What is the “something REALLY BIG ” that we are working on?

Hey everyone!

Since we’ve been getting a lot of emails regarding the “something REALLY BIG”, that we talked about in the last post, we decided to do a little guessing game about it! I’ll post a clue every other day and give sneak peaks of it up until the announcement!! This should be fun!! And, I think the first person to guess correctly should win a PRIZE!!!!!

Thanks again for the emails and comments! You guys rock! The first clue will go up tonight 🙂

Shop temporarily closed

Hey everyone! I just wanted to write a quick note and let you know that I will be temporary closing the shop from May 19th through the 26th. During this time I will still be relisting and available to answer convos and emails, but anything ordered after May 18th will not ship until Tuesday morning, May 27th (since the post office is closed on the 26th).

I am so sorry for any inconvenience this may cause! We are in the process of something REALLY BIG and we need a little extra time to fully dedicate all of our energy towards it!! I promise, it will be worth it : )

New tags in the shop!


Two new designs went up in the shop this morning! I figured I better get the red, white and blue tags up before the 4th of July has come and gone! LOL! Time is just going so fast lately!!

More designs are on there way, but it might not be for a couple of weeks… Not sure yet, it just depends on when the printer can get me some proofs to approve 🙂

Have a great weekend everyone! It’s going to be hot and sunny here today – yea!!! Summer is almost here and I can’t wait!!

doggy update!

Hey everyone!

First, I have to give a HUGE THANK YOU for all the emails and comments over the last week! You guys are seriously the sweetest people, I have truly appreciated every one of them!!

I have an update on her……….. She is doing very well! We had a check up at the vet’s office yesterday, and they are really impressed with the progress – so that is a very good thing! We were a little (okay.. A LOT) worried that she wouldn’t want to use the leg after surgery, and they warned that it happens quite often, but luckily this little girl is very strong and determined!

I had a lot of things in store for this month, along with some surprises 🙂 but, this experience kind of pushed things back a tiny bit. So… you’ll have to wait a little longer, but I promise the wait will be worth it!! I’m so excited for the things to come and feel so blessed!

my baby

My poor little baby has to have surgery 🙁 She has a torn muscle in her left leg that cannot heal on its own… so she has to go in tomorrow and will come home on Wednesday. I feel so bad for her – it looks sooooo painful when she walks and sometimes she’s only walking on three legs 🙁 Poor baby girl!!!!!!

I might not be around too much on Wednesday (when she gets home) and Thursday, depending on how she is feeling. I guess I’ll have to wait and see how this week goes…
