I Was A "Blanketeer For A Day"

Today the Dale Area Leaders & Entrepreneurs were sponsoring a

"Blanket Day to Benefit Project Linus"

So I packed up my sewing scissors and headed down to the town hall to help make blankets.

Project Linus is a non-profit organization that provides new, handmade washable blankets, quilts,and afghans to children ages 0 - 18 who are seriously ill traumatized, or otherwise in need.

Volunteers known as "blanketeers" hand-make the blankets during organized community events.

Yes even men were there helping cut fabric, tying and doing whatever needed to be done.

It was a very fun filled and rewarding day!!!

When I left the group had made over 125 blankets!!!

Thanks to D.A.L.E.

(Dale Area Leaders & Entrepreneurs)

for sponsoring this wonderful event!!!

Until Next Time

Happiness is a healthy

mental attitude, a grateful spirit,

and a clear heart full of love.

It Snowed in Wisconsin!!!

Happy Saturday to Everyone!!!

Yep it snowed again here in Wisconsin!

Yesterday afternoon it started to snow ~ the big sticky snowflakes!

On my way into work ~ late yesterday afternoon. It was slippery and there were some cars in the ditch. I could only go about 35 mph or I would start sliding.
