It was threatening rain all morning and we weren't sure it would work outside....but we were under an awning and that kept the light rain off of us....
We had all 15 projects displayed. It was such fun, because no one had seen all of them....
Next week they are all off to Houston. My sister Kathy and our owner Sharon will be taking them and I may come in for a day .....I am off to Portland tomorrow to be with our daughter Megan...
This is my mom, Gert....she was my special guest all day and made cookies for all the people who came to the signing....I think maybe they come for the cookies....:))))
Thanks everyone for all your thoughts and prayers....All my best, Jo Ann
Love the pics and the projects. Have a safe trip up here to Portland and bring your rain gear...supposed to have a whopper of a rain and wind storm tomorrow and rain all week.
