"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

It Can Get Better!

There's nothing quite as pretty as fresh snow on the bare trees against the blue sky. We got about 5 inches overnight and are expecting 6 or 8 more inches on Monday! Winter is not over! 

I'm plugging away at the blue and white journals in between life things. I do have all the covers done....so now it's time to start assembling the insides.

I have a fun follow up on yesterday's post. On Dotty's cue...I agreed that it couldn't get any better than making these little journals. 

But actually...it can. 

Because of some of generous donations from some journal recipients I was able to buy 14 bath towels...several hand towels and pile of washcloths for Maine Needs. I washed and dried them all today so they would be ready to use. I'm doing a shift with Anne on Tuesday...and I'm looking forward to taking them in. 

Now really....it doesn't get better than this

Just as a reminder, I am not asking for donations for this journal project...just help with postage. But I am very grateful for the chance to buy more needed items.

  2. A fresh, clean, plush towel is a creature comfort we shouldn’t take for granted. How simple, how necessary. That’s a beautiful, big pile of comfort and love, MaryAnn. ♥️
