Knoxville Craft Festival @ Knoxville Expo Center this past weekend. August 14-16.

This turned out to be a good festival with lots of entertainment. One problem I did have was on Thursday when we set up they kept the air conditioner off. With the chemo and some other med's I almost burned up. Not fun but we got it done!!!! We ----meaning my wonderful husband. Friday I took the reins myself at noon as the husband was off to school. Wasn't very busy and sales were slow. My good friend Joanne stopped to visit with me and shop some.

Always good to have her with me when I am not at my best. You always need those friends.

Kristin (my daughter) was coming but Greg (her husband) was really sick so she ended up taking him to the Dr. Yes, he has the swine flu!!!! So she has to stay home with Conner.

They have to stay away from him for 72 hours. Not fun at all !!! Thomas reports too duty and I head home. The new medicine is not making me feel very good so I need to be home.

My husband goes early on Sat. so I can try and rest some. A busy day when I got there because the gun show was next door. Lots of friends stopped by too visit and shop. Some people I hadn't seen in such along time. Lots of shopping and we had belly dancing that day. Fun! Fun!

All kinds of things being sold! I sure didn't have time too look around much.

Sales were great but I was really tiring out at 3:00 but I stayed until 5:00 and away I went .

Sunday we went together and sales were slow today but not horrible.

I watched some people that didn't work there booth at all. They were busy going from booth to booth just talking. Just shows if you WORK that booth SALES are good.

Today we had square dancers and that kept every one entertained. Also along came the sound of Rocky Top. Fun with lots of food!!!! Great lounge area with big screen for the MEN!

I survived but it is not easy sometimes but I love meeting the people.

Thanks to all that visited !!!!!

Need to get some sleep TaTaTaTaTaTa for now!

Knoxville Craft Show @ Knoxville Expo Center

I can't believe the Knoxville Craft Show is right upon me. I have planned so much and was so ahead. Then came this week and last week. Everything went haywire. I had to make two trips too Vanderbilt. See an retina specialist, and eye surgeon and therapy.
Didn't leave much time too work. I have truly burned the midnight oil getting things ready.
Adorable bibs & burp cloths. For Tennessee Fans and Halloween.
Lots of new jewelry like this piece in the picture. Beautfiul grey and blue spide agate beads. GORGEOUS
I have Tennessee market totes, cups and jewelry. We are ready for Football. Friends, Family and Football time in Tennessee towels. Neat to have around.
Lots of other things. Hope to see you there

MAMAW'S BIRTHDAY

On Sunday, August 9 we celebrated my Mother in Law's 81st birthday.
She loves grilled hamburgers and all the fixings. So that is what she had and of course all of her family. My husband is so blessed to have both of his parents and two siblings. His parents have been married 62 years.
They are blessed with three granddaughters and two great grandchildren. One great grandson which is my grandson, Conner, that you see in the picture. They also have a six month old great granddaughter, Camryn.
We had a great time of getting together and lots of laughs.

Family is so important too me. Our next birthday gathering will be my cousin that is turning 70. Wow we can't wait for that for sure.

Have a great night!!!!! TaTaTaTaTa

My daughters friends that all have little boys that are or near my grandson's age. Very active and excited group ready for a birthday party.

This has been a wonderful and exciting weekend. Our wonderful little Grandson, Conner turned 3 on August 1. So he had a Thomas the Train Party at Jumpity Jump. Wow how fun is it to have about 15 little boys that are all about 3 years old. Very exciting and mix that with adults. He will hardly take it Thomas the Train engineer cap off. Conner gets up of the morning and puts the cap on to wear all day. It was a fun time to watch the family members that were not children watch all the exitement with that many children. Climbing, running, bouncing, crying, hungry, and exited all at one time. Conner however had watched his parents carry things in so he knew there were cupcakes so he kept going to the door wanting a SNACK.

This was one excited and Happy Little BOY.
