How Many Days Till The Longest Yard Sale On Rt127

The Thursday Night Women's Networking Hour

I had to cancel tonight's show to help take care of my grandmother. She is recovering from 3 broken ribs. The show will resume next week.

Also I am canceling the Janet Reads Jane Austen segment tonight also. Next week I plan to start over and only read for 15 minutes. Reading for 30 min was awful for me and for you who listened. This will be much better. Thanks for your patience.

Show and Tell Monday

Many of us at Make Mine Pink participate in a "Show and Tell Monday." We show our new creations or new items we have for sale.

My newest items are made to order quilt blocks. I have posted pictures of 5 new quilt block patterns you can purchase individually or as a kit on my website.

New Items Added In May

Show and Tell Monday

I love show and tell Mondays because it gives me a chance to share with everyone what I'm working on, new products and to celebrate with all my pink sisters at Make Mine Pink.

Besides adding some vintage handkerchiefs, a vintage dresser scarf, and a feed sack I have finished these products myself.

Radio Hosting

When I was a teenager Wolfman Jack was the king of the radio. I loved listening to him and always wanted to be a radio show on late night rock. In my 20's we would drive to the top of town mountain at night so we could listen to a similiar show out of Kingsport TN. Town Mountain was the only place in Hazard you could hear that radio show from. Well I have mellowed out some and now do have my own radio show. It is called the Wednesday Lunch Bunch on http://blogtalkradio.com/janetinky

The format of my show is for and about women. I interview women business owners, women who work in non-profit, and really women from all walks of life. Join us each Wednesday at 12:00 p.m. est to hear my show. If you would like to be interviewed please send me a message from http://blogtalkradio.com/janetinky or leave a comment on this blog.
