Project Linus and Wordsmith.org

Yesterday I was headed into one of the county facilities here for our monthly Master Gardener meeting and I went in through a different door than normal and found myself surrounded by afgans, boxes of yarn, sewing machines and women knitting and sewing. Wow, that was complete serindepity! What I found was the local capter meeting of Project Linus! They are structured in such a way that really makes it easy to bring donations on a monthly basis and they have late hours on alternate months to accomodate those of us who work durring the day. I'm so happy I went in throught the wrong door!

I was also very happy today to find a way to link to the Wordsmith.org's A.Word.A.Day to which I have been a suscriber for years now. So, now you can enjoy their word of a day right here along with their quote of the day.

Tai Ping Ornaments

Here are some Christmas ornaments I made for our corporate Christmas tree donation to Harris Arts Center in Calhoun, GA. These were made (mostly) using recycled materials from our marketing department. Clockwise they are "Great Peace", simple cone ornaments, an oragami ornament, Tea Bags and a Monkey for the Chinese zodiac calendar. Here is the finished tree.

Pink Peacock for the cure

I stumbled across a great flickr group today Passionately Pink for the Cure In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Yahoo! is donating $1 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure for each pink photo added to this pool up to $50,000. I've added 4-5 and will add more when I find them. Please consider adding some, it's free to join flickr and it's a great cause!
