This beauty came from my SIL Sarah.
(and yes, she sells them - they are beautiful - ask me)
We were together last week playing with
other friends and they were all beading and I was,
of course making more roses.
They are going to a local sale this weekend,
but if interested in some more white ones,
let me know, I have quite a few dozen.
About 1/4th of the way through this necklace
I leaned over and said "keep me in mind while
you are making it; it will be going home with me."
My postal lady thought perhaps it was my birthday week
because several other treasures also came my way.
Erin made me these adorable doily baskets, see
They were filled with chocolate... now, where did that chocolate go?
Connie sent me this sewn text garland which is perfect for me and a handmade journal with
the cutest little Scotties and ruffled edge.
I always seem to smash the small paper
notebooks in my purse, so this will be my
newest tool to stay organized.
I am so grateful to you my friends.
Thank you for all the great comments
and emails on my Just Sayin' Post.
Sorry I scared a couple of you,
but I think we have the facts all squared away now.
It was a much grander issue than I thought,
which was borne out by the numerous emails
discussing it with me, while afraid to comment publicly.
I have said it again and again.
Play nice.
At the post office on Friday I observed a screaming fight between two patrons, one male about thirty,
fuming about the wait in line ( he'd been there all of 4 minutes ) and an elderly woman who
loudly said with a snarky tone
"well then go ahead of me if you are in such a big hurry."
Next thing they are shouting at each other in
front of everyone including several children
also in the lobby.
It ended with him making a very crude comment
about her weight and out he stormed.
Pause here please while I sigh, and shake my head in disgust.
If adults set this example for our youth is there any hope
for kindness and courtesy in our futures?
Speaking of our futures, I'm almost done ( lol)
Project Genesis was absent this month.
Only two people inquired about it.
I would love to continue but it appeared
to me that there was not much interest or else it
is merely a time thing with so many other parties
that help some of you promote your shows and shops,
and we all know how time is a balancing act here.
I also think that there was confusion as
to what was permitted as material.
It need not be elaborate,
just informative and not self promoting.
So...I still feel it is an extremely important discussion
especially in light of what we have just witnessed
in Japan, and the current global conferences on glacier
melting, but you need to tell me if you wish to continue.
I adore the decorating, the white, the antiques, the food,
as much as you all do but I try to be/do more than that.
I am a citizen of the world and for the world.
My analytical shows a ginormous jump
on PG days, even with only a handful participating,
so it has other value to you beyond
just caring for the planet, it still promotes your blog.
one of my favorite charities, currently has
corporations matching your donations
so your money is doubled, sometimes tripled.
Once again, caring for the planet, and each other.
OK, I'm finished,
Go in peace.
