I LOVE my NEW VINTAGE scarfs!!!

Seriously, I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I am so proud of these. I had a vision and started making them and they are by far the coolest things I've ever made! These scarfs can be worn year round. I love scarfs and living in California doesn't give us the coldest winters so wearing thick scarfs just isn't my thing. I wanted to create scarfs that can be worn with anything. I would love you're input or any creative tips!!

Overwhelmed

When does it all slow down. Then again the thought of that freaks me out! Its all so mental. Its how one handles and carries the stress. I'm reading "A Simple Prayer" right now and so far I love it. Its so simple. I've always prayed but this book guides you to do it in such a way that it has you grasp a whole new relationship to god and who is to me. My friend. None of this is anything new, but I feel like I'm hearing it all for the very first time and its good! Anyhow those are my thoughts right now. And I'm trying to not beat myself up for my lack of blogging. Life moves forward, you keep going, you keep breathing. With that said here is a picture of my growing family. This is why I'm forever grateful!

Okay Here I am! I just bought myself a new laptop, so I promise, I'm gonna be on top of the bloging, I swear! Well its not good to swear, so i cross my heart :)0

Well I can now say I officially did my first big show! The San Francisco Gift Show! It was awesome! My belts, scarfs & accessories are officially in about a dozen brick & mortar retail stores!! I'm very excited.

It was a great experience being on the other side. Having had a retail store I can relate more to vendors and why they did the things they did when it came to discounts, minimum purchases, wholesale pricing etc... Well I'm excited for the next one which is in January in LA!! But until then I'm getting ready for the holiday season and the many shows I'll be doing. I'll be placing them in my "Events Calendar" in the next week when the dates are hammered down. :)

HELLO & WELCOME

Ok, so I'm vowing to myself right now that I will be consistant with this blog. I have another blog with my other Business:

http://www.timelessandchic.com/

But for some reason I just wasn't inspired to chat about myself any I didn't consider myself a "scrapbooker." I am an Artist! I can say it out loud and feel so good and freed up about it! So I'm so excited to start "blogging." That sounds so funny to me, "blogging." It sounds, well you know, a little nasty even, I'm sitting in front of my labtop feeling embarrassed for "Blogging." lololololololololo!!! Okay moving on....

So just to let you guys all know I went to CHA (Craft & Hobby Association) this past February and kid you not saw a plain belt buckle and got inspired. I have always wanted to create my own line of accessories and so now I'm doing it. I'm super busy with my two girls. Lulu, almost 3yrs going on 30 and Gracie 14 months old who started to walk at 10 months so she is all over the place- yikes! Well my HOT husband, Christiaan, is extremly supportive and loves to be with the girls when he's not busy himself so changing diapers and playing tea is not a problem for him; hence he's pretty the perfect husband :) I am blessed and I don't take it for granted.

Anyhow it was at CHA that I saw what was possible for me and NOW was the time for me to act on it before I get preggers again. We want 2 more babies.... I know Crazy, right!

Well I am a planner so I have the next year planned out for myself and if I get any curve balls, I gotta just take my own advice and Roll wid it! Well I gotta write more later, Lulu needs a serious bath and its already way past her bedtime. :)
