Every year a local radio station has partnered with other local businesses to do "Conquer Cancer With a Quarter" campaign.  During the week, they have a couple of dj's present ata the mall where people can drop off quarters to donate.  I think this will be the 37th year.  Businesses who donate a min of $150 will get their business name announced throughout the week.  Cancer has taken many of my family members.  The most recent was Easter 2018 where my aunt passed away from breast cancer.  She was only 47.  I always save my quarters throughout the year and donate them during this time.  Conquer Cancer with a Quarter week is always the first full week of  August.  This year it will be Aug 5-9th.  I want to do more.  I will be donating 20% of my sales from Etsy from now till Aug 4th.  Please help me to help find a cure for cancer.  Thanks!!!

Fair Time!

The Lebanon Area Fair is fast approaching!  Hannah and I will be turning in our entries on Friday.  So exciting!  She is turning in one pencil drawing and one pencil crayon drawing, a pillow, recycle item (accessory item) which she made a zipper pouch out of old jeans and a recycle item, she turned a kitchen item into an earring holder and she decorated a clay flower pot.  I still have some baking to do. I will be submitting peanut brittle, 3 drop cookies banana bread and machine bread.  I have all of my other items finished.  Which I didn't think was going to be possible.  I wanted to do a rippled afghan and I had one started a few months ago.  I picked up where I had stopped but apparently I was using the wrong size crochet hook!  So, on July 4th, I started a zippered afghan from scratch.  I binged  watched Beverly Hills 90210 while I stayed focused on the afghan.  I have that finished and also completed a granny square afghan.  I am also entering in one of my jean baskets, an apron and a jean picnic blanket.  I can't wait for the fair.  Saturday we will see what we won.  It's fun to win, but I also like that 1000's of people see our work.

Hannah sold some of her hand sewn pillows and she was excited!  As a typical 14 year old, she spent some of the money on make-up but she did buy more polyfill stuffing to make more pillows. 

Check out my Etsy shop. You will find items that I have made and of course, Hannah's pillows.
