Still waiting to hear from the O'Fallon Band Booster Club craft fair. Next week I will fill out and mail the Strange Folk Festival application.

I am currently looking for a job. I signed up for the ticket to work program that Social Security has. I was with one placement organization and they didn't help me at all. These companies are job placement companies. They help with job seeking skills, resumes, job placement and vocational counseling. This new place, Employment Options, Inc. specialize in work from home jobs. So we will see how it goes.





Here is a hat I made for my hair dresser. It was such a hit that the receptionist at the salon wanted one. So I made her one in purple colors and charged her $30. I was told that it wasn't enough, but since I enjoyed making it and it didn't take very long and the yarn wasn't expensive, I was happy with the price.

We are having a garage sale tomorrow and Saturday. I have priced all the clothes and items we are selling. The money we make will go in the pot for Don's and my trip to San Fransico (sorry about the spelling, I just can't think today) this August for our anniversary. I have never been there so I am looking forward to it. I was thinking of selling my jewelry at the garage sale, but after thinking about it a little longer, I decided not to because I don't want to sell the pieces at garage sale prices.

I mailed the application to the O'Fallon Band Booster craft fair. Now it's just waiting to hear from them. There is four of us that will share the booth. The four of us want to participate in the Strange Folk Fair that is held in O'Fallon also. The application for that opens in June. Both of these fairs are juried, which means they want to see pictures of what you will sell in your booth. It took a few tries to get the pictures and the quality of pictures we wanted to send in. But in the end the pictures weren't so bad.



Here is a sampling of what we will be selling in our booth.
