Is it Friday yet?

Is it Friday yet??? It’s one of those days, where I could shut my eyes and fall asleep. Anywho… Can you believe it; October is almost over! I haven’t even gotten our pumpkins yet. I need to get on it. I should also start Christmas shopping. As you can tell I work best under pressure, and some of my finest work has been produced in the 11th hour. Has anyone started their holiday shopping or started any projects?

So… I am so excited to announce I received my sterling silver in the mail today!!! I can’t wait to get stamping and show all of you some of the new pieces. Wish me luck. (Fingers crossed) Now for the hardest part, a “company name.” If this is anything like naming a baby, my kids may be thing 1 and thing 2. Ha J/k. No, but really. Ideas??

I hope everyone’s week is wrapping up well. I leave you with a delicious, somewhat healthy and easy dinner recipe! It was one of those weeks also- quick and easy!

Buh Bye!
