~~!!!~~I'M SO EXCITED~~!!!!!~~






















Hello hello to everyone!!! Its been a full month since I last posted. A month filled with sadness, regret, anticipation, elation and so many more emotions...a mentally exhausting month. :) However...........I have some wonderful news to share!! Here's the scoop:
**************************************************************
First and foremost, I want to thank you all for the support you've given me and the kind words of encouragement, when I lost my job. It meant SO much! Love and hugs to each and every one of you ♥ ♥ ♥

Sooo, a lot has happened to me over the last week and a half. I'll *try* to give you the condensed version :)))

3/25 - a good friend, who also happens to be my old boss, called to wish me a belated HB and found out that I was being laid off. She said, "oh thats a shame...we just filled your old position last week". Huh. Interesting.

3/26 - she calls me first thing in the morning to tell me that somehow...overnight, the girl they'd hired was not going to be working out after all. WHAT???!!!! My old position was open again. ~CRAZY~!!! She then proceeded to tell me that she missed me and wanted me to come back; that I would be absolutely perfect for the job, and to go online and fill out the application and send it in. WHOA. Over that weekend (28-29)...I did. :D I finished up my resume (which at that point I still hadn't finished) and did the app. Submitted it and prayed it went thru ok, and I remembered everything....ugh - so nervous

3/31 - I received a call from the headquarters of the company telling me they'd like me to come in for an interview on 4/2. HEEEEEE!!!! I was so excited!! Doesn't this sound like..meant to be? It was amazing how it all just fell into place!!!

4/2 - I had a "testing" interview at the HQ at 8:00am, followed by the 'in person' interview at a different location at 10:45am. Girls...I was freakin SO nervous!! lol During the testing phase, I felt like I was on that show..."Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?" LOLOL!!!! They tested my math skills! Dee dee dee!!!!!! :D Anyway, the testing and interview seemed to go well; although I was nervous, I felt good about everything when I left. And I looked awesome!! LOL I was rockin a new outfit! Heck yeah!! :D

4/3 - since I was officially unemployed, I had the day off Friday. I was waiting all day with the house phone and my cell phone by my side. Why? I don't know...they told me it would be no more than a week before I'd hear anything. Plus, they're known for being slow. ---- 5:45pm rolls around and my old boss calls me. "Have you heard anything?" She was just excited..., I said, "No...too soon I think". We hung up and not 5 minutes later the HQ calls and offers me the job. OMG OMG OMG!!!!! AHAHAHAHA!!!! I was totally in shock. Not only was it just one day since my interview (and they told me they had other applicants to interview *rolls eyes*), but they ding dang waited until 5:50pm on a Friday to call me?? INSANE!!! lol Looks like I will be starting on 4/13 - an entire week off!! Yay!!

So...needless to say I had an awesome Friday!!! lol :))))))))))) And thanks again to everyone for all the support ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ kiss kiss, love love, hug hug!!

~Hello Hi!~



















Hey everyone!
I know I've used this pic before, but I just adore it. Aaaaand, this is EXACTLY what I want to do to my boss at the moment. Heeheee!!!

I wasn't gonna blog about this, but you ALL are always so supportive and kind, so I thought..."what the heck"? I could really use some support and kindness at the moment! lol

The unemployment wave thats sweeping over our country has knocked at my door.
March 31st will be my last day. I'm not sad about losing the actual job - I've never really liked it - but I'm comfortable here - change is hard - and how in the world will I find another job with the rest of the country looking for work?? All these things and more are weighing on me this week. And I won't bore you with the details; there are too many to share. But...while we're preparing to pack up the office and move out, I may not be around the blog much. I've got TONS of stuff to do before the 31st. Anyway...thats whats happening .

Please send good energy, vibes and prayers. I'd very much appreciate it!! I'm trying very hard, VERY hard, to keep a positive outlook and trying to find the good in the situation. Its hard to do when you're angry. But I shall persevere!

I hope you all have a wonderful day!!!
Love & Peace,
Ang ♥

~Can You Believe It?~

SNOW DAY ! ! ! ! ! Hooraaaay!!!















