I did not do as well at the Holiday boutique last Saturday as I had done in the three previous ones but I did manage to sell a few cards and since it was a new to me venue, got some additional exposure. It was free to participate and they only asked for a 20% donation from the total profit so I’m afraid they didn’t make very much money from me. It was also raining very hard off and on all day so that may have kept some people away. At any rate, that was my last show for this year. Now I can start working to build up the inventory again. I’m also going to keep my eyes open for opportunities throughout the year next year so it doesn’t all come down to the last few months.
On to the December Reflections posts, Day 6 was “Angel.” I didn’t take a selfie and didn’t find any other angels to take pictures of so I missed that day.
Day 7 was “Favorite Photo of 2019” and there are so many but here are three.

| Sunset at the beach |
Day 8 was “Quiet” and I used this picture of the sky. The quiet before the storm. It has been pretty rainy here this week.
Today’s prompt is “Biggest Change of 2019.” I think losing 57 pounds since March is a pretty big change.

Also, getting the studio in the backyard and adding Benny to our lives were pretty big too.

Thanks Jacqui. I was hoping to make it look that way. It gets a little hard when no one is buying what you’re selling 🙂

It always surprises me, Kate, as I look back over the year to see the things I did or that happened. I think I live a boring mundane life and yet…

It’s good to have an overall perspective. A lot of times someone is glad to see the year turn over because something bad happened in the last few months but the beginning of the year was great!

Well, you made a little money and tested out a new venue. There’s a win in there.

LOL, John, Benny can be. We are still going through some learning curves. I sold some cards that I had made a while ago too so it is nice to get rid of old product. Thanks for stopping by!

I used Dance for 2019 but I don’t think I paid enough attention to it except for the beginning of the year when I took an online “dance” class.

I’m impressed you know where you started and got off track. I’m still scratching my head trying to remember what my word was? I think it was creative. Hmm…. I look forward to seeing what word you pick for 2020. Vision keeps popping up 😉
