Crafting for Mad Money




Today my horoscope said this: 
While sorting out stuff to sell at the flee market, I found some old Fimo bricks and clay tools. 

There are sure to be rainy days for crafting. At camp fire sing-a-longs, I’ll bring along my Knitting. 

In order to avoid clutter and make some extra cash, I’ll sell  my creations at Craft Shows.  I’ll just rent a space.

And yes the gigantic SUV will be able to stow along my big folding table to display my handiwork.

Let's just see what this artist-lite can do!

Florida, The Sunshine State

Florida State Motto - "In God We Trust"


Florida became the twenty-seventh state in the United States on March 3, 1845.
Florida had not adopted an official state motto until June 22, 2006. Governor Jeb Bush signed a House Bill adopting
In God We Trust as the official state motto of Florida on July 1, 2006.





Before I leave for  parts unknown, there 2 places I have been before, that I must see again.   I’ll first start at the bottom to see the CATMAN!!  Every time I go to Key West, I  must see the Cats that jump through FIRE! Oh My!



On the way out, up and over to the west coast,  I’ll stop at the Edison & Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers. 




Then on to Tallahassee, where I have never been, to see the old and new capitol buildings. 


The Historic Florida Capitol structure was built in 1895 

The New Capitol was finished in 1977.

Ohio, The Buckeye State.

State Motto - “With God All Things Are Possible”


           The State of Ohio celebrates Ohio statehood on March 1. The reason for this is because the Ohio General Assembly met for the first time on this day in 1803. In reality, Ohio became a state on February 19, 1803, when President Jefferson endorsed the United States Congress's decision to grant Ohio statehood. www.ohiohistorycentral.org
