make, share

Change of plans

I made four more little totes this week:

I keep thinking of cute ways to embellish them (ric-rac, eyelet trim, buttons, flower pins) but these need to be as "fair" as possible.  When my niece saw them she said, "I wish I could keep some of them."  Not one- some.  So, I guess I'll do one more with all the embellishment it can handle.

I found these bags at Michael's yesterday:

As young as first-graders are, I'm sure the boys would like the totes, but they just look too purse-ish to me.  So, management decision, the boys get these instead.

New goal: 10 down, 4 to go for school, and one for Joscelyn.

Operation Intentional Kindness week#4 report:

1.  Gave way more than four compliments to friends, strangers or otherwise.

2.  Let 2 people go ahead at Sam's. 

3.  Sent a thank-you "note" to my son's personal aide.  We correspond each day in a notebook, but I rarely take time to thank her in writing.  She makes our days so much easier.
