a little extension...

Your comments have been awesome...those of you who posted are definitely very talented in storytelling.  I've set aside time each morning and every evening to read them all and it's really been a pleasure!

Just knowing that so many of you enjoy the telling and hearing of stories solidified what I'll be doing as a kit for July...stay tuned.

I wanted to let you know that I'll be doing the drawing for the giveaway a few hours later today...I'm getting together with my cousin for lunch today...we tend to be somewhat spontaneous in when we get together.  It's usually a text or phone call that starts with "Are you free for lunch today?"  We are both free today...so the benefit to you is that you have a few extra hours to post a comment and be eligible for the drawing.

I wanted to share a little story with you about the gloves in this month's kit.  I was working on packaging them yesterday and it reminded me of the conversation.

There are a ton of white gloves...you can see them pictured here in the beverage tub.  I've never seen so many in one place before!

When I was placing my order, the lady from whom I ordered wanted to know if I'd be using these for a dance recital or a parade.  I told her that I was actually using them for book kits and that the gloves were for the front cover, there was dead silence...then she said, "Wow, I've never heard of that before!".

I must say, we are definitely helping expand the minds of people when it comes to repurposing things, aren't we?

I'll see you this afternoon...in the meantime, keep the comments coming!

Hi Carol. I love to tell stories to my grandkids by putting the tons of pics I have into the many mini books that I've accumulated through years of taking and teaching classes, plus kits. They love the books when I add the pictures and love to hear the stories about the "old days."
