My Precious Little Man...

I just wanted to introduce you to my precious little man... Dusty... whom we also refer to as "Roscoe" when he is being rowdy! I LOVE HIM!

Another Year Gone!

Wow, I am just blown away with the thought of this year being gone already! It was the biggest yet for Georgia Jewels... very exciting and demanding all at the same time. All I have to do is think about getting taxes and inventory done and I just want to crawl into a cave and paint on the walls! I HATE that.

It's been a very busy December. We've had the unexpected task and blessing to take in a Russian orphan for a month.

We found out about the opportunity one day and she arrived the next. She has numerous medical conditions and so we have spent the past two and a half weeks taking her to doctors. It has stretched us but it is just a blessing to be God's hands and feet to her right now!

I just want to thank all my wonderful customers and encouragers. I am not sure what the next year holds for Georgia right now but we'll see where God takes it. With the arrival of our second adopted one this summer... I don't know how I'll be able to do it anymore... we'll see... we are waiting for guidance!

Anyway, for now, I am selling beads on my site and have some wonderful customers. Maybe when the dust clears... I'll start making wonderful things again!

Happy New Year and Many Blessings to you all!!

Happy Birthday Baby!

My precious husband had a birthday this week and we celebrate our 8th anniversary next week! We've been together 15 years and our love continues to grow and deepen... way cool! So I was taking pics on my wedding album for the linen as a back drop and there we were in the background. So I used them on my etsy site and showed him this morning.... he was so cute as he smiled a precious smile and kissed me! OK... enough already.

I managed to get to pilates and make a few pieces and get them posted... and have lunch with my daughter at school! Yeah... day two of new goal accomplished! Still have a load of laundry for tonight and "Oceans 13" to watch!!!

Finding Balance

Ok, trying to balance life lately is a chore in itself! I have been trying to streamline my time on etsy so I can actually get other things done! I am trying a new thing now... well... today is day 1.

My new approach is to spend time in the morning, after taking Abby to school, to make three pieces and photograph them and then download them into my shop. Then I will try and just spend 15 minutes in the forums and treasury and favorites. SO... day one has worked and I am off to get some errands taken care of before Abby comes home from school!

Now what am I going to do when I have Pilates on Thursday morning and 2 hour bible study on Friday morning... will think of alternate plan for those days!
