A few of the things I find each week that pique my interest, bring me joy, inspire me to learn, create, do, become . . . Maybe they will do the same for you!

And those are my finds for this week. I hope you found something of value that you can use. I find lots more than this, but these are things I think you just might like. I hope that you did!
I had a great day yesterday. I have gotten my talk half written and then my sister and I took an impromptu trip up the Valley. We had placed a Costco order. There is a convenience store up-country who makes weekly trips into Costco and picks up whatever you want for a small fee. We've used them a few times now and it works beautifully for us. No membership fee and we get exactly what we want. We are really happy with it.
Then of course if we are up that far we went to Michaels. I picked up a couple of craft items to do with Josh the weekend he is here. I can't wait!! I got a gingerbread man decorating cookie kit, and these two small ornament kit things. Buy one, get one free. I also got a few dribs and drabs to decorate my home a little bit so that it looks a tiny bit festive when they come. Can you tell I am excited to see them? I am!! My son called yesterday to confirm they will be here from the Saturday (27th) until the Tuesday next!!!
