GREAT EVENT

You can be a part of helping New Life Pregnancy Center by attending their Concert for a Cause on Friday, August 3rd at Mountain Ridge Baptist Church in Glendale.  The concert is featuring Josh Wilson and opening act Cold Soup.  It is free and they are asking for donations of packs of diapers in sizes 3 to 5 for entries into a raffle.  You can get the complete details by following the link below.

With school about to start here in Arizona, there are a lot of great back-to-school shopping deals that you  might want to take advantage of for some future gift making.  The two things that spring to my mind are composition books and crayons.  You can buy both for a huge discount right now. 

So what can you do with inexpensive composition books and crayons?  I always stock up on the composition books for note taking in church, journal writing, and for keeping track of tips that I find in magazines, newspapers, online and the news.  I glue the articles in the books and write in the other tips I find.  It is a nice way to keep track of the tips I find without holding onto the bulky magazines.  You can really jazz up the books too.  Here is a link to a tutorial from Squidoo on how to make an Altered Composition book

I have seen people melt broken crayons into cute little crayon shapes, but this page at Parenterest has many, many different craft ideas that you can turn into gifts that can be easily and cheaply made by utilizing those currently inexpensive crayons.  Maybe you can make some nice teacher gifts.

Colored pencils can also be picked up at a very reasonable price.  Kaboose has a really simple craft utilizing colored pencils to make a cute vase or pencil can.

I don't know how long this will  last, but I just saw the opportunity to earn Martha Stewart's Living Magazine at Rewards Gold.  If you aren't a member you  need to join, invite two friends, take a survey and do four reviews (short) on breakfast foods.  It really takes very little time.  I don't know how long this will be available.  So give it a shot.
