Upcycled Garden: Cantaloupe!
I compost to make dirt for my garden – It’s not glamorous, but there it is.
But then I thought – What if I used my compost to plant my garden?

Hello, Hot Stuff.
Valentine’s Day – Not the holiday typically set aside for handmade / recycled gifts, unless they’re from your 5 year-old. Or so I thought. Keep your flowers and chocolates – I totally want this.

Swaggernaut!
My plan is to blow all my Swagbucks on Amazon gift cards and post those cards to my Amazon account. Then I’ll order all my Christmas gift from Amazon.com and Viola! – Free Christmas!
Another bonus is that while everyone else isrushing around in the rain looking for a parking space, I’ll be doing all my Christmas shopping online… in my PJs… while drinking coffee in my kitchen. All Is Calm.

Operation Christmas Child – A Simple Shoebox
Tomorrow kicks off the national collection week for Operation Christmas Child – although for many of us this project actually begins in July, when it’s still hot outside and most people aren’t thinking about Christmas.
Today our small church exchanged our normal Sunday morning service for a box packing service – everyone of every age participated. Two hours and 1200 shoe boxes later we had turned a small congregation into world-wide missionaries, sending hope to children all over the world.
