I’m in my happy place and there is junk all around me. All kinds of things to be used and turned into something amazing. You all know I love Waco. So here I am shopping some of my favorite stores. Had a list of wants and needs and I found a few of those things. Also found a few “not sure what this will be but it’s so cool” things. If I’m in Waco I always stop at the Silo’s....

My sweet daughter has waited for her dresser to be finished. I started it way before my surgery but didn’t get it done. It has set in my workshop for weeks but today I delivered it to her.
