Me and the family

 

Thought you all would like to see me and my family- of course I 'happen' to be wearing a pair of my handpainted jeans and one of my necklaces.....not really I had just come from a show and I always wear my own stuff to shows.

Back from the marathon!

Ran the Chicago Marathon this weekend. Wow what an experience. I've run a smaller marathon and I have to say- there is nothing like a big city event. I believe I smiled for all 26.2 miles.
Now it's back to reality. Sigh...but not really, I had put so many things on hold for 'after the marathon' that it's nice to have it behind me. Now it's time for craft shows and product making.
Sold three more necklaces and here is the email I got from the customer:

"Great--this is perfect because my next sister's birthday is in a couple of weeks. I'll send you a photo of the four of us in the necklaces. We LOVE em!!"

Feedback like that is always nice to hear!

So my count is now......165 to go???

Almost a week later and it's still raining.

I was coming to blog about my wonderful news- two necklaces's sold! That makes only 198 to go! And while I am thrilled to be moving forward in my quest to 200 sold, there is really nothing more I can talk about but the rain. It's raining here in Atlanta, it's pouring and honestly I wish I was snoring.
I've seen rainy weather before. But never in my life have I seen anything like this. It has been pouring, thundering and storming for days on end here. Schools are closed, houses are flooding and unfortunately people are getting hurt.
Driving to pick up my children from school I had to take the roads at 5 miles an hour to make sure my mini van made it through the puddles. I live 1/4 a mile from the school!

This rain has us house bound, it has us tired and it has us all feeling blue.

Here I am trying to train for a marathon, create art for a craft fair and get my children ready for their sports. But really here I am watching everything literally wash away.
