Congratulations to our Gracious Rain winner—
She has won the Red Flapper Hat from my Etsy Shop.
Melissa says:
oooh, pick me, pick me! This hat is so cute! I wish I could make such cute hats. I will definitely be sticking it on my baby girl’s head if I win!

Wahoo Melissa!
Thanks for playing everyone.
“As a physician, who has been deeply privileged to share the most profound moments of people’s lives including their final moments, let me tell you a secret. People facing death don’t think about what degrees they have earned, what positions they have held, or how much wealth they have accumulated. At the end, what really matters is who you loved and who loved you. That circle of love is everything, and is a great measure of a past life. It is the gift of greatest worth.”
Dr. Bernadine Healy, Commencement address, Vassar College, 29 May 1994
Here is a puddle that I am overjoyed to appreciate.
Of course, there is a big mess to clean up.
But really, not so big in the long run.
And besides, I have a chorus of baby giggles to serenade me, and chubby fingers learning how to clean up.
And most important of all, best friends in the making.
It’s all about perspective, ladies.
Have a wonderful day.
PS While my Mom is having technical difficulties at her house (I won’t mention what problems she’s having, only that it has to do with her internet and a certain company’s less-than-advertised “spirit of service”…) I’m charged with keeping you all entertained. Hopefully she’ll be back to her regularly scheduled antics tomorrow.

Many of you may remember–months ago when we shared instructions and question prompts for the Personal History Prompt Jar. Well, of course, we hope that you made a dozen for your family and friends for Christmas–but just in case you weren’t that ambitious—
This week’s giveaway will be a prompt jar with a manly sized lid—just perfect for the father figure in your life…
all set with the prompt slips fun enough to nudge dad–or anyone into writing it all down. What better time than now and just right for Father’s Day.
Leave a comment on this post and we’ll announce the winner on Friday, June 12th at 10:00 am.
Good luck everyone!
