I have finished ten headbands that I will send to a person that is going to visit villages  in Africa.  Her goal is 500 headbands to hand out to the girls in the villages.  I can't wait to get them into the mail today.  My husband was fascinated by the idea that something I made was going all the way to Africa and will be worn by little ones over there.  Me too!


http://snappy-tots.com/ is where I found the information for Rainbow for Africa.



I love to make my own greeting cards but I do not do it often enough.  I think that is because I am not proficient at it.  Each time I do it I mess up lots of card stock but I will conquer this one of these days.  In the meantime I keep practicing.  These are a couple ideas I came up with.  Being mostly a right-brained kind of person I like the ones I print off on the computer the best.  I love the idea of crocheting tiny objects or motifs and attaching them to the card to hopefully be displayed in the homes they will be mailed to.  The two below will go to our grandkids in Indianapolis.  I am thinking of putting a magnet on the back of the motifs and then sticking them on the cards with 3-D buttons (I called them thingies in the last post).  



Tomorrow my husband and I will celebrate our 46th wedding anniversary!  Not bad for a couple who were married at the young ages of 18 and 16. 
We have two wonderful sons, 1 fantastic daughter-in-law and
 4 indescribably awesome grandchildren!   

I hope your day is great and you have lots of good plans to do what you like to do most!  Mine will be spent packing for our short get-away and crocheting!
