Dear Friends!~A photo of my brother, Alex's HS Graduation with his sweet girlfriend! They look so young, don't they? A very exciting time in their lives!!! I was thrilled to have the opportunity to go home to PA & be a part of this glorious event with our entire family who came together, 3 grandparents were there with us, 8 grandchildren & what a blessing this was to see everyone together!~ I miss my family!!! *** My DH is away this weekend and I am catching up on current orders while I am working on my website listings. I like to keep you updated weekly on my blog!~ Last weekend I was away from Friday through Monday. Returned on Tuesday morning after an unexpected missed flight in Phila, PA~ I had 2 customers who got very upset with me when they did not hear from me over those last 2 days as my laptop died! I do normally respond immediately & working 24/7... I needed this break away. This was upsetting to me... 4 words here; *Patience is a virtue...

Alex has been such a light & blessing to us all... he definitely has kept our parents young & on their toes. He was born when I was 16! He had 4 big sisters who all loved him dearly & were all like mothers to him. What a special time!!! I'm so proud of him; I hear from everyone that Alex is going to be a famous bass player one day, he is truly gifted in music & has worked very hard in school.
Around the 15th of this month, we will be leaving for 10 days to visit with my husband's family & friends in Michigan & Wisconsin. I will be updating you here on our travels over that time & will post & do my best to respond while I am away then, too. ~Until then, I'm catching up on my work & perfecting my website listings & photos. It's all very time consuming, as you can see... my goal is to offer you the VERY BEST, from start to finish! I have been SO disappointed with ebay's new feedback system & not to mention how much money they take from every transaction. Very discouraging & this is why approx. 75% of designers have left ebay. This has been very stressful for me as I have had some very difficult customers who have tried to make my life miserable in the last two weeks since the system changed, wanting items for free & complaining, but still bidding on my items! When I blocked this customer, she left me negative for everything I ever made for her!~ As a result... I'm listing MUCH less on ebay & will only be listing samples I've made to sell there with my LOW .99 starting bids. I will continue to sell on ebay in a very small way, just search BOOAK on ebay to find my listings!
Enjoy your weekend together as a family, take time to enjoy each other. You never know when things will change at the blink of an eye! I'm touched & so saddened by a recent event of a amazing, favorite Christian music artist, Steven Curtis Chapman, & his family's story of their little girl, Maria, who was struck by a car in her driveway & killed at only just 10 days over her 5th Birthday. SO VERY SAD for all of those involved. She was the youngest of 3 precious little girls from China that the family adopted & LOVE dearly. Please keep the Chapman family in your prayers. I will post a link to their incredible association & website where you can read more & even contribute in her memory.
Love & Prayers from the Mississippi Gulf Coast
