Well... play dough was a hit since I couldn't use any form of FOOD... surprisingly because home made playdough is made from kitchen ingredients! Anyhow.... I don't think I'll do it next Thurs. There was a lot of rift raft people there... and the ones that I would have loved to talk just smiled
and basically went on! I am not trying to judge anyone.... buit it was very weird!!
Out of my drawing slips I got a lot of yes and maybes for shows and selling... but not sure but guessing only a 1/3 of them are quality people.
Anyhow... I liked all the potatoe jokes... kind of funny since where Quayle is from is only 15 min from my house!!!
