Snow

I love waking up to snow gently falling on the ground! What a beautiful site!! Since switching jobs, I have come to appreciate cold weather and snow too....I have been told we "want cold weather"...never thought I would say that...but it definitely helps business and keeps us going!

I also woke up this morning to a scratchy throat...UGH! We leave Friday for Vegas....and I am hoping and praying I am not coming down with anything. I feel fine...it just annoying.  I checked my throat (yes mom)...no spots....I can't even hardly tell it is swollen...so hoping some Cold Eeze, advil and vitamins kick it in the butt!

This weekend was so busy...but wonderful! I had the best time with my family and enjoyed every minute together.  My sister has put pictures on her blog so if you would like to see more than just the one...be sure to check it out here

My Dad is an amazing man....and I am so thankful to have him in my life. I love you Dad!

Off to get ready for work.  Happy Snow Day!

Happy 60th Birthday Dad!!

Cant' wait to see my Dad this evening and have our immediate family all together to help my Dad celebrate his 60th birthday!

I will write more about all this later....I am off to prep for my busy day!! I love you Dad!

Phew!

What a weekend it has been! I am EXHAUSTED! My sister and I left after I got off work on Friday night and drove up to my parents house to spend the night. The next morning we were all up by 5:30 and on the road an hour later headed to set up for the Me Market.

We got everything set up just in time before it began at 9:00.  My Mom's tupperware tables were right next to my tables...so it was fun to be so close to her.  She sold lots of Tupperware! Good job Mom! You are quite the sales lady!! :)  And THANK YOU KID!!! My sister ROCKS and she was SO helpful to me!! (sorry about the ceramic!!)

I didn't do to bad myself.  I had several orders that were placed, sold some cash N carry items, and I even sold some of my Anna Phyllis handbags and my rag quilt!  I even have a special request to make a couple more handbags! I must say....the Mizzou bag was a hit!! (even though they lost...boo!)

Thank you to all of you who came out! It was great to see you all!!! And a BIG thank you to everyone who bought something!

I have a Holiday Open House this coming Saturday here in the area...and I can't wait to tell you all about it!  I am really looking forward to this event....and I am really looking forward to Saturday night....my family is all getting together to celebrate our Dad's 60th birthday....my parents will be spending the night with us as well as my brother and SIL....I can't wait to have the whole family together. :)

Today has been a day of craziness in our garage....I am so tired! Hubby is still out there now working on his project.....I won't share with you till it is done....but oh my...sure do know how to make a mess!

I had better get some more laundry finished...Happy Sunday night!

The Dark

I have been so tired in the evenings this week. Getting home around the time the sun is going down....makes for a long night.  I have been going to be so early! It has been easier getting up in the mornings....but not sure I am getting as much accomplished at night!

Maybe, I will get in a routine soon.

I have all my Thirty-One products boxed up, labeled and ready to go for Saturday. I have been finishing up a few products with my handmade items too. I am not sure how many handmade items I will display and sell...I am thinking I am going to test the water and see what happens.  I think my 31 items are going to over take my display (which is fine by me).  Plus......I just want to see what kind of response I will get with just a few of my items....and I will post the rest on etsy.

Hoping for a great turn out Saturday.  Should be lots of fun! My sister will be sitting with me...and our Mom is having her tupperware tables right next to mine!  I know a few other ladies that will be having tables too....so hoping to see a lot of people I know and meet new faces too!

I am LOVING my full-time job! It is one of the best decisions ever! God truly knew what he was doing! My manager I have always enjoyed working with and for...and when the opportunity came to work for her again...I just had to jump at it...even if it was a cut in pay....she is so inspiring, encouraging and challenges me!! I am learning so much from her....and am excited about all the opportunities it is giving me.  The added bonus...is that I go home for lunch when I want to....and it is such a great change!

I hope to take some pictures of this weekend...I will be sure to post!
