June was a NUTTY month with the end of the school year, sending off of student teachers, fund raisers with MVCA (they needed to try to match $40,000 in a month and a half and they made $47,000 totalling $87,000 for the school. God is doing AMAZING things in MVCA and it looks as though Leo will eventually be administrator of the school. What a blessing!!!) , being called in to cover another art teachers class after she passed away (that was a tough one, but God made it apparent that he would guide me as He had prepared me a year in advance with a crisis management class I took for my MAsters through Oregon State University), preparing for VBS and conducting the craft section (about 150 kids I think, and I had some GREAT helpers!), and finally preparing for a Garden vendor fair I was asked to participate in. I had a group of great friends come over and help me crank out almost 50 bird houses and create some collage art for outdoor hanging. At the end of June Leo and I set up a mock table arrangement and then headed off the following day for my very first vendor sale. It was slow picken's from the buyers as it was the END of the month and the economy is keeping people from buying. I did well though seeing as the people around hardly sold anything (not even enough to cover the cost of their lot). I made that and covered the cost of the supplies so now whatever I sell will all be profit. I'm thinking of doing a few more fairs before the end of the summer!

Yor display was very nice. I will have to get a couple from you when we are out next time if you have some left by then. I really like the shiny and solid color finish. It highlights the detail in the work.
