Concerts, Co-Ops, and Fundraisers - Oh My!!

On Friday I was lucky enough to get to shoot the bands who were at the 11th Street Cowboy Bar. The Hawkes, opening up for Charlie Robison. Good Ol' Charlie is a Bandera hometown boy, and very very good. But the Hawkes surprised me. I'd never heard of them but they were quite good! I had a great time listening to them, I only wish James could've joined me there instead of babysitting the kidlets. We could've "cut a rug", so to speak :)

and then Charlie


After many many purchases from other co-ops, I have finally been asked to do a co-op of my own products! I'm excited and flattered :D
I got about 16 orders, which thrills me.. not too bad at all, for my first one! I worked straight through a day and got all of them made, shipped out all but 3 packages today (and those will go out when I get shipping info on them). My kitchen floor was filled with Pail Pardner and Rump Solution LOL



And finally, I bring you the information on the First Annual Lil' Outlaws Breast Cancer Awareness Fundraiser!

That's it for now.. more later - for now I'm tired and my thumb hurts (cut it on a broken soap mold that came in the mail today.. cry.)
