I can't believe it's been over a year since I've updated here!

Thank you so much to everyone who has ordered from me, and sent me sweet little notes during this time. It's much appreciated!

It has been such an exciting year for me and my new jewelry business!

After all the drama with a certain other DA person, I decided to get a fresh start away from DA and all the fuss that happens here. That was probably one of the best decisions I have ever made! My new little business has been featured in two magazines, and just this weekend I did a photo shoot and interview for the local newspaper! I've also been on the Etsy front page several times; which is always fun to see!

Thanks to all this awesome publicity, my jewelry and trinkets are being sold in all sorts of little shops and boutiques in even more places around the world... Some of my favorites: candy shops in New York, Canada, Italy and Germany; boutiques in Costa Rica, Brazil, Australia, and Japan; several resorts in both Europe and North America; a bazaar in India; a bakery in London; and even in a French cafe in Paris! I just can't believe how lucky I have been to be able to create such wonderful little treasures for all of these different places! Truly a blessing!

Jimmy has also had a wonderful year. His music is featured in the re-released version of the Street Fighter 2: Turbo video game, and he is currently involved in a super huge project that he must keep very hush hush about for the time being. ^_^ I will say that it is another video game. Hehe! And he is continuing to write wonderful music for TV shows on Food Network, DIY, and HGTV.

On top of all this awesomeness, we will be leaving for Walt Disney World exactly two weeks from today!!! I'm so excited I could just scream! lol We'll be at Disney's Pop Century resort for 8 glorious days. Most likely in the 80's section. That way I can wake up every morning, and play on the huge keyboard next to the computer pool, on the way to the bus stop. *grin* I'm also excited about Splash Mountain, Small World, Expedition Everest, Mission: Space, Soarin', Dinosaur, Kilimanjaro Safari, Space Mountain, Toy Story Midway Mania, Test Track at night, Wishes, Spectromagic... AHH!!! See??? So much excitement... It's a fun overload! lol We got a great deal on a package - buy a 4 day/4 night package and get 3 days admission and 3 nights at a Disney resort added on for FREE! Plus, when we check in, we get a $200 gift card!! So then that means I can add shopping around World Showcase, and at the World of Disney to my excitement list! P.S. Jimmy is very excited about the food. lol I guess I am excited about eating at Boma, at the Animal Kingdom Lodge - it's my favorite restaurant ever!

Go here to find all kinds of Disney World informaiton, pictures, menus, etc. [link]

And on that note, I must be off! Working on new patterns and ordering more supplies is calling my name!

Hope you are all having a wonderful year so far!
