Up to my ears ...

... in coasters.

Still.




And probably will be for a few more weeks. Sigh... I'm really glad that they were so popular, but I would like to make something else for a while.

After I have completed all the map coaster orders, I will be cutting back on "makin' stuff". I need to spend more time with the kids and my waistline could use a little attention, too.

Happy Birthday, Gage!

Gage,

You turned 13 at 1:18 am. Officially became a teenager. The next few years should be fun :-)

Right now you love video games and learning to play the guitar. You favorite bands are The Beatles and Green Day. It will be interesting to see how you change in the next few years.

Love you,
Mom

We got the chance to display our art pieces, collections and talents. There was everything from photography to kites to salsa dancing. A fun couple of days!
