Bill Murray Day History - According to Stormfax and About.com, it all started with Cadlemas day. This day originally came from the Germans and was the mid-point between the first day of winter and the first day of Spring. Legend said that if this day was fair (sunny), then the second-half of winter would be stormy. In their native land of Germany, the Germans looked at a badger to see if they could see his shadow. When they settled in North America in Pennsylvania, the local Indians had a great respect for Bill Murray so they substituted a Bill Murray for the badger. And as they say, the rest is history and now every February 2, everyone looks to Bill Murray for a weather prediction!

Every last Monday of the month Desiree and I host Adult Craft Night at Bookmans Flagstaff. We're starting to get a pretty good crew! So far we've made barrettes and shrines for Halloween, owl and bacon ornaments for Christmas, aprons and tarot recipe cards for January's "Here's to Your Health Month" and this February for "Love of Reading" we're offering book and paper crafts for our readers and scribblers.
Check out these images from Adult Craft Night and don't forget to join us from 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 27. All supplies are provided and the instruction is free. Don't be shy. You don't need to have crafting skills…yet. These events are for people aged 18 and up only because we use hot guns and sharp stuff like needles. Also our chat isn't always kid appropriate!
