I would love to have my own store. My store would be a crafty beading shop and I would name it after my blog. A shop where all would love to come and spend hours …I would serve free coffee and teas to my customers and they could have a comfy seat and browse through crafting and beading books and shop at their leisure. I would have free classes as long as they buy their supplies from me. That has been my dream for a very very long time.

I love the job that I have right now – working with families who have children with delays. I get to travel around our wonderful, beautiful part of Montana, I set my own schedule and I LOVE seeing the progress the children make. In the evenings and weekends, I do my crafting. When I retire, I would love to work in a craft store, just to see what is new – products, projects, etc.

My “Job” would be teaching and learning from grand-daughter, Jolie, (Jo-Jo!) how to Quilt, do crafts, and painting, creating things together as we learn, reading, fishing, everything with nature, ~she’s going to love Appliqueing!, making puzzles out of everything!, like a map of the world, or all the different birds, fish, etc. Making her Doll house together, and furniture. Knitting and crocheting. Cooking, traveling, and this is just the WORK part of it! LOL! The fun part is going to the park, walking, planting our garden, which she has already started doing at age 3! AMAZING JOB and my privilege! I only wish she could stay all the time or I had 6 more like her to fill up my entire week, all year long! Thanks Jo-Jo for making life so much fun again! <3

Nice collection for the 4th. It is hard to say what job I would want. I am retired and haven’t really thought about it. I guess I would say it would be owning and operating a roller rink. Haven’t been able to skate in years but I used to love to and wish I had kept up with it more; aybe I would be in better shape now if I had. Thank you for the chance to win.

My favorite hobby has to do with making miniatures, so naturally I’d like to find a job where I’d actually get paid for creating tiny things that replicate our “real life” housewares. Of course, this would mean I’d have to have a much bigger craft room to work from with MANY, MANY more supplies!
