Well, my package is off to Big Sky Country -- a state that I would love to live in if I were 30 years younger since it seems like somewhere I could have great adventures and perhaps go bareback riding on the elk. SP, I was so late that I didn't get to make as many goodies as I wanted to ... but ... there are some earrings in there for you! I think I will make an extra package to send along later on ...
But I did find out the reason why the sky is so big - there is a significant lack of any store that I have ever enjoyed shopping in - if I like it, Montana doesn't have it.
Or, I should qualify - if I enjoy shopping there, it's a minimum 4 hour drive from where I live.

Just got back from the Craft show~ long day! It was fun meeting all the crafty people here, but we did not do any sales! I think it has a lot to do with the economy. And the fact that there was town wide yard sales and second hand selling going on... Not many want to buy new when they can get so many good bargains at yard sales. But I gave out a lot of business cards and made some really cool contacts.
But seriously the best deal for me today was meeting the girl in the booth next to me; she sells essential oils, and I have been fighting migraines. Yesterday I could barely move, today fought it off and went to show.
The lady put some peppermint oil mixed with lavender oil and my head ache was GONE... later when it started again, I did it again and again headache was gone! I am sold on the oils.
So the show was worth so much to me!
I called home to check and see if I got a package today, but no answer, they had gone to town, I hope they call me back and tell me I got my package~

Seems like many people are on vacation this time of year too. It may take a few days until they know they received their package. I know there are some that do not acknowledge it anyway. I try to remind my SP's to make sure they let Lori know they received. Then some of us can be forgetful. It is so much fun doing this swap. It makes it frustrating when some don't follow through. Thanks Lori for all your hard work.

Darn Bird Krystina... we have grapes and they do not bother them here in WI...but then again I do have them browning in my garden on a trellis...so I am wondering if that is the reason why they do ot bother them...the other option is tha tyou can alway grow marigolds by them and the birds should not bother them..because they do not like them...

I kind of know what Krystyna feels like. We have waited all year for our lobsterfishing season to start, only to have it backfire in our faces. The lobster prices are so low ( $1.50 lb ) that the boats are all tied up(except for a few strike breakers). There have been days we couldn't even sell them. We need those lobsters sold to get us thru the winter months. The spring lobsters didn't trap very well, so both the spring lobsters and summer lobsters have all shed and shed extremely early. I have never seen so many lobsters. We are waiting for a couple of processing plants to reopen, that may help. I had a bright idea, we would fish a few traps to get some to eat. No way is what I was told! If the other fishermen see us hauling any traps, they will think we are breaking the tie up or strike. Sometimes it can get dirty. I guess in some areas they have threatened to cut off traps and who knows what might happen to boats. So the lobsters win! They will shed and move back off shore. Guess what my SP is getting! lol ,(NOT), I just remembered I can't haul traps for any reason, so if I can't eat them, then guess sp won't be getting any either, lol. Of course, when we sell again for a cheap price I could eat them, but the bills have to be paid some how. Sorry for venting about my troubles. Things will get better, I hope!
