Kathleen's

All of which leads me to introduce you to
Sis boom ba! Creations by my family that I now sell at Kathleen's.

This August, for a week, my three sisters, my mom, niece, daughter-in-law and the grand- daughters spent a week at my house, each of us doing the artsy-craftsy stuff we love to do.

My mother, at age 91 embroiders, my sister Bonnie is a great (and fast) quilter. My sister Linda is a talented

seamstress, and my sister D'Ann owns a graphic design firm in Dallas and is really the artist in the bunch.

My niece Cindy, and my daughter-in-law

Michelle, both love to scrapbook so they

inspired us with all the materials and tools

that come with that hobby.

My great nephew Tanner & granddaughters

Kathy and Hailie were the real kids in the

bunch and kept us all energized with their

boundless energy and enthusiasm.

As for myself, I'm more of a 'putzer and

dabbler' as well as the idea person for

merchandising our creative endeavours.

So we decided that we were going to buy as

minimal an amount of supplies as possible &

instead reuse found or free objects, or stuff

that we ALREADY HAD to create new

things. Then we decided we'd try to market

our collective creations at Kathleen's - hence

Sis boom ba!
