Last Sunday in November...

Where did November go?  I can't believe how quickly time goes by...you look up and a month is gone! My first month in my new business has been great fun!  This weekend wasn't terribly productive but hopefullly the many business cards, flyers, & catalogs passed out to folks will be fruitful in the future.

I have a busy week planned for the next 7 days...a dental appt, a sorority meeting, four Initial Outfitters parties, and pictures with Santa!  I think I might need a day off next week! :)

I wore the blue glass pendant today (thanks for helping me pick it out today Pamela) along with my silver flower watch & the hammered swirl silver earrings from the catalog!  Love the earrings!!! They are big but lightweight.

Slow Saturday at the Bazaar

Today was a slow day traffic-wise at the bazaar.  We managed to entertain ourselves...Pamela, Darcy, Tessa, Dan, Judy & I told stories, laughed, and joked.  Some of us even sold some things. :)


I sorted through the jewelry on my table this morning to pick a copper necklace.  It complimented my copper watch with the turquoise band and copper earrings.

Black Friday

I spent Black Friday at the Old Blackhawk Security building at the "After Thanksgiving Bazaar". It was a day full of lookers and passing out my contact information/catalogs/etc. Hopefully the new contacts will result in some new business as well.

Today's jewelry choices included silver circle hoop earrings, my silver & clear beaded watch, & silver/black monogrammed pendant.

Lots to be thankful for today....

Today is a day to count your blessings big and small.  I have so many things to be thankful for...family, friends, a great house to call home, a rewarding job (or 6), my four-legged kids, our service men & women, and this great country I live in.  What more could a gal ask for?


Char & I won the "hand & foot" game at Aunt M's after dinner.  Crystal & Aunt M made a valiant effort but the cards fell our way.  I hadn't played H&F for quite a while and had forgotten how fun it is. 

Cold & windy....

Cold & windy was the name of the game today!  Holy cow!  I can't believe how cold the wind was tonight!  BRRRR...but I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new electric blanket!  :)  Works great!

The necklace I wore today got lots of compliments today...the guy working the counter at the post office even commented on it.  The bracelet is one I picked up at the street market in Boston and I happened to have earrings in the jewelry box that matched this necklace from my sales samples.

Busy Tuesday...

For a vacation day, I managed to fit a TON of stuff into my day...closed two parties, spent some time at WWPS, and did several loads of laundry!

Monday & Friday all in one...

Today was Monday & Friday all in one...a short work week due to the holiday and an extra day of vacation.  Susan got the three day weekend this year and I got the long holiday...just opposit of last year.  It works great when everyone can work together and give & take...


Tonight I got to enjoy the company of some very funny & interesting women at the Initial Outfitters party hosted for me by Darlene.  Darlene's home is beautiful and it was a wonderfully refreshing evening.  Thanks Darlene!  I picked jewelry out of my samples today to wear...a copper cuff, copper necklace on a black cord and copper earrings...
