"What most people need to learn in life is how to love people and use things instead of using people and loving things."

So I was thinking about this wish list business.
Many bloggers use this time of year to post their choice of luxuries they would buy 'if they only could'...
Chanel anything, Louboutin shoes, Judith Leiber evening bag, Pratesi sheets.....
If I had any one of these items,  all of these items, would I still wish for more?
If I slept in Pratesi sheets  would I sleep more soundly?
If I walked in Louboutins shoes, would I walk my children to the chupah?
If I carried a Leiber bag, would I wear it to my child's wedding?
If I bought a firstclass ticket to Israel, would my children be healthy?
But if I walked my child to the Chupa would I need a Judith Leiber?
If I saw my children's success would I wish for a Chanel?
If I watched my family love and care for each other would I need Pratesi to sleep well at night?
If I have Shalom Bayis do I need a Cartier diamond?
I think not...
                                                            My Wish List                           
  
       What can be added to the happiness of a man who is in health, out of debt, and has   
        a clear conscience?” -Adam Smith
   

This brings true and lasting happiness.

Scary thought no?

So many things to be grateful for. Don't believe me? Make a list.

Being a 'Sheitel Macher' I know this to very true...

This is my #1 wish for myself.
Because everyone wants to be with a happy person.

But as G-D would have it, what you wish for is your greatest challenge...
So I will try to go simple.

I wish it were that easy........

Chanukah is here 2011...

Chanukah is the best Yom Tov ever!It's all about family and fun, my two favorite things.
Each Yom Tov is defined by childhood memories.
Memories of preparations.
Food preparations to be exact.
My mother stood there turning out latkes one more perfect than the other.
My Father singing "Haneiros Halalu" strong and loud.
No matter how much time passes or how many miles away you are, you remember.
Now that I am the Bubby, my children are making their own memories and sending me the pictures.

Sometimes you can incorporate your photos as part of the design.

CRAFTING JEWISH STYLE has a wonderful collection of Chanukah papers and stickers.

Rivky Konig, author of the book and creator of this wonderful line, sent me Rosh Hashana, Chanukah and Pesach kits to create layouts with.

There are a thousand ways to use this collection besides for Yom Tov layouts.

The journaling on this next layout was inspired by Chanukah lights. (hence, you light up my life)

Here's one I posted before.

Rosh Hashana inspired the journaling on this one.

Can you see the possibilities? Endless...

So now you can take pictures of your family/friends and Yom Tov festivities.

You've got the perfect papers to use.

Go for it!

So much Nachas...

Mrs. Brownstein is talking to Mrs. Goldberg.
"So tell me about your daughter?" asks Mrs. Brownstein.
"Well," Mrs. Goldberg replied, "When she was 18, she married a pediatrician and they had a little boy, but after a couple years they got divorced. Then, she married a prosperous dentist and they had twins, but again things didn't work out and they got divorced. After that, she met a big lawyer and they got married and had a little girl, but that one just lasted three years, too. Now she's engaged a fourth time, to the President of a bank."
"Oy!" said Mrs. Brownstein. "So much joy from one child!"

Ask any Jewish mother what she wants and she will immediately say NACHAS!
Nachas is worth more than money.
Nachas is worth every labor pain.
Every nauseous day of pregnancy.
Every penny spent on education.
Every sleepless night.
So when you get a dose of it you need to take a moment and indulge.
I do that by scrap booking, as you all know by now.
B"H I have much nachas from each one of my children and grandchildren.
Sometimes I even have nachas from my husband!
THIS is one of the ways a man gives you nachas.

If you know my husband, you understand how this layout is such a reflection of him.
It's always a challenge for me to make a masculine layout.
When you have 6 girls and 3 granddaughters, you have a ton of girly stuff, but I love how this came out. Manly papers for a macho guy.

Nachas is pride, joy, and happiness that becomes a part of you.
Like wrinkles at the side of your eyes from smiling so much.
That smug, satisfying feeling that says "you done good".
Although we know that it all comes from Hashem, we can't help but take a little credit when anyone in our family gives us nachas.
Even when my nieces or nephews give me nachas I feel proud of our family.

