Dog Days of Winter

I am following the dog's lead today...

I apologize now to family, friends, and coworkers that may pick up my germs.
Enough said...

Hope your weekend is better than mine,

Before and After

It was time...6 months is way to long to wait for a trim. My naturally curly hair is tamed with a Chi and cut into a sassy new do. I will wear it curly most of the time...cuz that's just much easier.
I love how shiny it looks straight. I can still wear a pony tail..it's tiny but I can put it up if needed for running or motorcycle riding. Taking the family a bit of time to get used to it..but as for me...I LOVE IT!

will you be mine?

Ever since Christmas season has passed I have turned my energy to Valentine's Day. I have not decorated for Valentine's Day yet but I am crafting up a flurry of hearts. Midwest winter is relentless and I have to keep my mind and fingers busy.


I am officially starting my running routine tomorrow. I haven't done any physical exercise since early December. So, tomorrow is the day snow or shine!


You can find these sweet cupcake cottages in my shop.



I have tomorrow off for Martin Luther King Day...no pay..but will be enjoying the day shopping with my sister nonetheless. Photo Courtesy of Things That Make me Like America.

What an impact this speech has had for civil rights.

Enjoy your week, Sweets!

The Pink Chicks

Just saying...I have listed 4 pink sweeties in my shop.

A few more Valentine items and yes a few glitter cottages for Valentine's day should be listed this weekend also...crossing my fingers.

Happy Saturday,

Oh my Pinkness!

If you have read my Christmas Eve post, you would have seen the large box my hubby had for me under the tree. This is what was in the box...Yay!

Now on with the Pinkness...


Here are the lovebirds without their eyes and beaks.


I didn't end up using the red hearts..I was patiently waiting for polka dot hearts I had ordered off of Etsy.


Ring around the Rosy.


The hearts have arrived today!!! Now to finish my order from my favorite blogger..Elizabeth.

Seriously she orders them by the dozen!

I believe they do make much more of a statement in batches. Sweet Peeps on their way to Ohio.

A few more were made and will be added to my shop in a day or two.

Happy Wednesday and let's hope the weekend is here soon,
