Yesterday i thought it would be fun to go on a bike ride (just to set the stage, we live on the second floor, my bike lives upstairs in the laundry room)…so i geared up…shorts, shirt, helmet, shoes, gloves, sunglasses. Walked out the door, got to the bottom of the stairs…no bike. Really, i walked downstairs without my bike…to go on a bike ride. So I went back up to get my bike. Water is nice to have on a bike ride so I grabbed a water bottle and filled it up. Walked out the door back downstairs, still no bike. At least I had my water bottle now. Back up the stairs. This time i made it out of the house with my bike…but really…i walked all the way down without my bike 2 times….in all my bike gear….to go on a bike ride.

There are a lot of talented people i the world, I am honored to know a few of them.

It’s awesome to see people who are doing what God created for them…i might right about that later, but for now here are two you should check out.

First is Cass Harris

I talk about Cass a lot on this blog, but he has some new music out. Listen to this one:

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

You can download some of his music free at www.cassharrismusic.com.

Next is Freewater, which is our friends Jared and Lauren.

Check out this video:

You can find there music on their label’s page.

By the way, if you like their stuff tell people about it…thats the best way you can support them.

Remember how all I’ve been talking about lately is the Indie Emporium?

(It’s Oct. 29th & 30th…and tickets are now available!!! Click here for details.)

Well, I’ve decided what I’m going to purchase if I make enough at the IE.

This beauty: Paper Source Letterpress Machine

Just thinking of all the awesome cards I could make with this is super-exciting.

I’ll keep you posted.

I’ve been busy (read: taken over the living room floor) creating cards & trying to build up my inventory in preparation for The Indie Emporium later this month. I am SO excited to be able to participate this year!  Some of my recent fun crafting finds have been vintage postcards.  Like these:

(Please forgive the quality of the pictures!!!)

This one is Pikes Peak in CO.

And check out the back!

Did you catch that date, friends? Aug. 24, ’08. That would be 1908. This card was mailed 102 years ago!

This one just makes me laugh:

Do you see what I see? Right on the edge of this gold printed design…is a big reindeer butt! (Does anyone else think that’s odd?) This one was mailed in 1909. 101 years ago.

These cards are old! And I’m really excited to turn them into newfound treasures for someone at this show.
