Packing packing packing

Ok... I really should post more, I've just been really busy with work then doing late nights packing and sorting (things to store and donate).

I did do something creative this morning though :) I run quite a bit and have accumulated a few numbers/medals/etc. so I decided to make a shadow box to organize it all in. 


My mom made one for my dad as well :) 

Also you may have noticed I have a thing for butterflies... Well my butterfly plants are doing really well! I planted them three months ago and look at them go! 


These are milkweeds I grew from seeds.
And my Blue Chip summer lilac.

And here's one of my favorite "butterfly" of all... Miranda.

I've also been working on a great project with the kids I nanny! The WWF (world wildlife fund) has symbolic adoptions where the money you donate goes to a certain species you choose to "adopt". The donation comes with a stuffed animal and a certificate with your name on it. Each child picked the animal they wanted to "adopt", and we've been having a lemonade stand around town each day trying to reach our desired donation amount ($50 for each animal). 



The kids have raised a little over fifty dollars so far and I'm so proud of them!! 

We all deserved some sushi after all that hard work ;) 




Ok... Gotta do some more packing. This move is going to be extremely interesting because I'm moving down for three weeks with just a suitcase because I can't move into my apartment until after my program starts... So I'm crashing at a friends for a bit. Should be fun :) 

Ciao ciao
