This seems pretty weird, even to me. Yesterday I started this blog. No one yet knows about it yet. This morning I received a call from the past president of my local garden club. She asked me if I would do a small demonstration at the club's Christmas party next month—would I make up a centre piece that would then be raffled off. I don't claim to have any special talents in my garden club with floral arranging so my first response was, "Why me?"
As she was explaining how my name came up, I was already forming the words to say no. Just to be polite, however, I first asked what was involved. She proceeded to tell me how she wanted people to think about being more innovative—to look into their closets, their garage, and basements and find new ways of putting old things to use. She explained how last year she made a wreath of wine glasses purchased at the local Sally Ann. I can't say that I can imagine what it looked like, but apparently it was a big hit. I was hooked.
What intrigues me is is the way her request came to me less than 24 hours after my Junk into Gems blog was born. Is the passion I feel for my subject so strong that by putting it out in cyberspace, ideas and thoughts are being transmitted without even making a direct connection via the internet?? Mmmmmh, no time to ponder that now. I have to get busy thinking up something weird and wonderful for the garden club party.
