Jeanne-I don't get homicidal but I get sicker when I lose sleep. Also, when I'm in the don't sleep cycle I skip taking my meds because I can't remember if it's day or night. sounds dumb...
Missy-I would do 10 of each. What about quilted bookmarks? Just cut a 1 inch strip, put batting and backing, sew around the edges, turn inside out, and quilt. I'd sell these for $1 and make about 50. Different prices are very important! Walmart panel quilts, already quilted pieces with you adding the binding for $30, maybe 3 or 4, unless you have friends with babies that you can gift them at Christmas, etc.
I saw the cutest Christmas ornaments posted here. 2 yoyos with a sucker stick between them, a fancy button on front, and cellophane with ribbon. Another easy-peasy.

Xylie-add me to your prayer list, My right leg is acting weird,
Jeanne...When I start to become symptomatic it is a very scary place for me. I hear voices that tell me to do things that are harmful. I also see what I call the dark angels. They are 7 ft tall and are mean and evil. Their goal is to to make me kill myself. Same with the voices. Sometimes I see people that are either not alive anymore or are in prison telling me to do things. So, because of this, at the very first sign of trouble I let the IMPACT team (the folks that I see everyday) know I am having symptoms and they either get me in to see the psychiatrist or the talk to my mom and let her know I need to be back in the hospital. I hate it but it is part of my illness (for those that do not know I have schizophrenia). So I deal with it and take my meds.
MJ - I LOVE the bookmark idea and also the yo-yos! Both are so adorable. Do you have a picture of one of the bookmarks? I would love to see what they look like. I think it is interesting that you showed me the yo-yo thingys cause I just bought about 400 yo-yos off of ebay. I cannot wait until I can start putting those together! Those will be so much fun and so easy to do! Thank you for telling me about them!
I hope all is well today! I am doing well and hoping that my Monday case manager (with the IMPACT team) has her baby in the next day or so. She is humongous right now and is not due until the 19th but she is miserable. So, pop that baby out Stephanie! LOL!
