Its Thursday.... and a good day to have a great day.
Its that crazy lady again and was only to be working at this shop until 3 pm but I am having the time of my life so I just gave my helper the option to come in at 4 or not at all. So I am here the rest of the evening doing shop things.
With that, I just added a new creator to the Jenny Lyns family. She was so excited to join and I just got her creations on display.
She makes jewelry and she is also an artist and has these really neat framed drawings and will be adding more painted creations soon.
Its a small world 🌎 as I remembered her from my early childhood days when she came into my shop for the 1st time a few days ago.
It totally shocked her cause she had no clue who I was and I am telling her about who she was and her kids.
My mind still works and pulls out some pretty far off things especially from my past... its still filed up there somewhere.
I mean, I haven't seen her since in my elementary school years and that says a lot, 40 years later. She still looks the same 😀.
