Close to my 100th Sale!

I am so close to making 100 sales! I just wanted to let everyone know that who ever buys the 100th item, they get 30% off their whole order! My sales are at 95 right now, so if you buy 5 things, that would bring my sales to 100 and you get 30% off the WHOLE order, not just that one item.

Man oh man.

Today was a pretty uneventful day. I couldn't go to class because Brooke is sick. I brought in my Psych quiz because I knew I did well on it, so I wanted it to count towards my grade. So I brought Brooke to campus with me and she was so overwhelmed by all the people on campus.Well, I checked my answers online tonight, and I got a B+ on it!!! I only missed three, but I'm going to contest one, because I think it's wrong. I mean, I think I got it right even though it tells me it's wrong. 

I thought Brooke's fever had broke when she woke up from her nap, but I took her temp before she went to bed because she felt warm again to me. It was 101.4. She was drinking better today which is good news, but poor baby. :( 

I finished my custom order today. It looks so cute! I hope she likes it.

Tonight after Brooke went to bed I wanted to make another bow. I had some colors in mind and I think it really looks nice. I'm going to list it tomorrow to see how it fares. I really like it because it's a lot bolder than my other ones. What do you think?

Alright, I really should get going. I have some things to do before bed and I have a long weekend of homework. :) Leave me some love!!!

New bow creations!!

Today was a rough day. Brooke woke up feeling a little warm so I took her temperature under the armpit. It read a little high, but wasn't over the 100 mark. So I took her to daycare, cautioned Danielle and told her to not hesitate to call me. Well, she called. She called at around 12:30 and told me Brooke had a temp of 101.7. Poor baby! So I went to scoop her up, took her home and put her straight to bed. She slept for 3.5 hours and I finally had to wake her up. I wanted her to get rest, but she also needs to sleep tonight. When she got up she was still warm but acting like her a little Brooke self. Needless to say, there won't be any school for me tomorrow. I e-mailed both professors. One responded, the other didn't. I'm bringing Brooke into school with me while I drop a couple things off. Eric had been sick this past week, and I told him not to kiss her!!! He's going to hear it when he gets home... GRRR. 

I've worked on some bows. These are my newest creations. I really like the small korkers in the middle, it gives it a little something different. Let me know what you think! I think they're pretty neat. :)

Lazy Day

Today has been pretty uneventful so far (I guess it's only 2:38 P.M.).

Brooke and I went to the post office to mail our pictures we got done back in December to Grandpa ("Pa-pa"), Auntie Allison and Auntie Bubba. We also mailed a custom order to a wonderful buyer in Illinois and headbands to the boutique I sell bows in down in Louisiana. I also bought stamps. I had a whole bunch, but I don't know where they went. :(

While Brooke was napping I worked on some homework. I did some psychology and was reading and taking notes all about the biological make-up of our bodies. It's pretty interesting. :) I still have about 20 pages to read through and take notes on, but it shouldn't take too long. I have a take home quiz I need to print off so I can do it while I'm reading. then I have to type up my humanities essay, read and take notes for history, and start my paper for history. Thank goodness I have Fridays off and Eric is home on the weekends so I can focus on other things than my precious Brooke! I think when Eric deploys I'll find someone to come over a couple times a week so I can get some homework done. :) This summer won't be too bad, I think I may take a couple of classes so I can add credits, but I don't think I'll do a full load. Next school year I'll take more classes (I'm thinking). But we'll see. This will be our first deployment together. Who knows what will happen! And who knows what will happen with the upcoming elections.

You know what really bothers me, the severe right wings who sit there and completely bash the Democrats. And I'm not just talking about Obama, I'm talking about people like me. I am a Democrats, and very proud. I grew up in a democratic family and take pride in making my political decisions. But I don't go around making Republicans feel like they're stupid for being apart of that party. I'm sick of seeing things like "dumb-o-crats" and bashing Obama. There are a lot of supporters of Obama out there, and I am one of them. My husband is a Republican and will most likely be voting McCain, but we don't sit here and bash each other for our voting preferences. I am educated. I read the papers. I talk to people. I'm not ignorant and I wish people would stop implying that Democrat's are ignorant. If you have an opinion, great, but do it in a mature non judgemental way. And the funny thing is, most the things I'm seeing posted are by people who are older than me. It's frustrating. I did register to vote the other day on campus, and when I checked the "Democrat" box, the person signing me up was very happy I was an Obama supporter. We see how our current Republican leader has lead us for the past 8 years, and we're not doing so hot are we?

On another less political topic, I have a lot of GREAT printed 3/8 ribbon! One of my orders I sent out today was for 12 of them! I think they're great because they can match different outfits, and they're very inexpensive to buy!!! Aren't they adorable?!

Anywho, I should go. I don't think my chicken legs are going to thaw out by the time dinner comes along...Oh! And I think I may chop my hair off tomorrow. I always feel like I'm going bald when my hair starts getting long. Plus it's easier to take care of shorter. :) And tanning! I love tanning. <3

Another week gone...

This was a short week for school. We had Monday and Tuesday off due to Labor day and since I don't have classes Friday, I only had two days of school. I have plenty of school work to do this weekend, including typing a paper for one of my classes. thank god it was an easy paper (or so I thought). We'll see how the paper grades...HA.

Brooke is getting so big. I can't believe all of the milestones she reaches everyday. She signs, talks, throws temper tantrums, runs, jumps, laughs, plays...it's amazing! I took her to Office Max today to get a couple of photo mailers and I let her just walk on her own. She LOVED it. She loved the freedom. There was a lot of "Brooke, put that back!", and "Brooke! Come walk next to mommy!". But she listened. Haha.

I have been working on a couple of orders. I had a lovely buyer buy 12 simple clips and a pumpkin clip. I also have a custom order for 6 clips, 6 simple bows, 3 ladybug bows and a Christmas Tree clip. :) Let's hope this keeps up! I will be a very busy lady with school, Brooke and bows. I guess it could be, books, Brooke, and bows! The three B's. Ha.

We're having people over Saturday night. It's so odd having people over. In Louisiana our house was such a crap house that we were embarrassed to have people over. But now that we have an awesome house, we're excited to have people over! I'll be making baked ziti. YUM. It's Eric's favorite.

Alright, I need to go finish these bows. Ciao!

So much too do in so little time...

So. My house smells because my daughter found a piece of paper on the floor, ate it, then puked it all up. Along with her breakfast. I knew the house smelled all day, but I didn't know what from. I took the garbage out thinking it was that. Nope. It wasn't until last night when my husband tells me Brooke had thrown up on the floor. The only time I could think she would have done it was when I was in the shower...Oh baby. No now...the stink residue is still there. ::sigh::



I've been trying to promote my bows. It hasn't been working very well. I've had a couple of orders, but it's pretty pathetic. I know I don't make ugly bows... I've seen some bows where you just go "wow, that's bad" and they have more sales than me!!! What's their secret??? I have so many different styles and I keep my prices VERY competitive, cheaper than most! Especially for the quality. I mean shoot, , how cute are those?! (I did those last night because I was super stressed...watching 90210). Someone send me some business! I LOVE making them, and love to see other kids wearing them even more. I am determined!

I'm in my second week of school. My classes are kicking my ass. Well, all but one. History, humanities and psychology are really keeping my busy. So much reading and taking notes. Holy cow. I have so much to do this weekend. The husband better keep the daughter entertained!!! Haha.


Alright. I should go and try and get this stink out of the carpet. SO GROSS.
