But here are photos from Friday’s set up.  

Thanks to everyone who stopped by!  It was a fun and fabulous day!

<br>

Anyway, on to the important details!!  I am participating in the St Mary’s of Nazareth Church’s craft sale this year!  Woot!  It’s at 4600 Meredith in Des Moines.  Here is a link with the map to it.  I’ll be there from 8 am til 4 pm.  Well, let me amend that a tiny bit.  I HOPE to be there, but if I’m not, my things still will be. My daughter and a friend and her daughter will be there.

I’m running a special, too.  If you mention seeing this online,  you will get a free gift!  Fun, huh?

We set up tomorrow afternoon.  I’ll try to remember to take some pictures to upload tomorrow evening to show you.

I’m so excited!  I hope to see all of you there!  Thanks!

Are you ready for the low down on this great sale?

A group of Des Moines area artists are having a sale!  This isn’t anything to “howl” at!  Come on by and see what great deals you can get for a steal.

I’ll be there, with some awesome deals.

And you can shop with Nellie’s Nook, Just Beadiful,  Two Rivers Candle Co., Beantown Originals, Studio GR3, and Names and Frames, too!.

Awesome!
But now I am scurrying like a squirrel to get more fall/Halloween things ready. My room is a PIGSTY! It’s awful!
I am confessing to you and indeed, the whole of the internet that I am a messy creator. Good thing the Lord didn’t ask my help when for those 7 days….I’m not very tidy! I think I would have had some left over stars or something. LOL!
I’ve included some pics, so you can see how bad it really is.
I bet it doesn’t get cleaned up til after the sale, either. Oh well. Life is rough all around, huh?

P.S. I will post more about the sale later. I just wanna tease you about it now. But it is Sunday, Oct 24, from noon til 4 pm in West Des Moines, Iowa.

Enjoy my mess!

(look, Renda!  I am tweeting!  LOL)

See the orange cards on the counter to the right?  That’s where I am working!  That little bitty space!

Next week, I clean up my room!  It hasn’t really been clean since May or so, I am sorry to say.  In a way, that’s a good thing, cause it means I have been busy!

There are a lot of “National  ___  Month” in October.  Breast Cancer Awaremess Month,  National Dental Hygiene Month, and Cyber Security Awareness Month.

The one that is closest to my heart is  National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This is something that I went thru, ten years ago.

I have done a lot of speaking to various groups about Domestic Violence.   Nearly every time I speak to law enforcement, one of the officers will ask me where I think I would be today, if I had stayed in that marriage.  I tell them “I think I would be dead.  I think he would have killed melf and our children by now.”  They always agree with me, and comment that they wanted to know if I was aware of that.

Most people think that DV is only if he is beating the snot out of you Here you physically.  Yes, that is one part of it, but there is so very much more.     The physical scars heal pretty fast, but the emotional scars….I am still working on healing those, ten years later.

Here is a site that has more information.  http://www.domesticviolence.org/

I am praying that NO one is in a dangerous situation.  I am also praying that you will read this site a little bit, to be able to help anyone you may know that living this nightmare.

Just be aware…please.
God bless you.

I think I am going to stop there, since it is almost 11 am, and I am going to be gone for the afternoon!

What’s on your list for today?

355 NE 56th Street in Pleasant Hill (south off of University, left at the Wells Fargo Bank,

just west of the bypass highway) Clear down the street on the left.
Feel free to pass this on to friends or bring friends!

Sunday is my birthday.
If you wish me happy birthday, you will receive a gift!

I have a lot of new product to share with you, too.
I hope to see a lot of you there! Can’t wait!

You can tell by the amount of mess I have to clean up, how

hard I have been working.  LOL!  Feel privileged to see this…

I wouldn’t share it with just anyone.

Now, when will you be over to help me clean up? 

I will be there from 10am til 3 pm. Please stop by if you are in the area and say hi!

Here is the new display rack I have been working on filling

up the last few days.  Pretty spiffy, huh?

Thank you for considering helping her and I out in this new endeavor.  You are greatly appreciated!

I am going to be a busy girl, doing all my work, but I want to recommit publicly (which means I *have* to do it, right?) to blogging more often.  Hang on to your monitors, cause this will be going fast.

For now, I wanted to try to clear up the confusion of my last post, http://handstampedbylove.com/blog/?p=80 .
Let me see if I can make this easier.  I got a LOT of questions about it. When you buy 3 cards, you get one free.  With the discount and the free card, that raises your discount per set of 4 cards to 40% off.  4 cards for $6.00

I hope that makes it clearer.  If it doesn’t, please feel free to email me at info@handstampedbylove.com

Thanks for reading and shopping.
See ya on Monday!
Have a blessed weekend.
