Yes, but the thing is, each task must quickly be turned over to someone else to do it THEIR way-- so that it's not just the Susan show, and so I don't burn out. Keep reminding me! Cuz I think actually I can see this turning into a house-concert-coffeehouse here! Right in my house, and geeze, why not, it's big enough. I could have four jam rooms going on, indoors, right now.

I need a bigger coffeepot....

Did you know that if you pop a bag of microwave popcorn, the smell makes people hungry and willing to pay anything to get a snack and a drink? Discovered that by accident at a church hotdog sale. We popped a bag every half hour and ate it ourselves while selling a couple dozen dogs per bag! Yes! As soon as we would pop a fresh one the sales would leap! We threw out a lot of stale popcorn but we sold a lot of cookies and dogs!

I always wanted to be a maven. *G*

Now, who's gonna stencil me some signage on canvas for the front yard..... vecro on, velcro off, zap!

Seriously-- what is making this work is taking one inspiration at a time, and not trying to see too far ahead, and doing things as they come to me instead of forcing them.
