I did a random drawing the other night to decide who would get my copy of The Wal-Mart Effect, and I’ll be passing it on to Ann from Beadiful Things. She’s promised to do a similar drawing on her own blog once she’s done reading it.
Again, I know I haven’t been doing much posting as of late. I’ve been kind of down the last couple of days…Today is the 2 year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. That probably has a little something to do with it. I just made a post on Blogging New Orleans about how strange today has been (a weird twist at work had me working with Katrina archives all day).
Anyway… I would like to say a huge thank you once again to all of the members of the online DIY/indie craft community who offered up so much support in the aftermath of Katrina. (The fundraisers sponsored by Craft Revolution alone raised nearly $25,000 for Katrina relief.) It really meant a lot to me, and I know it was one of the things that helped me get through that time… This community is so amazingly giving, no matter what the cause.
i can’t believe it’s been two years already. i remember working with a lot of people affected by the hurricane, trying to get them connected to resources and money…so, i understand why you are feeling so down. remember to take care of yourself.
