“Facebookers” is that even a word? I probably made it up. Chris likes to make up words. He is rubbing off on me. Since I have a blog it is nice to use it for things more important that craft projects from time to time. So I wanted to briefly mention two things going on in Tulsa for you local readers:
1. Kohl’s Cares is donating $500,000 dollars to 20 winning schools. The Tulsa school The Little Light House is in the running. The Little Light House focuses on improving the quality of life for children with special needs and empowering their families and community. If you are on Facebook you can cast a vote for The Little Light House. I am not on facebook, so I am not sure exactly all the details, but here is a link to the voting.
2. For you local artists/crafters/etsy sellers The Holiday Market is a local crafter’s fair set up. They are looking to spice things up with more originality and creative goodness this year. Why do I want to support a crafter’s fair….admission proceeds go towards Clean Slate! The event takes place on Nov. 6th 9am-4pm. If you are interested in being a vendor contact Bridget at {BrockBr at tulsaschools dot org}

amanda torres - Facebooker’s is definitely a word. It means “one who facebook’s”. I’m pretty sure it’s in Webster’s.
kelley - I would pack a camera (at least 1) for the kids to use, and a notebook, for them to “journal” about their trip. Also, I always ask my kids questions (what is your favorite…) and write down their answers. Pipe cleaners, tape, glue stick, old magazines to let them make collages in their notebook. We always play I spy when trying to take up time. I would also take a couple of manilla envelopes and fill it with brochures, ticket stubs etc from your vaction, then on the trip home they could put that in their notebooks to have a souvenir of their trip. Good luck!!!
Kelly - I am not on facebook either.
Glad to know someone else who’s not. Wish the voting wasn’t only on facebook. Kelly
