I guess it didn't matter that I changed from all natural high fructose orange juice to V8 Fusion.
My body has surrendered to germ warfare and now I'm creating piles of wet juicy tissues full of brave little white blood cells at every nesting location in my house.
I didn't think I was sick while I was at work today, I thought it was an intense allergy session due to high winds and wet leaves. But while watching abysmal TV tonight, I've come to the realization that I do indeed have a cold and I will need to take biohazard measures with all the tissues in my wastebasket at work.
So I guess this means I'm going to spend Halloween handing out not only candy treats but each child will also be getting a germified trick. Misery loves company!
On a less germy note... Project Runway starts Nov 14. I'm looking forward to doing my Nutshells again.
Oh, and I completed a recent project... I made this for one of my very good friends, K, in celebration of her Oct birthday and her father who she lost to pancreatic cancer in 2004. I attended his memorial service and K handed out to each person a package of Mammoth Sunflower seeds that had a little typed-up memory attached to each one. I kept the package, the typed memory, the bandana that was also handed out, and took pictures at each stage of the sunflowers' (from the package she gave us) growth this summer. Then I printed off the pictures in three different sizes so I could play around to find the best configuration. The frame is from Target and has three layers of glass but I could only do two layers as the top glass is the protective layer. I added a friendship touch (the Mary Engelbreit sticker to the right) and dated the pictures. I like to think the sunflower is K and the bumblebee is her dad zooming in for a visit. She was very touched and told me it was one of the best presents she's ever received. It's one of the projects I feel extremely proud of and it's also amongst the few where the reality matches the vision in my head.
