Nervousness

Well...let the fun begin! I've just gotten word that Nichole received my two boxes that cost the earth to ship containing 21 Fashionista Clips/Bows, 6 Wipe Cases & 6 bags of all shapes and sizes. I am beyond excited!!! The festival she has a booth at will host her AMAZING jewelry that she makes as well as my items. I cannot thank you enough Nichole for offering to sell my creations and get my name out there to the fellow Indiana folks! Wow...

This necklace above is what Nichole made for me that I cannot WAIT to get my hands on! I'm already thinking I'll need a fabulous outfit to wear it with! ;)





THIS IS MINE (b ring)! :) YEAH!!! How I didn't figure it out that she made it for me when she sent me the pics, I dunno...blonde roots for sure run deep in me...haha...




ISN'T SHE AMAZING!!
Nichole is soo flippin talented and we sobb daily over how we LONNNNGGGG to live even remotely close to one another and have a store. We also battle w/ God over why He put us so far away from one another and yet continue to flourish our creativity and mesh it together! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sooo nervous about the festival! I wish I could be there w/ her! She sent me emails giving me the set-ups she has for the items and MAN, is she talented! I guess I'm nervous b/c I'm really self-conscious when it comes to my creations. I guess I try to make them perfect and nothing is perfect but I worry that there's a flaw and someone will see it and...on and on.....and on....
Anyhoo...here's a few BRAND New items I sent to Nichole (thank you to my little Bizzy B, Shelby, for cooperating enough to get these shots in mid-crawl as I tried to not let her destroy them):









For more information on Nicholes's creations, please email her at: nicholehawkins@hotmail.com
Keep Nichole in your prayers as she tackles this festival on Sat., May 1st w/o my help :(! I feel awful and WISH I didn't live like 12 hours away :(...Also, pray it doesn't rain! If it does, they will reschedule it to next weekend!
~God bless,
P.S.,
we are takin the Rollin Turd to see Josh's brother and his family (like 4+hours away) tomorrow so PRAY FOR US TOO...lol..
~God bless ya,

Family of 3

I just remembered I've not shown you ALL the pics from our photoshoot w/ Stacy that we had the beginning of April! OMG....so, here ya go! They are all fabulous! I love them and sooo need to get them printed STILL. I want to get one of the 3 of us on the porch printed to a large canvas to put on our mantel but right now, I can't spend $100 when I'm still waiting on $$ for some bags and orders...but eventually and when I am off in exactly 14 days, I can maybe have time to order it! :) Yeahp, I am on a 9 month contract, so I basically work like the teachers do and have May 17- Aug. 13th off! :) Woohoo!!
My blessed Family of 3:

These next few picture get me b/c Stacy took Shelby's very 1st professional picture
(barely a day old)


and our first professional picture together (she was 2 weeks old here)


and now look at us :(...she's soo big now...and WON'T STOP GROWING!

WHAT'S UP W/ THAT?! I'M HAVIN TO PLAN A 1ST BIRTHDAY!?!!?!?! OMG...
The tears are starting to flow b/c not only do I have an "almost" 1 yr old but I still have the body of a 1 DAY old... :( ugh.....
~God bless,

So far, so good...

Well, (Ok so I realize I usually start my blogs w/ "well", "so" or "ok", but ya know....that's just me, i guess...haha)
Well, (try again)I think I've done well so far on my progress for making items for Nichole to sell at her booth on May 1st in Indiana. I am PUMPED beyond degree about this and cannot imagine the exposure Bizzy B's will get! Not to mention, the love I feel from Nichole for even OFFERING to sell my things at HER BOOTH! WHICH, btw, will be FANTABULOUS (that, if you don't know, is "fantastic" & "fabulous" mixed together)!!
So far, so good...what cha think?
I GOT 9 DONE LAST NIGHT!!! I ONLY STAYED UP TILL 11PM! :) When I did finally go to bed, Josh says, "Hey! Did you get a lot done? Good!" ALL IN ONE SENTENCE...no pause for me to answer..lol. he was sooo asleep and doesn't remember any of it. lol.. I just giggled and passsssseeeeedddddd out!
These are the new additions to the Fashionista Clips (I remade one b/c the original idea belongs to Stacy :)









The green puff w/ the costume emerald in the middle pictured funny. Guess my camera thought it was too bright and vetoed picturing it right like the others. LOL.. It is pretty bright but OOoooo soo cute!

Ok, so now I'm at a mindblock, what should I do next as far as bows?? Any suggestions? These were pretty far-out there but were so fun and exhibit me, all of me, in each one. These can be worn for the mom, infant, toddler, tween, teen, college gal, granny, etc.... They can also be worn in the hair alone, on a headband or even clipped to some chunky beaded necklace, which I'm gonna model different ways to wear these later on for y'all and for Nichole to have to display since I can't be there to do it myself (*tear*...why I have to live 12 hours from my best friend and sister-in-Christ, I dunno! Beats all I've ever seen! :( we fuss about it daily... We could have the most AWESOME shop ever if we didn't live so blasted far apart!! Ugh!)....so.... I need help, what are some of your fav's I've done that I should do for Nichole? Visit my "Creations" tab above and go through the bows slideshow.

New Opportunity

Hello all! Well, the "Rolling Turd" made it and it was actually fun! Will take some getting-used-to but overall, was a nice little trip (see previous post).

In the meantime, my dear friend Nichole from Terra Haute, IN informed me that she wants to sell some of my things at this upcoming event/show she's selling some of her new GORGEOUS jewelry at May 1st! Ok, so that means, I have now till NO LATER THAN next Wednesday to get my items made & shipped to her! So, I'm gonna do some feather clips, headbands, bows, wipe cases, 1 display diaper bag and HOPEFULLY some new designs that she's inspired me to do. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME! The devil is HARD AT WORK to get me to cave in and back out of this and just mope around. This is just as cool as the deal I got a year ago to sell my bags in a boutique in Florida! Bizzy B's is going nationwide AGAIN! Please give me any advice or feedback on items you think will sell great and that I should showcase! I'm stressing, can you tell? It's tough managing my time now. BUT, if I have to stay up half the night, I will! I'm excited but timid. I guess I still feel strange about people wanting my designs. LOL..
Anyhoo...
PLEASE PRAY! Oh, here's a new thing in our home:


this was in the nursery at church before church began last night (4-18-10)
~God bless & ANYONE THAT FEELS LEAD TO COME HELP W/ GLUE, SEWING AND RHINESTONES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COME TO MY HOME....I WILL GLADLY PUT YOU TO WORK!,

Birthday Box Update

I CANNOT FATHOM SHELBY IS 10 MONTHS OLD... O M G... WHERE DID MY BABY GO?
HAPPY FRIDAY!
OH, and look what has joined our family...

"Big Oh Rolling Turd"...yeahp...we are now RV Owners (& I did name it Rolling Turd). LOL. My parents & I have switched camping "tools". They have our camper and we now are the proud owners of this RV. It's gonna be so fun and a lot easier w/ Shelby! No more restraining her for traveling to distant lands. We are trying it out this weekend on a trip to Texarkana to visit "Gwammy" & "Granpop" (my parents). If all goes well, we are planning on using it this summer on our trek to Galveston to board our cruise! Should be interesting...
~God bless,

Intrigued?

Why is it that 3 swatches of fabric can make me so happy?
Intrigued and curious to know what these are for?? Gotta wait :)



LET THE SEWING BEGIN!
