Another chilly day! It didn't keep us in for long, though. We bundled up and got the bikes out (or should I say BIKE - Logan's) and headed for the outdoors. The kids had a great time playing in all of the yards - I think that ours ended up being the school. Our porch was their house? I'm not sure. It's nice though to live in a circle where you know the kids can play safe and all of the neighbors know that they'll be seeing them on their porch or in their yards. And no one cares!

I finished up a few more swaps today. I needed to do 3 little matchboxes. I also signed up for one that had an 'owl' theme. I had just made a really cute one out of that embossed felt and it is CUTE! Now he has a home to go to. I packed him up in a box that I doubled as his 'nest' - complete with these huge pompons I attempted to make with this pompon maker I found...See there is a purpose for everything eventually!! I also had to fix up my little neighbors teddy bear today. He needed a little surgery on his arm. I don't think that she knew that he could even be fixed. I told her to step into my office (aka - crafty room) and I sewed him right up. She thought that I was a miracle worker! Don't you just love making the day of a 5 year old! And all with a needle and thread. I told her to come see me anytime she needed a little help sewing or fixin'.

Well, it's back to the grind tomorrow. I'm ready. I've had a great few days with my family and neighbors. I've done my crafting and I've relaxed and re-energized myself. It's amazing what a day with the family will do for your spirit!

So, enjoy your family and your spirit!!
