Wonder

Somedays I just wonder at the behavior at those around me. There are times when I can go weeks without talking to my father and then out of the blue he calls as if nothing is amiss. I wonder what it is like to live in a state of denial. I love him don't get me wrong, I just amazed at the polar opposite personalities he has from day to day.

Today has been a real busy one. For one Toy Story die cuts take for ever to cut and piece together. I am still down almost 10 orders and more keep coming in. I am very thankful for this but feel a little overwhelmed today. Thank goodness my daughter is my assistant in training and she is working so hard. Today she said mom I feel like crying. I asked why and she said I want to make these perfect like you do. I just got teary eyed and reassured her that she was doing a great time and she would get faster as time goes on.

It amazed me that she feels that I make them perfectly. Kids are full of endless wonder and I want to cherish these moments while they last. She 14 and these moments are slipping by so quickly.

Remember the July Giveaways starts this upcoming weekend be sure to stop by on July 1st and become a follower and leave a comment to qualify.

Until next time. When was the last time you felt like you were in a state of wonder?

Well I am catching up.

I am finally going to be catching up on all the orders that I received this week. My helper is home and we set up a payment schedule for her and she is so excited. She even suckered her dad out of an itunes card today.

I have joined many new blogs this week as well and some of these lovely ladies have great giveaways you should go over and check out:

I am super happy to say that my daughter comes home tomorrow. I have missed her more than words can say. Although she has called everyday it is not the same. She told me today that she cannot wait to start helping me with my etsy shoppe. Now of course mom will pay her to help.

I have a couple major orders to work on this weekend. I will be posting pictures of the peace sign, hearts and stars cupcake toppers that I just made and I will also be making more safari stuff too. '

I am also blogging on facebook and I have became fans of my interesting and lovely ladies on there. I will post links to their pages hopefully later this weekend. Starting July 1st, I am going to do a mystery die cut giveaway at the beginning of every month. This month you have until midnight July 3rd to leave a comment and I will choose the winner sometime on July 4th. Please leave me a way to contact you.

To enter to win all you have to do is become a follower and tell my your favorite die cut cartridge or set and why. The winner will receive 6 3" die cuts and some odds and ends too. US addresses only at this time.

Talk to soon.

Busy Busy Busy

Well Folks, I am still a busy little bee and I am loving it. I have only had time to complete half of my craft area and I am loving the new organization so far. I can only imagine what it will be like once it is all completed. Maybe this weekend when my assistant comes home from vacation.

Goodness I really miss her. She is such a beautiful human being. She has called her mama everyday sometimes three times a day. It makes me feel missed and needed that she calls. I think she is ready to come home too. I think us girls are going to have a nice mommy and daughter day when she gets home.

I also think that we are going to have a late Father's day celebration since she was away this last Sunday. Pineapple upside down cake is in my hubby's future.

Well lets hope for a completed room and lots of orders. Have a great week and talk to you real soon.

I am super excited about this. I have been wanting to do this for a long time and I hope this brings in some traffic for my etsy shoppe. We had a lonely Father's day here since Natalie is still on vacation and will not be coming home until Saturday. I sure do miss her like crazy.

Just thought I would share a few teasers on my upcoming projects.

Princess Tiara Wands. I think these will come out wonderful

Cowboy and Cowgirl themed party goodies

Disney Cars Table Toppers.

I will post pictures as soon as I get these made and listed on Etsy.

Have a great week everyone.

It's gonna be a Good Day

Don't you love when you wake up and feel great inside and out. I woke up humming "Your Beautiful" I am sitting here listening to my cricut machine cutting away and I am deciding what new item I am going to create today.

I have been wanting to create princess wands that little girls could carry around at parties and I came up with a great concept, so maybe that will be the winner. On the other hand I want to create a few other Olivia the Pig related items. Choices , Choices.

So what are your plans this Father's Day. I am going to enjoy the day with my hubby since our daughter is still on vacation and I think I will make breakfast and then cuddle on the couch until he has to head into work.
