I'm alive! :D
I'm elated!
I'm excited!
I'm "pingin" !
I'm a nervous wreck!
I'm so busy I can't see straight!
And it's ALL GOOD!
God is sooo good!
He has provided every step of the way for the shop!
Granted we are not totally done yet. But yes we are open! First class is this friday :D
Got some decor up yesterday, finally. Still more to do. Still need to dye tons of wool and fill up that wool room! But getting our models done - heh heh you're probably thinking "just now??". Yup. There's been no other time to get em done with all the other stuff that needed to be done first! Priorities.. priorities!
I WILL take pictures and post them here soon. As soon as we get things where we want them!
Yesterday was awesome. Besides all the things we got accomplished, I got to talk to my Dad. I've really been missing him and thinking about him a LOT lately! And his birthday is TOMORROW!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!!
I LOVE YOU!!
xoxoxoxo
I'm really really proud of him... he's at a place in his life that he is living his dream!! He worked for years to get his letter for the National Watercolor Society. He was accepted last year (i think?) and highlighted with a series of paintings. He's been teaching and loving every minute of it. Well a little over a month ago he was invited to be the first Vice President of the National Watercolor Society !!!(association? i might have my terms mixed up?)
Talk about living your dream and doing what you love!! I'm soo thrilled for you Dad!!
Check out his blog... http://www.mebaileyart.blogspot.com/ he's such a talented man!
Well i need to scoot and get out of the house.
I hope you have a great day! I will try to get online more often... but no promises for the next couple of weeks :( But after that we should hit our stride and I'll be back to blogging about all the non-consequential things again! LOL!!
Blessings,
Bren :)

Happy belated birthday wishes to your Dad. And I think we can all "see" your excitement about the new shop. I hope your first class exceeds your expectations and you have a wonderful time.
