46/52 ~ Unexpected Kindness

This week was filled with all kinds of unexpected kindnesses.  Reminded me that there are wonderful people, thoughtful people, still left in the world.

  • The week opened with a bus driver who waited for me at the bus stop.  She saw me hurrying across the street with my metro pass-card in hand.  Although they’re not supposed to stop if no-one is getting off or waiting at the bus-stop, she waited for me and I was truly grateful!
  • Another day when I needed to refill my pass-card I had to take a cab to the train station.  I was short $1.00 on the fare but the taxi-driver said that it was okay.   Whew!!!!
  • My co-worker sent me cake through inter-office mail.  Just to say “hi”, “thanks for putting up with us”, “thanks for all you do”.  It was a wonderful, super tasty surprise.
  • T allowing me to get some paperwork for my job notarized without having to pay for it.   Said that was her contribution to the agency for the holidays!   I appreciated her graciousness
  • Two Rav pals sending me lovely messages this week.  One sending by pm a “hope you’re doing well, thinking about you” message and another sending me a surprise handwritten letter that I’ve been carrying around since I got it.  It was heart-warming to receive a hand-written letter; it being from her makes it all the more special.

Craft Book Challenge: Cause Christmas Can’t Come Soon Enough …

craftbookchallengesmall buttonI should have posted this last week for the October entry of my craft book challenge.  This should not even be considered a D.I.Y how to — it was so easy.  All I needed were some colourful jump-rings and some charms (I bought all the supplies at Oriental Trading during Summer 2012 ).  Five minutes later … 14 winter/Christmas themed stitch-markers.  Yes, I know it’s only Fall, but Christmas can’t come soon enough for me!  😛

Aren’t they just so adorable?!!!!  My favourite’s the little penguin!

Stitch MarkersThis super cute, quickie project satisfied my urge somewhat to get some crafting in despite the craziness that came at the end of October.  My schedule is clearing so I’ll be back to “real” crafting soon.

Off to go make my chili and cornbread!  Yummzers!!!  That’s after I go try to find some cute gingerbread men charms!  LOLOL!  😛
