Shop and Sip!! next wed. night december 8th

I have such a love for handmade things and well crafted work that my tummy still tingles when I see something awesome. If you want to know what makes my entire body tingle with excitement it's something beautifully made by someone I love- my children, the amazing children in my art class and my insanely creative friends.

So I am super excited to be able to post the invite to Shop and Sip! Hosted by two of the most favorite people in my life- Autumn and Yvette of Aqua76 (http://aquaseventy6.blogspot.com/).

Check out the adorable things that they make!!! Isn't their blog incredibly beautiful too??

Lucky for you I'm part of the party too and I have gorgeous new styles that I have been working on that are finally ready for sale. I feel like I have had a purse making epiphany lately and I'm loving every second of seeing how they come together!

It's local- it's a weeknight- it's girly- it's shopping and they have coffee there!!!....how can you resist??

Make up bags, a StrollerStrides/Wiregrass event and press!!!

I never did get around to posting the rest of my Mommyista make-up bags that I made for my awesome friends so here they are!

I am participating in an event at Wiregrass mall in a few weeks for StrollerStrides! Those of you who know me know that I am a work-out-aholic (although I will post at another time how a personal trainer named "S" has taken me out of my comfort zone and I realize I'm not as strong as I think I am!!) so I was thrilled to be asked to be involved and support fitness for us frazzled women with young children. There will be a free class, raffles (I will raffle something and so will my amazing girlfriend Karen at http://www.thereadingcorner.org/ along with many others) and various things for the kiddos to do.

It's Friday, March 26th-here is more info....

Very exciting news for me lately is that I had a little "press"!! I was so humbled and I loved my interviewer- loved her!! Here is the article-

My last note is my littlest guy has eye surgery tomorrow morning. We are in Orlando tonight because the surgery is very early tomorrow morning. I can't nurse him after midnight tonight so I'm not looking forward to the wee morning hours :). Please keep him in your prayers that he handles it all as well as a 10 month old can!! Thanks!

St. Timothy's boutique

I could not have done this show without my friend (she is my youngest son's AMAZING Godmother) "P". So if she is reading this- I can never thank you enough!! She stayed the entire day with me. God bless her.

The show was a lot of fun and the best part was that met a wonderful girl who makes incredible jewelry that I can only drool over. Thankfully, she agreed to a trade so I walked away with two gorgeous pieces that I alternate every day. I hope she enjoys her purse as much as I ADORE my necklaces!

I want to post a few pictures from the day because my oldest son took my camera and snapped some shots of his own. These are courtesy of him :).
