WOW....I missed an entire year!!

And what year it was........ more than double the show schedule ( even though we lost two of our biggest ones) The good news is the two favs will be back on the show rotaion for the coming year.
I have been completely ignoring the blogs and the biz website etc...have had a hard enough time just keeping my sanity in check. This was the year for strange extra happenings, hubby had two different surgeries, one of them being a major total knee replacement 5 weeks ago, which he is still at home recovering from that....hopefully to be back at work within the next month.
I am feeling the need for normality in my life so thinking I will hit the new year with organizing, cleaning and then start redoing the website and the projects ....nothing like "trying" to stay ahead of the game..... Thanksgiving and Christmas came and went in this blur and I sort of feel like I missed the holiday season so I think we will be celebrating just a little longer in our house.... :)
( who says I can't watch "White Christmas" well into Jnauary.....especially since I was gifted a new DVD copy of it from a dear,dear friend) Just brings out all the warm fuzzies....
Wishing you a very very Happy New Year and hope to see you here soon.....

What a season..........

I am glad to say that the season has come to an end for shows and such until the early spring. As much as I love what we do and always will this as everyone knows has been tough going. We did well in sales but with a lot more shows ( double the show load practically).
It is time to start in with the spring and summer scents and projects and that is always a refreshing change. I will be doing a lot of work on the website in the upcoming months and will be posting new pics. and things here too..... As always a HUGE thank you to all our customers, old new and die hards... without you we would be ....well.......nothing! See ya around soon !!!!

Amazing friends...................

I have the most amazing friends and acquaintances, if I need help, a pep talk, a coffee and chocolate run , ANYTHING they are there........I am so blessed. I have no idea how I became so lucky to have this fantastic group of people in my life but I am joyous about it! I know I don't do near enough to let them know how much they are appreciated ....i must do a better job...... but in the mean time all i can say is Thank You from the bottom of my heart!!! In our lives we really need to stop and look around, take in the people that we know and see what they really mean to us!!! Have a great day!!!!!

I love this time of year.....

The fall and winter and Holiday season is without a doubt my favorite time of the year. Thanksgiving especially, I love to make the "feast", see family and start the decorating process. Due to my husbands job we live 1600 miles from my parents and I really miss being able to see them....something I am hoping we can change in the near future.
I am totally excited about the upcoming Harvest festival in Idyllwild ca, they are predicting snow for at least one day we are there ....yippeee!!!! The Bed and Breakfast we are staying at has a huge stone fireplace in the living room so I am hoping for some time with a crackling fire and some hot cocoa......and way to many marshmallows in it for my own good!! heehee
So if you are in the neighborhood, come on up the mountain, play in the snow and check out or specials!!!!

A crazy life and a boring blog..........

Hmmmm for having a life as busy and crazy as mine ,you would think there would be more to ramble on about here... but as usual it is the same ole same ole. We had a 1 day boutique on weds. ...it was a blast as usual, sales were ok plus there were fresh baked cookies from Linda who is a goddess of the kitchen...yummmmmm... can't find any fault with the day. Had to rent a truck to get there as my van is still sick( i had forgotten how much I loved the pickups !! )Then from there we headed over to set up the 3 day Little Bear Boutique. Love that one too, we set up , walk away and let the owners of the home run it then show up a the end and tear down.
Have a pot of spaghetti sauce on the stove for dinner and have been sewing up a storm today... other than having the 7 year old home from school with a cold it has been a relaxing kind of day. Tomorrow is a straight pouring day if all goes as planned ( after taking the sick van back to the mechanic) .....toodles!!!!

The long and winding......to do list......

Where did I get this list making gene???? I have mile long to do lists perpetually...they never get shorter since as soon I complete a task I add another. And now another addiction....this blogging thing ( still just dipping my toes in the water) but I can see I am going to have a hard time ignoring the call of the computer. Be it to dabble and update mine or to read others that I am finding extremely intriguing....
Heaven help me and the work that needs to be done today......there are pantry cakes in the oven and candles ready to be poured and cheesecloth to be grubbed.....so awaaaaaaaay i go off in a cloud of cinnamon and soy wax debris...
***** oh and a funny little footnote... at the bank yesterday dropping off the deposit from the last show...the girl asks if I have gum etc.. in my purse? Why, I ask....well she says your money smells yummy!!! lol it smelled of cinnamon and candles and fixins....****** heehee we will take that as a bonus!!!!!
