I'm such a slacker! lol
I've gotten so wrapped up with working on new things, that I haven't taken the time to give any attention to my poor blog. Shame on me! I really want to do better this year, but I keep getting into so many things! lol
First of all, we had a wonderful time at Disney World! We witnessed lots of magic, and had a blast! My favorite part... Tickets to Cirque du Soleil, courtesy of The Sweetie's uncle! What an awesome show! I spent most of the time with my mouth hanging open! :) It was indescribable! And of course, there were the record lows that were set in Orlando while we were there... A couple of days it was below freezing! It was too crazy to be annoying!
Here's a few (big!) pictures of the resort... Disney's Pop Century Resort!



Since we took (i.e. I took!) nearly 1000 pictures and videos, and it's hard to pick just a few to show you all, I'll just post a few every now and then. ^_^
I also got no less than a billion ideas on the trip... So there are lots of beaded treasures in the works!
And some very cool new scented beads, which I'm really excited about. I plan on giving away free sample sets of these to people who make purchases in my shop during March. :) I'll have an announcement when that begins! I've been working on this special recipe forever. They're not polymer clay beads or purchased beads with a little fragrance added or anything like that. They are hand made beads that I have created from scratch, and that I've added sooo many different inclusions to! They are amazing, and truly unique!
I think that's all the updates for now! But definately check back soon, I'll have a whole truck load of new goodies before long!
Hope you are all having a wonderful evening!
Well, guys... This will be my last post before we leave for Walt Disney World on Monday! I absolutely can not wait!!! I can already hear Pop Century calling my name. ^_^ Hehe...
When we get back, I have quite a few items that I plan on adding to my shop. :D Fairy items, Disney World themed items, new beaded cupcake ornaments, and maybe even some new sweet summer treats! (It may be a bit too early for those, we'll just have to see!)
Here's a little sneakity peak at the cupcake ornaments:
I'll give a full report when we get back, too! With pictures and everything.
I hope you all have a wonderful two weeks! Stay warm!
Ha! It's actually snowing a bit here, and some if it is actually sticking to the ground! How amazing is that???
Of course, today was already a day off work because of Martin Luther King's birthday. Be sure to check out his speech here. I know a lot of people who have never heard the whole thing!
Not much going on here today. I have a bit of a cold, so I'm staying warm inside the house. Just drinking hot chocolate, working on some orders. Ahhh... This is the life! lol
Oh! And last night I worked on the pattern for a beaded Disney World Monorail bracelet!!! Boy am I excited about that! It's nothing too fancy, but it is looking very cute so far! The prototype that I have almost finished is the red-line monorail; my favorite. But when I have it completed, I'll offer all the different lines... Pink, lime, yellow, silver... I'm all about being able to customize things! lol
And now I'm off to make myself some Lipton Alfredo Broccoli for lunch. This is probably one of my favorite 'quick' meals of all time! (On a side note... Has anyone else noticed that I usually post a new entry right here before lunch??? Weird!)
Hope you all have a wonderful, snowy day!
I am so sleepy! lol I just can't seem to get caught up on my sleep; I need another week or so off from work! (Ha! I only work 20 hours a week anyway... I sound lazy, don't I???)
So... We will be checking in at Disney's Pop Century Resort in just 27 short days!!! Ahh! That should wake me up a bit! lol I can never believe it when a Disney World trip starts getting so close. I feel so lucky to have found such a special place. I truly believe in the Disney Magic that is found there, and love sharing it with everyone who will listen. :) It gives me warm fuzzies and goosebumps just thinking about my 'happy place'!
I'm hoping to write a trip report this time when I get back. I've always wanted to write one. I really enjoy reading other peoples' trip reports, and I like to write. I hope I can get one finished!
I am also hoping to have some of my fairy goodies listed in my shop before the trip. I'm so excited about the little beaded fairy ornaments, fairy wands, fairy wings, and other fairy-type things that I have started working on! *giggle* I love it when I have a theme to work with! :D
On that note, I'm off to find a snack!
I'll leave you with this picture of Bi-Zu's new 'bed'...

I hope you all have a lovely evening!
I got the little Valentine's Day treats all packaged up and ready to go! I already have the cookies and strawberries listed in my LolliShop! The Love Bugs will be listed there soon! And everything will be offered in my Etsy shop early this week!
