Wedding Peak of Tyler and Stephanie

This weekend has been a blur of photos! I got a great chance to take pictures for Tyler and Stephanie's wedding and was scared to death I would mess up their pictures. After all, you only get 1 shot at those pictures!

Thankfully, they are beautiful and here are a couple I have had a chance to play with... I hope they are everything they want from their photos and will add to their memories of their special day.

Congratulations Guys!!!

Birthday Weekend

It's been so busy around here! We celebrated Dakota's 12th birthday this past weekend and since Miss Tiffany had a birthday on Saturday, we celebrated hers as well... Here are a few pictures!

This is Dakota with his birthday gift from us... he got a golden Fancy Hamster complete with cage, food, bedding & play toy not to mention $$$$ that he got from everyone else! :)

He also had a very yummy ice cream cake! But, the mice got into it a bit. ;o) At least that is what his Nanna told him as she brought it up.

Since Miss Tiffany has been with Jakey Poo, she has been asking for a purse. Of course, she knew she would get one for her birthday! :o) I let her pick her fabric and boy, she had a hard time with that! I think she and Jakey spent about 2 hrs going through fabrics! I think she ended up with a fine selection of Passion Dandy Damask with a solid pink interior. I hope she is enjoying her bag...

Miss Tiffany also got another special gift from my son... they have been together for 6 months now. (That's forever in Teenager time) Below is a picture of her gift.

No, it's not an engagement ring, but a promise ring. It's an adorable little ring and I helped pick it out... Not a real diamond either. He bought a beautiful ring with a 1/2 carot CZ stone in it and it actually looks like my diamond! I compared them in the store so he could see that it didn't look too cheesy. When the time comes for the real ring, I will be sure to pick her out a beautiful diamond of course. ;o)

Well, that's about all for now! I will be posting some pictures of some orders I've had over the last few weeks as soon as I can and a wedding that I will be helping with over the weekend too. Have a great day!

MIA

Yes, I know... I've been MIA! It has been a crazy month and I don't see any let-up until after the first of the year.

Some of you may already know but many won't know that I am in the middle of preparing for a craft show that I do annually in November. I usually do this show and do pretty well with it but last year with the economy doing so badly, I really felt it at my booth and I think most of the other vendors did as well. I don't think as many people came out and certainly weren't buying.

Other reasons for the MIA have been a steady stream of orders that I am working to complete as they come in while working on the show's inventory. I'll post pictures of an order I am completing for a couple of people later this week. I hope they turn out as well as I think they will!

In other news, we are also in the process of taking the foster parenting classes and that is very over-whelming. At the first session, they give you a 2" binder full of papers that have to be completed along with another binder that we use for class. Needless to say, I have not written that much since High School! I keep getting writer's cramp and have to take a break from my paper work! It's a shame that our system isn't better to get those kids into good homes. Enough of that or my heart will break. I have to consider this very carefully because I attach to children very easily... lots of love to give away from our household.

At at last, a few new bows are available at The Trendy Spot! Just in time for halloween, order yours now! I do have a big girls bow(s) that I will be adding later today and some beautiful Christmas bows to add later this week! I'll be adding lots more info soon!

Congratulations to Penny!

Wow!!! We have had so many wonderful people enter the wallet give-a-way and now have a winner!

Congratulations to Penny who selected Poppies in Fucshia. This will be going out soon!

In other news, I am working with another blog for another give-a-way. This one will be for a Necklace and will kick off our jewelry on the site as well.

Be sure to check back for more information on that soon!
