A wonderful cause, in case you're interested...

For anyone who might be interested in a charitable opportunity this holiday season, this is a wonderful cause. (I'm sponsoring two children, too.)

This plea was sent out by the organization's owner:

Subject: Deadline for mailing Elf packages

I'm beginning to feel desperate. The deadline for getting elf gifts into the mail is DECEMBER 3 -- one week away! BUT we still have several kids who don't have sponsoring elves!

I've sent a request for help to everyone in my email address book, so I'm at a loss as to what more I can do. If you know of an individual, club, church group, or group of co-workers who might be willing to help, please give them information and send them to the web page at http://www.hugsandhope.org/elf.htm

Thanks!

Hey, peeps!

That's peeps, as in, short for "people". As in, "My peeps!"

Yo, whazzup, my peeps?!

LOL Don't know where that came from. I haven't been posting regularly, and I just wanted to make sure my blog was still breathing. My father was diagnosed with lung cancer 2 months ago, so I have had a very busy autumn so far (so have my sisters and the rest of my family).

I will find some time to be crafty, though. I have to fill my cup, if you know what I mean. You probably do, since you're my peeps, and all.

Gotta go. I have a few quiet moments, and I'm going to go play Riven on my laptop for a little while.

Peace out!

iTouch, uTouch, we all touch my new iPod Touch!!!

Hubby surprised me with a new gadget last night! (Did you know that I'm a certified gadget girl? OK, maybe not certified, but definitely certifiable!)



(Clicky the image for more details.)

I'm not giving up last year's Christmas present, though:



I think they call it the iPod classic now. It used to be called the 5th generation iPod. It was the latest and greatest last Christmas...now I don't even think they sell them anymore (now they're better than ever with lots more memory for a lot less $$).

Technology changes so quickly. I definitely can't keep up, but it's fun to have a new gadget now and then to drool over.

Sharing...

Wow, it's been a while! I could bore you with all of the life stuff that's going on, but instead, I'll just share a couple of fun blogs I've stumbled upon of late.

The Craft Gossip Blog has blog chatter about everything crafty. There's a little network of blogs that specialize on several crafty topics. My favorites, needless to say, are Knitting News, Scrapbooking, and Stamping.

I also just found out about The To Do List Blog, which is perfect fun for me, because I tend to run my life by to do lists. I've just found it, so I haven't explored it yet, but you can best believe it's on the top of my To Do List to check it out!
