:: well i was hoping to get a lot of work done this week and have all my stores stocked with jewelry and yada yada yada [is that even how you spell that?] anyhow, instead i’ve been busy with birthdays, a sick baby [so sad], and a poor husband who has the shingles who can’t help with the sick baby or he could expose him to chicken pox. yikes. not fun ::
:: but i did manage to do a few things amidst all the sicknesses around me ::

:: i was able to make my first birthday cake from scratch for my hubbies 30th this last weekend [those are raspberries on top if you can’t tell, not the greatest picture] ::

:: the cupcakes were for the kiddos, courtesy of sprinkles cupcake mix. yum-o ::

:: here’s a new pair of armelle jewelry earrings. thankfully i was able to get a few new pieces made the other day during nap time. i hope to have a lot more where that came from and i will get this up in my shop soon and hopefully have more to share. ::

:: i’ve been trying to get things ready for the upcoming holidays + of course the beehive bazaar ::

:: hope you all have a great weekend! i sure hope my boys get feeling better this weekend! ::

:: oh p.s. this carseat just arrived on my doorstep [of course not in purple] a few minutes ago. i researched a bit and i think it will be great. let me know what you think if you know anything about these. i was between this and the marathon [i didn’t get this one because when i went to babies r us to check it out they were all off the shelf because there was a recall. check out more information on the recall here. ::
