Getting My Name Out...

Well, last Saturday the 14th of November was a Holiday Craft Show at the school in Lima. I feel like everything turned out really great w/it! I ended up making $60.oo--which is good for such a small town. Lima only has about 3 or 4 hundred people in the town. Doing the craft show was a way for me to start getting my name out to let people know about all the fun things I make. I ended up selling some cards to Connie, a lady from the motel in Lima. She said she'll sell them at her gift shop in the motel. And, she wants me to make more all occasion western cards for her! I thought that was great! I had fun showing people that came by my cards. A few other things I made for the craft show were pen/pencil holders out of soup cans that I decorated, gift tags/cards, magnets, & notebooks. The notebooks were a hit that's for sure! If only I would've known that I could've gotten supplies to make more of them! I enjoyed doing the craft show & would like to do more eventually--to get my name out more.

Go & Find That Change!

This blog is supposed to help me w/my creativity in making cards, notebooks, scrapbooks, etc.. I think the title fits quite well for this, also. I need to 'go & find that change.' I came across an email from Lesley, my wombmate, that she sent me almost a year ago--it was April 14, 2009. She said, "So much change is about ready to come for you. Or it is more like you are going to it. You are going and finding that change!" Those words have really hit me so I felt like writing about them here on his creative blog of mine.



Change is not such a bad thing in life. Sometimes it just comes along--other times we go out and seek it--kinda like what my sister was referring to w/my move to Montana. I was embarking on a big change in my life. I had just gotten married to the love of my life the month before...and now, we(me, Dustin & Shane-our son) were moving 3 1/2 hrs away from family & living in the middle of nowhere for a new job. I would be a stay-at-home mom to Shane & that was something I'd never done before. I've always worked ever since forever.



Now a year later we are finding ourselves moving back to Idaho...and the feeling I get just knowing that is very calming. Moving back to where we're from--is comforting. It's also a change, but we will succeed in one way or another.



I have learned that change happens no matter what. We just have to learn how to handle it and figure out how to embrace it. As my sis said, we need to go out & find that change!



I hope all these changes in my life will influence me for the better so I can be the best person I possibly can. Change is good--that's what I keep telling myself. And, all these changes will help me in my creativity w/my card making & scrapbooking projects. Change brings about more change which in turn helps my creativity flow more into projects of my life & what matters to me or catches my interest.



So, let's all go out and find that change!