What do you mean I can't go to the office? ~ daaaaang... hee hee
Yes, it SNOWED!!! {and no, that isn't really my car} - OMG, it was absolutely the most beautiful sight...I can't tell you how happy I was when it was snowing...it was so gorgeous and falling in big ol fluffy, enormous snowflakes ---- snowed for over 5 hours straight!!! I loved every minute of it!! ♥ ♥

Since it doesn't snow here very often, the entire city seems to shut down. lol I don't mind, that...hehe :)P
So, here I sit with my tea, looking out at the snow covered yard - having a grand time doing nothing! Muahahaa!! I'm taking the day off! Whoooooooooo Hoooooooooooo! lol

Have a great day everyone! I should be back around tomorrow :))

Love & Peace to All!!

Happy Monday! RAWR!!

















Good Monday morning my friends! I had a wonderful weekend; I hope you did too!! I'm not entirely sure why I chose this picture for today ~ just made me laugh! LOL RAWR!!!

I wanted to send out a huge THANK YOU to all of you who've been so supportive and kind to me over the last few weeks. Some of you know what I"m going thru, some of you don't. Suffice it to say its very hard, but with friends like you all, its been a little more bearable. So THANK YOU for your gifts of friendship; it really means the world to me knowing you're all there...ready with your words of wisdom and encouragement when I need them most of all. ♥ HUGE hugs!!!!!

A little side note ~ it was one year ago, yesterday, February 22, that I discovered Etsy. Yep. One year. I created my little account, did my research, read a TON of articles and posts in the forums and made the decision to sign up. It wasn't until August of last year that I decided to open my shop, so I was on Etsy for about 5 1/2 months, buying and wishing and LOVEING every moment of the handmade world!!! Having this shop and this blog and having met all these amazing women (and men) ☺ has completely changed my life for the better!! I just adore you ALL!!!! BUY HANDMADE! Whoot!! :)P ♥

Thats it for me today! I'll wish you a great Monday and hope you have a wonderful week!
Until later...

Love & Peace to ALL,

BAHAHA HAHA HAHA AHAHA!!!


















Dedicated to the husband. Everytime this guy comes on the TV, he mutes it. He can't stand his voice! LOL

Happy Thursday everyone! I hope you are all well and I'm sorry I haven't been around lately. I've been so busy IRL, that some things get moved to the back burner. *sigh*

Only one more day...till the weekend! Whoot Whoot!! :D I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday and if I don't get back, have a wonderful weekend as well!

Love & Peace to all,

Ang

* This and That *
















Good morning everyone :)

Just giving a quick update. I'm feeling a little better about my situation, but quite frankly I've been having a small pity party for myself. But...I'm still truckin right along with life. I'm still trying to be positive and look on the bright side {yes there actually is one!}, but its been difficult. Why is it so hard to stay positive? I mean, the last thing I need is to be down in the dumps, but I couldn't help it. Needed to stay at home and lick my wounds this weekend. Aaaand its Monday, so I'm sticking my head out of the den, slowly emerging, trying to get back on track. And...this picture was perfect for me this morning. Still a little blurry, can't see clearly yet, but I'm sure it will all be fine, somehow. I promise to send a few emails soon. Have a wonderful day :)

Love to all

First . . . An Insight

















Good Morning my friends ♥ I'm having a rough morning and really wasn't feelin a post, but I read this Insight and just wanted to share it. I'm very comfortable in my comfort zone, hehe, so this gave me something to think about.

"If you have the courage to step outside of your comfort zone, you will not only be amazed by the marvel and sights of the world, but also with the wonders that lay deep within yourself."
Rosanna Ienco
From her new book Awakening the Divine Soul - Finding Your Life Purpose


So, I don't know how much courage I have to face whats coming in my life. There's a fear - there's nervousness - there's a sense of dread. Its very overwhelming. But I shall persevere! I keep telling myself everythings going to be fine, but will it? I can't know. Anyway, I'd appreciate any good vibes and prayers you can throw my way. Love to all :)

Next, and I can't believe it, I've received another award! Whoot!! My darling friend, Sharon of Mana Moon has given me yet another award - she must really luv me! lol :)) ♥
Thank you Sharon! Your blog is an absolute delight, so for YOU to bestow this upon me, is quite an honor. I appreciate you more than you know. Biiiiiig Hugs to you lady! ♥ ♥

From my dear friend Sharon :)












Thats it for me - I wish you ALL a happy Wednesday! Forced Affection Day, I mean Valentines Day is coming up! Love love love!!! hee hee!!

