A Spiral Garden special I just have to share!

A gift subscription to Natural Life magazine is a great way to tell your friends and family that you care about them and the environment.

Our gift to you is a special holiday offer: Two subscriptions for the price of one.

Subscribe or renew for yourself and give one gift, or give two gifts (or any multiple of two) and save 50%.

But hurry: This offer is valid only until November 30, 2008.

Next weekend our family will be enjoying full days and nights at Yungaburra Folk Festival, which is under half an hour from our place. We’ve been to several festivals before, but this year we’re performing, volunteering and otherwise very involved.

Today I finally accepted Rhonda’s invitation to take part in the Simple, Green, Frugal Co-op blog. I’ve committed to one post per fortnight, and since I work well with deadlines this should get me in the habit of more prolific writing!

Rhonda describes the new blog as, “a co-operative of writers who have similar values to mine and who are working towards a simple, green and frugal future.” Stay tuned…

It seems to be time to start shopping and creating for Christmas. The wish lists have been compiled here and so the research and bargain-hunting begins. Some gifts I hope to delegate to the grandparents, so that they can purchase wished-for items rather than the latest plastic fad item from a department store. Other items we’ll buy for the children, and some wishes won’t be fulfilled or might be pushed forward to 2009’s birthday wish list…

Where, oh where did September go?
