Work?

Okay, I have two jobs these days. One I do transcription for insurance companies. I love to type so that part of it is okay, but to be honest, I see this job as work. It takes up the bulk of my day each day. Then there's this other job that I have....I work at a craft store! But how can I call it work when I LOVE it! I'm their new papercrafts and scrapbooking instructor. My good friend, Wendy, got me the job when I didn't even know that I wanted another job. She's the one in charge of getting instructors, she loves my stuff and talked me into it. It's so FUN to play with all the new items on the market and have people gush about my projects! Also, when I'm in the store and not in the back creating I love helping customers. I'll go over into the scrapbook section or whatever to get a ribbon or flowers or paper for a project I'm working on and then I'll see someone looking and I just have to ask them if I can help them. I think crafters as a whole are a happy bunch and so it's fun chatting with new people. It makes me smile from ear to ear. I also do demos on Saturdays of new products. Or the kids club on Saturday mornings. I'm beat by the time I'm done, but it is SO worth it. The fun part is Wendy lives at the top of the same cul de sac that I do so we ride in together. Such fun! We get to chat all the way to and from the store. The boys and Dan are so supportive in me doing this. It's time away from them but it's not every day so they like it when a happy, but tired mom comes home. Gotta love this job!
