Look at him grow!

Cohen turns 4 months old on the day after Thanksgiving. I cannot believe how big he is! He is finally sleeping through the night and his mood has dramatically improved. I'm going to miss him SO much when I move.

Melts and Tarts

The melts and tarts are finally done! These are being offered in two scents: Pretty in Pink (a vanilla-cotton candy scent) and French Café (just like a hot cup of creamy cappuccino). Shapes include: Primitive heart, grubby heart, smooth heart, victorian heart and fleur de lis.

Ceramic Warmers...

We are finally getting ready to add our french tarts and warmers to the website! These dual warmers are great for those who do not like to burn candles. The top dish is used to burn tarts/melts and can be removed to heat a wickless candle! These will be offered in black with white polka dots, black, brown with pink and white polka dots, brown with white and baby blue polka dots, white and white with black and pink polka dots. The melts/tarts will be available in a handful of scents.

Check out the mini wallets!

Mini Wallets have finally been posted on TPPDP! The exterior fabric is shown but the interior fabric will always be a surprise! These are perfect for when you go out but don't want to carry everything with you. I usually carry my cell phone, lipgloss, cash and credit cards in mine. They are ~6'' wide and 3 1/2 to 3 3/4'' tall (under flap).

No marbles...no magnets.

On my first day off (after working a strech of 5 nights) I decided to go to Michael's to search for clear marbles, magnets and silicone glue. I found round marbles...but no flat ones. I was frustrated (lack of sleep) and decided to purchase all the items online instead of searching all the craft shops in Grand Rapids. So, I go to UHAUL to get the hitch put on my SUV. They initially said it would take no more than 3 hours....well, 4.5 hours later, I was heading back home and during that time, had received a call to come into work...so I worked again last night, basically on no sleep.

I'm off work until Monday night and I will be enjoying these next few days to myself. I'm going to work on posting the new mini-wallets on my business website and will be going to my mom's tomorrow to work on the french tarts (I just received the molds in the mail). After finishing this blog, I'm heading to the beading table to start some more bracelets..I've mastered the process and now it takes me less than 15 minutes to complete a bracelet...I'm loving it!

Busy Day...

Yay! My first day off after a grueling 5 night stretch! I just woke up and I'm heading to Grand Rapids to buy supplies to make a few new things (you'll see the finished product) and I have to buy boxes from UHAUL. I have to get a lot of my packing done this week because my sister, brother-in-law and my nephew are moving in November 17th. If I have time to work on crafts tonight, I'll post pictures of the final product!

What happened on Saturday??!!

So as I spent most of my night suctioning a patient who was on a vent (at least every 30 minutes due to aspiration pneumonia) I watched the end of the MSU vs. U of M game with his daughter and we must have looked like fools hooting and hollering before the big disappointment. Every year I get my hopes up....I hope that MSU will FINALLY beat U of M (how many times have they won in the last 10 years? The last I can recall was '01). What makes me even more irritated is that we lost by only a couple of points!!

Like my banner?

A fellow ETSY friend made this banner for me and I've been using it as a header in all my business related e-mails...I <3 it!

Mini Wallets...

Here is a sample of the mini wallets that will be offered the week of November 12th! Floral, poodle, eiffel tower, stripes, swirls and paisley prints will be available. Once again, custom orders are available. I mostly use Michael Miller and Amy Butler prints.

Magnets...

These are so cute!! I will be offering various magnets on my website. If you want a certain color or pattern, feel free to leave me a comment under this blog entry or email me at: pink07@thepinkpolkadotpoodle.com

The Big Countdown...

The little elephant's first Halloween....

Just thought I'd share a photo of my nephew, Cohen, on his first Halloween! My sister found this outfit online and it looked SO cute on him!
