I want to get my friends involved and create this book about them, to them, for them. I plan involving each of my friends getting them to write about a childhood best friend, current best friend, and lost friends.
I want to to write about supporting , fighting, arguing, and loving one another. I want to learn what they value most about friendship, what they hate about friendships, and what they would like to change about their friendships.
I’m going to request different things from different friends, at different parts of the year. Stories about Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentines, New Years, stories of boyfriends, parents, families, and siblings.
I came up with the idea 10 minutes ago and decided i needed to write it down immediately and start formating a list of to do things to get it done. So that will be where i start.
1. List of Friend
2. List of requested stories,
3. List of requested values
4. List of lists to continue making.
Yes I know that there are hundreds of books out there about friendships, but this will be unique as it will be their stories, their values and their words.

I haven’t gotten to this one yet but I have been sewing. In fact I sewed a disillusions costume for Hangman’s Haunted House. It was a jumper that we added white squares to. The actors are in a room painted with black and white squares, flashing strobes, and angled walls and floors. The are practically invisible especially sense most people are watching the floor to see where to step next and not watching in front of them.
I have also been working in the actors area with costume fixing them when the come back torn. And this week I created sashes for the pirates.
I need to practice sewing straighter lines and understanding what stiches to use better but I’m started and will continue working towards this one.

I love volunteering and the people are great. Crystal is the girl I work with the most right now. She is great and very supportive. A little over worried about hurting my feeling.as she is in a very clickish (sp) group. But there is also an age difference and responsibility difference. None of them have kids, or other responsibilities the next day. A lot of the other women who do work in other area’s or are stay at home mom’s. But I’m loving what I’m doing and enjoy the work. I helped make the disorientation costumes, I’ve repaired countless costumes that have been returned torn or broken. Help develope costumes for extra actors as when we have too many.
I’m now over 100 hours of volunteer time and plan on working the house through the clean-up weekend. should be fun.
