Where has the time gone?

I can't believe how long its been since I last posted. In the time passed, I have done a craft show, buried my favorite Aunt, and had a house fire that has caused considerable damage.

Its that time of year when everyone is busy with craft shows, garden work, weddings, bar-b-ques, and just having fun. I have a few more craft shows lined up for this summer, and a wedding in June so things will be busy here.

The weather can't make up its mind if its wants to be spring or fall. One day its 82 and the next day its in the low 60's. How are my beautiful plants that I planted going to grow? They will be so confused and want to hide their heads in the dirt. Well I know that in a couple of days or weeks I will be complaining that its "so hot". a hot weather person I am not, and a cold weather person I am not. there is no happy medium for me.

So I had better go and get busy making some more beads so that I can make some jewelry to post on my website. Please have a look if you have a chance to see what I have on my website. Its www.wilmas-whimseys.com. I also make up special orders if you have a wedding coming up and need to have gifts for your attendants, or for any special occasion, just let me know I am happy to do it for you.

So till next time, which I hope will be a lot sooner, enjoy the beautiful weather.

Spring???

Mother nature has decided that even tho the calendar says spring, she is not done with winter yet! We had 6" of snow dumped on us this week. We are all hoping that was the last storm of the year, but time will tell.
I have been busy lately, not only with my day job, but also getting items ready for the craft shows that are coming up. My first one is next month in my City of Crystal. Its on May 3rd and 4th. I am looking forward to it and all the up and coming ones! I will l let you know when I will be doing a show again.
Funny how when it comes time for a craft show my house becomes a sea of beads, findings and all the trimmings I add to what I make. I love doing this craft, it really soothes the nerves! I have been blessed to have many online friends who are always willing to share knowledge and ideas to me to help me and my business grow.
I am a member of the MN Etsy Street Team and they have just started a challenge for us! The challenge is to do a random act of kindness and goodness. Something I participate in regularly in a forum I belong to. Boy does that make the heart feel good when you can do something to brighten someones day. Jenna from ArtisticEdit ion.etsy. com and TheCozyCorse tCuff.etsy. com
She is the one who came up with the challenge, oh if if you get a chance check out he shops. Really nice things in there. I have been thinking what I can do to join this challenge, hmm a rough one. I am sure something will come to mind. I did promise her that if she gave me a list of who is participating that I will put them in my blog for all to see who is participating.
I am going to try and get a little side show going of my Etsy store so that when you read my blog you can see what I do. But for now you can check out my Etsy store at http//:whimsey.etsy.com. Also you can check out my website at e www.wilmas-whimseys.com and,on ebay at whimseypaint. And I can't forget the Just Beads site whimsey.justbeads.com
Wow I sure have plastered my name all over here! I hope if you do check me out you find something you like!
So till next time, I am off to make more beads, and sure hope spring shows up at your house really soon.
