Jewelry!

You may or may not remember this from previous posts, but I learned to make jewelry when we went to Tucson, Arizona this past Thanksgiving. I have been practicing and making some jewelry for friends and family as gifts. I have been toying around with the idea to sell some of my stuff and to tell people about it.

Soooo...today I made my first jewelry sale. Thanks to Teri :)
She wanted orange juice with lemons and limes and that's what she got! See!!She really liked it and I'm so glad she did!

I made one similar to it last week for Gail at work. She loved hers too!

To see some of the other stuff that I've made, go here. I'm planning to try some new things over the weekend and hopefully someone will like it and buy it, too!!!

Also, in November, Penns Manor's FBLA club is having their annual craft show. I think that I'm going to get a table and sell some stuff there. If I do get a table, I'll let you all know so you can come check out more of my jewelry! Noelle might make some jewelry and split the cost of the table with me....if she has time, what with the wedding coming up and everything!

If you're interested in some jewelry, you can drop me an email or just leave me a comment on this post.

That's it for me tonight. I'm teaching tomorrow and I need to get to bed. Grey's is on at 9 tomorrow...I can't wait :)

getting better

Well, it's only been 2.5 weeks since my last update. Pretty good for me I'd say!

Did I tell you that our family is doing a biggest loser challenge? Well...we are. We started August 30th and it's ending the week of Thanksgiving. So far, I've lost 4 lbs!!! I stayed the same for week 1, lost 1 lb during week 2, and lost 3 (yes 3) lbs this past week...week 3. I was pretty excited to get on the scale on Sunday!

Also, I've been sleeping much better lately. I've been getting tired at a decent hour and going to bed around midnight...which is really good for me :)

I have been getting really good about controlling the urge to breakdown and bawl my eyes out when I miss my dad. But, Friday night I couldn't control myself. I totally lost it and cried...more like heavily sobbed...myself to sleep. I don't know what it was that caused my major meltdown...but I really lost it! It was baaaaad!

Saturday night I played bar bingo at the Legion with my mom and when we left and I hugged her, I lost it again. What a mess I am! I can't control it anymore. I didn't even lose it that bad on the 12th, which was his 54th birthday!

Yesterday instead of working at the Coach or subbing, I got to babysit because Noelle was sick! Taryne has bronchitis and an ear infection, so we had to keep the kids seperated, so I had a 4 month old and a nearly 3 year old. Noelle kept Taryne for the day. It was such a nice change of pace/scenery. And holding that little baby boy all day was absolutely wonderful! He's such a little cutie pie! I took Maverick with me and he followed me where ever I went, as long as I had the baby with me. Fran says it's because he wants a baby...and I agreed...saying his mommy would like one, too!

While on that subject...it has been 1 year and 1 day since I went off birth control... And I am still not anywhere near pregnant...but it's okay...God will give me my babies when he's ready to, and I'm willing to wait a while...as long as it's not 5 years from now :)

Well...I best get back to work. Have a great day, everyone!

I'm Back!!!

Did you miss me??

Sorry I've been gone so long, we've been busy! I wish I had blogged while we were at the beach and our many other fun things. Buuuutttttttt....I didn't! Sorry!

The beach was a blast. It was warm and sunny all week except our last day there, when it stormed all day. For those of you who saw the picture on Facebook, I'm sure you'll agree with me that the storm was creeeeeeeepy looking!! We went to Medieval Times for our anniversary. It was fun...but our Knight lost, poor guy! There are pictures on my Facebook, and I should probably put them on Photobuket soon so you can see them.

We've been running around doing things, visiting friends, going to different things, but nothing too memorable...sad, I know. We went to Deep Creek Lake, MD for a weekend with Bobby's family. They stayed for the entire week, but we went down Saturday and left Sunday, then went back for the day on Wednesday.

Bobby turned 27 last week (Aug. 25th) and his mom cooked dinner for all of us and we had a nice time.

This week is the big Indiana County Fair. Bobby lives for this week every year. He eats lunch and dinner there everyday...today was the only day we haven't gone for dinner. He's going to the tractor pull with his dad tomorrow night. Whew! I am so glad I don't have to go. The smell of Diesel fuel makes me sick to my stomach! Gross!!! While he's there, I'm going to make my dad's famous chili. I have been promising it to the 911 guys for the past 2 months, so I'm taking advantage of the fact that I'll be home alone and I'm going to finally make it. It's deliciousness in a bowl! It won't ever be exactly the same, but it'll be close.

I'm looking forward to the 3 day weekend! We're having a big ol' party on Monday...We've invited like 100 people (I MUST BE CRAZY) and they're pretty much all coming. Soooo...if you read this on a regular basis (although, it has been nearly 2 months since I've posted, so there's nothing regular about that) you can come join in the fun!!! We're starting at 2 and asking everyone to bring a covered dish and a chair. If there's something special you like to drink, you may want to bring that, too! We're providing hot dogs and some beer and other beverages for all! We'll have a fire in the evening and we can find some games to play outside, too!
Just let me know if you're coming, and if you need directions! I'm in the mood for a good party! So please come over, it won't be as much fun without you!

And on that note, I must say good night! I've been having some problems sleeping, as most of you probably know...and staying up this late won't be good for me come tomorrow morning. So off to bed I shall go! Nighty night!