One of my girls is giving me a ton of nachas right now.
She finished school and became a Cutco rep.
I've been cooking for 30 years now and I can honestly say Sarale has given me a new appreciation for kitchen tools.
Cooking became fun...as it should be.
Cutting your vegetables or fruits exactly how you'd like it, that is fun!
When your knife doesn't take a detour as you're cutting melons or squash, that is fun!
A roast cut in neat thin slices can actually make you feel proud of yourself. Go figure!
I wish I could retrieve all the pineapples I barely managed to peel without throwing away more then I cut!
Believe me, I always knew Sarale had potential.
I even documented that feeling 5 years ago with this layout.

She is so full of all the wonderful things I knew she would be.
I am so happy she sees how hard work really pays off.
She got the stamp of approval from  Bubby Mochkin. (not easy to come by one of those!)
She gave her Bubby a knife for a gift and her Bubby said "It's even better than an electric knife"!
Sarale, I knew you could be tops in whatever you did, I just didn't expect you to attain it so quickly.
THAT is nachas!

I remember when she was born. (not really but I have a scrapbook page to prove it happened!)
She was gorgeous from the first second I laid eyes on her.
Screamed like a lunatic as a baby, but gorgeous nonetheless!
Every picture of her inspires me to scrapbook a layout in a totally different way.
Here's one where I used different pieces of black and white papers.
I added a hint of green and hot pink for emphasis.

I don't know how I put this together but I like the feel of it.

And here is one simple, cool  and easy to make layout.
Using lots of smaller photos in black and white really works.
I used a Label Maker for the journaling.
So simple. You could do this on any layout you make.

So how about it.
Get busy recording your dose of nachas.
Everyone gets some.
Cherish it.

I am so excited...

My kids are coming for Shabbos.
And here I was feeling sorry for myself, missing my children,
wondering how I could get to see them NOW.
I love to scrapbook but when I get inspired it's a breeze for me.
Takes no thought at all.
It just flows out of me.
My inspiration was the feeling I got yesterday when they told me they were coming.
I felt like the sun came out.
(Although the sun was already out in it's fullest glory it felt like that anyway.)
The sun was out even stronger and brighter than before.
Only my children coming for a visit could do that trick.

Are you feelin' it?
Can you see how happy I am?
I think so.
How happy are you today?
Use a sun on your layouts and your message will come across loud and clear.
There are so many different ways to make a sun, some of which I will share with you on the next post.
Meanwhile make one for yourself. Send it to me. I would love to see your work.
I show you mine.
Show me yours!

Don't knock the weather. If it didn't change once in a while, nine out of ten people couldn't start a conversation.

I opened the door this morning and felt a soft breeze.
Hardy much. But enough to hope that soon there could be a chill in the air.
When I think of Winter I still think of snow.
Images of your childhood never quite disappear. They just hide behind layers of new and old experiences.
I miss having a 'real' winter. (well just for a moment)
Living here in Florida has robbed me of the four seasons.
Here we have one season.
Hot and Not So Hot.
In the Winter months I get to wear my summer clothes comfortably.
There are a few days that are really cold though, 35-45 degrees.
These are the days I wish I had heat in the house.
I layer  summer clothes and throw on a warm sweater I have for 'just in case'.
Only if you have family in other places do you look prepared for the cold weather.
The New York look. Black skirt, black tights, black boots...
When I see my friends in their winter wardrobe they look almost funny under the weight of warmer and heavier fiber.
Most Floridians want the cold to be over quickly.
I, on the other hand, can't get enough.
I love when the temperature drops.
As cold as it gets the sun comes out anyway.
It's a bright, crisp, colorful cold.
It's the kind of cold that makes you want to do stuff.
Run on the boardwalk without sweating.
Drink a coffee to warm up.
Wear the lightest color Uggs and not worry about getting them dirty.
So Winter for me is an eagerly anticipated and well deserved change for me.
I must confess I am actually annoyed when visitors from the north look at me almost in  anger and say 'Is it always this cold in January?' While I'm praying it stays this way they're praying the weather will change. Must be confusing to G-d hearing the conflicting prayers coming from the same place...
But I also understand how they feel.
New York is a hard place in the dead of winter.
This  layout is a picture my daughter Rochelle took.
I kept this layout very simple. Colors enhanced with Photoshop.
Used net with little white specks to extend the feeling of snow.
Backed by black textured cardstock.
So simple yet so effective.
I especially love this picture because my son is in it and I was so impressed with Rochelle's photography skills.
I can feel the cold just looking at it.
Already six years since this picture was taken.

