...a friend in need...

Dearest Friends, I received this note from Sister Andrews...

I have a friend who needs someone to sit with her mother who has brain cancer. They would need to relieve the woman's husband for about 3-4 hours a day . If any one would like more information and details have them call me. Thanks, Suzanne

If you need Sister Andrews contact info - see bottom right side of the blog.

For many of you this may be the first that you have heard of the "Food Storage Group".

Brother Penberthy is generous enough to attempt to get us "group rate" prices on food storage items. If enough people participate - we can get great discounts on can goods, and free shipping!

This is the current offering:

The only thing to remember about the chicken is that all freeze dried items need to be used more quickly than dehydrated items once the can is opened; they also store better if refrigerated after opening. I will need the money by 10/20 (checks made out to me—no shipping fee). My home email address is Wpenberthy@cox.net for people who want to order. I will be ordering several for my family so we will have enough to do this order.

Fabulous Friday

Hi All,

You may have a lot of questions about Fab Friday?
I have the answers... so ask away.

Let's begin with my contact info. That may become important.
My phone is 623-776-2723. my email: guero(underscore)nikki@cox.net

The event is scheduled for Friday, October 15.The FINAL day for money to be turned in is Sunday, October 10. Make checks payable to Nicole Gonzalez. (you can drop it by my house, stick it in the mail, ask me to stop by your house and pick it up... or give it to me on that Sunday) but please please please don't forget. Keep in mind that by the 10th - the teachers have already bought all of the supplies needed for their classes, and if you have signed up, they have already paid for your materials.

You can still make changes if you need. Just let me know as soon as possible.

The festivities will begin at 4 p.m.

We encourage ALL to come, even if you have not signed up for a craft, join us just for the fun, and companionship... and DINNER! Dinner will be really lovely. Just send me a message and let me know how many will be in your party. (we are having treats, and need to plan accordingly). If you have not already signed up for a food assignment, we could always use more crock pots with your best soup recipes!

We have not organized a formal nursery, so please let me know if you need help with that, we do have a plan!

We will eat dinner promptly at 5.

Due to time constraints - if you have signed up for the Hair Bow Class - it will begin promptly at 6 p.m. There will be a brief tutorial, and then help available for those that need it. Please don't miss the tutorial!

Everything else is sort of open-ended until about 9 p.m., when we want to begin cleaning up.

Finally, Several of you asked for pictures (so that they could forward to friends and family members ...)
there were a few problems
first, I am not a photographer.
second, these pictures are awful.
finally, for some reason my camera would not focus, and so there is no picture of the pendant. I apologize.

Nativity Plaque $17, please indicate color choice: brown, black and red

Apron $8.

Pumpkins $10 each. Please indicate "Halloween" or "Harvest" themeTemple Block $3.50. Please indicate your choice for the Temple image. There are many to choose from. Journals $1.50 each. You supply the four pieces of cardboard for each, we supply the rest of the materials.
