Some CTMH news

I really like Close To My Heart. They have wonderful supplies for both scrapbooking and cardmaking- they are, I think, the most balanced company for those of us who like both activities. Their stamps are terrific quality and very diverse in style, their papers are lovely, their kits are beautifully coordinated and all their supplies are great.

So, if you've been wondering about Close To My Heart, here's your chance to find out more with a small investment.

My friend and CTMH consultant, Cindy, is forming a new monthly rewards/hostess club. I'm definitely joining- I love monthly clubs because they keep me on a budget and bring me a package each month.

If you are interested, just check out THIS LINK at her blog. All the info you need is there. Hope to "see you" in the club!

Why "Tilting at Windmills"?

When I started this blog in October 2007, there was a story here about my connection to "Tilting With Windmills". Much of what was in that post no longer applies. Much other of it still does. So, here's the story.

When I was graduating from high school, more than 40 years ago, a group of my friend presented me with a print of Picasso's Don Quixote. They said it reminded me of them.

I get upset when things are wrong, even though getting upset cannot fix them. I dislike people who are cruel or petty or self-serving, and am frustrated that I cannot change them. I fight a daily battle with my health, although I know that every new day is another battle. I have a husband and close friends who support me, even when what I want or believe seems crazy.

So, the comparison with Don Quixote is perhaps an apt one. The story encourages me to take on the battles I see, even the hopeless ones. It reminds me to try to see the best in people. It comforts me that, in the end, even if my actions are futile, they are not meaningless.

I mean to try to continue "to dream the impossible dream".
