Some of my favorites....

One of the down sides to trying to ship tons of orders all at once is I don't get the time to take pictures of them.

I did however manage to snap a few of some of my favorites from this years custom orders.

You can expect to see some of these in my shop when I re open. Plus lots of designs with natural gem stones! I just LOVE how all the gem stone jewelry came out this Christmas!

I think I'll do a give away just after the first so come on back!

I hope everyone had a Blessed Christmas! I'll have Christmas photos to share soon.

Today I'm going to clean my workshop and then bake cookies with the kids.

What are you up to this Sunday?

Hugs!

All done! MERRY CHRISTMAS

whew! This was a rough Christmas season for us with our orders.
We were blessed with an abundance of orders as well as illnesses and injuries.
This Season we had, 4 urgent care visits, 2 ER visits, and I lost count on the doctors visits.

But thankfully we are all healthy, mostly healed, and Finished with orders!

I'll be closed for a full month.
I need to take some time to find a better way to handle things when business picks up as much as it has and life throws in a few curve balls as it did, I also plan to hire and train an assistant, the last was a disaster and my poor hubby ended up doing all my shipping this year.

My customer service really suffered when we all got sick. I want to have everything in order before I open again. So this year runs smoothly and is pleasant for everyone.

I will be posting pictures of some of the new designs you can expect to find when I reopen.

I will also do a give away once I have shipped out the last of the winners prizes from the last few giveaways.

Thank you so much to everyone who shopped with us this year! You have been a blessing to my family!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Comfort food and gift certificates...

I've been in such a Funk lately.

I'm finally over the flu, boy did it kick my butt! I can't remember the last time I had to stay in bed that many days, not even after having any of the kids!

Now that I'm back up and working, I'm drowning in messages and trying to catch up on orders. I just can't seem to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it's there and I'm trucking along.

There's just something so soothing about fall and winter cooking. I felt a little comfort food was in order to help me get out of my funk, so I'm making a huge pot of beef caldo (like beef stew but not thick)

I have the essential, beef onion carrots and celery, but I picked up some butternut squash and rutabagas (don't you just love saying that word), mushrooms and gold potatoes, corn, zucchini and snap peas! YUMMY!

If I had the time I would bake some bread but with the amount of orders to get done tonight I'll settle for the bakery.

What's on your menu tonight?

Also on a business note, the cut off for ordering is this week, but if you procrastinated too long Gift certificate went up today!

Happy Monday!!!
