Last couple of weeks!

Where has the time gone? It truly flew these last couple of weeks...or so it seemed!
The Dahlonega, GA show was fantastic! I sold 6 albums with 4 or more potential orders coming soon!
The open house at Salon South & Gift Shop was Sooooo much fun! Sold 2 albums that day! And at my hubby's broker's Christmas open house, I sold 4 albums and 3 more potential orders! WOW! The thought of this becoming a profitable business for me is OUTSTANDING! What a blessing!

If I don't get to post again before Christmas....Merry, Merry Christmas to all! Enjoy your friends and family AND give them extra HUGS!
Thanks!

Wonderful, busy time of year!

Just popping in to share my wish list with you! Great shops and fun, beautiful items....take a peek and enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We were up early getting the turkey in the smoker! I baked pumpkin pies yesterday and my Mom made her famous cheese rolls! The weather is a little chilly but a beautiful sunny day in the forecast!
Give your family extra hugs today and enjoy your meal, whatever is on your menu!
Leave a comment with your "memory-maker" of the day! Baking, eating, family stories, shopping? mmmmmm what will mine be? I think I might need to list two or three:)!!!
Have a great day, all!

Beautiful week-end!

The Holiday Market was slow, maybe the basketball games or the economy OR both.
I sold two custom orders on Friday night and two albums off the table on Sat along with 6 tag albums and one explosion box. Sooooo, all in all I was pretty pleased with my first market of the season.
Also passed out over 70 business cards and was asked to be a guest speaker at two women's clubs. How exciting!
THEREFORE this aft, I'll be working on albums for the custom orders:) and next Sat's Christmas in the Country.
Thanks to all for the words of support and cheering me on:)!!!! You are appreciated!

Jeff and I took a day trip through the north GA mountains yesterday...missed the peak by 10 days or so. It was still beautiful and got to take a fresh breath. It always helps to get-away from it all and re-think your priorities. Very thankful for life and a wonderful family and precious friends, I love y'all!
Have a fantastic Friday and week-end, all!

Trick or treaters

It is so much fun seeing little ones all dressed up. I enjoy watching their face when candy is dropped into their plastic pumpkin. Wellll, if you can see their faces:) What a fun time of year, all the candy, all the decorations whether scary or cute and families trick or treating...BUT it all goes back to the giggles and excitement when you try to guess who is behind that mask. Even when I know, I *guess* wrong. Now who enjoys Halloween more....the children or me?!!!
