I have been totally slack this past week (or two) in responding to comments on the blog. I'd like to take a moment to apologize to you all for that. Work has been crazy hectic and I'm struggling to find balance right now with personal, professional and bead commitments I have made. I told one customer last night I should just stop making commitments this week because I am keeping so few. It makes me feel like crap. :( I don't like not following through on promises I have made and I need to better learn how to juggle all the different aspects of my life.
On the flip side, I am still convinced I have the best and most understanding and patient customers ever. So thank you for that!
Since the custom buttons that were requested a coupla weeks ago have now been chosen and reserved (because I took a coupla weeks to actually make the aforementioned buttons), I have others that are now up for grabs. I thought I should go ahead and list them since I have the pics all taken and ready to go.

All sales made before 8pm EDT tonight will get shipped out on Friday. Anything purchased after that will be sent out on Monday, October 25th after I return from St. Louis.
I am so excited to go on another roadtrip so soon. Can you tell? Normally we wait months after the drive up to Minnesota and back in June/July. So many good things (and not in any particular order) about this weekend!!!
Gooey Butter Cakes!
Seeing my Aunt Judy get married!
Jack In The Box tacos!
Seeing my Uncle Mike from Arizona!
Photographing my Aunt Judy get married!
Loading up on more Maul's barbecue sauce!
Taking my kids to the Magic House!
Driving for the better part of a day and seeing a vast amount of our countryside and farmland!
Spending time with my husband and kids for three solid days straight!
Getting a three day weekend and not worrying about work!
Are you tired of my exclamation points yet?!
:D
On another note, but equally exciting because I am so. very. thrilled. for my friend.... If you are a jewelry designer and you didn't already know, Lorelei and Erin Siegel landed their own book deal on leather, lace, cord and ribbon projects. They have started a Flickr group and opened up a contest to decide upon another contributor (or two) to their upcoming book.
I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! I am looking forward to sharing pics of MY weekend once I return.

Haha!!! LOVE the picture! I hope you're having a blast and, yes, sometimes it's just best to say no when committing to certain things. It's something you learn as you get old - like me. :)
