If you were a crayon, what color would you be?
This weeks "Tell The Truth Thursday", hosted by the Redheaded Riter, is about Crayons. What color would I be?
This is an easy question for me because of a gift my girls got when they were very young.
My sister, Karen is a food broker. She is a "middle man" between the grocery stores and the companies that make the products. When the girls were young, she was a representative for the Crayola Company. That made her an especially fun auntie when it came to gift giving!
One year the girls each got a really cool wooden box with a blue crayon in it.
This crayon was personalized!

"You're My True Blue Hero"
"Katy Barber"
"From Auntie Karen"
This is a loooooooong story to tell you why I would chose to be a True Blue Crayon! :-)

Dear Blog: I'm sorry I've been ignoring you......
Dear Blog:
I'm sorry I've been ignoring you this week. It's been very busy around here. So far this week I have cleaned out the shed, washed my new car by hand, designed and created 35 invitations for the preschool department at church, created, designed and put together 400 matchbook mint wrappers and now I am painting the livingroom. Well, I haven't actually been painting. I have been assisting Katy while she painted. Tomorrow is haircut, shopping, lunch day so you will have to wait again. I promise when I get the house back together I will try and do a better job of keeping up with you.
Love, Marlene

Shopping with a friend....
A couple of weeks ago a friend and I went into the city. We spent the day at a big consignment/antique store. My only "find" for the day wasn't an antique at all. This little book case was only $14. It is in perfect shape and matches some bigger ones that we already have. I thought I would use it as an end table by our sofa and get some extra video storage at the same time for our family room. Turned out the bookcase was too high and the backing showed above the arm of the couch. 
I decided instead to add it to the end of an already existing video bookcase. I was surprised when I realized that it not only was it oak but the color and style were exact!
I think the finished product is pretty good and you can't beat the price.
