After the Christmas crazy frantic fun has settled, give your soul the gift of the warm and fuzzies....

Check out this site it is really inspiring. I kinda feel guilty because I think I love doing these things because it just feels really good. A safe natural high.





There are so many ways to help and they are appreciative for it all. Simply spread the word around  on your facebook or send a twitter shout out. If you find yourself with extra fabric and are doing a clearing send some their way. They will even send quilters a kit to make and send back free of charge. You can send a little warmth and love to a child when they need it most, while doing something you love to do.

Welcome Back! Due to an illness I had to take a break from my blog. However, now I am feeling great and ready to come back to the fun world of blogs, moms, and homemade treasures!


I love this time of year so I figured I would share some of the great things I have come across. Take some time to look around these great sites that also "share the love of share"



Store all out of Halloween treat bags? Been there!

Got some extra time? A little extra fabric? Make some bean bags for Crat Hope!
This is a great way to do some good in the world. Combine your love of creating with the love of kindness and giving.

From the Buzzy Blog:

Spring is Here!! Send in Your Photos for Free Seeds!

If the idea of purchasing on our website for free seeds didn’t appeal to you, how about this. Send me your gardening photos and I’ll send you free seeds! If you have BUZZY products, that would be ideal. If you send me a photo of your Buzzy grow kit (or even plants in your garden that came from Buzzy seeds) I will include a 2nd packet of seeds!

This is for a limited time only. You can submit your photos by emailing me at photo@buzzyseeds.com. Be sure to include your name and address so I can mail you seeds. Please note that your photos may be used on our blog or website.

I will accept photos for seeds until 5/1/09, so start now

I find wishing and hoping for the best works well for me!