This next layout on the other hand, captures the beauty of a winter's day melting away the snow.
I love how Shulamis's dress is yellow and fresh against the brick and grime of the streets of Brooklyn.
This was taken last year. The winter was brutal. The picture is not.

A beautiful layout for a beautiful girl.
I printed out a quote, backed with printed paper.
Use rubons. Rubons are fun to use and I usually buy them discounted at Big Lots or Amazing Savings in New York.
Flowers are another  favorite element of mine and I am tempted to use them on all my layouts.
I think the three layers of colored paper under the picture are key to bringing out the colors perfectly.
White cardstock always works. Especially when you want the picture to stand out.
If you want to do a layout like this you don't even have to buy rubons.
Google Doodles and play around with a super fine sharpie.
You can make these designs yourself.
I challenge you to try it.
Put on music (like Chanale's cd) and play with your sharpies.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Anyone can do it.
Just try!
You will totally amaze yourself.

You have outgrown my lap but not my heart...

I have been blessed with six daughters and one son.
Each one is a bundle of personality wrapped in a colorful ribbon.
Open a bottle of champagne and watch the bubbles burst forth.
Those are my kids.
When they were little they totally depended on me.
Any choice or decision had to be decided by me.
The Boss. The Parent. The one who knows better.
And then they grow up.
That is when you the Parent turn into a Tightrope Walker.
Anything you do or say can throw you off balance.
You could be walking straight ahead with great confidence and oops,
There you are teetering on a thin string on top of your 'family hi-rise' wondering how to proceed without failing falling.
It's a constant challenge and you have no choice but to forge ahead and keep that balance.
Because falling is not an option.
And then they get married.
What a blessing.
Now the tightrope has new challenges.
Good ones.
But new nonetheless.
This year my one and only son got married.
As any mother knows, how can any girl be good enough?
My son? He's perfect. No such thing as perfect? You haven't met my son then!
He is so perfect that I knew when he chose a wife she was going to be everything I wanted for him.
And I was right.
As complete as he is, she totally completes him.
Last night he came home for the night to attend a wedding.
His wife wasn't able to come because she is commited to work and school.
I thought when I would see him alone I would feel happy to have him all to myself.
But surprisingly I missed seeing him with his beautiful new wife by his side.
They are so  right together it doesn't seem natural for him to be without her.
And I love that.
I love knowing he has a soul mate.

Aren't they gorgeous! k"h poo poo!
I want to introduce you all to another way of scrapbooking.
DIGITAL scrapbooking.
I always wanted to learn how to do it..
So I tried out for the place of guest designer and Jen Martakis was kind enough to send me some
 free digital kits to try out. (buy the kits. they are so worth it!)
This layout was my first attempt and I am so happy with the results.
I sent it in to Costco to print . $3.00 for a 12x12 photo.
I think in the future I will have lots of fun learning this new (to me) and challenging way to scrapbook.
If you know how to use Photoshop or such try this way of scrapbooking.
You will quickly become hooked.
If not, just put together this wonderful heart with papers and buttons.
And keep your memories forever.
Like I do.
Here is my little boy almost 20 years ago....

...and the knitting goes on...

While I'm scrapbooking and doing other things like work... (sheitel macher for those who don't know!)I continue to knit.
This is where I am up to so far.
I worked alot on this project because I had to see how it would evolve.
Each line of Alef Bais took me 31/2 hours.
Yep! Sat late into the nights to see it happen.

So excited about how it's coming out....

Now I will put it to the side for a few days while I will be busy with family Simchas.
I also want to make a sweater to bring to my great-niece whom I've never met.
I hope to finish it before I get to the wedding.
(2 more days. But it goes fast.)
I will show it to you guys when I am done .
Here's a sample of what's to come...

I actually can't decide if I should use crocheted flowers or felt flowers. What do you think?

A good friend is one who knows you are a good egg even while slightly cracked...

