This is the first show since the pandemic! I hope you will come out and see us. We have a lot to show you.</p><p>The date is Saturday, September 23 & Sunday, September 24. <a href="https://stampscraparttour.com/southfield-mi-sept-23-24-2023/" target="_blank">SSAT.com</a> for all the information</p><p>It's been almost a year since Jeff's accident. He's doing really well. His eyesight is getting much worse, so if you see him be sure to be right in his line of sight so he can see you. If you don't know he has RP which leads to tunnel vision. He will most likely always have some vision, but right now it's less than 18%.</p><p>If you are not signed up for our newsletter, please sign up on the website home page. <a href="http://www.thepaperhollow.com" target="_blank">www.thepaperhollow.com</a>.

Jeff fell at the York, PA convention and ruptured his bladder. He had emergency surgery and a week long stay. It was especially hard because we were 10 hours from home and alone.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">He was released on the 14th and we got home on the 15th. Doctor appointments were crazy. On the 21st he had his JP drain removed.... that night we were in emergency. He was having some really sharp pains. They admitted him and ran tests. He had a staph infection. He was released on the 25th. So home again for the night. He has had a catheter this whole time so that his bladder could heal.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Wednesday morning he got the cath removed and ahhhh, we thought we could relax. BUT NOoooo. His bladder did not cooperate and he never released any fluid....so at 6 pm we are back at the ER. That trip was a very long story, but when they finally seen him they drained 1500 ml from his bladder. I am so thankful it did not burst. They sent him home with a new catheter and here we are. He should get the cath out next week and we pray everything will be okay.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">We missed the Sevierville, TN convention. It's one of our favorites, but ya know... life happens. Jeff has been diagnosed with RP (look that one up) and is legally blind. I do all the driving now, unless someone is with us on the road and they share the task with me. He has had one lesson with a white cane and used it today when we went grocery shopping. He still has direct vision, but a low, 18% vision field. The normal person has 180 degree<span class="css-44bdmm e1o4o2va1" color="#F44725"><span class="css-burnx3 e1o4o2va0"> peripheral</span></span> field. And so this is how it all started. He didn't see some crates while we were packing up in York and he tripped over them and fell onto a crate and ruptured his bladder.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">So many prayers have been sent and answered. I want to thank everyone for taking the time to remember us and sending love.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">So the convention season is over for now. We are playing catch up and I'm doing 4 craft shows in the next 2 months. Life is always busy, just the way we like it.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">So till next time,</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Cheryl</span><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4729248908467332721.post-87810073229494466202022-09-18T12:38:00.003-07:002022-09-18T12:38:34.110-07:00Join the Club<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ2Guho7OUUjXPxkyupiuvUvug6xAziEfUlMpitL12PfLv1oUyHv01RyDcxy_k4e-By18X3j-hhS_NbMNWP4u64DG8lxkHLZX_E0tD7rRXLmtAnbRWCavnPt-a0-pzXJm3lijoRkVJ0e3onw6O4Oafb1mItok0rq9nk_87LyPoy4bzoSlXCpWea9IZ/s2181/Sept%2022.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1655" data-original-width="2181" height="243" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ2Guho7OUUjXPxkyupiuvUvug6xAziEfUlMpitL12PfLv1oUyHv01RyDcxy_k4e-By18X3j-hhS_NbMNWP4u64DG8lxkHLZX_E0tD7rRXLmtAnbRWCavnPt-a0-pzXJm3lijoRkVJ0e3onw6O4Oafb1mItok0rq9nk_87LyPoy4bzoSlXCpWea9IZ/s320/Sept%2022.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> So this is the sample for September. I really like this flower. I have more orange in it but it doesn't show. It's attached with Krylon spray to the background paper.<p></p><p>This background is one of my new papers. I'm really excited how they are being received. They look good with everything.</p><p>Several people have signed up over the last couple of months. It's been good to see people being interested again. Covid time was harsh on business and on club memberships. I get it.</p><p>If you are interested in joining the club, go to the online store and click the link to memberships. You will find info there for 3 month, 6 month and 1 year memberships.</p><p>I look forward to October. Three shows in 3 weeks. I'm going to be exhausted. </p><p>So till next time,</p><p>C <br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4729248908467332721.post-53750413602899790222022-08-31T20:04:00.000-07:002022-08-31T20:04:05.318-07:00I'm Blessed by her words.<p><span style="font-family: arial;">We had a great show in Hamburg, NY.

