"What I know is, is that if you do
work that you love,
and the work fulfills you, the rest will come."
-Oprah
Winfrey
Our
wish for you is that you MAKE TIME to do the work you love,
to put your love into what you are doing, and to let those
good feelings fulfill you.
"I thought I'd send a picture of my latest felting
project. You can see I've been really hooked on this.
Also got my friend, Pat Krueger, started and maybe another one. Hope so
- it's fun to network.
I'm also sending a page from a song book I
illustrated for my grandkids - "Froggie Went A'Courtin'",
an old song that I've always enjoyed. This inspired my latest felting
piece.
Love your newsletter and products. Thanks for making everyone feel like a big "family"."
