In my never ending quest for organization, I’ve been trying to come up with a better way to keep track of color “recipes”. I started writing the info on the back of a baked color chip, but it’s hard to write small enough if it’s a complicated color mix. Then, what to do with all the chips? I’ve strung them up, put them loose in a container. Nothing just seemed to work for me.
Several months ago, I started gluing thin baked color chips to index cards with the plenty of room to write down the “recipe”. I really liked this idea, but still wasn’t sure the best way to store the index cards. I didn’t have the space to give up for an index card file on my work desk, but wanted to keep the cards handy. Finally found what I was looking for….
This wonderful little index card holder by Mead.
I hung it up by the ring, so it’s within easy reach.

The closest guess without going over will win a $15 gift certificate to my etsy store. Guessing ends at 10:00pm Eastern time and a winner will be announced shortly after that.

Sunday, November 16th, the Etsy Angels will be hosting a Fall Splendor Event to officially welcome our newest members. There will be scavenger hunts, guessing games, prizes and maybe even a sale or two. I believe that the festivities get started around 5:00 pm Eastern time. I will be back tomorrow with my game and a link to the Fall Splendor thread on Etsy.

I caught some kind of gunk last week and am finally starting to feel like I might live. 
I thought you might want to know the totals for the Etsy Angels Think Pink campaign for Breast Cancer Awareness.
The Etsy Angels and their helpers raised $677.98 during the month of October, which has been donated to the Susan G Komen Foundation!!!! YAY!!!

Regardless of who you voted for, there is no doubt that this was a historical election. It was also the first time my 19 year old daughter was eligible to vote in a major election. I was very proud that she went to vote and had informed opinions about the candidates.
I didn’t vote based on a candidate’s color of skin, but who I felt was the best for our country and failing economy. So, it really just hit me this morning, how significant this is. Our country has elected a black man as president. I wasn’t sure that I would ever see that happen in my life time. It does give me hope that we may someday see a woman president in the white house.
After all the negative ads, I also have to comment on how impressed I was with the gracious speeches given by both candidates.

Tired of all the negative political ads? I sure am, so I decided we could have a little fun on election day. You have a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to my etsy shop. All you have to do is leave me a comment saying “I voted!”. I will chose a random winner from those who left a comment at 10pm Central time today.
And the winner chosen by random.org was post number 7 - Caren. Congrats Caren! Thanks to everyone who played along.
