I'm All Smiles

Thank you!

Thank you for being the best group of cheerleaders a gal could ask for.

Thank you for all the sweet comments.

Thank you for all the link love on Facebook.

Thank you for your orders.

Thank you for all the loving support.

THANK YOU!

I must say, it feels purty good to have the shop up and running. 

I feel like I finally crossed something 

off my 'to do' list that had been rewritten

a bazillion times.
It feels good I tell you.

The other day I mentioned Josh helped me with a project.

My sweet hubbie gave me a metal stamping kit for Christmas.

(There I go . . . my fascination with metal again)

I've played around with them a few times,

and we used them to number our cabinets when we took them off,

but I wanted to really make something fun with them.

So this is what we did.

 We made flattened spoon garden markers!

 Do you think they're as cute as I do?

 This batch was definitely a learn as you go thing.
We discovered the very best way to do it,
on the LAST spoon I had.
Ha!
We also discovered that it works best with silver plated and not stainless steel.
Of course, because there are 12 billion stainless steel ones at the thrift store and not a single silver plated.
I'm not kidding, I went hunting for them on Tuesday and went home with this tune in my head:
'It's like 10,000 knives when all you need is a spoon'
(lyrics altered a bit)
So if any of you happen to have a collection of silver plated spoons,
I would LOVE to buy them from you!


On another note,
as a way to say thank you for all your encouragement
 and cheer leading
I'm gonna have a lil' ol' give away.
Wooo Hooo!!
 
I attempted to make a key chain
with the reminder to keep dreaming

 I'm also going to throw in one of these

If you'd like to enter this lil' party,
just leave me a comment by the end of the day,
and I'll let you know who got picked out of the hat tomorrow.


Thank you again for being the confidence booster I needed!

Have a magnificent day

and keep working towards that lil' dream!!
