Busy Crafting and Scrapping

So, Heidi and I have been doing a booth at some craft boutiques.  At the one we did at Freedom Academy at the end of April, we had a great thought and have been working hard to get it all put together (it was something Sean has been telling us to do for over a year now, and when Heidi mentioned it to me at the boutique again, it finally sunk in and we started putting it together).  It has been a lot of work for the past few weeks, but we did a Mother's Day boutique in Santaquin to get our first shot at how it would go and it went pretty well for being a little small show in someone's back yard.  We were very encouraged, so we got more together and tried again this weekend and got blown over and rained out.  But, they day did start off encouragingly with some good sales and will be less preparation for the next one we do since we have it all put togehter and figured out now (we hope).  It has also brought forth another GREAT opportunity that I can't talk about yet, but hopefully it all pans out and goes well for us.  We are both very excited.  In the meantime, we are going to start selling our kits at another store and it should be up and running this week with our first 15 kits for them.  Another potentially great opportunity.  Plus, we are working and hoping to get our very own store/site set up very soon and have been making strides in that direction.  We will still keep selling at our original site too though.  It is a great store and community and we love selling there, just looking for chances to expand our business.

The boys are excited that school is nearing an end.  Travis is loving his job at the movie theater.  Tyrel passed off all his stuff to get his driver's license and has been busy aerating and helping Sean now that the weather is getting nicer and things are getting busy with his work.

I've scrapbooked some awesome older pictures over the past month, so I'm posting some of them here.
