Best wishes!

Print available for $47.00.

I was happy to read that Obama is calling for Monday January 19 to be a national day of service, in addition to Martin Luther King Jr. Day.  You can read a brief article about his call to service here.

I am interested to see if he will use the energy and excitement of the millions of people backing him to mobilize us to do things to help our country, and it seems like he will.  Even though I work that day, I am going to try to do a little something by donating books to the local Head Start Program, which is a day of service idea I found listed here.  There is also this MLKDAY website with thousands of ways to get involved in some project in your area.

My mom also sent me a link to Seth Godin’s blog with a list of 18 of his own ideas.  (Thanks mom!)

Let’s do something positive to kick off the new Obama administration!

Yum! Check their store for more candy wreaths!

Etsy Wreaths

# 4 Light of Stars and # 8 Wreath of Knowledge are great looking are paper wreaths from Haru in Albuquerque for $85. Lastly, # 6 is called Les Citrons for $120 by Fantasy of Flowers.

It is hard to decide which one(s) to get, isn’t it?
