I LOVED reading this post...some of it was like a walk down memory lane. :)

I'm so proud of you for going after your dreams; you've accomplished a lot in the last few years!

P.S. One of the best things I've ever done is hang your lovely artwork by my front door...makes me smile often :)

You are so talented Beth. Hard to believe that some people questioned your talent in the past. Thank God you stayed true to yourself. I only see bigger and brighter things for you!

Bethany, Thank you so much for your comments. Th...

Bethany, Thank you so much for your comments. They just lifted my spirits so high! So, I did just put together a brief description, with some photos, and emailed them to Jana! Thank you so much for encouraging me to do so. I am not sure I would have thought of that! I did, though, just last week, mail two of the three in. I wasn't sure where to go, but I mentioned it to her that they had two of them. I really want to inspire people to create stuff out of something that cannot be recycled. I would love to get this new idea out there too! :)

oh Bethany, yay that was so much fun to read. When I have been in communication with her, I always feel so important! Love that you did this interview.

And I wanted to share something with you. A while back, I was inspired by some of the things you've made with like a foam (ok, I cannot remember what it is, but what you use to make your puffy things, like cupcakes and such...) So, we live on a very tight budget and have realized that I just cannot buy art supplies. So, I decided that I would not stop no matter what I would get better at finding things. So, I started making some pieces with styrofoam cups, from the garbage, and they are turning out really fun. I wanted to share them with you the most. I just posted two new hearts I made, and I liked to an ice cream cone piece. I would love for you to see them!

Have a great day! It looks like I have some blog reading here to catch up on!!!

Daniele!

I haven't read any of those but many of them sound interesting. I have thought more than once about reading "A Thousand Splendid Suns" but have never gotten around to it. I look forward to hearing your opinion on it when you finish!

Awesome interview! Knowing that the business is truley home based makes me now want to only purchase these products. I work for a business that is still linked to its home based roots and it means a lot to me to buy from similar companies.