Peace & Love,

Angie

☺ ~~HAPPY FRIDAY~~ ☺






















Good Morning everyone!! Happy Friday ♥ I know I've posted this pic before, but its been a while and I've got some new stalkers...er, I mean followers *snort* and I really wanted to use it again. CRACKS me up! Hehee :)

And...a couple more pictures: My boys! ♥ The pics are a little blurry, I know...but I'm tellin ya...getting them to sit still long enough to take a pic is tough - we were using treats to get them to sit for these pics lol

This is Oliver or "Oliver-sudden" (because you're minding your own and look over and all of a sudden he's there) - "Olivarious" or "Oli-hair" :)
He's my little Sheltie. I always call him a "Miniature Sheltie" because he's the smallest Sheltie I've ever seen, but apparently there's no such thing as a miniature Sheltie. So he's my little miracle boy; I always tell him he's one of a kind. LOL And omg...is he spoiled. Seriously...how can you get mad at this face? When he ate Dan's Lazy-Boy...Dan just picked him up and loved on him. So wrong!! LOL






















And this is my big buddy boy Mac - or "Mac-a-doodle" - "shoogie boogie" - "Mom's best boy" - "Macaroni" - or "Mackie" He's a shepherd/lab mix.
He's my old man. He's stubborn as the day is long, has selective hearing and wants what he wants when HE wants it *rolls eyes* and of course we oblige him. Heheee :) He also does this thing with his throat when I tell him "No" - like he clears it or its a loud sigh or something. I call it "his back-talk" LOL He's 13 and doing great for his age. I think Oliver keeps him young. They play all the time.

So there ya go - those are my boys. Its amazing to me how much they're like children. Thank goodness they can't talk back BAH!!!

Mmmm-kay class, thats all I've got for today. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Was it just me or did this week just fly by? Its sure seemed like it. Hey...thats awesome! Whoooooot!

Be good, be safe and be kind to each other -
Love & Peace Y'all ♥,

HURRY!!! - QUICK!!!...somebody call Angelina Jolie ~ this guy needs some help. *giggle-snort*

Happy Wednesday everyone :) I can't believe the week is half way over already - seems to be flying by and you won't get a complaint outta me. As far as I'm concerned, weekends can't get here soon enough. Whoot!! :)

Soooo, {♫ a needle pulling thread..♪) hehe - my Etsy shop has been buzzing over the last two weeks. Ever since I joined the "team", my jewels and I have been introduced to some wonderful women. I am SOO grateful to be a part of this team. Thanks again Sharon, for putting it all together and getting everyone on board - and well...for everything you do. You are such an inspiration to me and I know to many others. So I'm sending you a BIG WARM BEAR HUG ~ Love ya loads lady...

I've lots of earring designs in the works, as well as a few necklaces. I'm taking this whole 'inspiration' thing very slowly. I don't know why really...its just moving at a snails pace. Fine by me. I'd rather take my time and make them special than crank out piece after piece like some machine. Not gonna do it. Wouldn't be prudent. hehe

I was reading thru some of my feedback from my shop last night and saw a comment that said, "I love the uniqueness of this shop". That made me feel like a million bucks! But it got me thinking about what actually needs to be done as far as my designs go. There's a challenge, each time I make a pair of earrings or a necklace to make it something special/different. So, thats what I'll think of when I sit down to make something "think unique!" That word seems to be so overused, but when people see my designs, I want them to know that they won't see something like it in a mall or on anyone else for that matter. Thats what makes it special. Thats what makes it handmade. Buy Handmade! Whoot! :) lol

Thats it for me. This post has taken much longer than anticipated. I wish all of you a wonderful Wednesday!!! ♥

Love & Peace to All,

Monday ~ Monday ~ Monday















Well?? What do ya think? I got a ton of cleaning done this weekend... :) *snort*

Hello people...aaaaand its Monday again. Ding dang Mondays. They seem to come around every week. Duuuuude - what a drag. hehe

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Despite having to do some heavy cleaning, my weekend was great! Whoot!

