Outside My Comfort Zone, Here I Come!!

June 1, 2011

I have been painting, sanding, painting, sanding, painting, sanding for the past two months, and finally Metrolina is here!!!! Tomorrow, I will be sharing a booth with my friend and artist Tracy Frank for the next four days. I am so excited but I am also very nervous. What if it rains, what if nobody buys anything, are my prices too high, are my prices too low, what if I have to go to the bathroom and there is no one to watch my booth? These are just a few of the thoughts that are keeping me up at night.

I feel like I have been putting myself out there ALOT lately, doing ALOT of things outside my comfort zone. It is scary to try new things, but once you do it and see that you can do it, it feels so great! You only live once and life is short. I could fail miserably this weekend but at least I tried and gave it everything I’ve got!! Please say a little prayer and come see us!

Here are some before and after shots of some of the things I will be bringing with me!

    Love all your painted furniture pieces. I have been doing a lot of that, too and need to branch out and start finding some cheap pieces to makeover and sell. Glad to find your blog.
