Whooo hooooooo....

This months edition of the VDBC NEWSLETTER went out yesterday!!!! Did you get it?!?! Well if not click HERE to do so!!! You do not want to miss this edition! There are several FREEBIES and there is even an article written by yours truly about knife offset!! Yep - some way cool stuff if I do say so myself!!!

Not a lot to report today I am afraid... I have been hard at work trying to get my Oct grab Bag files finished up!!!! (I have to say I am loving the subject this month and I think you are going to be very pleased with the original designs that are going to be offered!!!)

I have also been cranking out tiles and dealing with some health issues as well. I think if I could sleep for a month, I would and maybe I would feel better! I know that all my issues are stress related, but that doesn't make them any easier to deal with.

Hopefully something will come up and be finalized about hubby's job soon. That would relieve most of the stress (as it stands right now he doesn't have a job after Sept 30th!!!), if not all of it. I am trying to just put it in God's hands and know he will provide. But for some reason or another my body isn't listening to my heart!!!!

But enough about my woes! Hope you are all well and make sure you go check out that newsletter!!!! If there is a topic you would like to see me cover in an upcoming article - leave me a comment!

Until Next Time!

Another non stop day...

Hey there everyone! Sorry about not making it on here yesterday, it has just been one non stop day right after another... and today isn't looking any better!!

Yesterday I had lunch with one of my friends and an amazing photographer, Stacy. (If you live in the Savannah area you really should check her out!! She is running "a cute kid" contest right now and the winner will receive a free photo session worth $175!) You can find her website here!
Anyway - I had lunch with Stacy yesterday and after lunch we "pimped her ride" with vinyl! Yep I took her logo and turned it into a cutter file - then I cut her logo out of perm vinyl and we applied it to the back windows of her car!! It turned out awesome!!! And as a matter of fact she just told me a little ago that someone flagged her down in the school drop off line this morning to ask for a business card!!! The Power of Advertising at work!!! LOL

Additionally, as well as making vinyl for her car windows, I also took her logo and turned it in to tile for her to display in her studio!! Here is a photo of the finished tile -


Then here is a photo she took once she got it put up!!!

Turned out pretty awesome if I do say so myself!!!!

Speaking of tiles - I hope to have the military tiles that I sneak peeked a few weeks ago up by the end of the month! I had agreed to do a fund raiser with a unit here in GA so I decided to hold off putting them on my site until we had finished up there fund raiser!!! (I am swamped right now making tiles for them - I have 29 waiting on me right now with more orders pending!!!) So make sure you watch for those to come soon!

Let me get on out of here. This stuff isn't going to make itself! (Oh and not to mention I just realized I am a feature designer for Oct's grab bag!!! I've got to get those designs done as well!!! YIKES!!)

Hope you have a GREAT DAY!!

Until Next Time~

Why...

Why is it that Monday's are always soooo crazy?!?! I just don't get it!!!

Sorry I am so late posting today - but today has been a crazy crazy day!! I actually thought, man I need to grab some lunch - and then I looked at the clock - and it is 5:30 PM. Uh a little late for lunch I am thinking!!!

I have spent the better part of the day getting some items ready for the VDBC newsletter together!! You HAVE signed up for the newsletter right?!?! There are some great things coming out this time - including a helpful article written by ME!!!

So how was your weekend? We actually had a great time! It was the "Hail and Farewell" and "Change of Command" weekend for us. On Saturday night hubby was "hailed and farewell'ed" from our old unit - and starting today we belong to a new unit. It was very hard to say goodbye to some of these people! The Cav unit has been really awesome to us and we have experienced some of the best leadership we have every worked with in this unit!!

I was soo proud of my hubby - they presented him with the unit "Colors":



And then they presented him with a statue called "I was there".

Really amazing!!!

Just as we are both sad to be leaving our old unit and our friends, we are both excited to be moving to our new unit! Can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for us there. We are also hoping and praying that we will end up with a full time job there come Oct 1st. (As of right now, we are still going to be jobless come Oct 1st! Which isn't very far away at all!!! YIKES!!!)

Got to run - hope you all have a "less stressful Monday" than I seem to be having!

Until Next Time!
