Hello There!

Early this week I had the pleasure of escorting a couple of our Elders to a Native Elder/Youth Conference, there was some great key note speakers and I found it very informative and loved the workshops. Cook Inlet Tribal Council has been collaborating with a E-Line Media in Seattle to make a video game "Never Alone" See the preview on YouTube here I was pretty excited about it!

Alaska is getting chilly now the last couple of day were in the 20's early in the morning, but today's morning temp was only 17 degree's we are expecting snow again by the latter part of the week and I suppose it will stick around

Okay that's enough chit chat so on to my card, Come And Get It Challenge is being sponsored by the fabulous Lacy Sunshine & Oak Pond Creations, so come join us for our recipe challenge this week using Designer Paper, Die cuts, Ribbon and Bling
