Finished Project Friday: More, and More Sandwich Bags

Image
By


A couple weeks ago, Andrew's teacher "placed an order" for some reusable sandwich bags and wraps for a baby shower for another teacher at the school.  I had no idea how much of a hit they would be!  She said that all of the teachers loved them and were interested in buying some. 




Andrew's teacher said that if I wanted to put together a flier, she would pass it around.  Well, I didn't get that flier finished before my children went to school yesterday, but I did get their teacher gifts finished ... just in the nick of time, too, as it was their last day.  One of the teachers Eliza gave the sandwich bags to was ecstatic ... she must have been at the baby shower.  Andrew's teacher was convinced that I could start up my own business just by selling these bags to the teachers at their school  .... maybe one day.  I'm still not sure I really want to do it ... I enjoy my freedom too much.

I can understand why you would hesitate to make a business out of it: it might suck the enjoyment out of the project, too...I feel that way when I have composed piano music. I enjoy doing it, but I don't necessarily want to make an album and try to market it and then have the pressure of coming out with something new every year...I want to do it when I want to and the way I want to. :)

You ARE talented...I had no idea how talented until you started your blog. I think it's wonderful the things you have learned to do that have made so many other people so happy! :) :)

Amazing Marisa! I can't say that enough!! They are very, very cute! I'm the same way about starting my own design business. I like doing it, but I'm not sure I want to do it full time. I like being able to pick and choose when and how I do things. :) But they are wonderful! You could always just make them in batches and sell them at home shows. . .things like that. :) AMAZING!!

Pink Day

By
Today I was sifting through all the clothing and pulling out clothes that were stained and torn, as well as clothing the children had outgrown. There was a huge pile of clothing to sort through, and an ever growing pile of clothes to donate.  At one point, I pulled out a pink t-shirt and asked, "Whose is this?" Someone said it was Maryanne's, which couldn't have been true because it was a size 8. It wasn't her color anyway ... So I tossed it in the donate pile. (In hind sight, I now think my mom gave it to Maryanne for Christmas, and she said that she wasn't sure what size to get for Maryanne. Whoops on my part.) That's when Adam exclaimed that he wanted a pink shirt. Other children chimed in with, "It is his color." (Referring to his Dressing Your Truth type.) Adam bolted toward the donate pile and seized the shirt, promptly pulling it over his head and the collared shirt he had on. (Later he removed the collared shirt, after much cajoling from ...

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

My Two Teenagers

By
As personalities come, these two girls are like night and day. Both are silly at times, and both can be serious at times. And yet, that rarely happens at the same time! We have entered the world of teenagers, and it is quite the dramatic world! My oldest daughter is dealing with all the drama that teenagers bring: ostracism, judging, and feeling friendless. My younger teenager is just full of fun dramatics: silly faces and expressions, acting wonky and crazy, and saying that "everyone is my friend, even their mom and dad!" At any rate, I couldn't be more in love with these two. They fight over their littlest sister ("I get to hold her!"  "You've been hogging her all day!"), fight over who spends more time in the shower ("I do NOT spend an hour in the shower!"), and fight over who gets my MacBook ("She always gets to do her school on your computer!"  "But, all my stuff is on there!").  My world would be quite dramatical...
