ONE DOWN ONE TO GO

[Ambivalent]

I'm going to toss something out to you and you can mull it over. Have you given any thought to possibly setting up a little side business w/decorating and creating costumes for dance classes? It sounds like you have a creative streak there that might need to be channeled and since people admire your costumes and you enjoy doing them...just something to think about.

Oh how many times I've heard...You should sell that, those. You do have me pegged, I am an artist! Textile, dog sweaters, teddy bears (even won awards at the MD Sheep and Wool Fest. ) I do dried floral arrangements and topiaries in/on antiques and jams and jellies w/liquors and from what I harvest on the property @ Waterford!

So no, I won't be doing any costumes. Did have great fun dong the kids when they were younger...Driad, Hydrangea Flower Fairy, Star from Chronicles of Narnia, Renaissance girls...etc

My marriage afforded me the opportunity to explore my creativity. If you go on FB, I'll post links to images of my work!

Problem with the creative side, hates the paperwork side! If I could just create, and someone managed now THAT would be ideal! You name it I can make it...ha!

If you are not up to decorating a lot, keep it simple and tasteful. You've had a lot going on in your life and you do not need to "keep the normal traditions" in place. Do something different, if you so wish.

My daughter really likes it, and it does make for a very comfy Christmas...It is one of the traditions that I don't believe I should destroy. The smells of the candles, the folk art and antiques, greens, and dried arrangements...it is quite the Early American Life magazine picture.

I do believe I'm motivating myself, HA!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed on your interviews and that the right one comes along.

At this point it just seems odd. For once I get licensed, I will be looking for a job in my field. I kind of hate leading an employer on..., but who knows how long it will take me to get that job I suppose? Anyhoo, must get back to waffling, Ha!
