Here's to a crafty beginning!

Tonight, I raise my hot cocoa mug to toast to the new beginning of something Valerie and I have been working, planning and dreaming about for sometime now. 

  

WOW!  This is exciting...I posted my thoughts on this new little venture that we've been dreaming so BIG about :) here.  It's pretty wonderful to seen our creative vision and all our brainstorming coming to life. Basically, Got Crafts? is our little corner of the web where we'll offer classes, downloadable projects, inspiration, kits and of course freebies too!  Valerie and I continually inspire each other and it's been a pleasure working with someone who shares and fuels your passion...very much a blessing!  We also have the help of a very important lady, we call her our RIGHT HAND GAL!  Lynn!!!  If you've been in our classes, you've probably already met Lynn, we couldn't do it without her! 

I had the pleasure tonight of meeting a very sweet lady, Marolyn, at Hobby Lobby.  She had been in the Got Sketch class and I'm so glad she stopped and we chatted.  I felt like I knew her already!  Isn't that so neat?!  I had to make a run to get some supplies for an up-coming downloadable class that will be making an appearance on Got Crafts? later this week (shhh!) and I bought myself a new Slice cartridge (with a 40% off coupon of course ;) with Christmas money from my Father-in Law! YAY!!  I took the rest and bought new boots!!  I was like a kid in a candy store!!  I was so excited about my new shoes I wore them out of the store!  The sales lady was just giggling at me...she could see how happy I was...OMGoodness!! I'm in heaven! 

So, the day draws to an end...I'm feeling so very blessed right now.  For my healthy family, for new beginnings, my new boots, my husband's endless patience, a beautiful NEW handknitted scarf I got in the mail (YES!!! THANK YOU TERESA...its the most wonderful, fabulous, softest and warmest scarf EVER!!!), for friends, for all the blessings I've been graced with...I'm even thankful for life's little ups and downs...because if everything was perfect, we wouldn't realize just what the good stuff in life is, would we?  

Merry Christmas to you and yours!  xoxo jw
