Default Brick wall

I don't remember who started the thread about hitting a brick wall and not doing any scrolling, but I was doing fine until I read that then BAM! I came to a complete stop!! I would sit in my shop and just stare at everything and not care whether I did anything or not. I even told hubby I needed something else to do as I had no desire to scroll and the something else found me. As some of you may or may not know and may or may not care, I sell Avon and Pampered Chef. I sent out invitations to a Pampered Chef show and got an invitation back. Some other home party demonstrators wanted to get a group together to do bingo/quartermania auctions for a charity and did I want to join? Long story short, we did it and it was a HUGE SUCCESS! Did a craft show the next day, had fabulous sales and some orders. Got an invitation to join a local Business group (not sure if they want Avon, Pampered Chef or my crafts) and if I join I will be exclusive, no one else in the profession can join. I will find out more Wednesday. My brick wall is gone and my saw all but sings now. Next month we are doing a bingo/quartermania for the local food bank. They heard of our success and asked us if we could do a fund raiser for them. Moral of the story - do something for someone else, no matter what it is, no matter how large or small, don't expect anything in return and you will be paid back tenfold! I was.

Inspiring story. Glad you got that saw making dust again.

I hear my saw calling me too.
Tomorrow is the day, a belt buckle for my son and maybe a portrait or two!
