I am so glad for the new year, the chance to get going again! I had so much fun doing the Clark County Show. I was delighted to be invited to stay with the BH Boys or Barn Boys as Dave calls them.
Here is the picture on their blog banner,which is a good indicator of the beauty they create. I’m still not sure which of them took the photo’s, but none the less they are both incredibly talented. Not just talented but smart too!
I’m sure you have heard of Google Reader. I didn’t know exactly how it worked and why I would want too. Jermonne showed me how it worked, how much faster it was to read the blogs you keep up with, none of the clicking back and forth, waiting for the loading and downloading, not really knowing if you have read the most recent post or not, amazingly cool.
Much like the speed reading class I once took, only better!! You will want to try it.
As a side note have you seen this recent Sommerset copy?
The most talented Robin Laws, aka Bird Tweets, has a beautiful article and photos taken at a Barn House Event. This is one of her pictures that wasn’t in the article, but on her blog. I totally love her photography she always seems to catch the spirit as well as the image of her subjects.
Not only do I think Google Reader is a wonderful time saver. I would like to once again tell you that I love doing my postings in
a free download. This makes it soooo much simpler and faster than Blogger. The pictures go where you put them without messing with HTML and you can write the post off line and then post it when you have internet access. I had been telling Lisa for months she needed to switch and when she finally did she had to call and tell me how much easier it was!
It was an especially fun time this weekend, because Miss Cindy
was also staying at BH, helping me at the show and generally just sprinkling inspiration in all directions.
Do you remember Robin’s article this summer
You will want to join me
Saturday, January 30th at the Barn in Oregon City
I will be there to see what kind of magic the Queen has conjured up for her first show of the new year.
It was great fun being with The Queen and the BH Boys, but I also had a wonderful time visiting with my customers, fellow bloggers and other vendors all weekend.
I enjoy the shopping, gathering the merchandise. I tolerate getting things ready for sale, I grit my teeth while Dave loads it, delivers it and helps me get it set up. But the best part, the reason I love this business is the interaction with all of you. Thank you so much for your continued support and for your friendship
you are the best of the best!
JOY!
Hi Joy, it was so good to see you!!!

I love my new Somerset Life. I've been going through it nice and slow. Have you seen Apronology yet? For now it will only be published once a year...the new one will be out any day and I'll have my first write-up in it. Keep an eye out!
ReplyDeleteWish I was there....might have a chance to peek by the Queen's barn (am in Scio for my dad's birthday - only problem is his birthday is the 30th - do you think he'd mind?)...
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
