Glassy Baby

My heart is a flutter with my love for my two new glassy baby's.
They are the perfect Seattle colors and just me smile every time I look at them.

Monday was a very special day for me. It was my birthday and the start of a new decade for me. I had a very low key day, which was nice. I spent time with my father and my good friend Jennifer.

This week has been very busy with business meeting in preparations for the upcoming holiday season. I have two exciting things to announce but it looks like they will be delayed until November. Or at least until the end of September.

I will be officially going on my first real vacation the second week in September. I will be out of the office for a whole week. I am looking forward to a little break and some traveling adventures.

Can I shout this from a Moutain?

Can I just tell you all how happy life has made me lately!
This summer there has been downs, but as we get closer to the fall, I have come to realize that the UP's are so much better and stronger.

I attended my monthly Women in Business breakfast and I feel like I am floating. I have had so many wonderful signs from the universe and surprises that everyday is starting to feel like Christmas. My goal list is getting shorter because they are manifesting at a quick rate.

My life is has been changed 100% from what it was a year ago. And yes, this process was and has been very painful but it has also given me strength to push forward and realize my dreams. I sometimes have to pinch myself after leaving a meeting about my company because clients are being so generous and kind. I have met so many amazing people in these last few months of pain, that not only have helped me personally but also professionally. There is so much love out there that I have never been so grateful in my whole life.

I am looking forward to a nice and quiet birthday weekend. I am going to make my new goals list, spend time alone and just prepare for the Studio Opening Party I am having next month. There are about 4 times more people than I can fit into my studio but it is only to be great none the less.

Too Long!

It has been too long since I last updated my blog. Things have been so busy with the move, the dental surgery I had, fixing up my office, seeing out of town friends and just trying to make it through the summer.

It is getting closer to the Fall/Winter which is my favorite time of year. I am really excited for the change of seasons. Maybe it is memories of starting school, but the fall time always makes my brain feel happy.

I had the pleasure of recently meeting Nonie who is an owner of Butter London. This nail salon is my new love. They have special nail products that are without the yucky chemicals in them. I can't say enough good things about this company. I am taking my sister there next week!

I will be taking one last vacation in the beginning of September and then it is work time for me. I have two huge contracts coming up for candles so it will be a very busy winter for me.

If you are ever in Fremont / Ballard stop by my new studio!
I am always up for visitors!

Rest in Peace

Today the most wonderful dog, Ropa, has passed away.

Ropa was my sister's dog and an ex-show dog. She was an older dog but so gentle and sweet. Even though she was so skinny, she hated the heat. She loved carrots and apples and would just come up to you and gently give you a kiss with her nose.

She has been sick for a while but would still get up when I came over and say hello. She will be missed greatly!

So True
