It's all white- again!

Just when we were thinking we would be able to shut down the woods stove and start sanding and spraying outside, it's back. The white stuff. This winter has to be the longest one of my life. Lets face it, your sick of the snow and you probably work inside. Now try and carve in the blowing wind and snow- IN APRIL! It's enough to make anyone want to throw the saw in and head for warmer weather. We've got smud, smud everywhere! (that would be snow and mud if you were wondering). I Saw It In Minnesota started this month out in the wonderful city of Duluth for the home show up there. We had a huge booth and brought 3 truck and trailers full of stuff. I don't know how many people realise how much work it is when you are a vendor at one of these shows. We met a lot of really great people though- customers and vendors alike. We debuted Joe's mother wolf carving there.

People really seemed to like it. We also sold a lot of our cedar log swing and bear combo's since they are on sale. Although the people who ordered them probably thought they would be using them by APRIL 19th. All this shoveling has really gotten to us I think. Joe's been giving away stuff on Facebook. Now he is giving away the cutest little red cedar bear on May 1st to someone who likes our page. The last couple winners were so thrilled. We sent an eagle out to one winner in California last week for the April drawing. My hope for May 1st is 70 degrees and sunshine, who am I kidding? I'd be happy as long as there were no snow....
