Last week Christian and Stephanie Nielson were in a very serious plane crash. They are a young couple with four children under the age of six. They are in critical condition. Stephanie has third degree burns covering 80% of her body and Christian has third degree burns over 30% of his body. The recovery will be very long and very expensive.

If you are able, please consider contributing to this fund that will go directly to the family. http://www.nierecovery.com/

Today, several websites are auctioning off items for their benefit. Go here to see the comprehensive list: http://www.designmom.com/

Better picture of the apron I made for Desi for the North Market’s Apron Gala.

We went to the Apron Gala last night at the North Market.

I made Desi his apron, and he won best male apron! 
Pretty cute.

Here are a few random tidbits about me:1. I love sourdough bread. I used to only really like the bread at Spaghetti Warehouse, but now I have found a bake-it-yourself loaf at Kroger that is really yummy.2. I like colors in combinations. Right now, my favorites are blue & white and aqua & orange.3. I really don’t like small talk. So talk to me about something real. Because if you want to small talk I will probably be unresponsive!4. I like a lot of Japanese things! ^_^ Yes, I am a grownup and find Hello Kitty & her friends super cute!5. I am really good at giving the perfect gifts to people. I have some gifts that I have been keeping for awhile, awaiting the perfect time to give.6. I majored in English but still find grammar confusing!7.  I don’t like math, but I end up doing accounting and taxes!8. I am an artist and would like to get my creative projects going again. Lately, I have just been doing scrapbooks.

May be coming soon to a mailbox near you!

I finally found the Christmas Tree Stand I have been hoping to find for awhile. And it is at Lehman’s hardware! Maybe Zettler Hardware can get it in sometime, but if not will have to stop in at Lehman’s later this month.

Desi loves pandas now! It is so cute watching him laugh and talk to them!

This rug is just too cute!
