his favorite).
Most sincerely, Theresa”


“My favorite Valentine memories are with my children, baking heart shaped sugar cookies. The kids loved to pour on the sprinkles and dip fingers in the frosting.
Happy Valentine's Day, Auberne.” ~Jody


Thanks again! Happy valentines day from Chris, Edward, Link, Brandon and me! Have a wonderful day!

Got milk? series three, part one.



Here is the third part in the got milk posters. It is Ashoka Tano and Asajj Ventress. Enjoy!


Don't mess with this

As a padawan to master Skywalker, I need all the strength I can get. That’s why I have 3 servings of dairy a day. Studies suggest the nutrients can help you maintain a healthy weight, plus the protein helps build muscle for a lean body. Because how else am I to keep up with him?



Drink well. Live well.
Got milk?
