Giveaway!

My friend Nic just clued me in to a nice online giveaway at a blog called petit elefant that reviews a lot of neat stuff. This sort of thing apparently happens pretty often, and I plan to start seeking them out more! There is a lot of nice free stuff to be had through the blogosphere!! Anywhoo, enjoy. I am excited to be discovering all these recources for cool crafting supplies, gadgets, patterns, and baby items!!

Just heard from the PA Farm Show

I'm watching the PA Farm Show on PCN in a small corner of my desktop at work, and the woman covering craft judging just said the following of what the judges are looking for in a quilt:

"...the judges are looking at, is the colors combinating well..."

That was pretty awesome. In other news, I didn't know the Farm Show had a craft competition, so maybe next year I'll have a sweater to enter! I definitely want to have something to enter in the York Fair.

Someone else on PCN just said "youze" (as in, "you" with a "z" sound on the end) for a second person plural pronoun. We're definitely in PA!!

Craft for Christmas in Lebanon

Hey family,

I think on Saturday when we're done unwrapping presents we should keep the wrapping paper fairly smooth, cut it into strips, and make these cool stars! They're so easy - it takes less than a couple minutes per star. We could string them onto a garland, or put them in a box to use for filler for next year's presents, or string them individually to make ornaments! Let me know what you think.

Love,
Mer
