So I came up with "CROP FOR A CAUSE" - a monthly event where paper crafters can gather to catch up on good times, projects, and make new friends. A $10 donation is requested, but not required. All donations from the event go to the monthly cause.<br />
<br />
In January, I am going to start out with the Lanfords. On November 10th Chad, 32, lost his valiant struggle with brain cancer leaving behind his wife and their two daughters (8 and 6). Skye, Chad's wife, is always thinking of ways to ease the lives of those around her, even while hers is changing forever. She would like to brighten the hospice in Wake County, North Carolina where her husband spent the last months of his life on Earth. You can read more about the Lanfords at <a href="http://www.thelanfords.com/">http://www.thelanfords.com/</a>. They are a fantastic family.<br />
<br />
CROP FOR A CAUSE - January 15th any time from 10am to 10pm. Light snacks, lunch and dinner will be available. I will also have my Cricut and cartridges, Close to My Heart stamps, inks, paper, Zutter (please bring your own rings), and other fun embellishments and goodies available.<br />
<br />
It should be a good time. RSVP so I know how much food to have available. As always, children are welcome if you don't have other arrangements. Please keep in mind I do have an indoor/outdoor cat and a Cocker Spaniel - both are kind and gentle but spend a great deal of time inside (I am thinking about allergies).<br />

In my home, that means our daughter, Kylene, is starting first grade and I am returning to teaching high school English at an online public high school. This year, it also means my husband is heading to the "homework table" while he finishes up his degree.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #ffe599; color: purple;"><span style="background-color: #ffe599; color: purple;">I was actually really looking forward to going back to school; while it's a busy time of year, it is also a time of normalcy and routine. This year I am teaching Sophomore English for the first time ever! And now that</span> Kylene is in first grade, she doesn't need either of us to walk her to or from the bus stop.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #ffe599; color: purple;">And it also means it's time for the new Close to My Heart Idea Book, and time for the last edition of the quarterly edition. Next year the Idea Book will only come out twice a year and will be less expensive and BIGGER! So, in this case, BIGGER = BETTER! Until then hurry and check out the current Idea Book for all of the latest and greatest scrapbooking, card making, and paper crafting products!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #ffe599; color: purple;">Packed with new colors, new papers, fabulous new stamps, and great alterable items you'll fall in love with something on every page! Join me for my very first Idea Book Celebration Open House...Saturday, September 18th from 2pm to 5pm at the Fircrest Community Center (555 Contra Costa, Fircrest 98466). I will be there along with two other companies - Tastefully Simple and Simply Fun.</span>A Day in My Life...Mommy of ONEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10756981856478844524noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948096822370882925.post-44907733031828793602009-07-06T08:44:00.000-07:002010-09-04T21:10:59.279-07:00Alter This! Projects<div style="text-align: center;">I have really taken a keen interest in finding things at yard sales or thrift stores that can be altered, given new life and made useful. Things like: wooden shelves, clipboards, frames, boxes, mats, composition books, notebooks...</div><div style="text-align: center;">Turn a plain, simple clipboard into a picture frame / holder. Add magnets to the back and hang on the fridge. Or hang on a hook from the wall in your office, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom as a picture frame. Or use as a clipboard to write on with a cute, delicate background. </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Take a plain frame and cover it with cute patterned paper. Add your favorite picture...Makes a cute gift too.</div><br />

While I am particular to certain companies - I am an Independent Consultant for Close to My Heart - I love to find things at thrift stores and give them new life. </span><br /><span style="color:#663366;"></span><br /><span style="color:#663366;">I love to alter things and give them new homes and experiences. I know that may sound weird, but there is something almost sad about selling something one has created. But it's nice to be able to share what you have made with someone who appreciates it enough to purchase it.</span><br /><span style="color:#663366;"></span><br /><span style="color:#663366;">And, I am always trying to get caught up with my own scrapbook projects...my daughter's album, my nieces albums, pet albums, our Disneyland Paris trip, our England / Scotland album from when we lived overseas...it never seems to end.</span><br /><span style="color:#663366;"></span><br /><span style="color:#663366;">Lastly, I really enjoy swaps. </span><br /><span style="color:#663366;"></span><br /><span style="color:#663366;">It is my fervent wish that you will find something useful in my area, and that you will change it up and make it your own. Challenge yourself: make the extraordinary out of the ordinary!</span>A Day in My Life...Mommy of ONEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10756981856478844524noreply@blogger.com0
