DouBLe DiGitS!!!

YAY!!! number TEN was great!! On Tuesday evening, my son Jayson, in town for Christmas was hanging out with his friends... I was lonely at home and sending him texts to try and get him to feel guilt for not being with me... well, what I got in return was even better!!! He sent me a text asking if I worked on Christmas eve... I said no, he sends a text back and asks if I want to see Twilight with him that day!!!! YAY! so, we made plans to do that. I was running some last minute Christmas errands when I get a text from my friend Lynsie. She was in town for Christmas and wanted to see what I was doing, so I called her and invited her too! So, we all went... BUT in all the excitement I forgot my camera... luckily Lynsie had hers, so we took a couple pictures...... she is supposed to email them to me (HINT HINT) but hasn't yet. I decided to take a pic of the ticket stubs instead, then realized that I washed them with my jeans, but luckily you can still see most of the writing!

I had a blast, Lynsie loved the movie too, but I think Jayson didn't appreciate me grabbing his leg when I first saw Edward, OR me saying "I've been there" to the places in the movie I have visited! LOL

SO, lucky for all of you reading this and all my other posts regarding me seeing the movie AGAIN, I think I am going to wait and see it next on DVD, which I will purchase the day it comes out! I heard possibly April as to when that will happen, so I am shooting for the 21st.... a Tuesday and MY birthday!!!

How much do I love my customers?????

I was at the post office the other night and well,,, it is a very busy time of year. However, getting my orders to my customers is important to me.

I did my thing at the automatic postage thingee (OME, I am super fast at that now!) then I was putting packages into the drop thing, and there were too many in there already, so the door was jammed. Well, I was determined to get mine in there too as they are certanily more important than the one that was causing the problem... so I stuck my not thin arm in there, but stupidly pushed up the lever and smashed my arm! OUCH!!!! There were other people around, so of course I pretended that I was not in pain, and left.... when I got up in the morning, I saw this bruise and wondered where it came from,,, then remembered!! LOL

The most important thing is everything was mailed off with love that night! and I would do it again too!!!

NuMbEr NinE was DIVINE!

take one

take two
take three

take four

take five!!! we give

I had so much fun with my mom at the movie!!! I think we had the most fun taking the pictures before the movie started! I had my mom take them as she was on the correct side for the camera.

What did I learn from the evening out?? Having fun is essential!! I should have "freshened up" after working all day and then going out, I need a new camera and most important....

I STILL LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!

MoViE

I am going to see #9 tonight.... I wanted to go in honor of it being the original release date... so really, the 9th time is like my first time!!! I can't believe how difficult it was to find someone to go with me!! Tonight seems like a very popular Christmas party evening!! (I KNOW it was that and not that people didn't want to see it again!) So, my cute mom is going with me, she is making a big sacrifice to stay up late too!
If you stumbled upon my "negative feedback" post, I am sorry! (now deleted) After I had time to think I have AWESOME and SWEET customers and repeat customers that have become my friends! that is the important thing! I think I have put in over 50 hours this week on TW stuff alone, besides working my full time day job! perhaps I have been a bit sleep deprived???? And when I have slept, I have been dreaming about vampires and bookends too! lol
Anyway, enjoy your day!!!!!

How was your weekend?

I spent my weekend fulfilling orders for my fellow Twilighters! Thanks to TwilightMOMS and being vendor of the month, I received over 100 orders this weekend.

I am totally caught up too!!!

As you can see from the pictures, I got everything out today! I think I am officially an expert at the automatic postage machine at the post office now!!! When I got home, I had 7 new orders and I am excited to work on them when I get home from working my (other) full time job! lol I want to seriously thank my awesome mother!!! She came to my messy, gross house and helped me package and address stuff and painted wood. It was so great! I looked at my big folders of orders to ship and wondered if I would be able to get them done before I went to work on Monday... and thanks to her and my incredible daughter Jess, I did it! Jess picked up supplies , peeled vinyl and sanded wood for me (as well as cooked me dinner!)... they both just saved my life! Now, I am exhausted (I worked almost 30 hours this weeknd)!! Hopefully I won't dream about designing new bookends like I did last night and will dream about Edward... or Rob!

WeLcOmE TwiLiGhT mOmS!!

I am so excited to be vendor of the month for December, I have been working very hard.... seriously, you can just at my messy house and empty fridge for proof! lol

yay... again!

Alice Cullen???

Last night, I got to do something great! It was so much fun!!! I helped out a friend and delivered a secret santa envelope to someone in need. When I went to the door, I introduced myself as Alice Cullen and that I was there to personally deliver this envelope, and to have a very Merry Christmas. It was so much fun, not only playing "Alice" but helping someone out was great! I asked my friend while we were driving home if she had more money that I could deliver to somebody else!! yay!!!

Tis the season!!!

When my kids were young, I had all these ideas of how we would laugh and bond while decorating the tree with some Christmas movie playing in the background. Well, year after year, it would start that way, then would turn into a fight. The boys would go upstairs and Jessika and I would finish the tree not speaking to each other. Last year when I put up my tree alone with no kids around, it fell over 2 days later... I cleaned it up and put everthing away and didn't have a tree. I HATE putting the tree up, not decorating it,,, but the actually putting the tree together and getting the lights on. My hands hurt thinking about it! Maybe it is from working 10 years in a craft store and fluffing trees till my hands would bleed??? Now that my kids are grown and I have nobody to fight with... I had to get creative. So I just took this little tree I have in my guest bedroom and put some TW colored stuff on it... but I felt like it needed more with this tiny tree in a big room. So, I designed and cut these vinyl decorations and simply applied them to the wall. I think it turned out so cute!!! Well, except for you can see where my son made a hole in the wall and it never got finished being patched up from several years ago!! lol
