Karma
noun
(in Hinduism and Buddhism) the sum
of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as
deciding their fate in future existences.
Over time people has restated this
as "what goes around comes around". How ever you want to think of it
or call it, it's real. This past week I have felt like a little good cosmic
karma has come my way.
About three years ago I made an
awesome Minecraft Theme BINGO game. You can find it here. It is a very nice set with
20 cards, a master card, and covers. As of today it has been re-pinned 2500
times, viewed on the blog 37,673 times, used in no less than 6 different countries,
and with 203 comments made. Most of the comments state how much they enjoy a
free finished printable. We all know that can be hard to find. Well this week I
found a free printable I needed.
I found Star Wars printables for movie night. On a
wonderful little site called Sandy Toes and Popsicle.
Okay let me back up just a second.
The reason I wanted Star Wars stuff was for our movie night. With Squeaker's
issues it can be really hard to take her to a movie theater. Lots of people
close by makes a momma nervous. Also because she is so small she has a hard
time sitting in the seat comfortable. Meaning she won't sit well for long, and
often can be disruptive to others around her. Combine that with the fact the
Star Wars came out in the middle of winter and everyone was sharing germs, well
Squeaker didn't get to see Star Wars in the theater. The rest of us took turns
and did, she felt pretty left out. We started watching the other movies at home
and then she pleaded for us to take her see the new one. It just wasn't
happening.
Well here it is a few months later
and the video is out. I got it in my head a few weeks ago we should do a
viewing party for Rayne. Make it a big deal with snacks, and special stuff. So
she can feel the excitement we did. I was trying to find Star Wars themed snack
ideas and that's when I found the printables.
This lady is a genius! Instead of
making whole new snack she just renamed them. Then she made the labels to share
with everyone. That's my karma. I sent awesome into the world and it came back
to me when I needed.
The only changes I made was the
chip cans. In the original pattern you have to cut the cans down to size. Well
the short stack Pringles cans are just about the right size. Not the super
small ones, the ones that from a distance look like full size, but when you get
close you realize they are smaller. Those ones are perfect, no resizing needed.
I also bought a giant bag of Gummy bears and put them in sandwich bags instead
of buying the pre-sized bags from the store. The other major change I made was
I used Ginger-ale in bottles not the traditional cans. The labels didn't fit as
well but they worked.
I hope everyone enjoys these as
much as I do. Please leave her thank you notes too. These things are hard work
and pats on the back are greatly appreciated by their creators.
May The Force Be With You!!!
