My Great Day!

Yesterday was a great day! We (Adam and the boys) went to church and then headed to murfreesboro for me to do some shopping for jewelry supplies. I got some great stuff to finish my orders with and then met my mom, sisters, and niece for Olive Garden and then more shopping a Target. As if the day couldn't get better.... Adam spotted Maci from the MTV show Teen Mom at the restaurant! I had to run over there and meet her because I looove the show. I know, I know... Yes, its a trashy show and glamourizes teen pregnancy but I still like it. Maci is my favorite also because she is really trying to be a good mom and is even attending MTSU. She was nice enough to let me get a pic with her. Brandie took the pic and Emily made fun of me, but I had a great time!

Leslie's Bunches of Bracelets

This lovely bunch of bracelets is headed to Leslie in Louisiana. She had them made for all of the girls in her family from their mother and grandmother's funeral flowers. This is only half of her order though... I will have the second half finished soon. :)

A Hold on Orders

I apologize to everyone who has placed an order with me! I am so far behind and am trying to get caught up... I promise! I started back to work kind of unexpectedly last week, so my jewelry making time has been cut short. I am so excited to be working again but it is definitely an adjustment after being home with the boys for so long. I need to stop taking orders temporarily while I get caught up since it is hard for me to keep all of the orders and flowers straight when I get so many. Below are the orders that I am working on:

1. Leslie's bracelets
2. Lori's necklaces
3. Vicki's set
4. Laura's pendants
5. Shelia's order
6. Shawn's bracelets
7. Samantha's bracelets
8. Cathy's order
9. Sommer's order

A Quote I Try To Live By...

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because some day in life you will have been all of these. - George Washington Carver

Elliot On His 1st Birthday

My sweet baby boy turned 1 on 9/9/10! I can't believe he is growing up so fast. His Gen, Pa, and Ganma came over and ate supper with us, and Gen even brought him a cake! :) Elliot had lots of fun crawling around chasing Ellie (the dog) and showing out for the cameras. Happy birthday to my sweet angel.

Sommer's Necklace

I absolutely love this necklace with the flower pendant made for Sommer from Smithville. The pendant is made with flowers from her grandfather's funeral. Included in the flowers they sent me were these tiny purple flowers, so I decided to put some on top of the pendant. I hope you enjoy Sommer.

Emily's Necklace and Elliot's Birthday Party :)

This necklace is for the very beautiful and sweet Emily Cantrell Estes and is made from flowers from her wedding. The flowers were dried red roses, so you can see the petals in the pendant. I hope you enjoy Emily!

We had Elliot's 1st birthday party Saturday at Rock Island Park. It was such a beautiful day and we all had a great time. The only bad thing is that Elliot and Ian both came down with colds! I still think Elliot enjoyed his special day though. :)

Brandie and Lauren's Necklaces

These flower pendant necklaces are for my big sister and niece, Brandie and Lauren. The flowers came from their vacation to Cancun, Mexico. When they entered the airport in Mexico, they were given some carnations. They had a great trip and wanted something to remember it by. I hope you girls enjoy them! (And next time, take me with you!)
