Summer Line

SMD's Summer line is finally up!!! Go check all the new pieces out!!

Frame It!

Yesterday was a great day! It was beautiful here. Not a cloud in the sky, upper 70s, with the fresh scent of Spring flowers in the air. Can you tell I'm loving this? I'm not the only one either, there were so many people out walking today, it seems that no one can stay inside. However, I did manage to get some stuff done before venturing outside. Remember pre-Christmas when I had those earring frames? Well, I have 2 left that I am selling but not putting up on the website. So that means that there are two people (if wanted) that can buy these lovely earring frames. They are $36 each plus shipping. Here's a look at one of them...

Now I must get ready to go and work out by the pool today!! Ahh, the joys of being my own boss

Only $36

This is my personal frame which serves only for what it looks like once earrings are hanging...

Tropic Tan!!

Our vacation couldn't have come at a better time! We have been so busy this month that we're ready to relax! Hubby has been flying to interviews, running a Bschool conference and taking finals. I have been (thankfully) busy with filling orders, making jewelry and traveling for jewelry. It's been a great month for both of us BUT that doesn't mean that we haven't been counting down the days since the 1st of February! We are leaving for Punta Cana, Dominican Republic this coming Tuesday! We're calling it our "honeymoon" even though we did take a honeymoon when we got married but everything was such a whirlwind that this will probably feel more like a honeymoon. (For those of you who don't know the story, we got engaged, married and moved to a new city all within 3 months) It was busy! So now we're going to celebrate, and celebrate we will! Eat, drink, sleep, tan and did I mention eat?!?

I'm so excited about the resort we're going to next week! It's all-inclusive and adult only, so it will be quiet and relaxing. I won't have to worry about how much that drink costs as I'm becoming dehydrated on the beach. And yes, I will be wearing SPF 50. So I might not get a tan but I think I made up for that growing up in Florida at the beach - without wearing any SPF. Yes, my mom did tell me to put it on but I was young and stupid. Here are some of my new items I will be taking to the tropics...

Face shade hat and new bathing suit

"Winning Star" SMD necklace...remember that little starfish pin from yesterday's pic? This one sold today but I'll be making one more!

Thankful-

1. for each of you who read this blog!

2. that a little cold is JUST a little cold.

Goodbye 2009

Sorry for the spotty posts lately but I am actually down in Florida visiting my family! I'm so excited about going to the beach with the fam and bringing in big ole 2010! I think I've had my fair share of huge, get excited new year's eve parties which is why I'm super excited about doing nothing!

This has been a big and eventful year for us... Hubby and I moved from our crazy house into an apartment, my sister had their first baby, SMD really took off, dad started his own company and the list goes on. I can't wait to see what 2010 has in store for everyone! Hubs and I will hopefully be moving to a new city with a new job in May after he graduates from UNC Business school!

What about you? What are you doing this new years? And what are you looking forward to in 2010???
