This is history…
You may not know this, but Obama Craft Project contributor Penny has been furiously making buttons for Obama volunteers and supporters in swing states. She’s made another wonderful pin, this one with a special twist, for a special person:
Somewhere in Durham NC, there’s a voter-registration dynamo named Louise. Louise is so tireless in her work that her kids are sometimes embarrassed–but Louise proclaims, “this is HISTORY! I don’t have time to be embarrassed!” This pin is for Louise.
Thank you Penny! And thank you, Louise!
Yes We Can!

Not too furiously
I actually make them with great excitement and mail them with pleasure, knowing they’re going to good people doing good work. It’s extra fun when I have a story like this to base a special design around.
Hey, what enthusiasm and it is contagious. Congrats to Louise and thank you Penny. And oh, “YES WE WIll”!!!
Mailed two more pins today–to Missouri (to a fellow OCP contributor, NancyinSTL) and to a friend elsewhere in CA (not a contested state, but she’s in a Red part of California and feeling the need for a pin). The barista at Starbucks today complimented my handmade Obama shirt (a second reverse-applique shirt, no photos yet). So I showed him the pins I was mailing–he thought they were pretty cool, too. I might have to make a “Baristas for Obama” pin and bring it by…. oh, and I had a request for a “Hockey Dad for Obama” pin too. So much fun!
And oh, “YES WE DID” !!!