Oh...and if you heard a *THUD* sometime during the weekend, it was me falling off that 'ol diet wagon. Yep. Crash and burn. Ugh. How am I expected to be really diligent and stay on track when there are yummy things everywhere I turn? You see, I have no will power when it comes to chocolate, ice cream and brownies. Oh, and also tortilla chips and salsa. Oh, and any kind of pizza. Oh, and fried foods too. Oh, well...you get the idea. Usually during the weekends, when my fridge is stocked, I'll do pretty good. When the stock is low, thats when I get into trouble. *sigh* However, I refuse to beat myself up over it. One day at a time, I always say. Thank goodness for another day! lol

Alright people, its time for me to wrap this up and wish you all a good productive week. I'm off to put my face on *snort* and have my 3rd cup of tea. Wheeeee! (yep, I'm a little hyper)

Have a great day everyone!
Love & Peace,

~Backside Friday~













Teeeheee!!...Nice view :P

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!! Wheeeee! Its the weekend!!!! *happy dance*

You all know how I love the weekend ~ I guess it mostly comes from not loving my day job ~ because when Friday rolls around, I am giddy like a little school girl :)) AND...if being a glorious Friday isn't enough??, I'm only here for a few hours today and then its home I go! Whoot!!

I have a few projects in the works with my jewelry (Yay!!), and several things to do around the house. I know it isn't Spring yet, but the urge to "Spring clean" has been overwhelming the past few weeks. Now... most of you have never been to my house, but if you had..you'd know that the "overwhelming urge to clean" doesn't hit me very often. I mean...I don't want to think of myself as "domestically disabled", but I'd rather put a fork in my eye than dust and vacuum. ICK-POO. Sooooo, when the urge comes on, I roll with it as much as it pains me. LOL Then inevitably...I'm so proud of myself that everything is shiny and smells so wonderful! Love a clean house --- just don't wanna clean it myself. Fancy a maid? Why of course! heheee :)

Other than all of that, I've no other plans. Laundry is caught up (hellz yeah!) and my only other plans for the weekend are puttering around the house and playing on PV. Thats it. Isn't that AWESOME?!!? Whooooooo Hoooooooooo!!!

I also forgot to mention ~ had another sale! Yay!!!!!!!!!! And...[she knows who she is :) ] it was from another jewelry designer, no less. Seriously...its such a compliment to me when another jewelry artist admires and purchases something. Such an honor! So Thanks, L!! I heart you more than my luggage. BAH!!!

SO, my friends ~ I wish you all a happy Friday and a wonderful productive weekend! Be safe, be kind to each other and enjoy it!!!

Much love & Peace,

~* INSIGHT OF THE DAY *~

















"We were not created to be eaten by anxiety, but to walk upright, free, unafraid in a world where there is work to do, truth to seek, love to give and win."

Joseph Ford Newton
Author
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
What a beautiful insight! Don't ya think? If I could remember this every time I start to worry or feel anxious - it'd do me a world of good - but its very hard, isn't it? When faced with adversity, we tend to only focus on that hardship, whatever it may be. Not good! Because all we're doing is attracting the negative, sad, anxious, nervous feelings and emotions to ourselves and our surroundings. If you are constantly focusing on the bad...how can you EVER see the good?

So here's your challenge: When faced with pessimism, challenges, controversy - stop and think. Try to change your focus. Look for the positive in the situation - there's always something positive - just search for it. Once you start to change your thought process to the positive, things will absolutely fall into place. Every time.

I hope you ALL have a wonderful day! I can see Friday just around the corner! :D
Love & Peace to all ♥,

~Here We Go Again...~






















Goooooood Monday Morning everyone :) So far...(its not even 7:00am though) its a good day! lol I had a wonderful relaxing weekend; I hope you enjoyed the same. ♥

Lets see...not too much to report - OH! I got another award! Whoo Hoo! My first time receiving this darling award, from Sharon no less...SWEETIE..."The Lemonade Award" ♥ For making lemonade out of the lemons life gives us. AW! I shall post it right away with the others. Thank you Sharon, for believing this of me. Some days are more difficult than others and, while I've never thought of it before, I guess the award is fitting - since more often than not, I'm challenged most everyday to "make some lemonade". Again, Sharon - Thank you!!! ♥












As far as my blog goes...I haven't devoted the time I'd like to it. I'd like to set myself up a schedule to post every Monday, Wednesday & Friday. Hehe...operative word: "like". We'll see how that goes. Right now, I'm not doing that much to blog about. But if I blog at least 3 days a week, maybe it will be a motivator to get some jewelry posted. Heheeeeee :)

Alrighty, thats it for me. I hope everyone has a great Monday, and I'll talk to you folks later!!
Love & Peace,

Hellllooooo my friends! Gawwww, I feel like I haven't blogged forever..., but yes - I'm still alive - just pluggin away everyday, doing my thing. :D Honestly, I'm just trying to get back into my routine. My body/self looooves a routine. When its thrown into sudden chaos, it usually takes me a while to get back into the swing of things. After a rough start to the new year, I'm happy to report, I'm finally feeling normal again. Yay!!! Whoot Whoot!! :D

I've also been thinking and brewing up some very cool new items for my shop. It will take me a while to get them made up, pics and uploaded, but I will post about them here when I do. OTT!!
Whoooot!

