Slow Computers
Trying to play a song that a friend sent me and waiting
and waiting
and waiting...
Checking my email and waiting
and waiting
and waiting...
Trying to delete files to speed up my sister's computer and waiting
and waiting
and waiting...
Why is it that when you want the computer to go fast, it always goes slower?
Right now, I am waiting on the computer...again...
So you people who follow my blog, you can thank the computer for being so slow because I have time to make another blog post! :)

I am not going to be doing much crafts for a few weeks because I need to study for our end of the year tests but this means that I might have more time for blog posts because I am not doing any crafts but then I will not have any new crafts to write about! Oh well. :)
A few weeks ago, I started creating a Cinderella scene inside an empty pumpkin shell. It isn't finished yet and I don't know if it ever will be finished but I took a few pictures of it so I am going to share them. :)

Sewing and more Sewing! :)
I am going to finally post something!
In my last post, I mentioned that I started sewing 18" doll clothes. Now I am selling them as well!
I had a booth at a local conference for three days and sold most of my inventory which was about 40 outfits! I had great fun visiting with the other expo hall people and seeing what hobbies/crafts other people do. For example, guns that shoot marshmallows, necklaces that are made with bullet shells, beautiful paintings, and decorated hats!
One of the weirdest happenings was when I was taking down my booth. This man came up and asked if I was the owner of the booth, I said yes and he handed me a five dollar bill! The thoughts running through my head went something like this:
"Why a five dollar bill?"
"Maybe I dropped one and he wants to return it?"
"No, I have run through my records, I still have the right amount"
"WHY???"
As though he read my thoughts, he said, "I have been praying and feel led by the Lord to give the owner of this booth five dollars"
With questions still running through my head, I accepted it and said thank you.
No, what does a person do with five dollars that she didn't earn? Give it away of course! So, I found the booth of Gospel for Asia (www.gfa.org) and handed it to them.
That episode over, I proceeded to our mini van and attempted to load books from the book sale my mom went to, everything for my siblings booth (www.tasteforhealth.blogspot.com), all the stuff from my booth, and seven people!!!
Needless to say, we couldn't get it all in, we had to put some of the stuff in another family's car.
We got home and went to bed as soon as we could get the van unloaded and eat dinner.
Well, now I am REALLY tired and am going to bed VERY soon!