When I was a little girl I had friends. They were the girls in my class.
I never thought if I liked them or not. They just were my 'friends'.
I invited them to my Bas Mitzva. I played over on shabbos. I went to the country in the summer with them. They came to my wedding. They were my friends.
At the risk of sounding shallow I will tell you what I thought  a friend was.
(I hope to redeem myself at the end of this post).
The first and most important ingredient for me was that my friend should think I was "all that."
Which meant that I was pretty,  she'd rather hang out with me than any other friends.
The second important thing was that I could tell her my 'secrets'.
Which really meant stuff about other people.(Loshon Harah to be exact). What did I know about secrets? (B"H)
The third and most important was that they always picked me up FIRST for a Shabbos walk and they ALWAYS saved me a seat.
And they thought everything I said was either funny or smart. (I'm not that funny and it's obvious I wasn't that smart.)
Now when I think back to those days I cannot believe anyone wanted to be with me at all.
But maybe we were all the same at that age. Maybe that is what our needs were back then.
I think back to our fights, as girls usually have them, and I cannot believe we were so ridiculous.
I am saying 'we' but who knows maybe it was just me?
Obviously as I got older I completely changed my understanding of what a friend is.
I have been extremely fortunate to have several very close friends.
And a best friend too.(but that's for another post entirely....)
Now I know that friendships come in many different sizes, shapes, colors and even ages.
I have close friends that are 15-20 years younger than me and some 5-20 years older than me.
I have close friends I speak to a few times a year. I have close friends I speak to a few times a week.
What makes a friend for me today is many things.
For me the most important attribute in any friendship is honesty. Mixed with love.
I adore my friends that can point out my shortcomings and make me feel good about them.
I adore my friends that listen to me complain , say all kinds of outrageous things and then backtrack on most of them, without judging me or making me feel foolish.
I adore my friends that seem to still respect me even after they know me better...
I adore my friends that say "I want to tell you something but don't tell anyone" because I know they trust me and so I must deserve it.
I especially adore the friends that don't expect anything from you but will give you everything.
And most of all I loooove my friends who love my children. Those are the friends that understand that to love you is to love whatever is part of you.
And so I have this kind of friend who...
after I borrow something from her,
forget to return it,
sends her husband to pick it up from me,
car doesn't start,
waits in the hot sun for AAA
and still says 'please, it was no big deal' when I tried to apologise profusely,
that inspired me to write this post today.
Today is a happy day in her life, which in turn makes it a happy day in mine.
Today her daughter R.R. became engaged to a wonderful boy.
(I don't know him but he must be wonderful to deserve my friend's wonderful daughter).
She is the kind of friend who cries and laughs with me at the same time.
She is the kind of friend I am fortunate to have at this stage of my life.
When her daughter P.R.K. got married I was so so excited.
I scrapped a picture of some of us close friends.
We were all joyful for her.
That is what my friends are like now.
(and I bet some of my childhood friends are just as wonderful if only I understood what true friendship was at that time.)

It may not be the 'best' layout I ever did, but it is one of the dearest to my heart.
And that is what it's all about.
This is really an simple layout to follow. I bet you can even make a nicer one than I did.
Practice writing on wavy lines on a solid paper first.
When you feel ready go for it.
Use a pencil first just in case you make a mistake and when you are ready go over it with a sharpee.
So simple in concept.
So deep in emotion.

Here is another layout I made of another very close friend.
It's not about the picture at all.
It's about writing down your appreciation for those who matters in your life.

This is also such an easy layout to do.
I once again used a sharpie to accent my layout.
The middle words are from love,elsie. I don't think they sell it anymore but you can copy the idea.
I love doodling on the edges of my layouts to make a frame. I also enjoy using a white backround paper. Always works.

I bet you're thinking, what does this one have to do with friendship?
Well this little girl who is is now a big girl, (it's 7 years later) is also someone I consider a close friend.
She laughs at my jokes.
We confide in each other.
I trust her and she trusts me.
Isn't that friendship?

Here we are the four of us.

My best friend.

Her daughter. (the one from the post above).

Our daughters are Friends Forever.

And I am blessed.

With friendships that better me as a person every day of my life.

I have so many people in this category but I will save them for later.

You will get to meet them all.

Just hang around.

And while you do go scrap a layout of your close friend.

You will feel so good about it.

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort..

Today I was thinking about creativity and what it really means.
Is it creating something out of nothing? nope. Only Hashem can do that.
I think I like what Steve Jobs said.
Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they really didn't do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things.
Which brings me to my knitting.
I am starting a project that I am so excited about.
In the book Nursery Knits there is an adorable sweater knitted from blocks of ABC. I decided to do it in Alef Bais.
So I downloaded the charts from here and went to work.

