I just want to say Thank you to every single one of you. Those of you that support my very small, merely minute, funky, junky, "all mixed up" business. Those of you that like and share my pages. I make very little money from any of this. It saddens my heart that I don't have the time id like to commit to art and craft fairs, vendors or the like. I know I'm capable of getting my name out there and I'll never give up on that. But even if I never do, art is still my passion. I have been blessed beyond measure with a creative soul that allows my hands to create what I see in my heart. To bring ideas to reality. My work is nothing fancy nor is it anything made from any precious metal. (I'm working, practicing and experimenting with that as we speak ;) But it's mine and it's a work in progress. I started out doing this out of mere boredom, lol and the fact I was returning to school and needed a way to make money. (I had just lost a job I had planned to retire from). I work a crazy amount of hours at my real job now just to make ends meet and raise my girl. I count on someone else to watch out for my girl every night that I leave for work and other times when I'm not able to take her there or watch her here. There are days that it seems that there is no end to the craziness in sight. But then I find myself, sitting at my "hoarders dream" work bench (in my kitchen and has grown to inhabit a part of my living room now. Lol) There have been times I've worked all night or all day long, black, swollen finger tips, bruised thumbs from hammering, cuts, blisters and in the near future possibly some burns from the use of my new torch. Lol. Looking like a straight up troll. Even with all of that, I still find some peace in creating whatever it is that comes to life. There isn't much of anything more fulfilling to me. I'm sure I'll never get rich doing any of this. It's a passion first and foremost and then a hobby. It is my dream to have a studio someday. I'm working toward that someday too. But for now, I just want to say thank you to each and every one of you for supporting what I do. I'm growing. I'm learning. Im experimenting. And I'm gonna be amazing. Lol.
