<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">The first mini-challenge (brought ot you by <a href="http://thelemmelibrary.blogspot.com/2012/03/ole-bloggiesta-challange-misterlinky.html" target="_blank">The Book Butcher</a>) I am completed is learning how to use <a href="http://www.blenza.com/linkies/" target="_blank">Mr. Linky</a>. This is a site that creates a widget which allows visitors to link up their pages instead of posting a comment. This will help me on Wednesdays when I am collecting pages (free spots-check back Wednesday!) to add to our rafflecopter form for our giveaways. This way will give facebook and blog pages that join us 2 separate places for free marketing. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New;">So, here it is! The first Mr. Linky form for Crafty Fridays. Please go ahead and link up your page or blog!</span></strong><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><strong>The mug is something I now cherish. It has the scripture {1John 4:8} 'She didn't have to be perfect because she was perfectly loved' on the side and is a scripture I will carry with me as I grow spiritually. It makes me think that not only God, but my family also loves me perfectly even when I am not. </strong></span><br />

<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Last week we picked something simple from our list to help us connect to our far away family. I chose a phone call, and boy was I glad. My 3-year old nieces voice was such a sweet little sound! I wish I could put her voice in a seashell and wear it around my neck like Ariel in <em>The Little Mermaid.</em> I was just thrilled to have talked to her on the phone and am ready to keep our connection alive. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New;">This week I am working on putting a photo album together to send to Little Miss Precious niece #1. That way she can look at photos of my family whenever she likes. I found a cute pink photo book at Target for just 1.00 and I will print some photos out at the kiosk at HEB to put in it. Total project including shipping will cost less than $10. I could send her digital format, but I want to give her something tangible. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New;">With Easter approaching, next week's project will be a little more grandiose.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New;">Happy Crafting Y'all. Please share how you connected with your family this week. If you'd like to send a confidential e-mail, my address is <a href="mailto:crafthumanity@yahoo.com">crafthumanity@yahoo.com</a></span></strong><br />

<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New;">Today, 3/5/12, I will be ordering a hand-drawn bluebonnet card from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ArchitetteStudios?ref=seller_info" target="_blank">Architette Studios</a>. It has been on my favorites for awhile, and I plan to frame it for my daughter's room. Please check out her shop when you get a chance. Her drawings are amazing and unique! </span></strong><br />

<br />
The lovely blog <a href="http://www.iheartorganizing.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">i heart organizing</a> is hosting a project pretty link party. Being my birthday weekend (yes a whole weekend of fun) and pre-planning for that, I didn't have much time to gussy up some goods. But i did manage to paint some jars for my newly renovated craft area.<br />

For each paper crane sent in, $1 was donated. They wanted to raise $200,000. When all was said and done over 2 MILLION paper cranes were sent in . We sent the 4 pictured here:</span><br />

It is an amazing amount a cranes! They will also be giving gift boxes filled with paper cranes to the children of Japan as a symbol of hope. </span><br />

<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">This is assignment #2 in our far away family project. Last week I suggested you make a list of things you would like to do with your family if you were able to be with them. My list is above. (I printed the awesome journaling page from <a href="http://www.sweetlyscrappedart.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sweetly Scrapped Art</a>)</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New;">This weeks assignment is to do one of those things on your list. Start with the easiest, because maybe you need to break the ice. Since my eldest neice is 3 and a talker from what I hear, I am going to find out when a good time to call would be and give her a call. If you have trouble making calls to family try writing down some prompts in case you run into an awkward silence, and write down things they tell you that you don't want to forget.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New;">Keep your list handy because we will be coming back to it later. Don't let that family slip away because you don't live close. Make those connections ASAP!</span></strong><br />
