Pay it Forward... The Commuter Edition

On Monday I was so sleepy, I was standing at the bus stop day dreaming when my bus pulled up and I didn't really notice, a gal that normally rides my bus at night tapped me on the shoulder and told me the bus was here, so I didn't miss it. She said I looked like I was day dreaming... I told her thank you and she said "I didn't think you would want to miss the bus, pay it forward."

So I thought, next time I get an opportunity I'm going to!

I didn't really think about it yesterday afternoon when I was getting off the bus there was a guy sleeping pretty hard, and he normally gets off my stop, so I shook him (gently) awake and told him our stop was coming up. He was so thankful. So I told him what the gal told me... Pay it forward.

The bus pulled into Seattle this morning and I saw the guy I woke the day before wake someone else because their stop was coming up.

It made me smile.

Sometimes I think this city's too big to be noticed in, and that if I slept through my bus stop no one would notice. Now I know better.

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!
