Quite honestly, I don’t think I could accomplish what I do without the help from my wonderful family. I hired a college girl last summer from the art department to paint six plywood signs for our spring craft show (The Signs of Spring Craft Show April 10th at the Buffalo County Fairgrounds.) Yes, that’s another fun thing I do. Here it is almost time to put the advertising signs up and she never came through. Now, it’s up to the Martin clan to make it happen, captain. I sweet talked all of them. Tim lined up heat & saw horses and arranged a place to work out in our old trailer house we use for storage. There is no electricity out there either so everything has to happen in the daylight. Saturday morning my daughter, Sydney, Tim and I worked to get one coat of primer on six boards. We went in for warm soup, gave them time to dry and headed out for the back coat. After church, Syd and I picked out paint colors and headed for home. In the afternoon, Tim, Sydney and Sage went out to give each board a fresh coat of yellow so I could stay inside and work on the Untapped Potential designs. Now the fun begins. I’ve printed off letters on my computer, laminated them and cut them out. We’ll start measuring out the signs and tracing the stencils. In between Singing Around Nebraska and a junior high basketball tournament this weekend, maybe we’ll be able to get started. They help because they love me; they are learning skills to help them in their adult lives and all in all they are helping people and changing lives!