I'm awfully glad its Wednesday. And by the way, its been FREEZING here in the south. As I'm typing, I've got four layers on and two scarves - mainly because my office is on an outside wall - and I'm still too freakin cold!! Here in a minute, I'm gonna go run around the office for a few minutes. Wheeeee~ Next topic... lol

* ~.~ SHOUT OUT ~.~ *
If you have a second, please stop by "Sweets -n- Greets", formerly known as {Any Occasion Boutique) ♥ Laura is having a dang party over there!! Without further ado, I give you...

"Not Even A Crumb Left" Giveaway!!! Ok, people...scamper right on over there and enter yourself (just by posting a comment) for the "Black Tie Cookie Bars" - holy cavities Batman - are those things delicious??!!?, YES they are! I'd enter myself, but here I am...trying to be good and stay on my diet and she goes and has a ding dang giveaway. Ohh, what I wouldn't give to have one of those tasty treats right about now with my morning coffee. Hee hee!! I can tell you from experience that they're small pieces of heaven. Oh yes they are. So there you have it. :D

Alrighty then, I'm off to get some work done. I hope everyone has a wonderful day! Oh yeah,...we have a NEW PRESIDENT! Whoot Whoot!!! :D

Peace & Love Y'all!! ♥

*~^~Happy Wednesday~^~*























Hello, Hello everyone! Long time no blog. hehe
Honestly, I've not really been in the mood to blog. I'm sure that will change, but this week has been a bit different for me on the home front, so I figured the blog could wait.

Some big news - I've joined a team. And Etsy Team. WHAT??!!! Can you believe it? I never thought I would join one. But this one was started by my dear sweet friend Sharon, and because of her brizilliant mind, how could I resist? HA! I don't have a lot of time at the moment, but I will blog about it this weekend, more in depth - with links and pictures and such. It sounds so cool! I can't wait to get started!! Yay!! ♥

Sorry so short, but I've gotta go for now. I hope you ALL have a wonderful Wednesday!!!!!!
Love & Peace to ALL

SOOOO glad its Thursday ~

Good Thursday everyone! I've been absent all week from blogland, but it looks like a few others have as well. I hope everyone is doing okay...

My week has been one of transition and getting back into my routine. As much as my body loves routine, I do love a good vacation from it all. This week has been trying in more ways than one, but I am SO happy the weekend is almost here. Yay!!!

Soooo, I've been busy on Polyvore lately...*grins* Yeah, I know...I should be making jewelry. But as a dear sweet friend pointed out...Polyvore is creative too! lol

Here's a couple of my latest. Please feel free to browse and check out what I've been up to. Addiction is such an ugly word...but seriously - I can't get enough of this site! :D
{{oh! and if you can, listen to the music!}}

Happy New Year, I think...




















Yup...thats what I feel like this dreary Monday morning. I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend - I'm almost positive it was better than mine.

As many of you know, Dan's stepmom, Jean passed away last month after a long battle with cancer. Her memorial service was scheduled for Jan 3rd. We got a call on New Years Eve day that Dan's Grandmother was on her way to the hospital because of trouble breathing. Not abnormal - we didn't think anything of it really - she was doing pretty good for 89 years of age. Dan's Mom was at the hopsital with Grandma - Dan was in the area, so he drove up there to be with her. He got there 4 minutes before Grandma died. He said he got to watch her take her last breath. Sigh.

A whirlwind of scheduling ensued and Mom was able to get everything taken care of and scheduled Grandma's service on the 4th. Since everyone was already up for Jean's service, they were all able to be there for Grandma's too. It was an insane weekend filled with tears, laughter and more food than I care to remember. I'm relieved its over.

Anyway, needless to say...I'm draggin hind end today. Tired. Drained. Spent.
I'm gonna go warm up my 3rd cup of coffee.
Please...everyone try to have a good day :) I'm gonna try reeeeeeeally hard. :) Thank goodness for naps!

Love to all!
