I'm so Excited!

May 30th I am beginning my first e-course done by Kelly Rae Roberts. The course is going to be full of information to make your business grow. I am looking toward retirement to be able to do what I want to do and I think I have what I am looking for. My husband and I have been in antiques for 20 years and I love the small things that get left in the bottom of the drawers when you clean out an old dresser or little treasures that you find in dresser bowls or in the bottom of boxes in your bottom drawer. You know, the little trinkets that a penny or nickel would buy with a piece of gum. All the little things in life that mean so much for the moment as they are held in your hand or put in your pocket and then washed. All the little things that we remember having but don't remember what happened to them. These are the things that I like to collect and I want to do something with them. I want to be able to share them with others. I have to because I can't do something with everything I have and I want them to have another life.

So I am hoping through this wonderful class that Kelley Rae is offering I can find a way to share my ideas and love of these little things.

This is going to be such a wonderful way to take a class. You can pick a quiet time to read and absorb the material and yet have plenty of time to ask questions and then read everyone else's questions too.

Class is still open but it starts May 30th so hurry if you are interested. Go to www.kellyraeroberts.com and look under e-courses. Kelly Rae is great!

And I am starting to gather and pack for The Art Nest in June. It will be here in no time. My daughter and I will be driving from Texas to Utah. I think the trip will be so fun too. I will take lots of pics to show everyone what we did.

Until another time...

Another Month is gone.

Here we are in May already. I am just about done with my job and will be fully retired soon...yea!!! I have a busy summer planned. Next month my daughter and I are going to Utah for the Art Retreat with Julie and Candice. I am so excited about taking a class with Ruth Rae and Stephanie Lee and working with my sewing machine again. I made all my daughter's clothes before she started school but that was almost 35 years ago. WOW! I can't believe it. Then I helped my girls sew when they were in Blue Birds and home economics classes in jr high school. Hand sewing has been my passion more than anything over the years. I love to quilt, embroidery, cross-stitch, anything with a needle and in my lap but I have also missed the machine. I have a feeling a new machine is in my future, ha. I hope to have pictures of the class when I get back to put on my site.

July we are on our way to travel the East Coast. I want to go to Maine and eat lobster, New York and see Niagra Falls and everywhere in between. So I will have lots of pictures to share with everyone when I get back.

It has been so nice to spend time in my home, cleaning, organizing, and going through lots of things I have collected along my pathway. I still have boxes from 5 years ago when I cleaned out my father's home to go through. But now I have all the time I want to do what I want. Enjoy whatever you are planning for your summer and please come back and see me. I want to tell you everything.
