Completions, beginnings, and a game of tag.....

Completions..............

I have just finished up the last of a huge order of my famous Incognito Wallets which will be sold at several Boutique Shows this fall!

So what to do now with all this time on my hands.............. not to worry, I have a stack of to do's left. Hubby just reminded me today that he is still patiently waiting for me to add some new music to his iPod oh and there is the ad graphics I promised my father in law, and on and on. Like I said, I won't be bored any time soon.

Beginnings................

I have made a promise to get started on those e-books I mentioned in an earlier post. I will be starting on that this week as well as listing some brand new Incognito Wallets. I've got a couple more new designs up my sleeve to be revealed very soon too.

A game of tag..............

Now for the game of tag...

Recently, Mary tagged me for the

Six Things About Me You May/May Not Know about me.....

1. I am a total Star Wars junkie. I haven't always been, but my husband has managed to get me hooked, which is a good thing, because all of my children are addicted too.

2. I am terrified of heights. Just imagining being on the peak of a mountain gives me a feeling of Hyperventilation coming on. What's worse? My husband loves to climb, so I try to overcome it occasionally.

3. I am also terrified of haunted houses. I know, I know. Stupid huh? One time my husband had to drag me out of the emergency door in a haunted house because I had hyperventilated so much that I passed out. (that wasn't the first time I passed out in a haunted house either) The people in there love it too, because they see that I am so freaked out that they prey on me and scare me until I can't handle it anymore. Stupid huh?

4. I once cried over a commercial

5. I hate exercising

6. I love reading Stephen King. I know after reading # 3 you are wondering where the connection failed. I think the touching and grabbing in the haunted house is actually what scares me more than the horror, because I love a good scary book or movie.

Now I think I will tag two of my sweet sweet friends, Kristen and Jordon

7 things about me without boring you?

I have been team tagged by Chelsea and Dena to tell 7 things about myself.

Ok, I don't sleep more than 4 hours per night. I cannot go to sleep before midnight or I will wake up at two and be up for hours.

My favorite game when I was a small child was Button Button Who's Got The Button.

I married my high school sweetheart 13 years ago.

My husband taught me to cook. When I first married, I could not cook!

My favorite recipe is Microwave Carmel! If you want the instructions leave me a message and I will post it:)

I'd choose a Coke over water any day of the week.

I am severely scared of heights. I can hyperventilate just thinking about it too much.



Now I will tag Kristen, Bobbie, Sandi, Daria, Lisa and Gigi.

21 days without a whine..............

This sweet little church started the most wonderful challenge called Complaint Free World. Since then miss Oprah and several others have featured it on their shows. They have gotten over 2 million requests for these bracelets!
Now there is a movement beginning in the boutique world too and we have PamperingBeki to thank for that!
I was tagged by my sweet sweet friend Sarah who just knew I would love this challenge!

So, here are the details:
There's a movement right now to help create a Complaint Free World. Can YOU do it? Can you go without complaining for 21 days? Scientists say it takes 21 days to break a habit and create a new one. So can you? Here's what you need to do.
1. Click on Beki's blog to order a free purple Complaint Free bracelet.
2. Tag at least 3 people and spread the word. Challenge them to participate.
3. Sign the Mr. Linky On Beki's Blog so we can see how far this goes!4. The final step, and most important. STOP COMPLAINING! You put your bracelet on and any time you catch yourself complaining you must switch it to the opposite wrist. The goal is to go 21 days without switching it. If you switch it, your 21 days starts all over again.
So the movement has begun, and now I have been tagged to join. What can I say, but ABSOLUTELY! I love this challenge. I love the idea of a world coming together to make it a happier place.

I am going to tag Ash, Renee', and Em not that any of these fabulous girls are complainers, but I just know they are always up for a challenge!
I also have to tag a couple people who don't have blogs, but are avid readers of mine. Shaun and Michelle, you will so appreciate this.

Thanks, Sarah for tagging me, and thanks to the wonderful volunteers of this little church who dedicate their time to all of us, who they don't know, but still show their love for. You are greatly appreciated.

I've been tagged!

What a nice surprise to an otherwise stressful day! My good friend Sarah of Marvellous Mouse tagged me. Thanks Sarah!
Now I am supposed to choose one of my favorite designs. Not an easy task for a designer.

Eeny meeny miny moe.....

Ok, so it is undeniable, my latest creation is usually my favorite and these are no exception. However, these sets have a few other elements that make them stand out from the rest.





New fabric, new designs, new ideas! This was my first attempt at a "sister set". And many of the elements of each design are brand new to me!

Now, the modeling process, may be the ultimate reason that I love these so much. For the first time this winter, we were able to get outside and run around. They had so much fun modeling these sets and their personalities really show through in these pictures.

For me these two sets represent new beginnings, the beautiful innocense of children and the power to create.

What was once a figment of my imagination has now become a reality.

These two sets are still on auction!

Now I get to tag someone else!! I want to tag a dear friend who I adore and her designs are to die for!

Crystal of So*Euro.........

YOU'RE IT!
