Their theme this year is "Reuse, Remake, Restyle" and the contest is to see how you have re-purposed an existing project or piece of clothing. Or, as they http://www.greetings.ca/get-out-your-sewing-projects-029761.php http://www.greetings.ca/get-out-your-sewing-projects-029761.php Thu, 03 Sep 2009 23:23:40 -0500 September is National Sewing Month - a celebration that I can get excited about! Unfortunately, although my grandmother was a phenomenal seamstress, I never took the time to learn from her, and now that I'm actually interested in learning myself, her skill has diminished with age. Although I am very http://www.greetings.ca/national-sewing-month-029762.php http://www.greetings.ca/national-sewing-month-029762.php Tue, 01 Sep 2009 23:32:31 -0500 I guess that even though eye health doesn't garner the kind of attention as, say, breast or heart health does, it deserves a month of it's own for recognition and education. So, as August ends, if it's been a while for you, make some time and get your eyes checked http://www.greetings.ca/national-eye-exam-month-029733.php http://www.greetings.ca/national-eye-exam-month-029733.php Fri, 28 Aug 2009 22:07:19 -0500 As we get closer and closer to fall, the time for fruit to be at it's best and easily found due to being "in season" is coming to an end. August is "Peach Month," and a girlfriend of mine put me on to a neat site with recipes for Peach http://www.greetings.ca/enjoy-that-fruit-while-its-in-season-029714.php http://www.greetings.ca/enjoy-that-fruit-while-its-in-season-029714.php Tue, 25 Aug 2009 15:58:55 -0500 This Saturday, August 15th, is Relaxation Day. What a perfect idea for a Saturday! But for some reason, don't we all tend to cram our Saturdays full of our list of "things we needed to do but didn't get done" over the week? And how many of you are guilty http://www.greetings.ca/relax-thats-what-weekends-are-for-right-029691.php http://www.greetings.ca/relax-thats-what-weekends-are-for-right-029691.php Thu, 13 Aug 2009 16:44:52 -0500 What a weird thing to have as a "month celebration!" Shouldn't every month (ideally) be Family Fun Month? But honestly, that's NOT the first thing I thought of when I read that August was Family Fun Month... I'm sitting here on the couch, watching m two-year-old torment my 7-month-old, and http://www.greetings.ca/family-fun-month-029682.php http://www.greetings.ca/family-fun-month-029682.php Mon, 10 Aug 2009 23:47:50 -0500 August is National Picnic Month, although I can't help but think that we'd be better served to have chosen a month in the early spring or late fall when it's not so hot! Also, in my area, it's rained every few days, and on the days that it hasn't rained, http://www.greetings.ca/indoor-picnic-time-029716.php http://www.greetings.ca/indoor-picnic-time-029716.php Mon, 10 Aug 2009 16:37:13 -0500 79 years ago, on August 9th, Betty Boop made her very first appearance in a cartoon called Dizzy Dishes. Cartoons sure have come a loonngg way, but you've got to appreciate the accomplishment for the time... (Although I have to admit I'm not missing this genre of film!) Watch below: http://www.greetings.ca/betty-boop-is-is-79-029680.php http://www.greetings.ca/betty-boop-is-is-79-029680.php Sun, 09 Aug 2009 13:37:29 -0500 Many apologies for not posting during the month of July - I feel like it's been a bit of a whirlwind month for us! It's kind of almost been one long party or one long celebration for our family with everything we've been into... Here's a quick rundown of how http://www.greetings.ca/july-update-just-a-teeny-bit-late-029655.php http://www.greetings.ca/july-update-just-a-teeny-bit-late-029655.php Mon, 03 Aug 2009 17:17:09 -0500 Holy cow! How is it time for July 4th already? I realize how stupid that must sound, especially considering my nephew's birthday is July 4th and I volunteered to make his cake - and the party IS tomorrow (on the 4th) and I've been working on the cakes pretty much http://www.greetings.ca/happy-4th-of-july-029567.php http://www.greetings.ca/happy-4th-of-july-029567.php Sat, 04 Jul 2009 02:04:27 -0500 I think one thing all our family traditions has in common is food. Of course, it makes sense. You've got to eat, so why not enjoy a meal together? For Father's Day this year, we went to lunch after church at Texas Steakhouse. We expected a serious wait and the http://www.greetings.ca/hope-your-fathers-day-was-as-good-as-ours-029514.php http://www.greetings.ca/hope-your-fathers-day-was-as-good-as-ours-029514.php Mon, 22 Jun 2009 16:53:05 -0500 This is the weekend. It's finally here, and although I've been preparing myself, somehow I'm still not ready. This Sunday is Father's Day. I always want to make sure I do something fabulous for my husband and father both on Father's Day to let them know how much they're appreciated. http://www.greetings.ca/as-fathers-day-looms-in-the-near-future-029491.php http://www.greetings.ca/as-fathers-day-looms-in-the-near-future-029491.php Tue, 16 Jun 2009 17:08:30 -0500 This Sunday, June 14th, is Flag Day. While I have to say I don't know much about flags, I have always been brought up to respect what the flag symbolizes. While it's a symbol of pride for me to see a US flag flying high, and a symbol of mourning http://www.greetings.ca/happy-flag-day-029479.php http://www.greetings.ca/happy-flag-day-029479.php Fri, 12 Jun 2009 17:35:18 -0500 Hurray for breakfast pastries! Today is National Doughnut Day, or Donut Day, however you prefer to spell it... One of the really neat things about this holiday is that many doughnut places are giving away a free doughnut to each customer (some seem to have a "buy a coffee" http://www.greetings.ca/happy-doughnut-day-029455.php http://www.greetings.ca/happy-doughnut-day-029455.php Fri, 05 Jun 2009 08:41:43 -0500 I will be the first to admit that I don't know my history very well. When I was in school, I just wasn't that interested. Now that I'm older I wish I had paid more attention to things. It seems that the older you get the harder it is to http://www.greetings.ca/65-years-since-dday-at-normandy-029450.php http://www.greetings.ca/65-years-since-dday-at-normandy-029450.php Fri, 05 Jun 2009 00:37:59 -0500