I was so looking forward to the show at John S. Knight and went with my
stash of money and ended up spending a total of $3.00. I was so
disappointed. The only two booths that even interested me were Marco's

a show, that I couldn't even shop. <span class="pq6dq46d tbxw36s4 knj5qynh kvgmc6g5 ditlmg2l oygrvhab nvdbi5me sf5mxxl7 gl3lb2sf hhz5lgdu"></span></span></p><p><span class="d2edcug0 hpfvmrgz qv66sw1b c1et5uql lr9zc1uh a8c37x1j keod5gw0 nxhoafnm aigsh9s9 d3f4x2em fe6kdd0r mau55g9w c8b282yb iv3no6db jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v knj5qynh oo9gr5id" dir="auto" lang="en"><span class="pq6dq46d tbxw36s4 knj5qynh kvgmc6g5 ditlmg2l oygrvhab nvdbi5me sf5mxxl7 gl3lb2sf hhz5lgdu"><span style="font-family: arial;">It really made me sad that someone would only shop 2 local booths and not even really look at the vendors who traveled hours and many miles to be there.</span></span></span></p><p><span class="d2edcug0 hpfvmrgz qv66sw1b c1et5uql lr9zc1uh a8c37x1j keod5gw0 nxhoafnm aigsh9s9 d3f4x2em fe6kdd0r mau55g9w c8b282yb iv3no6db jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v knj5qynh oo9gr5id" dir="auto" lang="en"><span class="pq6dq46d tbxw36s4 knj5qynh kvgmc6g5 ditlmg2l oygrvhab nvdbi5me sf5mxxl7 gl3lb2sf hhz5lgdu"><span style="font-family: arial;">First we were still in a pandemic atmosphere.

The warehouse (storage unit) has been set up for online orders and convention storage. It's looking better every day.</p><p>Our lives are changing so fast. Today Gov Whitmer announced that she might close the state down again. She's giving it 3 weeks to get better. I hope in those 3 weeks I can get enough out of the store to move out completely. If not I will be there in January. Not something I have planned for or want.</p><p>Tomorrow I get to spend with my youngest grandson. I haven't seen him in over 3 weeks. He's changing so fast and I don't want to miss anything. It will be a great day even if it rains.</p><p>Stay tuned for upcoming sales and discounts. They will be in our mailings and on our website.</p><p>For now stay safe!

It's been over 12 years since I did a "craft" show. It was a way of life when my kids were little. I was a stay at home mom and earned enough money doing crafts to buy the kids a wonderful Christmas.<br />
<br />
This year I just needed to have that feeling again of "artist" exuberance when someone buys a piece that I've made and takes a part of "me" home with them.<br />
<br />
The first show didn't go so good. There was construction and geez did it ever hinder people from coming to the school. I signed up for next year again, just because I never pooh a show after one time unless I know for sure it will continue to be a bad show. This is usually a good show, so I'm giving it another chance.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is the second one for the year. It's about an hour and a half away so I got a hotel for the night because they don't have Friday night set up. I'll have to get up way to early for my nature to get everything ready and I don't want all that driving time so early in the morning. It is usually a good show for crafters. NO VENDORS allowed. That is a good sign!!<br />
<br />
Next weekend is my third and last show of the year. It's always been a good show. I did it many, many years ago. Let's see if I still feel the same next Sunday when everything is over and done. <br />
<br />
Now my rant: I'm a member of some crafting groups online. I absolutely HATE when someone asks, "I just signed up for my first craft show....what is selling?" Honey, if you don't already have a craft you should never have signed up for a craft show. Second...if it is selling for me...why would I tell you? Craft shows are friendly, but not when you ask how something is done, or say "I can make that myself". It's RUDE!! So maybe you can...will you? But it's a dog eat dog world and I'm not going to answer any of those stupid questions.<br />
<br />
Yes, the store is still keeping me busy. No I haven't let craft shows take over my love for my business. Jeffrey worries when I get a new idea, that I will let the store falter. Nope, just doing this for fun and some fun money.<br />
<br />
I continue to ask everyone to shop small and support small business.<br />
Til next time,<br />
