What does one do?

I paced, twitched, spaced and felt lost and confused for almost 2 whole days. Why you ask, well, my internet was down! Oh yes, no internet! My blood, my life line, my blog, my shops, my readers, my customers! I just didn't know what to do! The easiest thing to do was to go to a cafe with wireless or visit a friend but not only was my little babe not feeling well, but TJ's car is still not fixed and he's had my car leaving me completely stranded. Oh, I've been so lost, please forgive me!

Anyhow, my internet is back and so am I, so don't forget to check back tomorrow for this weeks giveaway!!!!

One Crazy Day

Gosh, don't you just love her!

Rory and I were just all over the place today! That was the crazy part. TJ's car broke down so we had to give him a ride to work this morning cause I needed the car and couldn't let him just take it. Thank god he was working in the area cause he usually works over an hour away but today it was only a 20 minute drive. We dropped him off and ran to the bead store and the grocery store and the Panera Bread  and back to TJ's office to drop off his lunch and then had to stop by the chocolate store on the way home (that was very important!). Got home and fed my little babe, tried to put her down to nap (didn't work), finished a couple of necklace orders, got her up since she wasn't going to sleep anyway, delivered the necklaces to their new owners, came home and finally got Rory to take her nap, got her up, changed her diaper and ran right back out again to pick up TJ and dinner (totally was not cooking tonight!), and finally, yes, finally got home, ate dinner and handed Rory off to her daddy while I went and took a much needed nap myself. When I got up she had already eaten her dinner and was ready for bed and I had her to sleep within 5 minutes. Now, I am going to just put up my feet, not wash the dishes piled in the sink and relax cause tomorrow, I will do it all again.....

Do you ever have days like this???

Giveaway!!!!

I've always loved glass work so I'm totally psyched to share this weeks giveaway with you! Steena from BuddhaKittyGlass is giving away one of her fused glass business card holders (I totally want one!). You even get to choose a color,  red, blue or green! This is my favorite! Her pieces are so much fun, she uses wonderful colors and designs to create unique dishes, trays, bowls and, of course, business card holders.

Here are some of my favorites!

Here is a little bit about BuddhaKittyGlass.

My love of glass goes back many years. During a college trip to Europe, I became fascinated with the stained glass in the cathedrals. Upon returning home, I took my first class in glasswork and learned how to make stained glass windows. This served as a wonderful introduction to the world of glass art. From there I began to learn glass bead making and became intrigued by the amazing transformation that takes place in glass once heat is applied. These glass beads became parts of handmade jewelry that I gave to friends and occasionally sold at small craft fairs. A cross-country move and new neighbors served as my introduction to fused glass. My new neighbors commented on a glass bead necklace I had made which turned into a discussion about kiln formed glass. My neighbor’s mother taught fused glass. We talked about my fascination with glass she suggested I try one of her mother’s classes. I signed up for her class and was immediately captivated by kiln formed glass. Shortly after the class, I purchased my first small kiln and began perfecting the art of fused glass in my basement. After several years, I decided to relocate back to the Pacific Northwest. The Seattle area is renowned for its glass art and is a wonderful location to continue to pursue fused glass.
