"Marilla is a famous cook. She is trying to teach me to cook but I assure you, Diana, it is uphill work. There's so little scope for imagination in cookery. You just have to go by the rules. The last time I made a cake I forgot to put the flour in."

Paper Bag Puppets

Apparently it isn't enough that I've been responding to everything Andrea posts. . . ;) So, since I have absolutely nothing of interest to say, I'll just tell you what I've been up to that has been keeping me from blogging.

I am not a crafty person, but here I am planning crafts for the Peacemaker Puppet Clubs this summer! So far I have modified two crafts from last year and created two new ones. Paper bag puppets anyone? Worldless book bracelets? Picture frames? Magnets? Doorknob hangers? Fun stuff!

I'm not sure why I took this job. A person who hates shopping and hates spending money is now doing both rather prolifically. :) Just now I purchased 240 each of the following:

Squeeze Animal Squirt Gun
Bouncy Ball
Kazoo
Jumping Frog
Blow Ball Game

Now I need to go buy animal crackers for 1200 kids. . .

Doesn't it make you wish you could come to the puppet clubs??

    You poor girl! Shopping does put one in such a distasteful mood.

    (Oh, yes, I remember, it's an opportunity for thankfulness...)

    The rest of femininity may not--but I understand.

    Thanks for the sympathy. It helps to know that someone understands! :)

    Well, it ain't so bad when shared with friends, eh Melodee? Thanks for sharing in my late run to the department store. It even made going into WALMART not so bad. *wink*

    By the way, THANK YOU for posting. :)
