Operation Pumpkin is now all wrapped up! Reflecting on this past weekend has me grinning from ear to ear.
Buckle up, it's going to be a long post!
I loved every moment of the weekend. The weather was perfect and the people were amazing. Thank you for everyone that stopped by the booth! I cannot say how much it means to see the same people stop by every year. Whether you were picking something up or just coming by to say hi and drop off a hug, my love and appreciation goes out to each and every one of you!
Knowing people appreciate my creations truly makes me cry with joy. It is great to make some money, but building a community is what it is really all about.
I have a hard time remembering names, but I remember your faces, your stories and your smiles.
A son buying his mom a keychain, just because.
Friends giggling together over F Bombs
Parents becoming kids again, even for a moment
Finding something you know will brighten your daughter's day when she lives so far away.
Working with other amazing crocheters to bring happiness to our town.
Seeing old friends after 30 years.
Hugging former coworkers who still brighten your day.
The younger generation sharing their crochet journey.
Ugh, the hugs. So many wonderful happy hugs❤️
Thank you and see you again in June!
