Welcome to our Blog!

Remember the movie The Truman Show from 1998 and how bizarre it seemed that somebody's entire life was broadcast out to millions of viewers, unbeknown to the star of the show? Ten years later, many of us have willingly opened up our lives, in varying degrees, to the curious eyes wandering the Internet. And while our viewers may not be in the millions, there are just enough friends and family out here in cyberspace, all sharing experiences with each other, that no matter where we may be living, we need not feel alone or isolated. Kendra and I love reading about our friends experiences, viewing photographs of our friends in far away places, and watching video of those we don't see often enough. We hope you will enjoy our Blog.

My first public sale


I have been making bows for a few months now, as most of you already know. For those who have bought some, I really appreciate all of your help and support in my little hobby. Back in February, Lance and I decided we would try to post some bows on Etsy....Well, people would look but no one would buy. I feared it was because I had no feedback and was new to the website, which may be true. However, after a few months of dedication and pursuing with it, I finally made a sale! There have been a few times where I thought, I'm never going to make enough money to cover the cost of everything I have purchased. I've also thought, is it worth all this time to make these bows when no one is going to buy them? I've had my doubts, but thanks to my Mom and loving Husband they have encouraged me to not give up and push forth. Everything takes time and this is something that definitely takes time to get noticed. Anyways, I'm not trying to brag or sound conceited, I was just really excited to see someone else (a stranger) liked me bows enough, to buy one.
