Cards for Sebastian

On one of the blogs that I frequent a kindergarten teacher has a special little boy and is asking for cards to be sent to him- Can you help?  A class card would be great for those of you that are teachers-

Check out this link http://gingershouse.blogspot.com/2012/02/cards-for-sebastian.html#comment-form
and read about him. He is one special little boy.

His surgery has been postponed for now but the cards are still important so go ahead and mail them to his teacher, her address is listed too.

Thanks a million everyone.

Polar Plunge-Really?

Yes, Our annual Polar Plunge was today to raise money for Special Olympics for Western KY. It was cloudy. It rained too, but not until all 513 plungers did their thing. But COLD? not really, the water (I was told) was 51 degrees. I, along with who knows how many others were officially TOO CHICKEN TO PLUNGE! We did our part by supporting them and collecting money for this fabulous cause! We even got T-shirts that say we were chicken!  There were costumed groups and awards too. My daughter and one of her besties got to help hand out awards.

You ask- Are they crazy? yes, some of them, sure, but most of us just know all the good that comes from this wonderful, annual event.

We have only held it for three years and each year all totals from the previous year were broken.
Was it a success? I'll say, today $91,000.00 was raised!

Yea, I'd say this was a great day!

Thanks to everyone that pledged, plunged, participated as an official Chicken, shared our link, volunteered and any other manner of support! Thanks-Thanks-Thanks & God Bless!

I just found a new blog- looks pretty good- check it out!

The Ribbon Carousel^© holds up to 60 rolls of 3/8" ribbon using 4 rods, 40 Wooden Spools or 16 spools of your favorite Baker's Twine using 8 rods. It SPINS around on a lazy susan, allowing you to access your ribbon and twine easily! This easy-to-use organizer is compact, with a footprint less than 7" square on your workspace.
