Close to Christmas

I’m a crafter, I love to make gifts which all my family knows, much to their chagrin. Every year I make at least one gift for one person, not all of them so well received. So the year I announced I made gifts for everyone, there was a palpable gasp in the air!

Little did they know I had been working on patterns for a company that would become known as Foldin’ Money. My favorite design is and was the Tree! So that year they all got $25 Trees all decorated up for the holidays! No one returned them or complained about them at all, all smiling faces! What a great feeling and I had fun to boot! See the website Foldin' Money

Ode to Father’s Day

Ever wonder how Father’s Day came to be? Here’s an article I found and the link to that website. Remember, your Dad has enough stuff, honor him this year by giving him a Foldin’ Money Tie or Shirt. Recyclable and Spendable! He’ll LOVE it!!

Father's Day is celebrated popularly on 3rd Sunday in June in many parts of the world. The idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909. Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a courageous, selfless, and loving man. Sonora's father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.

In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. President Nixon, in 1972, established a permanent national observance of Father's Day to be held on the third Sunday of June. So Father's Day was born as a token of love and gratitude that a daughter cherishes for her beloved father. Roses are the Father's Day flowers: red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died.

Happy Shopping!

But who needs more stuff?

If you go to this link, it will tell you the homemade gifts are the best, and they truly are, we agree. However, don't most of us have enough stuff? Gidgets and gadgets are fine, but I think most of us could use more Foldin' Money, don't you? I know this is a little commerical on my part, but I do believe in my product and feel the world would be a better place if more money was spread around! With Foldin' Money design kits, the gift is homemade, but you can use it right away, not store it away in a closet and only pull it out when Aunt Millie comes to visit! Anyway, try Foldin' Money for all your gift giving this holiday and see if it doesn't make your holiday season a little less hectic and a whole lot more fun!
