Yipee Skipee!!

Today I had my first sale on Etsy!! Hooray for me! I am hoping for many more in the future. Also, I will be extending my sale through Sunday (on both my website & Etsy) so be sure to take a look. EVERYTHING is 30% off!! Plus, free shipping if you mention my blog. The links are to the right. I will be adding a couple of new things today, and hopefully even more over the next week. Time to start creating! Happy shopping!! :o)

Bad Blogger...

I must admit, it will take me some time to get into the groove of this blogging thing. I get so busy during the day that I don't even think about blogging. I guess I feel like I don't have a lot to say. It was nice to hang out with my mom last week, even though I spent way too much money and caused my husband some serious distress.
I am trying really hard not to get a cold right now. Madison and Andrew have both had minor colds, and I can feel it coming on. I have been using Zicam & vitamin C. My chiropractor recommended drinking unpasteurized Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with some water & honey (for sweetness). I think I would rather have a cold! Please, feel free to share any other ideas you have for fending off a cold.
I have been in a bit of a creative slump lately. I haven't made any new jewelry in a while and I miss it. I guess it is hard to get excited about making new things when nothing is selling. If you haven't already checked out my website, please take a minute to do so. www.sterlingandstonesjewelry.com
Everything is on sale right now in honor of the fact that I am "on strike" from EBay. The sale goes through the 28th (unless I decide to extend it). I will also give free shipping to anyone who mentions my blog, but you have to email me with a list of the items you want so that I can send you an invoice with the shipping changed. If you try to purchase through the website, it will automatically charge you shipping. So get shopping!!
Off to take care of my family and all that mothery stuff.

Shopping Anyone?

I promised I would tell you all about my newest family member...Bosch. It's my new dishwasher! Sad but true, I am excited about a dishwasher. I suppose the even sadder thing is that is was my Valentine's present. But really, my old dishwasher is almost 11 years old, and it was in pretty sad shape. I am soooo thrilled not to have to wash the dishes before I put them in the dish washer. DUH! I have had a lot of fun playing with my new toy. I am sure Cory hopes the excitement never wears off!



We have had a busy couple of days so I haven't been able to write. On Monday we all went down to St. George for the day. My mom is in town this week, the kids were out of school & Cory is on vacation all week. Woo Hoo! We went to lunch with my mom, my sister Abi & her family, and my mom's parents. Then we did some shopping and went to see The Spiderwick Cronicles. I enjoyed the movie, but I would say it was a bit too intense for the kids. They spent a lot of time covering their eyes. We had a good time though & it was nice to enjoy some T-shirt weather for a change.



Today, my mom came up here to hang out with me for the day. We went to lunch after we dropped Andrew off at Kindergarten, then we did some more shopping (of course), and came home to play with beads and visit.



I am looking forward to hanging out with her again on Thursday in St. George and doing even more shopping. I am sure Cory is NOT looking forward to that! Off to watch a movie with my hubby. Later!
