Hope everyone enjoyed their last days of Summer! The Alvarado house was hit with the flu (the 24 hour variety) but we're all just fine now. Just spending the day doing laundry and disinfecting everything, which really isn't that different from most Mondays, come to think of it. Hmm.. Thanks for all of the reassuring notes about my last post..it's nice to think we all share similar experiences. And for those who asked, garbage day is Weds..you guys crack me up!

I'm posting today to remind everyone about the
Nie Nie Benefit Sale on Etsy beginning tomorrow. All of the proceeds will be going to
the Nielson family who really,
really need financial help, prayers and good thoughts directed their way. Their medical bills, ongoing care, plus a mortgage,etc. are expected to go into the millions. They have many challenges ahead but it would be nice to think that with a little help from all of us , they will be able to surmount at least some of the financial ones.
Etsian and blogger Morgan Moore has arranged the Benefit Sale and I believe she will be posting details about the sale this evening so be sure to visit her blog. And if you are participating in the sale, maybe leave Morgan a little thank you. Any of you who sell on Etsy know how long it takes to photograph, edit and list just one item. I believe she is listing over 200 items that were sent to her. That takes some organizational skills, patience and time. She is also photographing most of the items along with sending them out. So a huge Thanks to her !! I hear there are going to be lots of great items to buy and blogger friends such as Heather at
Bumblebird and Jenn at
Noodle and Lou will be participating as well! There will be plenty of more opportunities to get involved if you are unable to at this time.
