Slideshow

Shoestring Children’s Theater Company (SCTC) held a gift wrap fund raising event today at Barnes & Noble in Southlands Mall.  They put on a little skit and then lead children in fun activities afterward.  The costumes you see above are from an upcoming play, “Hildegarde and the Great Green Shirt Factory” based on a children’s book by the same name.  The book was written by a local Colorado author, Ravay Snow.  All of SCTC’s productions are based on books by local authors!

SCTC’s latest news:  We are now a nonprofit organization!

Merry Stress-Inducing Christmas

So it’s been a while since I last wrote something here.  I do apologize!  I’ve been distracted by Facebook, which is where you will find me daily now.  It’s a much quicker way to keep in touch with everyone.  Plus, I haven’t had time to spend writing anything note worthy here.  I still don’t, but I’m taking a little time anyway.

I am feeling completely overwhelmed and anxiety ridden at this point.  I’ve never been one to put a lot into Christmas, but this year is especially bad.  I’m still grieving the loss of my dad, and I’ve been working so much lately that I haven’t had the time to put much thought into decorating or gift giving.  I normally have a hard time coming up with gift ideas, but this year is much worse than normal.  That makes me feel bad for my kids – especially my youngest who still SAYS she believes in Santa.  I have no idea what to come up with for “Santa” gifts this year.  I don’t even know what to add to stockings besides the usual candy assortment.

So Merry Stress-Inducing Christmas to all, and to all a sleepless night!
