Newsletter, February, 2007
Join the mailing list to receive future issues.

Winter has arrived here; the deep freeze. It is -25 and snowing. I live on a lake and this weekend, our community has the "Polar Plunge". A big hole is opened in a shallow part of the lake. People dress up in crazy costumes and jump in to raise money for their favourite charity. I have never done this and I am sure I never will but there are people who do this every year and every year there are new people who give it a try.

If you have subscribed but haven't been receiving your Newsletter or weekly updates, please be sure to add karensvariety@personainternet.com to your email list.

Tip

This is a tip I use. I make my own napkin rings from wide ribbon with wire edging. Using my glue gun, I attach a fabric or plastic decoration; holly for Christmas, flowers for spring and summer deck dinners, fall coloured leaves for Thanksgiving. I never have to worry about having enough matching napkin rings and they always match the occasion or my table setting. Very easy to make and they always receive a compliment.
Just A Joke
A student was trying hard to make a good impression in her English class. When the professor asked: "What book would you choose if you could have only one?", she hesitated and then replied, "A checkbook".
