Mark My Words

One of the most exciting things that happened this summer was doing my first craft show. I've started a small business making and selling custom bookmarks and called it Mark My Words. Get it? Well I secured a space at the Giant Craft Show in Ocean Grove on the 5th and Didi and I setup shop. It was sooo much fun! We set up the displays and waited for folks to stop by. The best part was watching them mouth the words of the sign and then looking at the bookmarks and quietly saying, "Oh. Mark My Words." with a smile, like they finally got it. We did pretty well for the first time, considering I wasn't sure I'd sell any at all. I really enjoy making them and thank God for showing me another way to use what He has given me.

More Summer Fun

This summer has absolutely flown by. We did have some memorable times, though. The summer ended with many birthdays. Happy Birthday Didi! Happy Birthday Junior! Happy Birthday Cari! Russ took me to the Renaissance Fair which I had never been to but always wanted to go. Thanks honey! We had a blast! It was big and they had so many things to do. Plays, jousts, music, great food and grog, shopping and more! Garrett got ready for school which started the 3rd and was trying on some clothes. He found the shirt he wore for his first day of school in Kindergarten! You might say it was a bit small. :-) Enjoy!

Great Vacation

Summer time is coming to a close but we had a really nice vacation down in Ocean Grove. One week of relaxing was just the medicine I needed. Finishing up VBS at church the night before leaving, was a stressful but all went well. We stayed with friends at a house about a block and a half from the beach. I loved waking up and getting outside to smell and feel the sea breeze. Mmm... I'm thankful for a memorable time.
