a door closes

By now, my local Kinnon Keepsakes friends, you should have received the email from Amy. If you haven't, you can read it here.

Amy has decided to close the store after six years of business. All of us at Kinnon Keepsakes are heartbroken over this decision, but it was one she had to make. The girls I've worked with have become like family. I've made friends and been inspired by them. I've grown as an artist and as a teacher. I've truly enjoyed working for Amy since the beginning.

Though I'm sad, I am trying to approach this like the saying says.... when a door closes, a window opens. I have decided that here is where my word for the year, cause, should be lighting up like a neon sign. I need to be responsible for where my path will take me next. I have some things in the works which I will reveal in a little while. The kids go back to school next week and I can go at it full force then.

I hope to see you, my Kinnon Keepsakes friends, at some point in the future. I hope you will continue to keep in touch through my blog and email.

I hope you will walk with me on my new path.

I to am heart broken over the news about Kinnon. I told my husband, "I am going to save you some money now". I am sure whatever you choose to do, will be a great experience also. You are VERY talented in what you do. Please keep us posted on your next adventure. Talk to you soon.
