Pretty?

I think so :D

I took this at sunrise this morning when it was 22 degrees out there. Thankfully it wasn't windy!

There is still time

There is still time to order the ornaments I've made, the Jersey Girl necklaces (only 2 left) and even custom beach writings. I'm going to the beach Friday, Saturday & Sunday this week, as long as the weather cooperates. Next weekend I will do the same thing. All pictures will be sent out by the Monday after the weekend. Since Christmas is still a little bit away, there is plenty of time for you to print pictures I send you to give as gifts for Christmas.

MY SHOP

Did I really see that?

Oh yes I did!!!

As of today, Saturday December 4, 2010 I am down 50 freaking pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I started this journey in January of 2009, slacked for months at a time, but started back up with renewed effort on 9/1/2010 and it's paying off!

I am SOOOOOOO Happy today :D Especially since the scale barely moved all week. I gained 3lbs over Thanksgiving weekend, that came off by Wednesday, but then just stayed there. I nearly cried when I saw the scale this morning! I know I rubbed my eyes because I couldn't believe what I saw, but I saw it!!!!! WOOT!

Some other great news, I did really well at the craft fair last night! Sold several Jersey Girl necklaces, took a few custom beach writing orders, sold a few of my example pictures and 2 rubber ducks. Totally bummed the ducks didn't move, but whatever! LOL I had to laugh when people asked if they could buy some of the pictures I had on the table. I print them just as examples, but people want them! I thought it was too funny. One was even personalized, but it was a common last name!

I will definitely do more craft fairs, maybe even before this Christmas!

Go visit my shop! Until Sunday night the 1 Jersey Girl necklace I have listed will remain for sale for $10, after that it's being bumped up to $15. www.etsy.com/shop/mssuzie RUN!

I did it

I did it, I listed 1 necklace in my etsy shop!

I couldn't wait. I'm like a 3 yo, no patience!

My First Craft Fair

This coming Friday, December 3, 2010 I will be doing my first craft fair. I've never sold at a craft fair before. It starts at 6:30 and goes until 9pm.

Being sold for the first time is my Jersey Girl Necklaces. I have a bunch and will be offering them for $10 on Friday night only. Any I have left will be put up for sale in my Etsy account for $15 plus $2.50 shipping.

I will also have these for $1.50 each. I didn't make the ducks, but I think they are just too cute!

So make sure you come out to see me! I will also be taking custom beach writing orders as well!

Here are the details from facebook. Colonia Middle School 2010 CANDYLAND Holiday Shop Night

A work in progress!

This is my latest creation. I do have to give credit to my sister in law Kristen at Kristen Mintz Photography though, she posted about them first.

It is a work in progress, actually I'm still waiting for it and the 38 others I made, to dry!

The original intent was just to make Christmas ornaments and maybe a few of the Jersey Girl ones as necklaces. But I'm getting LOTS of interest in the JG necklaces so I'm placing a rush order for the supplies I need so I can make more!

If you're in the area, on December 3, I will be at the Colonia Middle School 2010 CANDYLAND Holiday Shop Night from 6 to 9:30. Come check me out be one of the firsts to get a custom made Jersey Girl necklace!

Gloves!

My 9 year old decided he wanted to do what I do and drew this picture of me. I know I've lost weight, but I'm not quite a stick figure yet! LOL

So on my last trip to the beach I realized I am in need of a serious pair of warm gloves that still lets me use my camera! Leather gloves would definitely fit the bill, but they need to be lined with something. I don't want real fur (allergies, dogs, etc LOL) and I don't want to spend big bucks. I wish I had thought of this at the end of last winter when they were all on sale!

If you see a good pair on sale, let me know!
