Our first Arts and Crafts event....

Hello everyone...
Well we did our first Arts and Crafts event last weekend.  It was a good learning experience and Lyle and I and our grandson Matthew enjoyed the time and experience together.  We met lots of new people, other artists, and learned a lot.

This coming weekend we will be at the Goodyear Arts and Crafts event...15305 W. McDowell Road, Goodyear. (I-10 ext. Pebble Creek/ Estrella in plaza off McDowell Rd.)

It's all new to us...and trying new things is good.

Exciting News!!!

This weekend Lyle and I will be showing our gourds at the Arts and Crafts Fair located at 5115 N. 27th Ave in Phoenix.  It is W. of I-17 and N. of Camelback Road.
Our grandson, Matthew plans to be with us also!

We would love to see you if you can come ...we'll be there Saturday and Sunday from 10-5.

If you can't be with us in person we hope you will be there in spirit and thank God for the wonderful weekend He has in store for us.

Here we are at the exhibit we did at Vista de la Montana

Oh, yes, and 3 of our gourds are loaned to Senior Helpers in Sun City for their booth at the Sun City Grand Oktoberfest which will be Saturday, October 15th from 9-.
I have done work for Senior Helpers for the last several years and I totally recommend Jim at Senior Helpers to anyone who is looking to hire a caregiver for a senior.  Jim is the President of the Sun City Senior Helpers.
