4 Marvelous Monday 10/1/12

What a great weekend we had!  On Saturday Aye and I were at an event for Operation: Military Kids where I was able to give out almost 100 Hero Packs to Military Youth that have just had their parent returned from deployment over seas!  What a great way to spend the day!!!  I just love seeing the look in the faces the kids when they get these great packs and look inside and find a handwritten note thanking them for their service!  I know I don't talk about my part-time job very much, but this is one of those days I just had to share!!!

Then when I got home I was able to see this amazing sunset.....

Now that, is a Saturday!!!  On Sunday we spent the day cuddling and tickeling the kids.... it is always such a great day for us!! 

I DID get to put something new out on my tray though, it is the one that everyone picked out of my 'bunch' of stones..... let's see what I can do with it this week!!

Now, so many of you got a kick out of my Mustache bracelet..... want to see it from start to finish???

And here is where you can find this bracelet if you would like to purchase it!!  I will also be posting the pattern - later in the week - if you would like to purchase that!!

I'd like to close with this thought;

A TRUE FRIEND has a knack for knowing when you need to have a good laugh and when you need to have a good cry!
