Bloom Craft Studio

So, it has begun. Bloom has been officially approved by Mike Neighbors. And i'll be looking for voluteers soo let me know if you would like to join the Bloom Petals :)

The Bloom dream came to me at 3am Sept 3rd of this year. I've been praying for a way to use my gifts and encourage and recruit other peoplem to be a part of it. (can you tell i really miss that part of Mary Kay?) As you all know, i can't stop making things. Knitting, sowing, videos, and anything else that might peak my interest at any time. So i thought that a place to do these things would just work great. There isn't any thing out there right now that works that way. If you go to a craft store to a class of some sort 1. you usually have to buy your supplies there 2. you can't just show up and use the place to work on a project 3. It's expensive 4. you won't meet as cool of people as you would at a place like Bloom. What better place to do this than at our new building at Grace? So we asked for the Lunchroom. It is going to be perfect! We'll post pictures soon.

I'm sure you guys can come up with other reasons why it will be a great place to work, meet, mingle, encourage, grow and bloom.. i want to hear it from you.


Brian will be working on a Website soon. We will be having a meeting with the a potential core team to see who wants a chunk of responsibility and who wants just a bite. Right now we have in place our beautiful "Designing Women" Stephanie Miear and Kelly Portnoy. I love these girls! I am so proud of my self for picking the most talented designing women that i know! I know i did the right thing. So i call them both up and tell them the news yesterday that we had approval for our very own space. Kelly goes to the church, takes pictures of the room and with in hours they get together and have the entire plan down. OH MY GOSH they are GENIUSES!! MAD PROPS TO MY GIRLS!! i'm soo excited.. you guys are AMAZING!

Now if only i can live up to this, and follow thru the best way i can to make this work. I'm so thankful that the Body of Christ works this way. Those that have gifts in certain areas can do what they do best, making the rest of us look great :) i'm so thankful right now i'm bursting with fruit flavor right now! Yeshua is so good. He satisfies you with good things. More on all of this soon.

What an original thinker you are! That's one of the things I love most about you. I'm so glad that this has worked out-what a wonderful idea!

ps while at heather's I wore her knitted hat that you made her. I loved it-warm but not itchy like wool can be-what are the chances of getting one of those bad boys for myself??? :)
