Last night i had a dream about dozens of little babies flying in heaven with butterfly wings the wings were all differnt colors and the babys different sizes and shapes and it was so beautiful...i woke up smiling...(which is usually not the case lately...normally i either wake screaming or crying)
So i got online a little bit ago and typed in baby butterfly and rememberance in to the search engine and found this beautiful necklace...they are handcrafted so they are all unique and different....its a pendent of a baby with butterfly wings and it lays on your chest so that the baby charm and you are "heart to heart". I just love this...when i found it it made me think so much of my dream that i almost cried...here is the link...

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
want to thank everyone who has connected with my artwork. This means so very much to me, and the next part is difficult for me to share. I am climbing out of a very large back order, and also experiencing a degree of burn-out. It is so important to me that I am creating these should-be-heartfelt pieces prayerfully and not mechanically, and lately that has been difficult for me due to keeping up with a regular full time job and the ever-present needs of my family and young daughters. I am realizing that my priorities have been realigned in a way I would have never listed them on paper, and while I am thankful for good business I also need to make sure that my true focus does not get lost along the way.
It is also important to me that I can continue to introduce new designs. I have been doing made-to-order and custom work for so long that many of my ideas have been dormant. I am hoping that during my down time I will be able to conceptualize and list some of these new designs so that you can see fresh items in the shop.
*****Regarding custom orders, I will no longer to be able to take these pieces on unfortunately. For the time being, Etsy has changed the custom order tools available on the site and it makes it much more time consuming and complicated for me to track and prioritize customs. Once they introduce a new tool for custom pieces I will consider taking these on again depending on my volume. They have not yet provided an estimated timeline on this so I am unable to provide one either. Thank you for understanding and I also thank you for not sending me requests for custom pieces as it makes me cringe when I have to personally turn people away and I truly do not have the capacity to take these on right now.
Lastly, I want to thank everyone who has made this such a rewarding journey. I am uncertain whether this climb to restoration for me will take weeks or months as I try to reclaim my life, but what I am certain of is that I will be back up and running and doing this again at some point in the future. And I am very much looking forward to that with you.
