A Cold Winter's Night ....Finally !

                                                                    Hey Y'all!

{magnolia topper because its the South y'all}
'Tis the season & I've been busy job hunting, crafting & Christmas'ing! The cold weather is finally here {freezing point tonight!!} & I've got a cupp'a hot cocoa to keep me warm.

I hope y'all are having a wonderful Christmas season thus far! The roomie {A} + I put up our tree last weekend after getting festive at Christmas Made in the South ... It was my first time going to it and I must say I did find something for my Sister+B.I.L. -- always love to support those small businesses and craftsmen!

I've also been on a gift-making spree ... the *bests* presents were made tonight & shall be wrapped carefully and mailed in the next day or two. I want to post pictures but, well that would ruin their surprise! I'll post photos in about a week :)
Momma+L's present was partially made tonight, a "green" project that came about from using a piece I found at a local antique mall {my favorite, 3 miles from home...dangerously close}... working on something creative for my Daddy, Handsome Man and the Grandparents!

As {A} said when walking into my room "I love coming in here - it's so whimsical" ... she probably meant whimsical as in I'm covered in Martha's glitter ...used paint brushes all over the floor ... random patterned ribbons strewn about ... I do love to make a good mess :)

The job front has had some action, but nothing terribly promising until today when I received an email asking me to come for an interview with a {great} non-profit on Friday!! I'm terribly excited but also armed with questions of permanency, as the last {"great"} non-profit turned out to be less than stellar. Prayers are welcomed for this position, it's an Event Coordinator and will incorporate some of the athlete type activities I've done with Ironman back in the day. This is really a great shot -- will keep y'all posted!

I'm excited to be home in just over a week for Christmas {a week early} & then off to celebrate New Years with Handsome Man.

Oh and I have officially copyrighted my small biz name and logo, as well as being registered with the state as a sole proprietorship!!! The website will be up as soon as I get my "gallery" of events uploaded. I'm thinking January will be a great time to launch Sugar Bean Event Studio. Very excited about what God will bring me through some contract business ... oh! and I have my first booking for 2012 for a sweet former college roommate's son who will be turning 1... really looking forward to sharing about Sugar Bean's adventures!

That's it for now y'all ... time for the red flannel polka dotted jammie pants and slippers. I wish everyone a beautiful December!

  3. If I didn't LOVE details and minute questions about everything, I wouldn't be starting this business :) No Worries Riley!
