We are in the process of sending out confirmation emails to everyone who signed up. Even if you signed up late you are included in the swap. Around the middle of next week you will start receiving your swap partners. You will be making five ornaments and receiving five ornaments. I will post another update after we have sent all the confirmations.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you...

Thank you so much for all your heart warming comments and well wishes for my sick kiddos. Everyone is definitely on the mend but there is still a lot of coughing and energy is running low. I'm thinking it was H1N1 because of the fevers and how hard it hit them but I don't know for sure. I can't tell you how much reading your comments meant to me, knowing you are out there and thinking of us made me feel so much better and I so appreciate the time you took to make that connection :)

I'm sorry everyone, there won't be any posts today, I'm just too tired. I have three sick kids and with almost no sleep last night and tending to the kids all day I just haven't had a chance to get it together. Check back over the weekend, I should be able to manage it by then. I'm off to bed now...

Learning Vicariously shares a
neat way to draw and color different
leaves using stencils.

Painted Acorn

 
I love this painted acorn featured by Mom Tried It! at No Time For Flashcards! You'll be surprised by how the paint was applied :)
