I had no idea how to title this post, so there ya go. I realize it’s way after Christmas, so this is late just like our family’s Christmas newsletter that still hasn’t gone out. Maybe it’ll be a Valentine’s Day family newsletter.

Back when I was in Girl Scouts, I remember making this neat craft with old Christmas cards. When I first started with Daisies, I knew at some time we would make this craft. So I began saving all of the covers of our Christmas cars. Year after year, the cards started piling up in the crawlspace. One day – I knew it was time! So I pulled out the hundred or so cards for our upcoming Junior meeting and party. Something I hoarded finally paid off! Continue reading

This Is What I Do When I’m Supposed To Be Cleaning

Random Things That Don't Fit Anywhere Else Kinda Like Me No Comments cookies, councils, graphics, j-low, university of georgia

My house is always a wreck. I’d like to blame my two young children, but let’s be honest – it’d probably still be a wreck even if they weren’t around. I hate cleaning. So if there’s anything that I can do other than cleaning, I’ll be doing it.

Earlier this week, Clemson played Ala-damn-bama for the National Championship as every true Southern woman knows. Alabama won, but Clemson gave it their all. It was a great game. I was jealous that Georgia wasn’t playing. Sigh. Maybe one day. Wait ’till next year. Continue reading

The Juliette Gordon Low Papers Collection

Traditional Stuff No Comments gsusa, history, j-low, traditions, university of georgia

Happy New Year! Recently I was looking for something online and somehow surfed my way to the University System of Georgia’s Digital Library of Georgia. Of course, I have no recollection of what I was initially looking for and why exactly I went to this website. It’s one of my bookmarks anyway because there are two sections having to do with my family – the Gordon County Obituaries and Berrien County Historical Photos Collections, if you were wondering.
