National Librarian Day!

(Katherine Hepburn in one my favorite Librarian Movies; Desk Set)

Today is National Librarian Day! Being a Librarian is my Employment du Jour. Go hug a librarian... better yet, just get a book and sit really quietly and read it.



"I also really didn't realize the librarians were, you know, such a dangerous group. ... You think they're just sitting at the desk, all quiet and everything. They're like plotting the revolution, man. I wouldn't mess with them." ~Michael Moore



"Librarians, Dusty, possess a vast store of politeness. These are people who get asked regularly the dumbest questions on God's green earth. These people tolerate every kind of crank and eccentric and mouth breather there is." ~Garrison Keillor



"Don't mark up the Library's copy, you fool! Librarians are Unprankable. They'll track you down! They have skills!" ~Charles Ogden



"Librarian is a service occupation. Gas station attendant of the mind." ~Richard Powers

HUGS!
I am reading Living Christ, Living Buddah. And it is not about Buddy's belly.

You're a librarian? I didn't know that! How cool. The library has saved me from certain bankruptcy and being buried alive under copies of books I've only read once.

I've always had a secret desire to be a librarian...working in the Library of Congress. Le sigh.

So now with Christmas almost upon us, I wanted to take the last few days to make some Christmas Crafts.

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.
