Easy Christmas Gift Ideas 6#

Here`s today`s idea:
Take a scrabble piece and glue a piece of scrapbook paper on the front, then take sanding paper and sand it, after it dries. Take a piece of wire and glue it to the back (use super glue), then curve the wire so it forms a hook and hang on the tree.

Here is today`s idea:
Take one penny and wire (we use telephone wire from a friend who does work on the telephone wires and the wire he gave us is old and can`t be used) and wrap the wire in a X shape around the penny, then take any left over wire and make a hook. Now hang on tree.

Cheesecake 2#

We just celebrated my sister`s birthday and instead of a cake she had a Cheesecake. To be exact she had a Carmel Pecan Cheesecake. It was so good. I love it. It is so light and fluffy how can anyone not love it? Today my Dad made a pumpkin Cheesecake to sell at a farmers market. But going to this farmers market is not the only way to get some Cheesecake. You can also go to
face book and look up Real Mans Cheesecake or tell me if you want some and I`ll email it to my Dad. You can also give one for a gift.

Joanna ate some banana.
She is 8 mos, has blue eyes, brownish hair, is crawling and is starting to eat real food.
She loves to stand and to watch us vacuum. She is perfectly cute. She is slightly smaller than her 4 mos, old cousin Joey and is hugged and cuddled all the time.

State History Assignment 11#

What is a state seal? Not merely decorative symbols of statehood, the seals of state have been used to designate official acts of state through the ages, and their use is strictly prescribed by law. I think state seals are like snapshots of each state`s history

What is your state’s seal?
I`m copying this from a book:
The great seal of the state shall be 2 1/2 inches in diameter and shall consist of the coat of arms of the state within a circle having a diameter of 1 3/4 inches, surrounded by the words "THE GREAT SEAL OF THE STATE OF OHIO" in news gothic capitals.
The coat of arms of the state shall consist of the following device: a circular shield; in the right foreground of the shield a full sheaf of wheat bound and standing erect; in the left foreground, a cluster of 17 arrows bound in the center and resembling in form the sheaf of wheat; in the background, a representation of Mount Logan, Ross county, as viewed from Adena state memorial; over the mount, a rising sun three-quarters exposed and radiating thirteen rays to represent the thirteen original colonies shining over the first state in the northwest territory, the exterior extremities of witch form a semicircle; and uniting the background and the foreground, a representation of the Scioto river and cultivated fields....
When the coat of arms of the state is reproduced in color, the colors used shall be substantially the same as the natural color of the terrain and objects shown.

When was it established?

The Great Seal of the State of Ohio has undergone several design changes throughout its history. The rotunda of the Statehouse, for example, has a magnificent skylight with a handpainted version of a Seal that was designed in 1847. This version is similar to Ohio's present seal, but features a canal boat that is totally missing from today's seal.

In an attempt to reign in the design of the seal, the Legislature officially adopted Ohio's modern version in 1967, modifying it in 1996. The Scioto River flows across the center of the seal, separating cultivated fields from Mount Logan. Thirteen rays of a rising sun radiate over the mountain, symbolizing the 13 original colonies. In the foreground stands a sheaf of wheat, representing agriculture and bounty. Mimicking the sheaf of wheat is a bundle of 17 arrows, symbolizing Ohio as the 17th state to join the Union.

What does it represent about your state?
The seal of the state of Ohio is a symbol of the authority and sovereignty of the state and is a valuable asset of its people. It is the intent of the state government to ensure that appropriate uses are made of the state seal and to assist the secretary of state in the performance of the secretary's constitutional duty as custodian of the seal.

Post a picture of your state seal


Is there something interesting about your state seal?Yes, I think that what it stands for is interesting:
The seal of the state of Ohio is a symbol of the authority and sovereignty of the state and is a valuable asset of its people. It is the intent of the state government to ensure that appropriate uses are made of the state seal and to assist the secretary of state in the performance of the secretary's constitutional duty as custodian of the seal.
