I've been working on things for the shop  (as I like to refer to my little 10 x 10 booth!)  and wanted to show you the corner cabinet I finished Thursday night... at 10 pm...outside on the porch...in the cold. Here's the almost before.... I say almost before because this is not how it looked when I bought it. It was brown....dark brown... and … [Read more...]

I know I normally cook on French Friday but with this being the first day of Spring Break  and 6 extra people in the house...it's NOT happening. { I need a LOT of prayer this week} So yesterday, I contacted Angela at  Parisienne Farmgirl Magazine  to arrange a FABULOUS French giveaway instead!

The staff embraces art and uses it in all it's forms in their ministry. We have more than one person who has experience in graphic arts  and some have … [Read more...]

Remember I showed you a picture of my new little booth....? YIKES Pretty bad right? I can't get in there until after April 1'st.....so Monday. Today my husband and I worked on a mock up in the garage so we could take it apart and reassemble it on site. No other way to do it, it's too far away to keep going up there.
