Remember to Breathe

I have to admit, right now, I am completely

STRESSED OUT!!!

I'm preparing my house for an Open House this weekend, while simutaneously trying to get ready for back-to-back weekends of Craft Shows (my firsts as an "artist").

I have to keep reminding myself that all of this equals blessings...

Open House = possibility to sell house.
Craft Shows = possibility to sell art!

This is not however, my first ever craft show. I did one about 8 years ago when I was making handmade cards. But this time, I feel a little more exposed. It's my art!!! Almost like my babies - and I'm putting them up for sale! What was I thinking? *smile*

Breathe in - breathe out. It will all be fine. This is all part of it, right? And I'm taking it all in. Getting some experience under my belt; learning and growing. And I'm meeting some amazing people in the process, which I hope to talk about more when things calm down!

Well, I better go. I have a lot to do!

Peace, Love, and Chocolate

  2. I'm right there with leslie . . . YOU CAN DO IT!!! I, too, am so very proud of you! What an absolutely exciting time for you . . . selling your art!!!!! That means this time next week, your art will be in someone else's home . . . sending inspiration and hope to a new friend. That is so thrilling to me, I am grinning from ear to ear! CONGRATULATIONS - and good luck! (I love how you displayed the cards in vintage bags in the photo above. SOOOO cool!) :)

  3. Thanks ladies! I need the encouragement!!! I have to admit though, that's not a pic from my booth - but an inspiration. I do plan to "borrow" the idea; I just bought a couple of vintage suit cases! :-)
