Where did the week go?

Wasn't it just Sunday, and we were finishing off the weekend, kids grumbling about school the next day??? HMMM It seems like every year things move faster. 

I posted new jewelry in my shop this week Meribella - Wearable Art.  Many of the items are $10.00, with FREE SHIP to US and Canada, so more affordable in this economy.  I think everyone is trying to save their pennies and watch what they spend on.  But we still need to splurge once in a while, don't we?  I am currently drooling over my Firemountain gems shopping cart....but can't seem to get the guts to finalize and PAY!!!

So not much else going on.....I thought I would share the following.....this Christmas, my boys and I were in BJ's Wholesale Club and watching a knife demonstration on these indistructable knives....yea, we have all seen this on tv....and hard to believe....but the boys  wanted to get them for their Dad, so we bought them......They ARE incredibly sharp, and can cut tomatoes paper thin.......but I guess when you try to cut chedder cheese, you don't get the same results.!~
Well, I am off to try to find where I can complain, and see if its worth trying to get a new one (The last I saw they wanted $7.95 for shipping....hmmm seems kinda steep considering the initial cost...guess you get what you pay for! 
Have a great day!!

Another Snow Day!

If you live in the Northeast, you know what I am talking about. We are in the midst of a snow storm. It snowed all day yesterday, but kept melting as soon as it hit the ground. Finally, last night it started to accumulate......but nothing like the inches I hear reported on the news! Still, its Winter and its white out. What more can you ask for!!

So today, we are in the house...to windy to play outside, at least right now. The puppies have been out playing, but now napping.

Off to make wire wrapped bracelets!!! Hopefully will post some when finished.
Have a great day!!!

Let it Snow!

In the last couple weeks we have been really lucky to have so much snow in NJ.  If it has to be winter, let it snow!  Well, this weekend we headed to Michigan to pick up our newest furry family member.  He is adorable!  Now, we are stuck in Michigan, well not really stuck but unable to leave yet, due to snow.  It is so beautiful.  Kids are sking, skating, sleding....and the 4 dog cousins are having a great time!!! So, today we enjoy the snow till it lets up and we head back to NJ.  Hopefully the snow will follow us!

Odin!!

Happy Monday to all!

Let It Snow!

If I have to live in the northeast in the winter at least let their be snow.  I was hoping it would have happened last night, so we could have our traditional late night walk in the snow with the kids.....but it didn't!  But! we did wake up to this! Keeping my fingers crossed it will keep going!
