Love the Career but Longing for Motherhood

With Jazz It Up being part of the Expo market on Saturday I had one busy weekend! There were lots of orders to fill and preparations to make for my display. The day went well, but because a blizzard was predicted to hit later in the day it was a little slower then normal. I did sell out on a few items...which is always good!

Here are a few pictures from the event-

Jazz It Up Jewelry Boxes!!!

Each piece of jewelry from Jazz comes in a pretty little box :-)

The table!

I made these card holders to "showcase" Jazz It Up. I think I will save these and use them for future events.

Me...hard at work!
Happy customer with her new designer stripe bag :-)
Happy customer with her new flower bag...and if you look closely she came to the Expo wearing a Jazz It Up necklace...love it!
Happy customer wearing her new peace sign purse! :-)
As I said in a previous post I am so thankful for the distraction that Jazz It Up allows me. Right now I have had my thoughts and prayers focused on becoming a mother...I think it would be easy for me to fall into depression if I didn't have a positive outlet to channel my energy. Both hubby and I talked over the weekend about how we long for a child, but God has given us so much to be grateful for in our careers and in our personal life. So while I hope and pray the majority of my waking hours that I will be a mother soon...I am at least satisfied and blessed in the other areas of my life.

Well, bloggy friends, hope you have a fantastic Monday! Remember, a start of a new week can mean a new and positive outlook!

One Busy Bee!

In our town there is an Expo Center which hosts a verity of events. Several times a year they have an "indoor market" where vendors are given a table to sell their merchandise. Oh how I've been longing to get my hands on one of those tables!!

About a month ago I filled out an application for Jazz It Up to host a table. And guess what???

I got it!!!

I'm so excited! My mind is swirling with ideas. The table needs to be ready by 8 am Saturday morning so I am moving at warp speed to get my inventory stocked and my table decorations made. I just received a new order of purses that I'm very excited to include. I also finished a couple new jewelry pieces.

To top it off we've had quite the busy week at the dress shop with clients needing to be styled for the Holidays. Needless to say I've been quite busy!

I have had my mind on my future baby nonstop lately. I've been filled with wonder concerning when we will get a call from our adoption agency and just basically felt a huge longing to become a mother. I am truly blessed that I have these distractions to keep my mind occupied while we wait.
