From A Follower

Pin It Now! Have a good day everyone,

Indeed, it is a good and a wonderful day for me, especially when I opened my facebook account today. There was a photo that caught my attention. When I opened it, I realized she's one of my followers who did one of my patterns/projects from this blog. I am so happy for her and for those whom I helped through this blog. 

What a wonderful day indeed!

MY CREATIONS HAVE BEEN SENT TO THEIR GLORY.

Pin It Now! Today, I had to inventory all my creations so I could catalog them for a garage sale. Before I put them up for sale, I was going to offer them to my sister-in-laws and gift it to them. Imagine my surprise when Mandy tried on the first one and she immediately liked it. I offered her more and she said "I'm so happy you are giving me all these."

This has got to be the best reward I have received in a while. I am always so happy that people like my creations, and they actually use them. I can't wait for pictures from Mandy.


Here are some of my many creations;
