Happy New Year!

Hope all you out there who read and stay in touch will let me know you're reading this. I know I don't keep up very often, I'm going to try this new year.



We have had some news to catch you up on. I'll need to go back a bit and start in November.

Nov. 6th our daughter-in-law Nicole, graduated from nursing school with her RN! Lots of hard work and studying finally paid off. We went to Tampa along with Grand-ma and Aunt Margaret for the big day. Scott and Nicole also have become new home owners, they moved into thier two story house on Elm Street the end of July.



I was involved in a 2 day show the following weekend at the Westminster Academy in Ft. Lauderdale. They have been holding this craft show for over 30 years. I came home a bit dissappointed, so much hard work and not much in sales to show for it. I'm learning so much though.



We then had Thanksgiving to look forward to! We headed to SC on the Tues. before, drove thru the night and arrived at John and Donna's (Ken's brother and wife) EARLY Wed. morning. Had the pleasure of Bonnie bringing the kids over for the day to spend with us. We had a great visit with family.



December brought another opportunity for a second craft show, this time it was for Spanish River Church women's Christmas celebration. I went in with a whole different mind set, so I wasn't so dissappointed with the sales. It's not the best time for me to be starting this" Cottage Industry" as far as the economy, but it's exactly why I'm doing it. I feel I need to be using what God has given me to maybe earn a little income for our family. I also did a home show, another first. A dear friend invited me to bring my things to her home Bible Study group. Alot of fun, and another way to get my name and items out there. I think I'll publish this for now, there's more and some pictures too so please check back soon.
