I’m part of Soldiers Angels.

Soldiers Angels is a volunteer-led 501(c)(3) non-profit organization providing aid and comfort to the men and women of the United States Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and their families. With over 30 different projects and teams, Soldiers Angels help soldiers and families of soldiers in unique and highly effective ways.

I myself write to 2 angels and am part of the “Blankets for Hope” Group. I’ve finished several quilts for wounded soldiers.

I’d have to say that working on a quilt for a wounded soldiers is a definite hi-lite of each of my weeks. Not only is the act of helping another personally gratifying, but I know that all of my efforts are going directly to soldiers and their families.

Please take a moment to visit Soldiers Angels website. Signing up to write and send needed items to a soldier is easy.

Good afternoon all!

Let me introduce my friends (well it’s really me) “The Skirts”. The Skirts are a bit like a sorority, in the sense that we all come together to make this unique mess.  Me!

Almost Betty – Red Skirt. Almost Betty is my inner Betty Crocker. She’s basically bursting at the seams to bake, cook, fry, saute and generally be in the kitchen. This is the me that wears the apron.

Almost Martha – Green Skirt. Almost Martha is my inner Martha Stewart. She’s the green thumb, jack-of-all-trades, crafty gal who can do it all. At least I think I can

Almost Laura – Orange Skirt. Almost Laura is my inner Laura Ingalls Wilder. She’s my inner child, story teller, writer, thinker, player and the one with all the fun stuff.

Almost Jeanette – Brown Skirt. Almost Jeanette is my inner Jeannette Rankin. My inner politician, fighter, and “I want to help change the word” me. Military and Liberty!

Basically, that sums it up. I have ideas for other skirts, so we shall see what the future brings. For now, four is probably more than enough to unleash on all the innocents of mankind. Mixed in with all of these you’ll find flights of fancy and some hard-knock lessons.

Soon to come – Almost Fanny. She’s a rip-roarin good time!
