Mad Libs Monday: “It’s About Time” by Marie LeBaron of Make and Takes
(Our most recent guest Mad Libber was Shelle from BlokThoughts. You’ll love her “Instructions for the Babysitter” Mad Libs!)
Today’s “It’s About Time” post comes to us courtesy of Shelle Blok and is from the Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Libs book.
I am still trying to remember the first time I met Marie. It feels like I’ve known her almost as long as I’ve been blogging. I do have a fond memory of a Saturday-morning craft day with kids in tow to help decorate the Christmas tree at The Christmas Box House. She and Jyl had put together a really fun event complete with craft sticks, glue, glitter and even some yummy cupcakes.
Marie is the queen of kid-friendly crafts. She is so über talented in this area, my little brain can’t even fathom it. She’s involved in lots of great blogger-related events like Social Luxe Lounge and Eat. Blog. Run. plus a few more I’m sure I missed. Her site, Make and Takes, has become a household name and it’s not hard to see why.
After the story you’ll find a few interesting facts about Marie. Enjoy!

If you were stranded on a desert island, preferably in the Caribbean, which famous person would you want with you and why? Martha Stewart, so together we could craft a way to get home!
Happy Monday!

I think Marie and my husband would both take Martha Stewart. Unfortunately for completely different reasons… He has the hots for Martha.

Emily – Thanks so much for the fun feature! It turned out great. Can you tell I have Halloween on the brain with all the candy and bat words?! I haven’t done a Mad Libs in years! I guess I need to pick up a few, my son who’s 7 will thought this was so funny! Thanks again!
