I, for one, will be interested in catching this show.  (And while you are over at her blog, check out some of Angela’s beautiful artwork.

Great idea for a family portrait.

A sweet entry, and a great idea especially in light of all of the issues of bullying.

I would like for Michelle to prepare me a lunch every day! 

Adorable!  That Shelby is a really good sport.

Lovin’ this today.

These look fun!!!

And a poem for you today:

What if…..?

So, my friends the Ruby family had this idea.  What if a peace message went viral?  This is their 10  year old son Wesley with his own response to Jon Stewart’s call for sanity.  Check him out.  Share the link.  I mean, what if???

So, I’ve discovered that there are folks who like office supplies…..like enough to blog about them. Like this blog, or then there’s this blog, or this one.

One of my girls really loves Mike and Ike’s. I should make her some of these!

Photo booths were a very fun and important part of my teen years, so of course I love this. Here’s my first stab at it..

I HAVE to learn to thread my sewing machine. I could so easily whip one of these up, and I love the look.

Oooohh. I’m lovin’ these crowns!

I’m doing this. I have some paint sample books squirreled away.

Happy Wednesday!

Six Word Saturday

Awareness is good.  Action is better.

As many of you know, I work in a clinic that serves more than half of the HIV+ patients in our state.  Tomorrow is a very important day for our community.  Of course, the funds that are raised on walk  day are vital to each to each of the agencies that serve this community.  But it is also a day to continue to try to raise public awareness.  Issues come and go, and AIDS (especially in America) seems to have dropped off folks radar screen.  At least at this point, our financial support of the AIDS Walk appears to be down dramatically.  If you live in Louisville, join us tomorrow and stand in solidarity with this brave community of folks.  And if you can’t be there, please consider making a donation.   I

So, I got my 2011 planner today.  And I’m hopeful.  For years I have relied on an old shell of a Franklin Planner with the monthly calendars, and for my daily lists, I’ve utilized this system:

Yep.  File cards and a binder clip.  I’ve used this for a good 20 years.  I’ve tried other things along the way.  Even had a Palm Pilot for a while.  But I’m a paper person and the cards worked.  This year I wanted something smaller than the big Franklin binder that kept getting full of stuff I really didn’t have to carry around.  Thus began my search for the perfect planner.  The one I got today is not perfect.  But it’s seeming like it will work.  We’ll see. 

BUT, if you like me are very taken with different planners, I have a great little site for you.  It’s where I found mine. I went for the Quo Vadis Daily Pocket.  Who knew there were so many options?!!

Don’t you want to be a guest at Julie’s house?

I want to sit down and make a life list now!  What would you put on yours?

Okay, I don’t have any decorating ideas for these folks, but they are living my favorite recurring dream!  For years I have dreamed of finding a room in my house that I didn’t know I had. I haven’t had that sweet dream for a while, but this just reminded me of the joy of it.

Fun idea for pumpkins

More food on a stick here and here.

Home!

This makes me happy……

but THIS makes me happier!

So nice to have my girls at home this weekend.
