Of Ravenz and Headbandz

I have been making feathered and glitzed headbands for Josh to give away to the Ravens' (football) fans that he knows.  Apparently they have been a big hit since neighbors who have never said a work to me in the 30 years I've lived in the neighborhood have been asking me when they will be getting their free stuff.  Pfui.

Anyhow, I am Ravened out but they are playing in the Superbowl so I decided to really glitz up a new headband for the Greatest Neighbor in the World who just lost her mother.  So I bought some more purple and gold decorations and ribbons... Joann's had 70 and 90% off their Christmas stuff and sat down to create.  Pfui twoey.  So instead, I carried box o'purple stuff next door and Becky.. the greatest neighbor in the world... and I sat and made headbands.  Ok... Becky made most of the headbands and they are sooo much better than mine.  I made 2 while she made five or six.  She made herself one and the others were going with Josh to work to hand out there.  Josh and Becky's son both work at the same bar/restaurant.  I didn't slack off entirely on Saturday, I did make two headbands BUT I made a couple of bracelets for Becky.  She was having such a good time, it was fun just watching her have fun.  Sometime during that session her son came home said he wanted to make headbands but couldn't that day.  His days off are Monday and Tuesday so box o'purple stuff went back next door and he and his girlfriend made stuff.  In fact, Josh even made himself a headband when he went over there yesterday after work.

I know.... headbands for a guy?  Well Josh came home on that Sunday wearing a headband... in fact the one I had made that I thought was too masculine looking.  So now everyone at Daniels has a feathered beribboned glitzied head band, men and women alike.  I could have probably made a fortune if I sold these things. 

Still the big box o'purple stuff isn't emptied.  I feel as if I'll be dragging around all that purple stuff for the rest of my life. 

It is really amazing how something as simple as feathers and ribbon glued to a dollar store headband (3 for $1 at dollar tree) makes so many people happy.  I'm happy to pass on the headband torch.  There is only so much purple one person can stand.

BTW  Go Ravens!  (I'm not a football fan but it seems my world is.)
