Birthday party!

Well it's 1:00am Saturday the 27th, and those of you who know me well know that I'm never up this late! There is a good reason. Tomorrow is Brianna's 1st birthday, and I'm still up preparing for it! Just wanted to show everyone some pics of the things I made for her. I've been taking some cake classes and I am really enjoying them. They seemed to have paid off! Hope everyone is doing well, hopefully I will have some good news to share with everyone on Tuesday!

New product!

The thing I miss most about not working at Strictly any more is getting to play with all the new product. Well that changed today! I'm making samples for the OC expo with this new line from GCD...The designer is the fabulous Melody Ross. Let me just say I LOVE THIS LINE!! She has two lines out. This one is called Homespun Chic. I will make samples with the other line called Artsy Urban tomorrow. Strictly will be the only store selling this at the expo, so come early and stock up!

A Layout!

So guess what I did New years Eve.....Yup you guessed it..I scrapbooked! It was so fast & easy. I knew exactly where everything was! (My friend helped me organize my entire SB room last week..Thank you!) I love these 2 pic's of myself with my kids. I can't believe how big they are getting. No matter how big, they will always be my "Chick-a-dees"

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year ! I hope that 2010 brings everyone lots of blessings. 2009 was bitter sweet for alot of us. I won't say this year will be stress free, because that will just be unrealistic, but I will accept anything that comes my way, deal with it in the most positive way I know how, & move on. I will enjoy & embrace any blessings big or small this year, & hope you do the same. So here's to you...wishing you a blessed and prosperous 2010.

Breakfast with Santa

Sorry I've been gone so long. You would think since I'm not working I would have more time to blog! Well that's what I thought too! I'm just so busy! Well last weekend we had Breakfast with Santa with our cousins. It was fun. Karissa meet Santa, had breakfast, decorated a cookie and ornament, and Santa finished the morning with a Christmas story for the kids. It was great!

Thanks for your prayers

Our Jo Jo left for Afghanistan on Wednesday. I just want to say thank you to everyone that took the time to call her. She said she is a little nervous because she doesn't know what to except. I know in my heart she will be fine. With prayer I know Joanna will be back safe. Thank you again for all your prayers and support.

Reality Check

I think it hasn't quite hit me, (or I'm in denial) because I feel like I just took a few days off of work, and I'll be back at the store soon. Then my dear husband said " So hunny you're a stay at home mom again"! WAIT!......WHAT? I was suddenly brought back to reality, the store is closed and I will not be going back. My only job will be to take care of my family. Since my rude awaking things have been pretty good. I've been getting the kids ready for school with dr appts, shopping, and last minute trips. Of course I've been getting my schedule ready too. I've signed up for school, ( I'm very interested in graphic design I might take a stab at it) the gym, and a salsa class! I'm trying not to do to much since my main objective is to take care of my family. I'm sure my husband loves that there's dinner on the table every night now. I'm very excited to start my new journey & enjoy more time with family & friends. Thank you for all the memories!
