A friend has hooked me up with a shop in Texas who has agreed to take some of my items to sell. I have a good feeling about this and think this may open doors to other places. I have been going through my items and those that aren't listed in either online shop I am taking to her. I really don't know how much she wants so I am going with a lot and what she doesn't want I will bring home and list in my zibbet shop. I am taking some of my business cards as well. I figure it won't hurt and maybe someone who likes my stuff will place a custom order.
I just finished signing and laminating some photos that I am going to take too. I need to decide how much to charge for them. Hard to say really. I know what it costs me and the time to a certain extent but, not sure I should use that formula to price them. I will figure it out before Friday.
Plan on taking some of my cards. I need to make some Fall cards. Lots to do and think about before Friday.

More Rambling Thoughts
I am still working on my shop inventory. I have discovered I have some items I have not put in either of my shops. So, tomorrow will be spent shooting, tagging and listing them. Some of them will look great with your new Fall wardrobe. So check http://www.zibbet.com/2xblessed tomorrow to see what goodies I have listed.
As hot as it is here, it is hard to think about Fall being around the corner. With temps of 113 and higher, all I want to wear are shorts and tees. Of course in Louisiana, that could also be the case in the middle of Winter. Well, maybe not the 113 temps, but definitely shorts and tees. I have photos of my niece and nephews riding bikes Christmas day in shorts and tees.
I am hoping for a mild Winter. It costs a small fortune to heat my house even with me keeping the thermostat at around 67. I am hot nature so that is really not an issue. I turn it even lower at night when I am sleeping. I can't sleep if I am hot.
Heading to bed to read some. I am reading How To Pray When You Don't Know What To Pray . I think that is the title, if not I will correct it tomorrow. It has some good thoughts but there are a few that has made me go "huh?". I wish I could ask Bro. Wayne what he thinks about some of the ideas. I love Bro. Bill, but I am not as comfortable asking him questions. The couple of times I have asked, he really didn't have an answer. I don't know if he didn't really understand my question or if I didn't understand his answer.

Pretty In Pink Bracelet In My Shop

Inventory Oh Joy Joy!
I am slowly but surely going through each item I have made and listing it on my inventory document and attaching a tag with item # and price to each item to correspond with info on the document. I should have been doing this all along. Then it wouldn't be such a pain. I am doing this now because I am in hopes of putting some items in a shop in Texas (I live in Louisiana). I also am still hoping my friend will come out and take some to sell when his group (The Southern Plainsmen) is on the road. I know he is super busy trying to find 2 new singers. I need to nudge him again so he won't forget me.
It is still super hot and dry here even after the rain we had earlier in the week. It could rain day and night for several days before the ground and lake would get enough.
I am working on the mini cards for Sampler's Market. I want to finish them soon so I can concentrate on making some for my shop.
It's hard to believe this year is almost over. This has been a stressful year for me in so many ways. My nephew moved out and in with his girlfriend. They had a baby boy on May 12th. Layton Jordan weighed 10 #'s 8 oz. And ofcourse I think he is beautiful. I haven't got to see him lately and that saddens me. I love babies.
Having my closest friend die has really been hard on me. It still seems so unreal. I keep expecting her to send me a funny e mail. You know the kind that makes you laugh out loud even after you have send it on to someone else when you think about it. Or have her call and say "Pay Attention!" which she would do when she was about to deliver some news or ask a question that she really needed me to answer. We had so much fun as teenagers going to a movie or just running over to Natchitoches to eat at our favorite restaurant. Back when we were both able to get around without any problem we would got to Chinese restaurant that this great waitress. She knew us and even though she never wrote our orders down she always got them right. Not many like her anymore. That place is no longer a restaurant. But, we found another one that we frequented a lot. Mama, Effie, Evelyn and I went often until Mama could no longer get around. After she died, the three of us went a few times. I haven't been in a while. John and I would go sometimes when we needed to get out of the house before he and Angie met.
The last few years have dealt me some pretty hard blows but God has been with me through it all. I know that nothing that has happened is a surprise to Him even though I scratch my head and try to make sense of some of it. Guess when I get to Heaven it will all make sense and if not it won't matter anymore.
Psalm 118:24 This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
