Well a lot has changed since I wrote last

For one I am sorry I haven't been writing anything lately, but I will explain why I haven't been writing.
I am 6 months pregnant!!! I found out in June that I was pregnant when I had been feeling a little sick. I had morning sickness for 10 weeks and lost 12lbs. I now have gained 7 of those pounds back. I have been way to tired and sick to make any jewelry or even contemplate making any. I sold most of my jewelry while I was sick so I wouldn't be holding on to it. Being sick was a all day adventure. I don't know why they call it morning sickness lol it just doesn't happen in the morning. We are due February 21st

I also got married on October 13th to my wonderful husband and partner jarrod :) it was a quiet peaceful wedding. With a equally quiet and peaceful reception!! I loved it!! It was the perfect wedding for jarrod and I. If we had done formal it wouldn't have been us and it probably would have been awkward for us. It was done at his nana's house wedding was inside and reception was outside. I couldn't have done it with out our family helping us. And also for my best friend Nikki who makes me laugh all the time!! Can't wait for the pictures to see all of our crazy faces and serious ones.

I decided I am going to revamp this blog, it just won't be about jewelry making it will be about my life and what I experience and what I am going through everyday. There might be one post a day or there might be a couple posts and there might be a few days where I don't post at all. Life is an adventure and I plan on taking it and running with it.

Here are some pics my friend Nikki took and text messaged to me :)

My Love

I am still getting used to blogging. I have to tell you about the love of my life since he will pop up in future posts. His name is jarrod. He is 33 years old and works as a lead for a cable company. We are getting married October 13th this year. A little history behind the both of us.
We met on blind group date June 16th 2010. His best friend is dating a friend of mine and she thought we would be perfect together and I was opposed to meeting him since I had decided not to date anymore and I was content doing that. But she was insistent and I finally said yes but It had to be a group date otherwise I wouldn't go. Well I met him and instantly liked him. So I had to make sure he was the one I had been waiting for. He got the 20 hardest questions on that date. I just knew he was telling the truth when he answered them, ever since we have been together and last October he asked me to marry him. He asked me to be his girlfriend after a week and told me he lived me after 4 months. :) he makes me super happy and I am the luckiest gal alive. Just to let you know he is a very picky guy when it comes to woman, his last serious relationship was back in highschool. a few dates since then but not serious until he met me.
He has a kind spirit, he is polite, considerate, nice, shy, handsome, tall, Loyal, supportive, funny, loving, adventurous, and so much more.
Well that is all for now :)

My goals for the rest of the year

I am working on my first goal of getting my jewelry into boutique stores. I am nervous about doing it, but I was talking to a awesome lady yesterday at a walk through for a show i am doing on June 23rd and she told me to go for it. There are thousands of stores out there and I know I need to get into these stores since my jewelry does sell really good at these jewelry events I do and people love my jewelry. I know these stores would be excited to see my jewelry since it is so unique. So I am working on that goal this year. I need to get a carrying case with trays for all of my jewelry before I approach boutiques with my jewelry.
My other goal is to get into the magazine jewelry affaire magazine. I haven't yet attempted to send any in yet but I will be doing that when it comes up again to send in. I have been in bead trends and stringing and now I want to go for that one.
My last goal is sell double what I sold last year. So far I am 3/4 of the way there.
I absolutely love making and designing jewelry, it's my passion and I am so in love with it!!!
