OK, this is in bad taste...but I need it! My son starts Kindergarten today, we've been through the huddled masses at Open House, and there's apparently a total lack of wide-ruled notebook paper in my entire county--just 30 minutes outside of ATL. Luckily, we just needed crayons and such!
Oh, and my birthday is coming up in 3 weeks. Kindergarten + Birthday = inconvenient semi-midlife crisis!!
I need a "Blue Bird" (of Happiness) bank!! And some doodlings to keep me company while the silence in my house echos around me........

A teammate (etsy). Her husband lost his job and she has been carrying the weight for almost two years. I have also been encouraging her to follow her dreams so that when he finishes school she will be able to work more on her crafty side!
And she is incredibly loving and generous. She donates the proceeds of her shop to animal causes.

A dear friend of mine just found out her husband cheated on her after 3 years of marriage and is separating. They have a 1 year old daughter and she's in the process of moving out and moving on. I think she could use a pick me up for sure.

I nominate my friend G, whose sister was just diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. They already know that it's in her bones and matasticized. She has 4 young children. G (not surprisingly) is doing everything she can to be there to support her sister and her family, while dealing with health concerns of her own.

I would like to nominate my friend Susanne. After reading the other entries, I feel reluctant to write about her trials and tribulations, so let's just go with, She would be happy as a clam to win something unexpected!
Also, to those other entries, I pray that all works out for your families and friends. It is difficult selecting just one
person who needs a lift. Bless all of your hearts for thinking of others.

I nominate my friend Sherry C. She is the most beautiful person even thought times are hard and she has lost many members of her family within the past couple of years. She just keeps everything moving along with out a hiccup. She deserves a pick me up for sure.

My sister could use the pick me up. She donated her kidney last month to a boy and it is rejecting. She went through alot of "blues" afterward and some major emotional issues. She is feeling so blue and I would just love to pick her up and fly her away.

I nominate my husband, Randy...he's getting his knee replaced at the end of this month after a very, very long wait (almost 20 years since his original injury) - and the surgery is on his birthday! He works tirelessly in the community, and around our farm in spite of mobility issues. He's a champion.

I nominate my sis-in-law, Kristin, she introduced me to your artwork and I am always looking forward to the holidays when she gives me yet another one of your treasures. It is the best kept "secret" of the holiday season.
Posted by: Melissa | August 03, 2011 at 08:45 AM
i'd nominate my mother- mamma winger, of Things With Wings. She's in the midst of making some tough decisions about her aging and deteriorating parents, and it's a lot of letting go. I already know she loves your work, and she'd get a big thrill from picking out something special!

I nominate my BFF of 35 years who just went through surgery four weeks ago and is going bonkers at home. She doesn't get her driving wheels back for another 2 weeks.
