A Sweet Hello from Mr. Snowman

Hope you had a great day! Just when I thought I was having "one of those days" a friend told me my hair looked really pretty today. Isn't funny how a simple compliment out of no where can brighten your day??? So...for the rest of the season...I am going to try to go out of my way to compliment my friends...I mean...they are all great & amazing...I need to tell them more often:) I appreciate all of you too!! Your BLOGS give me sweet encouragement!!!

Peace & Love...Kristin

Custom Orders...Done!!

I finally can check "Custom Orders" off of my to do list!! They are finished, shipped & delivered!! What a relief!! I started working part time this summer...after being a stay at home mom for 11 years. I have had a bit of a struggle getting used to the fact that I do not have as much time as I used to...to get all the million things done! No complaints here...I am very thankful for the job...and my business...BUT I am ready for all this juggling to slow down a BIT. and REALLY looking forward to 2, 3 day weekends in a row coming up...to spend some sweet time with my family.

I hope that you have a beautiful...blessed Monday!!

Love...Kristin
