Bella & Bangels

Bella is adjusting well to our family. At first Olly and her were not 100% sure about each other but now they are buddies, it is so cute! Here is a video I took introducing Bella-

We were slow at the boutique yesterday so I created some bangles for Jazz It Up. I am happy with how they turned out. I'm selling them for $7 so I think they will go quickly. :)

The hubster is in Cincinnati for his job this weekend. That means I have some girl time...SHOPPING!!! What do you ladies have in store for the weekend? Whatever it is I hope you enjoy it!

Weekend Happenings

Have I mentioned that I have the greatest blogger friends? Because I do! You are AMAZING! Your words of encouragement regarding my last post warmed my heart. THANK YOU! I have not called my social worker yet because I am just not ready to hear what she most likely will say. That and I guess I just want HER to call me with an update. I feel like I'm pestering her. I know I need to speak with her about all this, I've just been avoiding it.

I have been trying to keep my mind off of the adoption. I've been jam packing my days so that I can focus on something other then not being a mother.

One of the things I did was create an online consignment shop. Basically it is just to trade and sell clothing and accessories I bought but never use. I don't know why I started it but I've had fun playing around and meeting other consignment loving ladies. If anyone wants to check it out here is the link- Rachel's Closet

I also created a new Jazz It Up necklace because as you know, keeping my hands busy reduces my stress. Here is what I came up with-

The final thing I did to keep me busy is I rescued another min-pin. How could I not? Her name is Bella.

There will no doubt be plenty of blogs about her in the future. She is my little girl! :-)

So that was my weekend in a nutshell. I hope you are all well and that you are having a great Monday. Hugs to you all!

A (re) Introduction

It is hard for me to decide where to pick up after my old blog was deleted. I am going to do an re-introduction by way of pictures to start out.

I have been happily married to the love of my life for 2 1/2 years. The picture below was taken at my cousin's wedding last fall.

Hubby and I are proud home owners. We have headed up all the renovations. Below are pictures of our living room. I gave your a tour of the LR on my old blog. There will be more house pictures to come because I LOVE seeing inside others homes and figure I should show others mine. I promise I'm not a snoop, I just enjoy taking in all the decorative touches and individual styles that are unique to each home.

I own a miniature pincher named Olive. We have no kids of our own so it's safe to say he is our baby. Spoiling my dog??? Guilty as charged!!!

I work at a women's boutique. Basically I style women for big events like weddings, cruises, dinner parties, etc...I really love my job and wouldn't trade it for anything. We specialize in formal dresses and the accessories to match. Below is a sample of the fabulousness (is that even a word??) that I get to work with!

And that is me in a nut shell. Of course there is so much more which will inevitably come out as this blog continues.

Please share with me more about yourselves...I love hearing from you!!!
