We have done this together!!

Over the last couple of months I have begun to hit my festival and cons for the first time in a while. I had an unfortunate snafu when diabetes decided to take me down and show me I am not in my 20s. That I am in fact.... old. And with that age finally came wizdum. After missing west fest craft show I was completely demoralized. I mean how could I let the Lord down like that. I know what my body can and can not do... and i know what I need to have set up. So we paid but missed that show completely. To let the masses know I paid that fee in full out of my own pocket. That mistake will not come out of any funds that any of you have paid us. The next show was again at the Central craft fair. It was the first year and I wanted to do something huge. But I did not plan my display as well as I thought. As a matter of fact I have picked up multiple spots and have barely needed more than one. I had some things I needed to tweak a bit, but all in all I was VERY happy with that show. People came out to the show and I noticed that our friends do in fact really enjoy both our tie dye and our dice. 3d printing has become fun as well and really enjoy do that for giggles.

That brings us to this week at the Strawberry Jazz fest. I have not worked this show for a handful of years and I was ready for it..... wait um.... well no. I was not as ready as i thought I was. This time... had two spaces and forgot everything for the 2nd space... again. But after she attended service that morning, my lovely partner friend and wife Louise came out with our children to throw me a HUGE assist!! Love that woman!

After she saved me, the crowds began to file in and the Lord provided in way I did not see coming. I had my biggest sales day by His grace and your help. Thanks to all of you we have made progress in updating a piece of our equipment and have actually put ourselves in the black for the fees. PLUS THE BIG PART.

Between the first of these shows, a few random sales to friends, a couple of printing jobs with some outside groups and people helping in a couple of cash donations, we have sent the ladies $300 in MAY. But this weekend alone after our costs... we are ALSO sending and additional $300 to them. We are close to having all Birthdays and Holiday gifts covered. Then we will begin to work on helping their community by donating their family as a whole. That is our goal this year. We are want to fill the children's lives with the Love of God, and work to helping their family next. Someday, I hope we can find a way to help out their community as well. Only time and the plan of God will tell. And either way... we will be happy to bring His name forward. THANK TO ALL OF YOU WHO HELPED US OUT!!
