Nikole welcome home!

Sounds like you had a great time traveling, I can't wait for you to sort through those photo's......I am sure Shawn is okay with you posting all 1500 of them and we will help you.  LOL (Shawn is laying on the floor deep breathing just thinking about it) 

Changes are okay, more for you than us since we won't get to see or hear about all the excitement you get when you create a new puppet to sell......but I do understand.....I hope that you keep the excitement up with any puppets you make for personal use. 

I hope the search for a new place to lay your hat (or puppets) goes smoothly and we can hear about all the adventure that you will be going through until you settle down in your new land.  It sounds like a nice place to live. 

I know wherever you go you and your puppets will be well received and the talent for bringing them to life will shine through.  You won't only be doing "his" school but you will be doing many places.  Just my gut feeling!

Again......welcome back

Daryl H
