I took my Dolls to The West Texas Fair yesterday... Who would think I would start shaking and couldn't speak? Not me, that is for sure... I'am never at a loss for words. I can never say that again..
They start drooling over my dolls and I was in shock.. I guess I thought there were going to be others that were so much better than myself. I just really think anyone can do what I do.
For those who don't know, Texas isn't big on Primitives.. I had to tell them what a primitive was and my dolls are up agaist "pretty CLEAN looking dolls".. Oh my Goodness, I'll be lucky to get a ribbon! I think they were drooling because they knew they were going to win a ribbon and not me.
As I was getting ready to leave the Fair, A lady asked me if I would mind teaching her how to sculpt? She said she knows a bunch of church ladies that want to learn as well.. Of course I wouldn't be getting paid for it but It sure would be great fun.
I'll be going to the fair on Friday and I hope to find out if I placed and if I will at least get a ribbon. I'll take some pictures of the fair and post them soon.
Wish me luck!
