My sister Linda from restyled home told me about you and how much I would love your blog...she was right!<br /><br />I just had the honour of meeting Jenny & Matthew Mead & participating in his latest project Holiday...with Matthew Mead. I was lucky enough to be in some photos with my family at my sister Linda's house where he was shooting Christmas scenes.<br /><br />They are a wonderful couple and a wealth of knowledge! They are also easy to talk to and so kind and gracious! I'm not in the business yet they were genuinely interested in my simpler life as a wife & mother.<br /><br />What is so funny is that the first place I met them was for dinner at Cafe Italia in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia Canada! I got a kick out of the fact we both met them at the same restaurant just in different locations! <br /><br />Can't wait to read more of your blog!onelittlemustardseedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06570196174294041365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28631804.post-59339802569210328702010-05-14T04:46:20.882-06:002010-05-14T04:46:20.882-06:00I wanted to attend the Mary Englebreit event so ba...I wanted to attend the Mary Englebreit event so badly, but I just couldn't swing it financially.

It's so important to make time for yourself. It's amazing how therapeutic sitting down to craft in a room full of women can be. It seems to clear your head. <br /><br />I've had my shop for 5 years now and have done little else but focus on the business.
