We started on a Scotland lapbook yesterday. Mollusc printed out a Scottish flag for the Prawn to colour, and then we minted a bunch of Scottish money:
I found a great resource for kids: Electric Scotland
but steel yourself, cuz I found it a bit startling when the electric bagpipe music started.
We're hoping to find people to host a Flat (mascot - haven't decided on him yet) - like Flat Stanley - in Scotland, England and Ireland, since we'll be studying those countries. Anyone reading this want to apply? We'll gladly host a Flat Someone in exchange. :)
It's my week to send a card (we're doing a card train - someone sends a card every week) to an online friend who lost her husband to cancer, but I suck at cards. So instead I made her a Psalm 23 bracelet:
and I tucked in 2 Navan CDs. I know it's ironic to be a writer who sucks at cards, but there you are. I did write a letter, just so you don't think I'm completely gauche. It's still very hard, emotionally, for me to face this and I can't even imagine how she and the kids are feeling. I pray for them a lot.
More later. . .

Very pretty snowglobe you have there! Here, we just have more of the same except finally with a dose of sunshine. I realized the one thing that would make blogger happier for me - the thing like you have on forums where you can get notified if someone else leaves a reply to a comment you left on someone else's blog! (ok, that felt like really warped English, but you get where I'm going) I get my nice emails if someone leaves a comment on my blog, but never know if someone has replied to a comment I left on someone else's blog. Sigh. So close. Anyway, I upgraded my comments as much as I could for now so they expand instead of doing the popup thing. Fun!
Oooh, and i finally got Zicam (thank you, Community Pharmacy). It may be too far into the cold now for it to really work, but even if it's just a placebo, I feel better this afternoon than I did this morning! (or maybe I'm just getting over it) Babble babble.
Oh - that would be a GREAT feature! Do they have a suggestion email box? I would love that feature. :o)
Glad you got your Zicam! It can't hurt. I think it will still lessen the severity and duration even if it's too late to head it off. I think I kicked my cold's butt! yay! There's just a wee bit of tapering off going on.
Our entire Psalm 23 Jewelry Collection http://www.Psalm23Jewelry.com is designed to become timeless
and personal reminders of the comfort, hope, courage, faith, love and inspiration of
the 23rd Psalm. These beautiful pieces can help
make this powerful Bible passage part of your daily life, or for someone you love.
Each crystal and bead have been thoughtfully and prayerfully selected to relate to
passages from the 23rd Psalm.
We hope that each time you wear our jewelry, you'll reflect on God's
eternal Word and the hope it provides.
Laura Kramer states, "People often share their stories of how God is using our jewelry to provide hope, healing and blessings in numerous ways far beyond what we had ever anticipated. Their stories include the loss of a loved one, breast or ovarian cancer, military and armed forces personnel, depression, drug addiction and grief. The list continues to grow, both within the United States and around the world."
With each jewelry piece we include the Message of Hope CD that includes the message series Pastor Fraser gave, we hope it will inspire you and help you in your own spiritual growth. I also share a little bit of my story on the CD as well. Laura K Designs donates a portion of the proceeds back to ministries within Cucamonga Christian Fellowship reserved to help sponsor counseling and other Pastoral Care ministries.
The inspirational and original Psalm 23 Bracelet is composed of coordinating Swarovski ® crystals and
sterling silver pieces including a cross charm and prayer box charm that
opens to fit a tiny prayer inside.
An optional Star of David charm may be substituted or added.
This design is approximately 71/2" in length and is finished with a toggle clasp.
Our extended toggle clasp has 3 loops to choose from
for a customized fit that may extend to approximately 8".
