My Granddaughter, Morgan, made
her own Christmas cards this year.
I don't think I could do
near that well at that age. I just love
her.

Okay. Here he is. This is Petey. He is our new puppy. He is about 9 weeks old. He is wearing me out! And he has some sort of weird foot fetish. He is constantly after my feet. He can be clear across the room and if I take my shoes off, zoom, he's there. But he is so cute. I didn't really want another dog after Buster died, but Robert did and Petey is his dog.

It is a company that women in Ugandy sell paper beads to who in turn sell them to jewelry makers. You need to go into Spotlight and read about this. It is really something and saving so many women.

But making them is very time consuming,too.

I don't know who started making paper beads. Someone said that ladies in the Victorian era were making them. But there is a wonderful organization called "Beads for life". These beads are made by women in Ugandy. The money goes to help support the women who make them. You need to go read about this (
