I am such a sucker for cheap, free, give-a-way bags. Ugh must stop collecting. I am now trying to just take a picture and not take bags home with me. Here are a few that are super deluxe. I did not bring these home – the pictures will have to due.
16 seconds of silence
The other night 250 plus arts and culture fans came out for a Goddard for Governor rally at the Cattle Tracks in Scottsdale. It was great fun to see so many friends in one place. Terry Goddard was a great speaker and really got everyone excited. He opened his talk with a request that the crowd pause for 16 seconds of silence – LOL! I am looking forward to November – let’s get everyone we know to the polls.
What I read / What I’ll read
September is here and that means getting back to it for us Arizonians who hibernate all Summer. I had a great Summer this year. I read a ton and thought I should make some recommendations of my favorites. A big thanks to my friend Cindy at Changing Hands book store.

Hattie Big Sky by Kirby Larson, Waking Up in the Land of Glitter: A Crafty Chica Novel by Kathy Cano-Murillo, My Life in France by Julia Child and Mockingjay by Susan Collins.
