Today's featured artist is: CabinHollow. For over 20 years this great artist has been creating with metal. From wall art to yard art is it very easy to see that each piece is created by hand and with the care of an artist. There are so many great items in this studio, it was hard to choose, but for some reason, this one caught my eye. Please go check out this amazing studio and look at all the great creations. Remember, always support handmade artists if you can, they create because they love to!!

Today I want to leave you with this thought;
Remember that just the moment you say; "I give up," someone else is seeing the same situation is saying, "My, what a great opportunity."
I'm eagerly awaiting the announcement of my partner in Lori's 7th BSBP! I'm so excited to be apart of this party. Now I just need to work on putting together my soup for my partner!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly seems like you've been quite the busy lady this week/weekend! I definitely agree with you, so much to do and it's both exciting and definitely overwhelming a bit.
Have a wonderful week my friend :)
I am so excited about all the things that are happening right now in my life.... I feel like I am just 'along for the ride'!! THANK YOU @Kayla for always supporting me!! ~KM
