Back to Earth Creations is now a bona fide business: the government knows about us and we are licensed to sell. It was somehow less climatic than I thought it would be, though I don't really know what I was expecting. Fireworks or something I suppose. In any case, being legal will really open us up to doing bigger shows that require a tax ID number, so this will be cool.

In other business-related news we have been accepted as vendors to the Camelot Christmas show in Raleigh, North Carolina for the weekend of December 5th and 6th. This will be the farthest we have ever traveled for showing and I am hopeful that it will be a fruitful and uncomplicated trip.

Transition to more personal matters, Randy and I will be coming to Texas to visit family and friends in January. Still no set dates, but those will be provided as soon as we get tickets. Let us know if anyone wants to get together for a visit: we will only be in town for about 4 days before we head on to Missouri to either get an RV or a van. In either case it is going to rock our world. We have also been sick this past week. Not terribly ill, but just enough to be thoroughly miserable.

Good news: Randy still loves not working at walmart, I still love having him home, we have made a huge order of chainmaille, *the biggest yet* and the booth has experienced its next big leap: we have expanded vertically and it is awesome. Pictures to be posted after we get back from N.C. Also, I am very proud of myself: I am trying more wire wrapping techniques and I am falling in love with jewelry crafting all over again, which is always nice. Today, and in the days to follow, I will be busy sucking on cough drops and making wire wrapped finger rings out of semi-precious gemstones. If I can overcome the lull of laziness, there will be pictures.

It still blows my mind that people like what I make well enough to pay money for it.
I love all of you who have favorite, commented *I especially love those comments!* and added me to their deviant watch. It makes me feel especially special to log in every day and have comments, faves, or what have you.

If I don’t update again before then, I hope everyone has a great holiday!
