WOW!!! It has been a year plus since I have posted a blog. I guess that shows how boring my life really is. My only real excitement in life are my girls and my grandsons. To catch you up, I will fill you in on some of the last years happenings.
To start, Heidi and Brent blessed us with Grandson 4 on Sept. 25, 2007. He will be 1 year old in less than 2 weeks. He was born a week after my birthday. Such a beautiful boy and he has grown so much. He is a little heartbreaker and has the cutest big brown eyes I have ever seen. Jacob, Egan and Ben have grown so much in this past year also. Jake is in Kindergarten now and is loving it. Jake was in Little League this past summer and was so cute out on the field. He and Egan are now playing Soccer and are both enjoying it. Ben, I call Bruiser McGee, as he is built like a Mac Truck and can take out his older brothers, if need be, but has a a sweet disposition for the most part. I wouldn't want to get on Ben's bad side though. Grady is walking (for the most part) and is a cutie patootie. The boys are Nascar and Monster Truck fans and practically own every Nascar car and Monster truck that are sold. Heidi is pregnant again with number 5 grandchild and due in March of 2009. I am very excited about this and can't wait. We will not find out the sex until Baby gets here and I am fine with that. It really doesn't matter whether we get a boy or girl, because I know I will this baby as much as I love the others.
I am still beading for the most part. I did a show last September and sold nothing, but I did my second show this past May and actually made quite a bit of money selling my beadwork. I was told this was extremely good for being new to selling at shows. Especially since I am not known and haven't done a lot of them. I put my application in at the Chamber of Commerce and am waiting to see if I will get picked to sell at the Wellsboro Dicken's Festival this year. I am praying I can get in, as the income would help us out quite a bit. I will find out early October. I have my beadwork posted in 2 albums here on MySpace and hope you all check it out, as I am trying to sell here. I do realize the economy doesn't allow for frivolities, but I will tell you, that I get told all the time that my prices are too low. I do realize that, but at this point I am just trying to get my money back for what I spent on the beads and supplies to begin with and a bit more for me. I do not charge for my time at this point, but may in the future. I enjoy beading and do it to keep my sanity intact.
Now the big news. I met Kasey Kahne!!!! One of the people on my "Who I'd like to meet" list. He had a "Meet and Greet" at Gander Mountain at the Lycoming Mall on Sept. 11th. My sister Jody(my new hero) drove me down there and Mikki and her friend Kristen met us there. He is as cute and hot as he is on TV. Only more so in person. I was so excited and Jody and Mikki kept me grounded and I did all right for the most part. I had designed and beaded a keychain for Kasey and also designed and created an ornament for his mom, who he really appreciates. I thought I would freak when I had to give them to him, but I was very calm when I presented them. I told him about making him the keychain, but then I told him about the ornament for his mom, he looked up from signing my car and his (beautiful blue) eyes got a bit bigger, he smiled at me and then he thanked me. I know how much his mother means to him and I knew he would appreciate that. HE IS JUST SOOOO CUTE.....Anyway, I can now die a happy woman. He is not a stuck up famous person. He is a very down to earth person and seemed to be a bit nervous at meeting the public as we were about meeting him. What a sweetheart he is. That really made my day.
Well for now, I guess I will close I will try to update in my blog more often. I will be putting more pics of my beadwork up. I would like to sell as much as possible and hope you let your friends know. I have my jewelry pics listed for all to see and not set as private, so any help you give is appreciated.
For now, Bye!!!
