This weekend I sent the following
letter to all of the 'family and friends' I could find in our
address book, in two e-mails, one from The G, one from me,
depending on how you know us. (I know one of my aunties won't even
open an e-mail if she doesn't recognize the name) One thing I
learned is that our address book is terribly un-updated, so forgive
me if I left you off, I'll be working on updating our address book!
The other thing that I learned is Murphey's law as it applies to
e-mail: as soon as you hit send, you'll remember what you
forgot to write! What I left out of the e-mail was inviting you-all
again to the forums page, and asking you to please send our
site address, or the whole e-mail, to anyone you think might find
it interesting. Thanks.
Dear Family and Friends:
Bryan and I have taken on a new presence on the interweb.
The Thing Of The Day is a blog website with a contest. Every week day Bryan and I will each post a 'thing', photography, comics, crafts, whatever. (Shelly's definition and Bryan's pdf definition) We'll see who can stick it out the longest, a contest of endurance. Here's the 'official' rules. (Weren't we cute as babies! And if you can't figure out who is who, my kids have informed me that my photo is in black and white because I'm older!)
Please check it out. While you're at it, check out the disclaimer page. We know that we don't all share the same opinions or sense of humor, so please decide what is appropriate for you &/or your kids.
Feel free to leave us comments. All comments left in April will be entered into a random drawing.

If you comment on this post that you received our letter, I'll put you in the April drawing twice!
P.S. My bonus 'thing' today is this little piece of grade-school art that I made at work with highlighters. Do you remember making these? I remember we usually did our names, maybe we made one with the name of the boy that we liked. I remember making these all the time.
Here's a little bonus for you: I challenge you to make one of these, it's simple, kinda fun, and reminiscent of childhood, and added bonus, if you use crayons, you get that nice crayon smell!
