Sauder Rug Show - 2011

Because life happens I'm a little late getting my photos of the Sauder Rug Show on the blog.  Many of you have probably already seen photos of this year's fantastic show, but I'll add mine to the mix. 

Another great year of fun, talent, and meeting of friends.  Thanks again to Kathy Wright, her team, and all those at Sauder who work so hard to organzie and put on this great show. 

It's still one of the highlights of my year.  If you've not been, get it on your calendar for next year, August 14-18, 2012.  And enter your rugs, the more the better!

Thank You

I wanted to take a moment and thank all of you for your continued thoughts and prayers for my youngest daughter, Megan.  She is now home and is doing well.

I just returned from a great week at Sauder, I will have pictures posted soon!

Family

Once again, I don't normally post about my personal life, but my youngest daughter, Megan was involved in a serious automobile accident on Sunday, August 7.

I just ask for your prayers for her and our family.

A New Adventure

This month I took on a new project (I know, as if I need something else).  I'm renting a small space in a shop in Tipp City called Past Perfect.

It's mostly antiques and collectibles, but I hope to eventually add supplies and finished goods.  Mike, Jean and the others do a great job with display and repurposing all kinds of "stuff."

Tipp City is a great place to spend the day shopping, so if you come that way be sure to stop in.
