Guate Mall to support school in Guatemala

I have many wonderful items for sale in my Guate Mall.  All profits will go to support two schools in desperate need in Guatemala.  If you are interested in purchasing any of these items, let me know by leaving me a comment and I can give you the prices.  I will send you a PayPal invoice and after payment is received, I will mail you your items via USPS.

Please consider giving to this wonderful cause.  My friend Vanessa will be travelling down to Guatemala for a month starting the end of May to help these two schools.

Thank you!

My Crafty Girl

We finally made it back to the library for story time last night. We hadn't been since before Thanksgiving due to the holidays, vacation and snowy weather. Evelyn really did very well with following the rules and sitting and listening. I was really amazed last night in the changes in her ability to do the craft by herself. I have noticed a change in her drawing also in the last month or so when she brings pictures home from school. She used to just scribble but she has moved on and is now "drawing" people and faces. One day she excitedly showed me the picture that she drew and said "its you and me mommy!" There were definite faces and not much for bodies but I could see a big and little person.

Last night at the library she was very independent and didn't want my help in putting together her craft. She made a penguin which had 9 pieces to be glued together. She looked at the example once and then went about putting it together. She was concentrating so hard. I happen to have my camera in my purse so shot this video of my crafty girl.

She is now 3 1/2 years old. One of her best friends just turned 4 which just doesn't seem possible.

Here is a picture of her conentrating so hard.
