I had my first "free" Saturday in quite some time, so I went to a local craft fair and found this cool handmade hat. But it was plain, so I crocheted a flower for it, even though I've never crocheted a flower before. I love it! #crochet #handmade #diy #uplift #communitypolls

Love your running piece!! So different and vibrant!

Yikes, what an emotional entry!! Well done, you really got into the kid's head! Good luck!

Wow! So poignant! I want to know more about these characters! Good luck! 🍎🥧❤️

Love it! That's the photo I wrote about too!! Great puns! Good luck!

Oooh, I love that one! You packed so much into those 199 words! Great job! #fallwritingfrenzy

Yes, I do and it's crazy right now. (German is fading due to declining enrollment in the district as a whole so I'm having to teach French as well). The crafts keep me sane but are mostly a summer project. :)

Thanks! It's just local-- I don't want the hassle of mailing and also mailing items is not good for the environment-- but I'm enjoying being creative (need to keep writing, but that's such a slow and sometimes discouraging process!)

IYKYK!

I participated in my church's annual Mother's Day cake contest and won 1st place! I'm a complete amateur, but it's fun! (My son has been asking me to do a piano cake and we finally found the white #KitKats) #baking #cakes

I treated myself to this dress after losing 35 pounds and it's wonderful! (The company is too). My husband is from Toronto -- will let you know next time we visit in case you'd like to order. :)

Thank you so much!! Yours is amazing as well. What a gut punch with that last line! Well done!
