OpinionatedLady I used to do very well at the shows but the economy hit the circuit pretty bad in our area. No one has the money. I have recently started back up and have made the price of my table back and a few extra dollars. It isn't going to make so you can quit your day...

OpinionatedLady I too am a stay at home and in truth I think that makes it worse. It is me who he has the most anxiety over my leaving. Hubby and the kids can come and go no problem but I leave and psycho dogs come outs. He loses his hair, vomits and poos everywhere. If I am...

OpinionatedLady They pay for the entrance fees and a rental fees and a few other things. The government has cut back so much funding they couldn't afford to pay for the whole thing. It is a good thing for her and though it may cost us some money she will get to visit another...

OpinionatedLady I have never used the lavender on meat, I will have to try it. I usually make a few jars of lavender sugar with fresh flowers and use it to make pound cakes and sugar cookies. I like the lightly floral taste it gives to the baked goods.
