I just love your story of the $100 bill! Thank you for another great post! So this year I had a bunch of gourds drying in my shed for I dunno the last 4-5 years. I decided this was the year I was going to do something with them. I painted and decorated my gourds for Christmas. I made angels, elves, santas, reindeer, bears, dogs, mice, Mrs Claus, luminaries. Each had fairy lights to make them extra special. The dollar store was amazing. I must have made 10 trips!! Anyways, I made 25 gourds for the girls I work with. On Monday I set them up on each of their desks, lit them up so that when they got to their desks they would have this wonderful painted/carved/lighted gourd to greet them. Made for a fun Monday morning because each one was unique and made specifically for each girl. I found your youtube channel last winter (binge watched em all) and have been so inspired by your stories and your creativity!!! Thank you!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
