August Gives!

This is a triple post today!  Lots to share.

Let me start off by mentioning that I'm participating in an August Giveaway! Along with a couple other lovely bloggers, we are being hosted by Sew Much Too Say.  Please hop over there and show Amanda Rose some love, as well as my fellow givers. You don't have to be a blogger to try and win the prizes!  Only 4-days left.

AUGUST! Wow.  Where has time gone. I cannot believe that we are already into August.  I feel like the summer just ran past me on one of my slow runs. Hopefully the weather stays perfect so we can all enjoy the last few weeks of summer, before all the kiddles go back to school.  (I know all the mom's that are ready for their kids to go back to school now, are screaming at me!)  I actually have my nephew again this week, so I'm happy he's not in school.  Plus I'll get another bonus visit on a long weekend with him to the beach, before school starts. Yay!

Not only is August pretty much the last fun month of the summer, my family has many birthdays this month!  No lie, with family and friends there are approximately 10+ in this month!  One week is covered with the 10th, 12th, 13th, 14th, into the following week of 20th and 21st being multiple friends and family. Then, we finish up with one pretty girl on the 31st!  It's a crazy month!   The 13th is special this year.  My baby, is turning 30!  I just can't believe it. This is us, when he was just 3-months old. 

I look like a baby myself here. Actually, I was 22 the day after I had R.A.T. (His initials. He's far from a rat!). We were 1-hour and a few precious minutes apart in sharing our birthdays. Bummer. At least he won't ever forget when his mommy's birthday is. Or he'll be in BIG trouble. 

That's enough of the birthday talk. I have a lot going on over the next two weeks to share. 

On to another subject.  

Bling, Bling, give me that ring!! 

This is a beautiful turquoise ring! 

I know I mentioned my Buy It section being up and running this past weekend, but the procrastination-bug bit me, again. I really did have a lot going on. So, I've posted a few pieces of jewelry, and I'll post more each day. I have soooo much! 

I really hope you like the pieces. I've decided I will make my page like a Flea Market. Many peeps, even though they didn't actually comment, said they can't wait and thought it to be a grand idea!  I can't wait to get more up for you to see.  

So be gentle, I'm sure I'll have a few-hundred tweaks along the way :) I am more than open to your critique, if you don't mind sharing. 

What is your August like?

Buy It News!

It sure has been a long time coming, but I am now trying to get my Buy It section up and running.  It will be a slow process, not by choice, but due to time and procrastination I fell behind...you get that, right?  Well, yes, I suppose 'procrastination' is by choice. 

In the not far 'back then' past, I had a website selling jewelry for a designer.  It was cute and fun, but it didn't really take off because I hadn't really put in the time needed to promote it.  While with blogging, it's much easier to draw attention and meet a new peeps. After starting my blog, I figured this would be a great place to sell the pieces I still have.  Depending on how it goes, I will sell what I have in inventory for now.  If it takes off and peeps like the pieces, I'll have more inventory and post new items for purchasing.

Even though I'll be selling jewelry, it will eventually be an eclectic gathering of not only new jewelry, but accessories and maybe a section of good used clothing and jewelry.  Like a flea market online. Aren't we all looking for nice things at affordable prices, new or nicely used?  Fun, right?

Here are a few samples of the jewelry pieces.  Look for the Buy It section coming alive this weekend!

Happy Friday, my peeps!
