Good morning cuties,

How often to you hear ''you work to hard for what you get paid'' especially from your hubby or family. We as crafter (all types) know we never get paid our full value and that often our time is paid way under minimum wage (way under). It is hard to explain to others that we do this for the pleasure and the accomplishment of seeing something materialize from an idea to finished product.
Yesterday I got a call from someone who will be a new customer, saying she had received a baby basket as a gift 3 years ago. She wants to purchase one for a friend who will be having a baby girl. I took the info, set up a meeting and while giving her my new address info, wondered how whe had found me after my move.
She laughed saying it was like being a detective and went on to explain that she had contacted someone who used to work with my physio, called the physio who mentioned that I used to do a craft show (the Farmer's Market) and that maybe they could help. They went to the Market and although the employees knew who they were talking about, they did not have my contact info. They followed that up with meeting the owner who in turn gave them the info about the show organizers and placed another call. That is how she found me. I was so touched and when I hung up the phone I had a huge smile on my face. Hubby had listened to my conversation and had to ask me ''what are you smiling about and who was that''.
I simply looked at him and said ''this is why I do what I do'' and explained my conversation to him. He in turn had no choice to smile as well.
We never know when we sell our créations, how it will touch someone. This gesture made my day, (my week) so when you think to yourself ''I work to hard for what I get'', blessing to the heart are worth more than money in the bank.
Thanks for listening to my story, you are also blessing to my heart
hugs
Michelle
