Lunch Box Tin - First Attempt

WOW!!! I thought these would be harder than this. I was excited to try and make one of these. I have had the lunch box for 2 years and have been scared to try anything with it. Well, as luck would have it, I needed to make something special for Timmy's preschool teacher as she will be leaving the school this year to persue her teaching career at an elementary school. I knew she really liked lunch boxes and what a perfect gift.

I was surprised at how easily the whole thing came together. Just stuck some paper to the outside, added a little ribbon a few stickers and ta da... I had a gift. She loved it and was excited that I had also crafted some dividers and threw in some different cards of all occasions. I will be ordering some more of these.

What Have I Done Now?

I have decided to enter the Nike Women's Marathon in San Francisco. I will have 5 months of training and will be walking the Half Marathon. This will be 13.1 miles and I could not think of a better cause to walk for. I know a little girl that has been fighting for her life and given what she has had to endure, getting out there and walking seems so small.

This is the first time I have ever attempted to do this type of event, but the Team In Training group tells me that 5 months is all I need. I am so excited to be part of something so powerful and am excited to be on a healthier path myself.

Please take a look at my fundraising site and keep track of my progress towards my goals.
