Just one Blog

Greetings friends,
It has been too long..............
My life has not been my own for quite some time but I am now claiming some fun time.
We have lived with my daughter and her 5 kids for the last 8 weeks so needless to say I am never alone. My shop has taken much time as I have been trying to keep it looking good all the time. Never mind the mountains of snow and the cold of winter, I just didn't want to do anything. But that is changing as everyday we get a bit more sunshine and I happily anticipate the time in the greenhouse.

I am getting rid of my other blogs, for some reason I thought that I should keep my shop and my spiritual life on another blog , not sure why separation of blogspace maybe?
But this is my life and it all works together for good. So now I will have "shoptalk", "God talk", "Garden talk", and Family -talk all in the same place. Hope it works for you. It's a wonderful life!!!

Getting Ready for Valentine's

Hello friends,
If anyone would have told me that I could learn how to do photoshop elements a year ago I would not have believed them. But here I am and loving it, thanks to Kim at the Cafe [see my sidebar] I have been following Mary at Greenpaper for a long time and always wanted to do one of her monthly challenges
[she provides the emphemera and you do the creating] but alas never did.

But today I realized that Valentine's Day is just around the corner so I decided to make a card for my sweetheart and I took her challenge. Here is what I made.I am going to add a sentiment but haven't figured out what I want to say yet. Have any ideas????
Thanks for sharing in my adventures! Blessings Meg

Happy New Year

Greetings Friends,

It has been so long since I have updated my blog that I hardly know where to start. First I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas season with the ones you love and secondly my best wishes to you all for the new year. It would be difficult to go over all the events and emotions of the last months so I will start where I am now.
We've moved our Home Goods to a brick and mortar store rental in an antique old mill in the next town. So I am now a store owner again. I am working on the store blog as well as a website so stay posted. We began really pursuing the larger flea and antique markets this past year as a venue to sell our wares but the next market up this way is May and we will starve if we wait so the storefront became the only avenue for really getting our "Home Goods" out there. Here are a couple pics of our store interior as we were getting ready to open, and I will be back to show you more.
