From my pal Lindsay:
I am holding a trunk show to benefit the March of Dimes- 100% of my commissions will be donated to the cause.
Here is the run-down: I am hoping to make this BIG- my goal is to donate $300 to the March of Dimes. Every participant who makes a purchase from the trunk show will be entered to be the winner of the hostess rewards. Meeting my goal would lead to $300 in donations...

Book Review - Project: Happily Ever After.
Have you ever wanted to kill your husband?
I mean, really. You’d love for him to drop over & then you could start fresh & paint your closet pink & meet a dashing rich man that would take you off to far away places, like that cool town in Greece with the white buildings.

It is our duty, our obligation as members of this planet and human beings, to reach out to others and spread the power of good. “Darkness cannot drive out darkness,” Martin Luther King Jr. once said. “Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” This world needs more love. It needs that love to multiply. So we implore you: What are you doing for others? What will...

& then you take those strips & simply tie them around the twine. (I didn’t knot, I just tied...
