The first day went great! Products were well received and I think we’re going to have a great show! We went straight to the bar after the show…it was definitely Miller {light} Time. Me, Kate & Stephanie went to the Grand Lux for dinner. I was so bummed – the Las Vegas Grand Lux doesn’t […]

I love music but I never let myself slow down enough to enjoy it. But I decided that since I was on a Saturday flight and had a long week of hard work ahead of me, I would treat myself to a laptop-free plane ride. Good thing since Kate & I were practically snuggling in […]

At last, my Stella arrived! Isn’t she pretty? I really got the hang of driving it today, even though it was rainy and cold. My first time on the scooter the I had a…how shall I put it…an “altercation” with the mailbox – the mailbox won – leaving me and my new bike a bit […]

Well, the biggest trade show of the year is upon us. I don’t think I’ve ever been as calm before a show as I am now. There’s a few odds and ends I need to do, but there are no all-nighters in my near future. At the show, we’re launching a new line of products […]

Did you know that dark chocolate is good for you? Well, my husband tells me it’s good for his blood pressure. Since I want to support him in his desire for good health, we often share a handful of Dove chocolates after dinner. I usually ignore the little messages inside the wrappers, but tonight I […]

What a weekend! I was in motorcycle training course all day Saturday and until 3 pm on Sunday. I’m absolutely exhausted from it. But it was fun and I passed both the tests so I can get my M class license. Saturday night Ben and I were supposed to go to a comedy club in […]

About 2 1/2 years ago, Ben and I had the brilliant idea to paint our hall a nearly black, green. On top of that, we decided to paint the hall doors so that they looked like red stained wood. I called it “Hooker Hall” because it kind of had a red light district feel. (Just […]

I’m so dang behind in my scrapbooking it’s ridiculous but I’m working diligently to catch up. I’m working on all of Nolen’s birthday parties…one year at a time. This was one of my favorite birthdays. It was his Kindergarten party. We had a “Mad Scientist” come to the Magic Scraps office and put on a […]

I am patiently waiting for my Tangerine Stella scooter to come in. I signed up to take the class for my M Class license quite a while ago, assuming that I would have already gotten my scooter and would have been able to have plenty of practice before the class. But no such luck. My […]

Ahhhh…what an excellent day! A little creativity goes a long way. Kate and I worked on new product today. It was wonderful to have the ideas flowing and getting so many details nailed down. We really didn’t get working on anything until 2:30 and I left her house at 5:30 but dang those were some […]
