Happy Monday

Hello dear friends!

I hope that you all had a super Monday! I’m saying this in a *very* chipper voice- today was a great day! Let me fill you in on the details…..

1) My sister got her first “real” job! Oh my goodness, it sounds like her job is going to be awesome! She will have full benefits + good pay + flex hours! I must admit I’m a tiny bit jealous, but I’m super happy for her.

2) I had a very productive day at work. Since this is the last week we are in until 2010, I wanted to be sure we get inventory taken care of, everything cleaned, paperwork filed, etc…. I packed an order that was only supposed to take 2 hours max. Well, it ended up taking FOUR hours. Let me tell ya, I was NOT happy about this. With so much to be done, I was wishing I could just throw the items in the last two boxes. However, I DID do it nice and neat, and everything ended up working out alright.

3) After being extremely frustrated, I quickly checked my email via my phone. I was shocked to see a large order from my Etsy shop! You have no idea how happy I was. I could have done a happy dance right there at work…don’t worry, I didn’t….Now that things are moving in my lil shop, I’ll need to add more soon. Guess that will mean I have to start creating NEW items for the blog and Etsy. Hope you all don’t mind. ;)

4) I got a pedicure and my nails done. I LOVE getting pedicures and getting my nails painted. I got a deep, sparkly red- so festive and Christmas-like! I would show you a picture but my nails are disgustingly dry from this winter weather. Is anyone else dealing with this problem?!

5) I came home to have my little brother tell me I had presents under the tree. I went and checked and saw that he wrapped two little gifts for me. Oh my goodness, he is just the sweetest thing ever! I knew right away what they were- let’s just say he knows his big sister well. :) I’ll post a pic of the wrappings another day….they are just too cute to not share….

Well, that about wraps up my day. Anything happen with you? I don’t have anything spectacular to share about the notepad I posted….just another thing that I sold at the craft fair. I made FIVE of these and they all sold! Would anyone be interested in purchasing one like it if I added it to my Etsy store? Let me know….I may swing by my “supplier” and get more notepads. ;)
