I always wanted to have my own business - something creative where I could share ideas and inspiration with fellow crafters/designers. The problem was finding time and deciding exactly what I wanted to be when I grew up! Now that I've retired from education after 26 years and moved from Texas to a very, very small town in Mississippi, I find my life has just begun! I'm so excited to share my journey into the world of designing, creating a business, starting over, blogging and websites, scrapbooking, and creating and enjoying beauty. So my story begins, here in The Delta, on a stormy night, with my first blog post - at least until the power goes out or my sketchy internet decides otherwise!
Some things are just meant to be. When my husband told me he had a job offer in Stoneville, Mississippi, I googled surrounding towns but couldn't find much. Then God put the wheels in motion and I realized I qualified for retirement, we sold our house in 11 days (thank you Daxton Satery in Corpus Christi!), we found the perfect house in Stoneville that wasn't even on the market yet (thank you Gaila Oliver in Leland!), and we closed on one house and moved into another within 2 weeks! I am still shaking my head in disbelief! Storm is getting worse so more later! Is anyone actually out there reading this? Here's a pic of what I like to do! More later!

I am reading and I'm so happy for you...although I miss you terribly here in Corpus Christi.
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful. Didn't have time to read it until now, but I'll read your posts!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new adventure! If this photo is any indication of your work, then wow! You definitely have talent! Looking forward to seeing your work! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words of encouragement! I took a quick peek at your website - wow! Congrats on being a Sizzix designer! I can see why! My favorite scrap store is in Okc- Paper Crown. I go when I visit my mom. Can't wait to spend more time on your site!
