Happy Mail
Last month, I decided to send out a few Happy Mail cards and packages to friends and family for the Easter holiday. Then a few days ago, happy mail arrived for me! What a fun and welcome surprise. My friend, Val, found a quilt kit she thought I might like, complete with all the fabrics …
Counting Blessings, and Safelight Winners
Strong storms roared through our area on Sunday night, with driving rain, thunder and lightening. The winds were howling up the coves on both sides of our home for some time, and the noise was frightening. The next day brought the damage to light.

A Safelight Project for the Fourth of July
It seemed fitting that on the day we celebrate our Independence as a nation, the residents of the Safelight shelter might celebrate their independence in their new lives. Safelight is the name of the domestic violence shelter in our little town. This organization incorporates many services for domestic violence victims and sexual assault victims providing …
Thank You Cards to Re-use and Recycle
When you get a handmade card, wouldn't it be nice to be able to pass it along for someone else to enjoy? I mean, how many of us get a card (and so few of those come in snail mail these days!) and enjoy the sentiment, only to throw it into the paper recycle bin, …
