Over 200!

ALASKA PLUS 2364girlsYes, I am serious, we have over 200 subscribers, plus others who have the link and just visit. Not sure what the draw is, what you each found interesting.  However, we’ll just muddle along as always.
It may be time for a quick rundown on who we are.  First there was then: http://www.homesteadline.com/About/Honk.htm and http://www.homesteadline.com/Greetings.htm

Through the years we raised kids, held full time jobs and still the crafting crept out in a myriad of ways.  When we get together, or even gather in a chat room, it is worse! We give each other ideas. On top of that, we all qualify for senior citizen discounts [tho not perhaps medicare!].

Subsequently, we each have our own home based business and partner on several crafts as well.  In this group, retired only means being able to leave that job where you worked for someone else.

Denise is the eldest, [traveled to Alaska in 1948 when she was just over a year old, according to “Children of Glacier Point, Book One” so you figure it out!] is retired and has a Memory Teddy Bear business Bellybutton Bears.  She is supposed to maintain the websites, and manage this blog and our Facebook pages.

Linda is next and our true ‘Child of Glacier Point’ [that same link will take you to Book Two as well].  Retirement means she now works full time with her husband on their produce farm and makes beautiful quilts and other Fabric Creations.

Nancy, #3, with retirement a few years out yet, in her spare time does custom embroidery with two large machines at Only1Co.com.   She makes soaps as well!

Ruth, #4 and the youngest, still ranches full time with her husband and works with wood.  Woodshop Wonders began with unique frames and now makes a wide variety of one of a kind furnishings.  Many incorporate re-purposed items.

Because of our varied interests and skills, things tend to follow us home from fabric stores, tool/hardware stores, yard sales, junk stores, and each others stashes.
Our combined skills also include administrative, publishing, management, postal, bookkeeping, varied tech skills, customer service and don’t forget gardening, trapping, canning, fishing.

That is it for today, almost dinner time and today I think it will be breakfast.