I love the yarn so much. Wish I could order all of them.

I bet you think this looks hard. Well it is!
But I'm up for the challenge.
Which got me to thinking more about what makes a creative person tick.
It's a need that is always there.
One day when I have my very own creativity room I will lock myself in there forever.
With a coffee machine, toasted almonds, corn muffins and a Siddur. Ahhhhh! Paradise.
But until then I will do what I can with what I have. (Don't we all?)
No excuses. Do something pretty today. Or even plan to do something pretty. Planning is also good.
Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.
I think this article is on the money.
It certainly explains the creativity bug.
Meanwhile.... I knit another sweater for Yaffa.
Apparantly the first one was a tad small...

and I figured while I'm at it I will use up the yarn left over from this project and make a 'girl' sweater.

I'm totally in love with felt flowers.

You will be finding them on more of my projects in the future.

You should really try it. It's addicting.

Also in my mind when I get the yarn I will start to work on this.

Or something like it.

I like doing squares.

You need quite alot of yarn for this blanket, or any other blanket for that matter.

Read her blog and you will see what I am talking about.

But anyone who knows what it means to lust for yarn will understand how I feel.

Like this nice lady here. She knows what I'm talkin' about!

At the end of the day I planned more than I did today.

Planning is like day dreams.

They are full of light and hope.

The let you dream with your eyes open.

And if you are quick enough maybe you can actually turn that daydream into reality.

After all, you don't even have to wake up. You already are!

There's no place like home...

Why is it when someone says "Oh, I'm going to ----- for a wedding."Or "I will be ---- for a few days attending a conference"
Or "I'm flying overseas for a cousins bar-mitzva", it seems all so glamourous.
From time to time we need a break from the mundane everyday schedule.
A change. Just the anticipation of 'going somewhere' seems so exciting.
You plan your outfit for travel.
You think about what  looks best on you so if someone you haven't seen in a long while sees you they might think "Wow, she looks so good. Hasn't aged a minute since I saw her last".
Living in Miami, traveling also gives me a chance to wear winter clothes.
Even if it's not cold yet, at the very least I can wear my summer clothes comfortably.
Anywhere I go is bound to be cooler than here.
And I must admit, traveling does not disappoint.
You go to parties and see friends you otherwise would not see.
You have conversations that once again connect you with cousins you haven't spoken to in a while.
You eat ice cream that is sold in this special location miles away from home.
And I must say seeing fall in New York is worth every hour of flying.
The colors are stamped in my brain like no other images I see.
Maybe because I am a 'Fall' (according to Debby!)personality and all.
I feel an indescribable joy and peace combined when I am surrounded by leaves of rich intense colors ranging from gold to red.
That is the number one thing about New York that I miss living here in Miami Beach.
Everyones inner self connects to one of the four seasons more specifically. Mine is Fall.



(Yesterday in New York. My grandaughter in the park).
You couldn't dream up these colors yourself.
It almost makes me want to stay in New York a little longer.
ALMOST!
But at the end of the day, when night falls, I want to be home.
In my own house. Where familiar colors and smells surround me.
Where the noise from the streets lull me to sleep.
Where the sound of the birds wake me every morning.
Where the quiet of the day gives me time to think and formulate ideas.
Where I am my own person. That is what I call home....
I've taken pictures of my house  so that one day in the far far future my children will show their children and grandchildren where my happy place was.
My house is my home.
I feel safe. Calm. Comfortable.
Take some pictures of your house. Write about how you feel. You can keep the journal hidden behind the pictures.
Just for you.
And the next generations who want to know you.
One's home is like a delicious piece of pie you order in a restaurant on a country road one cozy evening - the best piece of pie you have ever eaten in your life - and can never find again. After you leave home, you may find yourself feeling homesick, even if you have a new home that has nicer wallpaper and a more efficient dishwasher than the home in which you grew up. ~Lemony Snicket
No matter where you roam...

When you have several pictures you try to accentuate each one either by size or by placing a mat of color behind one or two of them.
Using a white backround always works when you have lots of colors competing with each other.

Even if the room you photograph is not so great looking, it's the sounds and feelings that you want to remember

This is a project for anyone to do.
Hopefully you can fill your pages with good memories.
It doesn't have to be fancy. It has to be real.
And that is beautiful...

