Helping HAITI BY HAND

My friend Rebecca had been 
Helping Haiti

even before the devastating 
earthquake 2 years ago. In fact,
 she had returned to the States
 2 weeks before it hit!  

 Can you imagine?

She is still doing great work helping

these worthy people (even helping to

 build homes).  If you would like

to help in donating some easy to find 

items or make a quilt or even go
 through your fabric pile and share
 some of it for a very worthy cause
 then please visit

HAITI BY HAND

to get all the info you will need.

to "fish".   Please click HERE for

 this inspiring and touching story.

What a lovely smile!

I am sure glad there are people

like Rebecca!   It makes me

humble.

back and make a brand 

new start, anyone can start 

from now and make a

 brand new ending.

Feels like Spring ...finally ! And my GIVEAWAY!

There are many wonderful

things that will never be

done if you do not do them.

Today felt like Spring, finally!

High 70's, with a perfect

breeze.   I visited Colleen today

and I took her for a little stroll

around the nursing home.

She wore my sunglasses and

looked pretty cool for 86 years!
I'll see about getting a photo
of her next time.

My neighbor mowed the front yard

today and it smells divine!   The old

fruit trees are getting their BLOSSOMS.

I bought some lilacs this

past Sunday at Whole Foods 

and most are still blooming and

smelling heavenly!

And my favorite PANSIES

are blooming perfectly.....

..... all is well !

A few weeks back, I bought a box 

of these lights at Kmart ....the 

last one they had.   Imagine my 

excitement when I  went back

 yesterday and there were more in

 stock!   I couldn't resist getting one

 more box.   I hope they look like 

the fireflies on the Pirates of the 

Caribbean.   :o)  One of my all-time

 favorite things to see! 

  They are solar, but since we have

 had such overcast weather I haven't 

put them out yet.  It is suppose to 

stay sunny so I'll try this weekend.

And they were on sale too.

Each experience through

which we pass operates

ultimately for our good.

This is a correct attitude

to adopt and we must be 

able to see it in that light.

Easy for him to say!
And lastly, I finally hit 20 
followers and when I did, I was
going to add another piece of jewelry
for my blog giveaway from last year !
Here is the original post on what to do.
Click HERE .
This next week I will add another piece
 of jewelry as promised.  Once I get to
 30 followers, I will draw a name and
 that person will receive both pieces of 
vintage jewelry!
I just read my original post and 
I was sure hopeful it wouldn't 
have taken this long to get a 
winner !   :o)

HAPPY EASTER !

Easter is upon us.

Blessings to all during
 this time 

of re-birth and growth.
