26 years and counting .... It has been 26 years since we got trapped in that race of the rats in the maze, to supply to our children family and co-workers ..gifts ....that they soon tire of ...coffee mugs , cologne , and the stray gift of no actual description ....( what the heck is that thing ? ) we do however Ring the Bell for the Army of Salvation ...which they actually are to so many these days ...give the gift that keeps on giving ...give of yourself your time your life ...okee ?

26 years! That I think is terrific.

I've just been trying to find out local Ypsi artists on the arts and crafts site Etsy. I see a few there...it's not a straightforward search, though.

I'm just weary to think of gifts I pick from farther-flung locales being shipped all over and burning up petroleum. I don't want to do that.

And, if you must buy something, try to buy from a locally owned and operated business. You can download a list of local vendors and gift ideas here: http://ypsi.buylocalmichigan.com/download/download.aspx

That's a great program and brochure, Mark. Thank you for making it. I got some good ideas from it.