"A Man Is Not Old Until Regrets Take the Place of Dreams"

Now that I have grandchildren it's hard to convince myself that I am YOUNG.

But then again who's to say what age means?

I choose to think otherwise.

Age is Wisdom. Experience. Self confidence. Growth. Accomplishment. Maturity. Skill. Knowledge. Intuition. Fulfillment.

There is no room for OLD.

And most importantly it's about dreaming of more...

For your children. For your grandchildren. And for yourself.

Happiness has no age limit.

Laughter has no age limit.

Imagination has no age limit.

Have a great attitude and you will never grow old.

Here is a layout at the beginning of my BUBBYHOOD.

So very easy to do.

Use my two favorite scrapbooking items.

White textured cardstock. And Sharpies.

I love my sharpies.

The possibilities are endless.

Use your ageless imagination and come up with something.

You will possibly surprise yourself.

I know I do all the time!

You can cut out more flowers and use 3d sticky dots to give your layout some pop.

This layout was done 4 years ago. WOW!

Don't you want to be able to say that?

Become the memory keeper...

I know you want to start scrapbooking already right?
Here's a good one to start with.
You don't have to make it exactly like this one but you can follow the pattern.
Most of us have taken pictures in the photo booth in a giddy moment.
It captures fun and playfulness at it's best.
On this layout I use a lable maker for journaling.
Not an expensive item and so useful for scrapbooking.
If you don't have a circle cutter use a round bowl and cut around the outline.
I love adding a little hand sewing. I think it adds cosiness to any layout.

Here are more layouts with hand sewing.
It takes time but it is so worth it.
Use your skills to make your layouts your own.

You see how I did the journaling here? Print the words off your computor.
Or you can write them as well.
Cut them into little word blocks.
Ink the edges for a pop effect.
I used red ink and black ink.
If you don't know how to sew add a pretty flower instead.
Or a circle. Anythink that does the job.
It's a simple layout.
Anyone could do it.
Even you.

You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them

My youngest brother has the most beautiful/adorable/smart/well adjusted.... (you get the picture) boys.Every summer my SIL sends me pictures of them enjoying their summer break.
The years pass as I watch them grow through the camera lens.
When the children were little they visited with us and my Rochelle took this picture.

So here they are in 2011.
Cuter than ever.

I will be posting these delish boys wearing the vests I made them.
My point here is even if you don't have your own children  you can make wonderful layouts of your nephews or neices or your friends children...

There is so much talent out there....

"Can you imagine what i would do if i could do all i can." sun tzu

So I'm driving down the street and when I drive I'm always looking out of the corner of my eye.
Just in case there's soemthing interesting to see.
I don't want to miss it.
Well this time I did a double take.
I see a picture of Marilyn Monroe.

Its not HER that I am interested in.

It was the texture that I noticed (out of the corner of my eye).

(I know some of you are thinking 'how does she drive if she's not looking straight ahead'

but thats for another post!)

So I make a u-turn. jump out of the car and see that this picture was made with spools of thread hung on chains.
I know - crazy!

How do people think of these things?
If I had a sewing/knitting/art shop I would definitely buy this piece of art.

Looks strange from close but the further from it you get the more beautiful it looks.
Kind of a little like LIFE.
When you stand to close to something sometimes you can't see the real beauty of it.

Faygie's advice: take a step back and see how all the little details of life add up to one magnificent picutre.

If you start something finish it!

There's nothing more satisfying than finishing a project.Whenever you start something the 'yetzer harah' manages to get in there and poke at you.
 'why finish this project, you have other fun things to do'.
But I'm older and smarter and more experienced at the fight.
If you keep the thought of how satisfied you will feel when you finish you will not stop.
So I keep going until I'm done. Ahhhhh....
Great feeling.
So here are both sweaters all done.
For my yummy grandchildren.
You'll get to see how they look in them in a later post.

Omg, I just had an idea. What about matching headbands?
Ok. GTG. I have a project to do!
What about you? Do you have an unfinished project?
Go finish it.
Even if you don't like it. If you finish it at least you will feel that wonderful feeling of satisfaction
that you finished what you started.
After all, how will you teach your children something you don't do your self?
It's worth it.
