Sneaking on...

Ok I am taking a quick sneak on the computer while hubby isn't looking!! Soooo sshhh... Don't tell!!!

I still haven't found a ball gown - well that isn't exactly true... See here's the issue... We have TWO balls to go to. One is next Saturday and then the other one is in June... So as it stands right now - I will wear a dress that I already have next Sat (unless I can find something new) and that leaves me just to look for another dress for the Ball in June. So I do still have time - kinda.

So having said all that... I was also stressing about a cocktail dress that I needed for the June event as well! And FINALLY today I found one!!! Whooo Hoooo!!! Not only did I find a dress I liked but hubby liked it as well - and the BEST part?!?! It was regularly $80 on sale for $60 - then I got $6 off for a military discount and then I got $10 off because the store was having a Birthday sale!!! Whooo Hooo!!!! Yep - you all know how I LOVE a good deal!!!

So here is a peek at the dress (and no that isn't me!!! LOL). Oh for the record I did trim the petticoat at the bottom so it was sticking out - I though that was tacky!! LOL

Ok got to run before I get caught! Hope you are all having a GREAT weekend!

Until Next Time!

Oh happy day...

Whooo hooo it is Friday!!! I am sooo sorry today's post is a little on the late side... you know you are stressed and working toooo much when you hubby says, "You're not going to work this weekend are you?" To which I replied, "Ah... why?" To which he said, "I REALLY think you need to take the weekend off!"

And then if that wasn't bad enough - my dear friend and fellow designer Chris says to me... "You know - you really should go take a hot bubble bath - and take some time for yourself... you sound uh.... well... ummm a little stressed!!" Bahahaha....

Ok - Ok - that means I REALLY need to take the weekend off! I mean hey this week has been a bugger for sure! Between trying to get my files finished up - working on the HUGE announcement that is coming up, trying to find a ball gown... (speaking of which... Did I tell you HOW much I hate shopping for a Ball Gown!!!), Dr's appointments and whatever else happened this weekend that I can't remember!! LOL

So having said all that - I have ten more new files going up in the store soon!!! That is pretty exciting - that means in just the past week I have uploaded 30 new files!!! Crazy huh?!?!?

Looking at my calender for next week holy cow - it is already looking CRAZY - so I better end this now and get back to work!!!

Hope you all have a GREAT weekend!!!

Until Next Time!

Please vote....

Ok - normally I am not one to pass on emails or even the type to ask you to go and do something for me.... BUT.....

I got this email from the kids of one of our past Pastors! Now let me first go on to tell you the Roberts Family is an AMAZING family... Phil and Lisa where a huge asset to our church and they struggle to have children... Then God Blessed them with with Ashley!! (Oh and is she precious!!!!)

A few years later it was decided that Ashley needed a little brother or little sister - so once again with the help of medical technology they were bless with not one, not two or even three or four - but with FOUR precious babies... Then 19 days after being born the Lord saw it best to take Emily home to be with him.... At that time the Roberts started up a great organization called Project Seahorse (you can read all about it here!).

I feel the Roberts deserve to win this!!! So if you would check out the letter below and if you feel lead - go and vote!!! (It actually is a pretty awesome video as well!!!)

Until Next time!

Dear Friends,

Our crazy dad likes to try to win contests, and he recently entered a “Greatest Romantic” video contest to win a 7-day Carribbean cruise for him and our mom. Somehow, the video is one of five finalists. Now…the finalist video that gets the most votes by April 14th will win the cruise. We really could use some room to breathe without our smothering parents, so…is there any way you could go to http://greatestromantic.princess.com/contest-vote.aspx?vid=1 and cast a vote for this video, titled “The Greatest Romantic???”? If you do this for us, and they win the cruise, our whole family will be eternally grateful to you! If you don’t, we fear that they will make us spend the rest of our childhood sitting on this loveseat in matching sweaters.

Thanks for your vote! And, as much as it hurts to say it, please forward this to everyone you know.

Love,
Ashley, Benjamin, Casey & Danielle

P.S. In your “spare time”, you can also stop by http://memelabs.com/gardenstate/index.php?play=2292&page=2 and vote for our video in an “unexpected proverbs” contest. Dad says that our chances of winning it are slimmer, but still worth a try—the prize is a $10,000 savings bond for us kids, with 20% going to Project Seahorse (http://www.projectseahorse.net/).

P.P.S. With either of these contests, you will have to register at the sites in order to vote—but they are not the kind where you have to give out personal info. And even if you really think we should win, please do not make up bogus names, fake screen names or false identities to let yourself vote zillions of times. One vote per real human being please!
