The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Sunday, November 15, 2009
Ryan is with his dad working on their street rod today. It will look something like this when they are done. I ran a few errands this morning and have had a nice quiet afternoon to make some cards for Christmas. (Quiet except when Lady barks at the squirrels, dogs, people, etc...I love her anyway :)
A Shaker Card

I haven't made a shaker card in so long. I thought the flower soft inside a shaker would look really pretty.
Tomorrow is Friday, any good plans?
A Nice {Long} Weekend
Monday, November 9, 2009
Well, it's back to work after a 4 day weekend. Thursday I had to myself. I went to the library, made my meringue bones for the party, and made a few cards and things. Despite my lack of natural talent in the kitchen, the meringues turned out really well. I followed the recipe, but when I took them out of the oven, they were still sticky. Rather than starting over, I tried putting them back in the oven with a slightly higher temperature for an additional hour. They came out perfect.
Everyone loved them too!

On Friday, we took a ride down to Cape May. It was such a beautiful day, but very chilly. I got to use the awesome scarf my mom made for me. We combed the beaches for bits of quartz, went on a bird watching walk, and had warm soup and sandwiches for lunch at Bella Vida.
I made a few tags for gifts of the homemade variety.
Hope your week is off to a good start!
Great Gifts For The Kids

and for you, too. Two of my nephews have birthdays this month. Etsy has some great toys.
Wow! I can't believe 2 weeks have passed since my last post. Things have been busy at work and I have been bringing it home a lot more than usual. I have many plans for increasing deaf/hh awareness at my school and the administration is really supportive. I have been working on setting up an online teacher page that is available to the students with activities, web links, book lists, and information on sign language and Deaf culture. I have been working with the librarian to add to the library's books on the subjects listed above and setting up a display spotlighting those books. I hope to set up an art exhibit in the hallways near the art rooms featuring deaf artists. The students in the classroom will be working on posters to hang in the school with communication tips. So, throughout the year I hope to accomplish these, and other ideas for spreading Deaf Awareness in our school and community.
My cousin is having her annual Halloween party this weekend. I am making these to bring to the party.
I have the next two days off and I hope to spend some time making things. I miss it.
