Hyde Park & Other Fun Things

So, last weekend I had the opportunity to participate with a group of
other lady artists, like myself, at an event called "Hyde Park Street Fair."
It started on Friday and went through Sunday at Hyde Park in Boise.
I had never been before, so I was looking forward to the exposure
and the experience. We were by far one of the biggest booths there!
Our space was 24 feet by 48 feet!

I always tend to stress out last minute with these kinds of things -
scrambling to get my stuff "ready" and always feeling like I could
have created one-last-thing...

Needless to say- the hard work paid off (literally-ha!) and it was a
great weekend not only financially but socially as well. I love the
networking that comes with being a part of a group of creative
individuals and seeing what inspires them - and the gifts God
has given them that are so different from mine.

I also must give MAJOR kudos to my husband who allows me to
do these crazy ventures - and whether or not he knows it, is
allowing me to fuel my creative fire by participating but that is
only because of his support. Otherwise there is NO WAY I could
possibly do any event! Can you imagine me carting around my
two monkeys to one of these things? They would get tired and
antsy the moment we arrived... So thanks hubs! I love you!!

On a completely seperate note: my boys are LOVING preschool
this year! I am hardly surprised, as their teacher is SUCH a gift -
and has been blessing me with her ability to get my boys to
learn and mature into such wonderful young men.

So on Tuesday of this past week, the letter of the day was "b"
and so when I came to pick them up they had these rolled up
papers that were as tall as them with a life-size picture of
themselves.

Just too cute, so I had to share...

I can't believe how big they are! And learning so much each day.

Oh - and if you've made it this far.... We find out in 2 weeks!

And I hardly can stand it :)
