A great find!

I went to Target with my Mom and Gram today and found a great deal! I am always on the look-out for APPROPRIATE tennis clothes. I do NOT where spaghetti straps and escpecially for a girl my size I couldn't get away with it even if I wanted to.

ANYWAY, found some thick strap sport shirts, Champion brand which is a GREAT sports clothes line, and I found tops for $3 dollars on CLEARANCE!!!!! I was so happy.

I needed some new sports clothes DESPERATELY!!! It is really hard to find appropriate clothes when all girls clothes now-a-days are so inappropriate!

So I am happppppppyyyy!


I am EXHAUSTED, and need to go rest!

Good night!

Jewelry Sales! (Can I get a WOO HOO?)

Well I went to a networking meeting with my Mom this morning and I sold a good amount of jewelry!


It was a real blessing because the jewelry that sold was the jewelry that I had wanted to get rid of, I had that jewelry for a while so it is gone like the wind! PHEW!!!!

I have recently made Swarovski Christmas tree earrings and will be posting pictures soon enough so keep looking out for it!

Just in time for Christmas! :) :) :) :)

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Kate The Great! (My Baby Sister)

With all the thoughts about being thankful, I realized that I never really appreciated my baby sister, well... really she is just my baby. :) I have thanked God multiple times for her, but had never really understood the fullness of her, having her I mean. She can be a real pain sometimes, but what sibling do you know that is not a pain... She is the light of my life and without her I don't know what I would do.

Now being "older," almost sixteen, I can understand what a blessing it is to have children. My Mom hardly ever would see Kate throughout the day because my sister's and I would ALWAYS have her. When she was just a INFANT we would lay pillows and blankets down in our wagon, lay her down and haul her tiny petunia around EVERYWHERE, and let me tell you she loved it. Just looking up towards the sky and smiling. She knew, I am convinced she knew, that she was apart of something fun.

She was always curious, and never wanted to be layed down, she always had to be sitting up, ALWAYS. Or, she would just start crying. I still can't believe how much Mom let us do with her. I guess she had to pretty much let her go. She was down by the lake with us, playing with our neighbour's dog's with us, pretty much doing everything and STILL being an infant. She caught on very quickly and was one of the "pack" as we say, very fast.

Now my little girl is all grown up. She has been talking up a STORM lately. Recently, put down for her nap, we hear someone yelling for help.

HHEEELLLLPPPP MEEEE III WAAANNNTT TOO GETT UPPP!!! LAAAUUREENN, RRRAAACHHH HELLLLOOOOOOOO????

We decide to get her because obviously she is not going to fall asleep, so as I walk in the room to get her up she says, "Oh, hi Sloan, I not TOO sleepy

I'm too big, sorry Sloan." :)

So there it is, my sweet baby girl and how much I love her. I cannot wait to have my own children, if I love Kate this much, I cannot even imagine how much I could love my own.

Some of my favorite sayings of Kate's.

1. This morning Dad hears Kate calling from her bed, "Can someone get the baby up please?"

2. While I'm beading, "Wow, Sloanie you do GOoOoOd beading, can I help?"

3. When she goes down for bed, "No bed, I'm watchin' a movie, fiivvee mooorrree minnuttteess.

The List could go on and on, but I think you get the idea.

Love ya' Kate the Great

My New Creations!!!

Well, if you can tell, I am very excited about these "Simple Flower Rings", you are CORRECT! I took me about well 2 whole days to figure out how to do this tricky pattern, but I did it and THAT my friends is what counts. Swarovski crystals, and illusion string (like fishing line) DO NOT WORK WELL TOGETHER.) What I mean is, you need lots and lots and even more lotsa' patience for this little project. **WHEW**
