Abigail's Angels Fundraiser

I have volunteered to hold a fundraiser for baby Abigail, the niece of my friend. Abigail is only 10 months old and was recently diagnosed with 3 Venous Malformations. This fundraiser is to help facilitate the accessibility and treatment for her.

Vote for NELL

Our local AAA Baseball Team, the Iron Pigs, is hosting a contest for our local Little Leagues. The winning league will get a field makeover. How awesome is that? This is where I need your help!

I know that each and every one of the little league finalists could use the help but I am asking for help for Northeast Little League. All you have to do is go to this Iron Pigs post on Facebook and click "LIKE" for the Northeast Little League - Bethlehem photo. The league with the most likes will win the makeover.


Per a local supporter:
"Drainage is the biggest issue and it has obviously become a safety issue for the kids. With no money coming in from the City, it is up to the volunteers to raise money AND donate time for the upkeep of this field, money that could be spent elsewhere on equipment and uniforms."

NELL is the only team from Bethlehem (my hometown) that made the finals, so I am more than happy to show my support. Not only are they the only team from Bethlehem to make the cut, growing up I used to play softball for a rival league, South Side Little League. Although back then we "hated" them, I always loved playing against them. They were a good team but also by the time I was in high school I was playing against some of my friends & classmates. Always a good game and always a good time!

So help me and support NELL!

TIA

Craft Room / Office Redo

Since we moved into this house, I wanted to make sure that I had a little spot that I can call my own where I can put my creativity to work. "Back in the day" I was huge onto arts and crafts. I mean I still love them but haven't made the time to do it and quite frankly, I didn't have the energy to do it. As a result, I kind of felt lost. It was definitely time for a change.

At first this little spot was going to be in the basement, in this perfect little corner. There was a little BIG problem though. There was no heat on that side of the basement so in the winter, it would get as cold as it was outside. Yikes! So we had to change our plans. Well since we have pushed off Baby #2 a little bit longer, we now have this spare bedroom that we have been currently using as our office that would work perfectly. In fact, the hubs insisted that I make it the craft room as long as it would have a small spot for him when he needed to work on computers. Yay! So now I have the perfect room!

Of course like any re-do, this will take time to finish. That's the part that drives me crazy because once I get started, I want to finish. I will TRY to be as patient as I can.

To get started, I had to start planning on what I wanted done.

Here are a few of my ideas of what needs to be done:

> Paint the room
> Get a table / desk that is big enough for both me and my hubs
> Get a small table for my sewing machine
> Get bookcases / shelving for storage
> Get a cabinet of sorts for our office paper and such
> Organize our crafting and office supplies
> Decorate. Decorate. Decorate.

It's going to be one heck of a project but should be fun! Stay tuned... As I make updates, I will share them with ya.
