Yesterday, Judith and I played in the barn in preparation for the Country Living Fair! This will be the best year ever; we are coming back refreshed and very excited! The Homegirl Shop will be participating in the COLUMBUS Country Living Fair; September 12-14, 10AM-5PM. Buy a ticket and come visit us! Also, this year we will not be in our usual space, we have moved locations, so be on the look out!

Akron Beacon Journal Article

Positive Messages Stick!  The following link takes you to an article that was in The Akron Beacon Journal this past Sunday about Lila and her friend Sadie who started an anonymous guerilla art campaign using post it notes with positive messages on them around Hudson Middle School that I spoke of in a prior blog post.  I am fortunate enough to have Mary Beth Breckenridge (an awesome ABJ writer who has done stories about Homegirl) read my blog and ask fellow awesome writer Kim Mcmahan to do a story about the girls. What struck me most about what these girls are doing is that Kim said that she mostly does stories on bullying and that this was very heartwarming to hear of young ladies trying to make a positive difference.  We could not be more proud of both our daughters and this is one of the best things that has ever come from me doing this blog.  Thank YOU ALL for allowing me to share!

Valentine Box

Edie and I spent a snow day making this Owl Valentine's Day box. We used an attached lidded shoe box for the body, using the cardboard scraps for it's feet and beak. We cut ears out of the attached lid flap and wrapped the box in wrapping paper, then we used construction paper for the eyes and wings. I can't get over how adorable it turned out (especially the little heart banner).
