Cool Gifts

This is a picture of my good friend Charlene. It's the only picture I could find of her, it just so happens she is being serenaded to by Donny Osmond on her anniversary in this shot.
I like a lot of things about Charlene. I like that when she taught my daughter's sunbeam class she brought so many handouts and cool projects that she had to bring a rolling suitcase to carry them all in each week. I like that she has taken the time to visit me in the hospital after I've had babies, even babies born on Christmas. I like her sense of fashion and style. I think I like the fact that when she leaves messages on my answering machine she calls me Jenny Pooh. And on a selfish note, I like that she gives me extremely cool gifts.
When my fourth child was born she gave me a beautiful scrapbook, with all the pages and layouts completed, all I had to do was stick the picture in the spot. Most 4th children are not lucky enough to own their own scrapbook, thanks to Charlene, mine does. For Christmas she gave me beautiful handmade cards. I treasure them and only use them for very special occasions.
She is so talented she has a new website where people can buy and sell homemade scrapbooks and cards. The current website is a soft launch of the real website which is due to go live mid-June. Right now she is gathering info from people who are interested in having a store on the site. It's called eWillow.com. And as soon as I can figure out how to put a little ad of it on my sidebar I will.
