It seems like everyday could be Friday with Barry home all the time, but in truth, thankfully it's not! After losing so much sleep in the past three weeks between watching the Games and then the Convention, I think I need a weekend to wind down! I know not everyone out there agrees with my views, and that's ok, but last night was a night to remember for a long time. It really seemed like a night to pass the mantle of leadership to my own son's generation. Remember I'm a child of the Sixties and we believed that anything was possible and still do. I believe that hope has now been passed to my own children and to the next generation! What an election this will be and now a woman has been added to the McCain ticket as well. While I'm sure she's a fine woman, I won't be voting for her. Every view that matters to me, is different then my own beliefs, but I am proud that in this country anything is possible!
Guess what came in the mail this week? New rubber from CHF. What a darling little birdie set! I couldn't wait to play. This card is made using My Mind's Eye printed paper along with a fun Prima flower and LOTS of buttons! I wanted something to fill the right top corner so I added an image from Verve Stamps.
Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend. We are laying low with money even tighter then before since we had to buy a new battery for Barry's car this week, so enjoy the time with your families and stay safe!!
I also thought the convention was fabulous too... my daughter is a single Mom trying to bring up 2 children and make ends meet. She lives in Denver and designed an Obama pin made of rhinestones. Michelle and Barack each have one and they have officially approved and endorsed it. She was a vendor there and displayed her letter from Barack at her booth. The pins were an overwhelming success story and it has given her hope that she can do something special and make some money too. It has given her hope too. You can look at the pin at www.obama-bling.com.

Hi Paula,
Just found your blog. I knew we were like minded as soon as I saw the donkey.
Cute stuff! I'll be checking back often.
