Are You Making Gifts Instead of Buying Them?
It's so nice when people share their talents with one another. I have friends who this week are busy baking biscotti and cookies that they will give as holiday gifts. Another friend is working on a quilt that she'll give her sweetheart for Christmas. These are all lovely expressions of creativity and caring. And, frankly, they're a nice change from store-bought gifts. Plus, there's no risk of getting a duplicate and having to return one of them. Hats off to those of you who share your crafty, culinary or other creative talents at this time of year! Do you have a special skill that you like to share with friends and family? Cooking? Sewing? Knitting? Painting? Decorating? Please share in the Comments section.

My one friend has just moved here from Pittsburgh and she only knows a couple of people. I know how scary it can be to move to a new place so I'm doing what I can to help. When I first moved to a new place, a girlfriend hosted a tea party at her place so I could meet some of her friends. They soon became my friends so last night I held a dinner party so MB could meet some other neighborhood women. I have to acknowledge the awesomeness of my friends who are welcoming MB with open arms. Within minutes, everyone who meets her is offering job leads and exchanging LinkedIn information. They're truly willing to help someone they hardly know. I'm so touched by that! They're acting like any friend of mine is a friend of theirs and that's a beautiful thing. Do you have a story about a friend really coming through for you? Or do you want to give a shout out to a pal who's always there when you need her/him? Please do so in the Comments section.

On this last day of winter, I'm wearing the beautiful scarf shown in the photo.  Yes it's warm and practical on a cold day like today, but it also gives me a warm feeling, knowing that my friend made it.  Just for me.  She picked a pattern she thought I'd like and used wool in colors I love...
