So in the link up below are the ones I've entered today (may have missed some). Feel free to add your own!

Yesterday I posted my tasty winnings, and today I'm posting another winning! This time it is a lovely bracelet.
Thanks to the lovely creator at The Ivy Cottage Creations, I am not the sparkly owner of a silver floral bangle bracelet. It's very cute, and very me. Which probably explains why I'm wearing it right now.
Thank you for my new bracelet!

The idea is to use up your yarn stash, or as much is feasible, during 2012. You earn points for using up yarn, and for finishing projects. Of course I just got an order for a large project that I need to buy yarn for, so I'll have a point backslide. But it will all work out in the end.

Today we attended a memorial service for a friend. At 41, he died too young. It was sudden, a blood clot in his leg that broke lose and lodged in his heart. One minute he's posing and showing off the new kilt he made himself, and enjoying some french fries, the next he is gone.
We met Rob a couple months ago, through our kids.

Life... sometimes it really gets the better of me. One day I'm graduating high school, the next I'm 34 and my son is a Sophomore in high school. Taking a good look at myself I realize, I have lived too much of my life as an overweight women!!

Really?Today I registered my baby boy for high school (don't tell him I called him that). I can't believe DB is 14 years old and about to be a freshman! To top it off, now that we are out of that horrible district, we're putting him back in public school. His dad and I got a chance to meet his counselor, the soccer and baseball coach (he's trying out for both), and get a look around the school.
