Subtle Verse

I had my first Pop-Up Shop this weekend.  It was so much fun!  I didn't realize how much I miss talking to people!  Lol.  It's always exciting to see who's my next customer!  We've lived in the same town for 17 years but the last 10 years or so I have been so busy traveling, etc.  So it's so exciting to visit with 'old' friends.  I've gotten to catch up with so many friends that I haven't seen for so long!  Then I love it when customers, who usually see me at art shows, come in!  My heart is so...

This weekend was one of the best weekends this year.  We just got done participating in Prairie Peddler.  I feel blessed beyond all measure.  God is good.  As everyone knows this year has been difficult to say the least.  Don't get me wrong, I have actually enjoyed being at home and we needed the rest.  I always thought if I had time I would be able to get so many things done.  I found out that is not true!  However, when you work so hard for something and actually love what you do then all of a sudden it's taken...
