1) I love the chalkboard I re purposed out of a twee painting in a gold plastic frame...just a couple of bucks and yet everyone that walks in loves it and wants to know where I got it. They never guess that there are a couple of insipid girls carving an apple and gaudy plastic underneath........
2) I have figured out a coupe of ticket items for my woodbadge tickets.
3) I learned something new today....I don't like candy corn (I knew that) or even peanuts too often, but at our craft day today, my friend made me taste a candy corn and a peanut together...whala! It tasted like a salted nut roll!
whoda thunk it?

1) Meeting with my friends tonight for stamp group. Even if we didn't make a thing, it is therapy just hanging out together. I have been crafting with some of them for 15 years.
2) Watching the kittens play together. It makes me laugh, even better, in 5 days we can give Smalls to her family.
3) Working on an ATC swap with my cutie daughter. I can't wait to get them back, the other people signed up are from all over including a couple of them from Australia.

1) Shon called me safe and sound from his hotel room, he did a lot of driving to different towns today, so it is a relief for him to be tucked up and not on the road.
2) I signed the twinners Liss and Joe up for Venture acting classes. Technically Lissie should be in the Jr. High one, but they thought she was too mature to be in with the younger kids and wanted to put her in the High School aged one so that she was with others who were as serious about acting and stage combat as she is. I am proud of her. I wasn't sure if she would like being in the same class as Joe but when I told her she was thrilled and so was he. It is a blessing for me too because it means only one night of traveling down there. :-)
3) My design mojo is back. While driving up the hill, I designed (in my head) two cards and a witch box for stamp group. I came up with some cool techniques that I hope work. I will have time to try them tomorrow. I really love designing projects.

1) I am grateful that we live in the country that we do. It is not perfect, but I am thankful to be here. I remember how frightening it was 10 years ago....
2)I am thankful we could go help the bloodbank today with their 9/11 blood drive. It is a small thing to do but so important.
3)We met one of Ali's donors today. It was a total surprise. It was during the blood drive and I think that everyone was crying. Ali shared his story first, then the coordinators got up and talked about how our family helps out by working at the blood drives, sharing Ali's story and doing publicity for them. They had called Shon and I up to the front of the room and we didn't know why. We were a little bit embarrassed because we like to serve behind the scenes. Then they announced that one of Ali's donors was there. He came up and went to shake Ali's hand and Ali just flew into his arms and said thank you. His arms tightened around Ali and at that point anyone who wasn't already crying started to. Men and women both, including several soldiers. We were then able to go and sit and visit with him. We learned about him and he learned about us.
We are so blessed.
