Snail Mail

What a cool idea this is-send a letter without an envelope, cutting or glue.

Check it out HERE.

And they have different designs: plain, lilac, easter, christmas, valentine's day...

Who's hiring?

I want a job where I get paid to sit at home all day and make crafty things.

And then when I want to go off to do things like work with kids, volunteer, travel, enjoy great weather, and whatever else....I can.
And when the times comes I get to be a stay at home mom and possibly homeschool my children.

......so, who's hiring for this position?

haha :)

But really, I just found a bunch of different Christmas wreaths I want to make. If only I had that job! But I will do some with our after school kids over Christmas break! YAY! :)

Sitcoms

Lately my new thing, while Joe is not home or is busy doing something else and I am looking for a way to kill time, is to watch random sitcoms on Netflix.

I never realized quite how much of a fan I was of them. Here are a few qualities I enjoy about sitcoms...

• They are pretty short, so you can watch one when you only have a little bit of time or you can fit in a good number when you have a chunk of time--it's a win/win! 

• They are funny. 
• I love the simple, everyday humor in sitcoms.

• Plus, I grew up watching a lot of these..."Everybody loves Raymond" immediately comes to mind. I watched that with my parents all the time. So it's like a past-time for me also.

So yeah, just a few minutes ago when Joe "kicked me off" the t.v. where I had been watching sitcoms before he got home, I decided that before I got on the computer and back on Netflix for more sitcom viewing...I would write about my new pleasure--sitcoms! :)

Rationalizing

Considering my recent posts, and their dealings with cake, I thought this was only appropriate to post.

Another gem of a find....

As I continued to peruse the blog I was just discussing in my last post, I saw this comment that a "Dawn" left on one of Kate's posts. It is amazing. Read below:

When my grandmother was 98 1/2 years old she went into a physical decline. In the hospital my sisters and I sat with her, combed her hair & rubbed her hands. I remember a nurse came in and looked at my grandmother. Suddenly I realized that to the nurse my grandmother looked old, haggard, her hair was whisps of white. The nurse could not see my grandmother! She could not see how lovely she was, how funny, how kind. She couldn’t see my grandmother’s long life, her strength thru hard times, her faithful love for her family. The nurse could only see with her eyes. I looked am my grandmother. I COULD see her. It was like magic.

Kate, if you are with people who can’t see you, you are with the wrong people.

Now, read it again...this time, put YOUR name in the blank. I mean it. READ IT AGAIN, NOW!

_____________, if you are with people who can’t see you, you are with the wrong people.

Those who are the right people...those true friends, don't think of you like that. They see YOU. They see your beauty. Embrace that and stop the other voices in your head. Don't let them bring you down!

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.
God made you that way.
