Keep on swimming

Thank you all for your kindness. I need to keep working to find some acceptance for our current state of affairs, as it is quite apparent that this going to be our reality for some time. So, I am going to just keep on swimming. (Thanks LLA!)

With no sewing machine I am "forced" to resort to paper crafts. (I actually quite like paper crafting, but I don't really have the supplies that I do for sewing, so it requires careful planning. Jack only lasts about 2.2 seconds in Archivers before disaster is looming. At least during this trip there were about 20 other kids his age having an equally hard go of it.)

Despite having taken 20 photographs of this guy in every light imaginable, I haven't really captured the metallic papers very well. But you get the idea, right? I always have one idea in my head and then when I get to the store I can never find the paper I envisioned. (I was hoping for orange and brown polka dots for the background.) I am glad I had to go with the stars now, they are just right. Hoooooot, hoooooooot, I am still looking forward to Halloween!

BTW, did anyone else watch Kid Nation last night? I cried a little with Jimmy, but man kids are amazing creatures. I was so impressed with their kindness, their enthusiasm and their bravery.

I will be back tomorrow with something. Who knows what though. LOL
