Whew! Last week was a doozy of a week with what felt like a million meetings and Christmas get-togethers. Friday night was the Maumelle Tree Lighting. Even as cold as it was, the boys couldn't resist the petting zoo. They loved the duck in the photo because it had a...
I added to my office collage! When I was looking for a settee for my Bella Rustina selfie station, I saw where someone was selling the Camark climbing cat for $30, which is a steal. I didn't have time to drive to Malvern before the Christmas Bella Rustina, but I...
The selfie station for last weekend's Bella Rustina was a last-minute miracle! I was in Hobby Lobby a week before the show when I ran into Jessica, one of my exhibitors. I told her my plans and she quickly pointed out the maroon chairs I planned to use would clash...
Whew! The past couple of days have been a tad rough getting the Bella Rustina booth layout figured out. I've crammed the most booths into the Expo Center I ever have (244!) and still couldn't get everyone in that I wanted to. Overall I have 234 exhibitors filling...
Coach Taimi and I checked out Holiday House Friday night. It was "Disco Night" and we were encouraged to wear something sparkly. We missed hearing Paul Guess speak, but we got to admire his beautiful work in his booths. Paul is so talented and super nice - I want to...
Caleb waited until the last minute to decide what he wanted to be for Halloween. He found a stick-figure costume that was too small, so I told him I could make that costume for him. I bought glow-sticks from Dollar Tree and that's where the easy part ended. I didn't...
Last week was an action-packed week during the boys' fall break. I sent last week's email from our hotel room in Branson. The next day we crammed in Fritz's Adventure, the Grand Country Resort Waterpark, and the Branson Coaster. I didn't take many photos because I was...
Last Saturday I participated in the Bernice Garden Vintage Market as a vendor. The weather was amazing! I grabbed random totes out of my garage so each item I unwrapped was a surprise. Some items took me down memory lane of when I purchased it and others I have no...
I'm one week in and I could easily create a POV (point of view) meme of having kittens. My legs are scratched from being climbed up, the one plant they could reach is distroyed (Mom says I need to repot it anyway), and they will totally beg for food when they see one...
