Celebrating Today

Whew! A wonderful, but hectic holiday season has come to an end. I was so blessed to play a part in so many gifts in 2012. I had over 1,000 orders placed (many with multiple items) between the Etsy site and the website and it was wonderful! I thank you all for trusting me to make you something special.

I am looking forward to 2013 and another great year. There are so many new products coming down the line and I am very excited to share them with you here!

I hope you all have a blessed new year filled with much to celebrate!

Celebrating Today

It is starting to look like Fall here. The leaves are starting to change and the temperatures have dropped. This is the view behind our home right now.

I am beginning to stock up on materials for holiday production. Lots of mailers, boxes, chains and raw materials have been showing up on our doorstep. I have a few more orders to place and then the chaos will begin!

I have also purchased a few new alphabet sets. Watch for some fun new designs to appear in the shop soon!

Celebrating Your Holiday

I think I have hit my stride. I have a method now that allows me to get a lot more pieces of jewelry done in a single day. I have also had the time to watch my kids decorate this beautiful tree. It has been in four homes now and I think this is my favorite place yet! It can be seen from the street and is so pretty.

There is still time to get holiday delivery, although that will be closing fast! Be sure to visit the shop and get those orders in quickly! Get a great personal gift to put under your beautiful tree!

Celebrating The Busy Season

Thanksgiving has come and gone. My daughter's birthday was yesterday and my husband's is today. I have 53 necklaces to ship. Laundry needs to be done and groceries need to be purchased. Christmas exploded out of our attic all over our dining room and needs to be dealt with. To say I am busy is an understatement, but I am grateful for this time of year.

Free shipping in THE SHOP on everything today. I am not sure how long it will last, so act quickly!

Celebrating Rain

It has been raining like crazy here lately. A little rain is good, but monsoon season is a problem. My daughter was smart though and took this photo of the sunroof of our car. It was after she was literally soaked by the distance she walked from her school to the bus in the torrential rain. I love that she can see the beauty, even in the inconvenience.

It makes a mother proud!

Celebrating At My Home

This necklace was created and shipped for a serviceman currently serving in Iraq. I was honored to make this for him and include a birthday note for someone he loves. My father is a veteran and I certainly appreciate the sacrifice this family is making.

I went on an wonderful shopping trip with a friend yesterday. If you have to run errands, it is so much more fun with a friend! And, as an extra bonus, we shared the most wonderful meal I have had in a LONG time!

On tap for us this weekend is to get lots of little jobs done around the house. We are moving out in about a month now and time is ticking! I am certainly looking forward to the end result, but the process is daunting.
