Bring Your Doll to Tea!
What a fun time we all had!
The little girls were just ADORABLE in their fancy dresses. Some were even dressed like their dolls!
It was also a very busy day at the Museum. In addition to our Tea with the Curator, today was the last day of the 3x3 Science Samplers. AND we had a cub scout group here for a field trip. Plus our regular visitors. All of our parking lots were full!
Here are some pictures of the Tea!

Back to work!
I'm back to work after a few days off for the holidays! Chris and I went to New York to visit our families. Unfortunately our trip was cut short by one day due to lake effect snow. But we enjoyed the time we did have with those we love.
Today I've been getting ready for the big Tea with the Curator: Bring Your Doll to Tea tomorrow! We've got a full house, so I'm excited about that! We're making pins with flowers and gems as our craft. We'll have tea, read the story Fancy Nancy Goes to the Museum, then up to the Keller Gallery for a special scavenger hunt in the dollhouse exhibit! Should be a lot of fun.
I've also been busy with marketing projects today. I made a new calendar for the lobby -- it is unreal how many programs and events we have coming up in the next three months! (I will post that list next) I also designed a postcard for the quilt exhibit and a flyer for McKinley Day.
I'm about to make up the scavenger hunt clipboards. Then I'll see if I can help set up for tomorrow.
Busy time at the museum! We still have Christmas trees up, so come in and see us! We're closed New Year's Day, but we're open New Year's Eve and all weekend!

McKinley Day 2010
I know it's not until January, but plans for McKinley Day are underway!
Please plan to join us on Saturday January 30, 2010 as we celebrate the President's birthday with a day full of family-friendly programs and activities.
Here are some more highlights from years past:
Getting ready for the next Tea!
Today I'm getting ready for the SOLD OUT Tea with the Curator: "Bring Your Doll to Tea" on December 30!
We are going to be making fancy pins as our craft, so I am making up packets of supplies for the kids. I purchased fancy gems, and we have several small flowers to use as well. The pins are either oval shaped, or shaped like a teapot!
We're going to be reading the story Fancy Nancy Goes to the Museum. Afterwards we are going to tour the Keller Gallery dollhouse exhibit Life in Miniature! I will show them some of my favorites, and then we'll work on a special Scavenger Hunt I designed yesterday just for this Tea!
Science Director Lynnette Reiner is also doing 3x3 Science Camps that week -- the first two dates are filled, but there are still 2 slots open on December 30 for "Gross Science." Call the museum at 330-455-7043 to reserve a spot!

My kitty
UPDATE: We had to have Brandy put to sleep last Thursday. It has been the most painful and difficult experience of my life, and we feel her absence in a million ways every day. She was one of a kind, and there will never be another cat like her.
"It is a fearful thing to love what death can touch." (Anonymous)
Yesterday I found out that my sweet precious Brandy has cancer.
It was a terrible shock, even though we knew she had been losing weight. But we only noticed it about a week ago.
She only has a few weeks to live, and we are just devastated. She has been the most well-behaved, fun, loving, sweet kitty I have ever met in my entire life. There is only ONE of her, and I am going to miss her so much.
Even though it's Christmastime, my heart isn't really in it anymore. We've canceled our trip to New York to spend Christmas with our families, because we just can't leave Brandy alone.
The Museum had a wonderful Holiday Open House, and since we didn't know then what we know now, Chris and I had a great time.
I am struggling to come to terms with everything that is happening, and trying not to drown in my sadness.
I continue to do my best in my job, but everything is a bit sluggish for the time being. Brandy is all I can think about.
I want anyone who reads this who has a pet to go and hug him or her right now. Overlook a few things and don't yell at them. Pet them, love them, and make sure they know how much you care about them. And I hope you never have to hear the news we heard yesterday. Ever.
