Perfectly Precious

My other shop on etsy: www.perfectlyprecious.etsy.com is having a clearance sale!
Everything must go!
So much time is in a day to do everything that I would like to do. Between taking care of my two
little ones, cleaning the house (LOL), Ao Designs and all the other little things; I just don't have the time to focus on my other shop.
So I am doing a huge clearing out of my studio. All of my projects will be listed
for sale.
Please, take a look. Great gifts for the holidays, baby showers or
for that special baby in your life at very low prices.

Vacation.................................................Yes!

We will be leaving in the morning for a short trip to the beach. At this time of year I start craving the salty sea air and the crystal clear waters of the Florida coast. This will be the first time on the beach for our newest addition to the family, my 7 month old Samantha.

I will share pictures of the trip when we return.

Have a Great Weekend!!!

My Fur Babies




What family would be complete without furry friends. We have two very loving and completely dependent fur babies. the oldest, Diva, is true to her name. She is 8 years old now and she rules the house. Diva, became part of my life when I was single and living by myself. She is my first baby and she will always be special to me.



After Brenden was alittle over a year old, I started wanting another child. I asked my husband to get me a puppy so it could take the place of my baby yearnings. It was way too soon to get pregnant again so we got Abbie! Abbie, is a little special. She is alot like Odie from the Garfield cartoons. But, we love her.

And she never took the place of a baby. A year later, we were pregnant again!

Learning To Add Pictures

I have never really had problems when it came to computers, but learning to add things to this blog has been a learning experience. This hasn't been my first attempt either to blog, but I hope I have more patience this time.

I am trying to learn how to add pictures today. So if this works, you will be able to meet my family. My husbands name is Matt, he has been a true blessing in my life. My rock! My oldest child, Brenden, will be three in July and my baby girl, Samantha, is six months old.

First Post

I have been trying for sometime now to setup a blog, but with my very busy schedule it has been putting things on hold. Right now my house is a little quite, so I decided to start the setup process. I hope with some guidance and a little help that I can have a great blog.

Right now I better get back to finding items for this weekends garage sale. I am trying to make room in my home and eliminate some of the clutter.
