Trickle Down Arghhh

Yes, it's another spelling vent. This is a snippet of an email we received from one of our highest ranking corporate officers:

"....we may of become too internally focused..."

I know this is a common writing mistake, because so many people hear "could have" or "could've" as "could of". It just saddens me to think people don't really know that the correct word is "have", not "of".

Perhaps we've become so audio-centric that no one reads anymore.

Eat, Craft, Eat, Craft

I love going to card workshops at our demonstrator Helena's house. She always has yummy snacks to keep us occupied between projects. She is a wonderful cook. This workshop was in early May so there is a hint of Cinco de Mayo in the menu.

 
We also made three great cards. I sent the birthday card to my sister, whose special day is mid-May, and you can never have two many sympathy cards, sadly. I can't post the third card as it going to go to a co-worker and I don't want to show it before delivering it to the recipient.


 
Being creative is just so calming. Who couldn't use more calm? I certainly can use some!
