It is not my first large show but the first in awhile and I am amazed how it has its own life, its own force, that pulls me in its wake. Creativity was the first reason to do this, creativity is now the avalanche that drives my tools because the more I make the more ideas I get and the faster I seem to work. Of course, there are also the times when I wonder if it all makes sense, if I can hold out, if it will be okay ... but on the whole it is an enjoyable experience that I feel fortunate to be part of. And then, not to have to worry about the booth, or the lighting, ... a real gift from the OCC to us artisans. Thank you!
