    Thank you Kevin. I really am pumped about it now. Since my 12 hours sleep I've made a bracelet, 3 bookmarks a key fob and working on a second bracelet :) Haven't been this motivated in a while. My poor little table looked so bare compared to everyone else but it was GOOD stuff so I didn't mind. Next week will have a lot more but still good stuff. Doing up some of the faster things right now though, but plan to have a third guitar strap there too. And be hand sewing a saddlebag at the booth :) Can't keep paying them to let me sit there, LOL.

    LOL Cheryl, I'm working on a bracelet. I slept from 2:30 until 2AM so to wound up to sleep now. I'm not disappointed, just so happy I was able to make myself go. AND that next Saturday we're going to be in a place with heat. Thank you so much, everyone here was such a support. (Dogs are great for anxiety situations are they? I WANT people focused on her and me not so much :) Cheryl

    No I didn't set my clocks back, LOL. Thanks for that TOO.

    Well the craft show was interesting. I didn't realize there would be food too, thought it was all crafters. All that sold was food. I made $10.00 on a bracelet, and had two people take cards to call me about guitar straps. We were in a warehouse type building with no heat and all of us froze. I sold a 10.00 bracelet and that was $5.00 more than the other 2 crafters. That was enough to allow me to go back next week though where we're moving to a heated building. I came home, dumped my stuff, ate and slept for 12 hours. Guess the stress had been worse than even I knew. The people were all nice though and it would have been fun if I hadn't been freezing. Temp. had to be at least 35o in there, was a typical VT. day out, grey, windy but no rain thankfully. I was pretty disappointed while I was freezing but I'm ok now. One of the crafters wants a guitar strap for her Dad for Christmas too so we may do some bartering along with the price.

    I think my least favorite line now in the whole world is,'Your stuff is beautiful, as someone is walking away, LOL. Thank all of you for your support. I am kinda on top of cloud nine right now because I WENT. I think next Saturday on the main street right by merchants row should be better. At least we'll be warmer :-) The dog loved it and there's another service dog there so I sat in that booth for a while because they had a heater, she's the girl that wants a strap and the dogs nosed around each other and were happy for the company. he's a darling little sheltie, very 'work' like compared to my big galumph of a dog. But they provide different services, his owner is partially blind in one eye, and mine is my meeter and greeter intended to take some of the focus off of me. next week I'll take some SS with me to do at the booth in between customers so I don't get so anxious. WinterBear made me some display boards for my necklaces a long time ago and people liked those.

    Oh I forgot, I have a picture too. LOL. Knew I'd better get one to prove I went......I was still pricing things after help coming up with them from the other crafter who make paracord bracelets too among a bunch of neat wood things. She didn't get my straps in the picture, they were off to my left on an antiques slipper chair :-) It was a great experience NOW that I'm warm, fed and rested. Guess I'll post this in 'show off' too! I'm pretty glad about people taking my cards for the guitar straps and feel that at the very least I'll have one to do for the other crafter for Christmas.

    Bill you are so funny. I love throwing it up in the air, and I'm a huge Tyler Perry fan. Just walked in the door from taking everything but my products. I went to the store and got some paper tags, don't want sticky stuff on my things. I also bought some gel pens so I can mark my bison when it comes for a couple of your beautiful bags. I have display boards someone maid me and someone before me left two nails in a perfect place to hang them. I have an old vintage woven basket for my loose items and a Victorian slipper chair without a seat or back upholstery to hang my straps from. I am exhausted to feel good, and I know no matter what happens tomorrow it will be a learning experience for me. Thank you my friend. Cheryl

    Thanks you two. Actually Cheryl I'm feeling overwhelmed right now. I have my first craft show Saturday and don't know what to expect and feel like I haven't made enough products, and I have paperwork I still need to get done for tomorrow for a meeting on my business plan and grant, and finding things since the move that I need for the craft booth and getting them there, table, chair, displays, etc. It seems like everything is going really good but at the speed of light. I honestly just feel tired, grateful but tired. I could probably post something good that's going on in my life this last month everyday. But I wish I could just stop my head for a little while, I have lists within lists so I don't forget things, no matter how much I do I feel I could be doing more. I'm sure everyone feels like this once in a while, but I'll just be glad when it's Sunday and I have some of the things behind me and I can just take 15 minutes to figure out which way I want to go next. Besides bed, LOL.
