Operation Baking Gals

By -

Well for those of you who know me, you might know me as this free spirited Libertarian pacifist gal. I rarely will talk about my political views or politics in general, but i guess you could say i am a Libertarian. I am not a fan of war (really, who is?) and therefore i am a pacifist. There are a lot of things very wrong with this country. Yet i am still an American, and I love living here and i embrace my freedoms (hello Libertarianism). So as we are in the middle of a war, that i definitely wish would end soon, in the mean time I will support our troops. I think they are an amazing\fearless\brave\wonderful lot of men and women. Even if i don't understand or always agree with what they are doing on a daily basis, I still care about them. So to show my support I have joined a group of women calling ourselves, Operation Baking Gals. Operation Baking Gals is a group of women who are on "teams" and each team picks a group of soldiers and sends them baked goods. I am on team Meet Me in the Kitchen. Starting the week of August 23, all the members of our team will be sending goodies to Russ and his pals. Anyone can join, so if you are interested check out Operation Baking Gals and sign up. Now, the big question is: What am I going to bake????

So now with Christmas almost upon us, I wanted to take the last few days to make some Christmas Crafts. This weekend I spied this AWESOME clothespin wreath on Pinterest which lead me to  Hambly Screen Prints Blog . Not only is it a fantastic blog with fun projects, it's also an online store full of the coolest scrapbook\crafting supplies. If you haven't been to Hambly Screen Prints...  GO NOW ! The clothespin wreath was so fun and easy to make!  Supplies you need: Wooden clothespins scrapbook papers Washi tape (or decorative tape) You can buy washi tape at Hambly, Amazon.com, etsy, Michaels or most craft stores) Glue Thick cardboard for circle (or Michaels sells pre-made circle forms) Felt to cover cardboard (although I skipped that step) Decorate your clothespin however you like.

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
