Meet My Friends...

There's not a lot of news here at home, same old thing, housework, housework, getting ready for a show in Oak Ridge, TN, more housework, yardwork, more housework ~ at least that's how it seems and I'm busy as a bee!

So, I'd like to take this "no news with me" opportunity to introduce you to a few of my friends. They have been such a blessing to me and are wonderful artists ~ they create from the heart and it shows in their work. If you visit their site or blog, please leave them a little note. Don't worry if you can't buy something at the time, just let them know you've been visiting and what you think of their handmade items. A kind word here and there really makes one's day, not only for the receiver, but for the giver as well.

  9. Hello, Lana, dear!! To my surprise you mentioned my site and blog. You are just the dearest girl! You know I mean that! Love the little bee, and like you, I am busy as a bee. Bill and I were just saying, "Where did the day go?" Hope to hear from you soon. Take good care.
