OK People

OK people, I need some help!
I'm at a total design block and I need ideas.
What I'd like is if you have any suggestions for a unique decal I can make for my shop please let me know and if I choose to make the decal you suggested, I'll send you one.

OK people, let's hear the ideas!

I just wanted to toot my own horn for a minute, so bare with me!

Last fall my shop was in a Australian wedding magazine.
when I was asked to do it, I just thought that it would be a little publication and maybe I'd get a few sales from it... really I just thought it would be neat to be able to tell people that I was published in a magazine.
Well, I got the mag. a couple of weeks ago and it's not a little publication, in fact it's very "Martha Stewart weddings", hopefully this will be one of many for me. I'm attaching a pic of the page I was on, it's better looking in person.

I'm the top right picture.

The Killers Concert

My hubby and I went to The Killers concert last night and let me just say that was one of the best concerts ever!!! Enjoy the pic's.

I just love this man.

Gordon looks a little crazy. Sorry babe for posting the pic but I don't look half bad.
You know how it goes.....

I'm going to try and be better about actually posting and not just putting pictures up- I am a Mother of 4 with a booming business so I deserve a little slack....

What a year.

Last night while I was checking up on my shop, I realized that I've been open for a whole year (It seems like longer and yet it seems like 2 months ago). Never in a million years did I think that my little just for fun business would be doing so well, nor did I think that I would have someone working for me 3 times a week. It's been a crazy year trying to juggle: kids, husband, house and my shop, but I'm so grateful for the opportunity I've had to be able to be so busy.
I've said this before and I'll say it again that my hubby is the most patient, loving, helpful man and there is no way I could do this with out him. I'm also grateful for my dear friend that has given me advice, listen to me complain about the insane people that I have to deal with almost on a daily bases, and that we have been able to combine our ideas and link our shops together.
I'm so excited for this next year and I hope that I can continue creating new and fun decals and that my business will continue to keep growing in to something even more wonderful.

Oh, how I miss these babies....

Oh, how I miss these babies....

I was just thinking today how it's been an absolute joy to be these kids momma and I just wanted to share some of my joy with you.
I know the youngest isn't included in these photos, but he's still a baby.

My boy is NINE!!!!

My sweet boy is turning 9 tomorrow and I can't seem to figure out how he's still not 3.
Josh is such a great kid (I know all Mothers think that about there children but he really is). I'm so grateful for the opportunity I have had to be apart of his life. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of Man he turns out to be. My only prayer is that I don't screw this kid up!!!!

All I have time for is pictures....

Mom & Nena (Dads Momma)

Me and my pop

Nothing exciting to report on, things have been crazy as usual.
My shop is keeping me very busy as well as the kids.
We had a really nice Thanksgiving weekend filled with family time, food, shopping and lots of smiles. I keep trying to figure out what it is that I need to give updates on but for the life of me I can't think of anything...it's kind of nice.

I'm sure I'll post a bunch more, we've got a lot of stuff going on this month and I'm sure there will be something of interest.

Gordon and Grandma Clines

Ian...I don't know what he was doing.

Joshy collecting apples. He had this grandiose idea that I would make something with them...sweet isn't he.

The fam. in front of Grandmas house

These are the first of many pictures of our trip to Wyoming.
If I could, I would move there!
Well...maybe having a summer home would be the best route.

No time to go into detail-back to work I go.

In a nut shell....I'll post vaca pics later.

The State Fair of Texas.
Oh, how I love this place!

Diana got what she came for! If she had another hand she would have had a bluebell icecream in it.

This was the biggest, nastiest and smelliest pig I've ever seen.

My Grandmothers birthday party.
I'm not going to say her age because she would kill me!

Diana felt the need to dress like me that day...

Ian started pre-school and he loves it.

I chopped my hair off...well Omar chopped my hair off. Have I ever told you that I LOVE OMAR!

We went on a putt-putt extravaganza

Ella lost her mind

Joshy did a kid's triathlon...did I already blog about this? I can remember.
