and last but not least my talented friend Diana tagged me to list 6 quirky facts about myself so here goes :
1. I love ketchup - i eat it on lots of things including tacos (my hubby thinks i am soo bizarre!)
2. I have really small feet so i buy lots of my shoes in the kids dept. ( i wear size 3-4 in kids at target and 5 - 5 1/2 women )
3. my house is not shabby chic at all more contemporary actually ( more reds, black, creams, and tan)
4.i watch sponge bob everyday - (not by my choosing )
5. i love coffee, i drink it cold in my cup too if it has sat there - ( also hubby thinks i am wierd there too )
6. and last but not least - i hate to wear skirts of any type - i love being girlie but i just don't like my legs so i stick with pants - silly i know - ...

This past weekend at Heathers event I was able to sit and chat with Jenny and Staci Dumoski - both took home a piece of my jewelry which was such an honor for me!! and Jenny's cute daughter got a new necklace too that was so perfect for her , Drama Queen, since she participates in the Drama Dept at her school - Thanks so much girls , enjoy your new wares !! I am not sure if you know either ,but like me, Jenny has a Masters in Social Work - so awesome and it was great to share how we are still touching womens lives but in a different way now - which is very important to me since you know i love honoring "she's" - So in honor of the publication and being a part of the magazine I will be selling the kits to make the project in the magazine for Joli Paquet and giving away one of the Magical Christmas Wands from the Magazine in a giveaway next week !!! more peeks of that later ... but here is a peek of the other kit I will be offering ...
