jewelry randomness...

I recently had some "issues" with 2 of my suppliers- one sent me the wrong chains and the other took 3 weeks to ship my envelopes.

*sigh*

So I got kind of backed up :(

I've been working hard to catch back up... I stayed up late last night and filled my stand with orders ready to ship...



I'm heading to the po with a mountain of envelopes... when I see all of these packages I'm overwhemled by the amount of support for my business, I appreciate all of my customers so much!

I'm also so thankful my mother in law owns a mail shop so I never have to wait in line with my mountain of packages and 1-4 kids with me!

I'm almost totally caught up :)

Then my family can have their kitchen table back!

I love this custom order...



It's the "I love you to the moon and back" moon necklace with an added name charm, sooo cute! I will add it to the shop!

I'm also loving the new cursive font, isn't it cute?





Shealynn is having a giveaway right now for this one...



you can also bid on it here, starting at just .99 on ebay!!!!

Hope you have a fab Thursday!

Check back tomorrow for something fun :)

my Jonah Balona Sharona...

today was a special day...



my Jonah bear turned...



so we had a little party...



happy birthday JT...



hope all your "wishes" come true!

sweet treats...

Today is IvyLane's "sweets shoppe" launch on eBay!

I found some cute clay charms to make some pieces out of, it was fun to bead again, I don't bead very often anymore!

Isn't this little bunny soooo cute?



and these euro lollipops are super sweet!



Both are starting at just .99!!! Go HERE to see them!

Also, one of our bow girls Jamie of **jjbb** is giving away the CUTEST bubblegum bows on our blog...



Just go here to enter!

show off...

great grandma is in town...





Eden decided to show off some of her tricks for Great Grandma.

First, she showed her how she can lick the glass door- and I mean really lick and slobber all over it...



Then she crawled to the side table



and proceeded to eat it...









I'm quite certain Great Grandma was impressed...



I am so proud...

the tie...

today was creative dress day at school... meaning they could wear whatever they wanted.

Jonah wanted to wear a tie "like Daddy"...

unfortunately Daddy is out of town on business.

and Mommy has never tied a tie.

so we called Daddy, and he gave me directions via cell phone...



using words like "fat side" and "skinny side"...



and it's not perfect by any means...



but not too bad for my first try, huh?



Jonah thought it was great :)

then little sister crawled over to play...



she loves her "bubby"...







they make me smile :)

be still my mommy heart...

is any Mom out there not completely flattered and touched...




when your little girl wants to be "just like you"?

take pictures like you...



she knows to check her settings...





and check the picture, make sure it's crisp...



then she whips out "her" beads...



because she has to do some "work"...



and make a bracelet... that says "i love u"...





I love this girl...

i am loved...

new on ebay...



a whimsical copper heart that is hammered and handstamped, then hung on a sterling chain.

started at .99 and NO reserve!

find it here!

clear perspective...

look what I just bought...



isn't it beautiful? I couldn't resist.

It's from my friend Pampering Beki.

It's for a good cause.

I read it. I cried for them. I hugged my kids a little harder.

Puts the importance of "things" into perspective for sure.

girl time...

Tessa and I snuck away yesterday to get our nails done...



We now have dark fuschia nails with white flowers, Tessa's pick :)

It's sooooo nice having time alone with just one kid, they are a totally different person when there is no one else around!

happy heart day!

nothing says I love you...



quite like a heart shaped pizza for dinner...



a heart shaped cake with heart shaped candies for dessert...



and a good bowling match for entertainment...



All 3 kids want their own pair of bowling shoes now.

An added bonus: I won...



And yes, I used the bumpers :)

Ryan and I go out for OUR night tomorrow night.

Happy Valentine's!!!

have I mentioned...

lately...



how much I adore...



this baby?



she always puts me in a better mood :)
