apparently I began to believe September was interminable

But it ends today--and my FABULOUS just squeaks in to be an official "September Fabulous."

People, meet Kathy. Kathy? Meet the people here. They're a fun group, encouraging and thoughtful. Kathy is a powerhouse of a woman. She's fighting health problems with admirable gumption and educating herself about holistic treatments. Her family is one of those Hallmark Card families--good-looking, successful people who gather together for regular love-fests of shiny smiles and genuine laughter. Seriously, I wish I'd married into Kathy's family. They look like a ton of fun. A brand-new grandma (Oh! The! Long! Wait!) of baby Graham, Kathy is one of those craftacular people who fills me with awe at her awesomeness. Check out some of her work:

a throw pillow I covet

coasters I covet

a bottle of wine I covet. KIDDING! It's 8:30 in the morning. A gift bag for wine I covet. The gift bag, not the bottle of wine. (Not until noon anyway.)

Kathy makes clever things and sells them at Four Dog Day, her Etsy shop. Go check it out--pillows, totes, pins and coasters. Her work is FABULOUS. She also opened up a vintage shop online where she stocks all kinds of beautiful and funky items. Her eye is good.

Reader, for a September FABULOUS, head over to Four Dog Day and pick your favorite item. I'll pick one lucky winner next Wednesday (so you get a whole week to decide) and your pick will get sent to your mailbox. Every comment in the comment box from today until next Tuesday is an entry to win. Four Dog Day FABULOUS, people. It's craftacular!
