WORD'S OF INSPIRATION FROM ONE OF MY FAVORITE BLOG

2008-07-16T09:05:00.006-04:00

There are two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as thought everything is a miracle.

Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.

LOTS LOTS OF WORK AHEAD

2008-07-05T00:01:00.002-04:00

Hope you all had a great 4th of July!

I have alot going on right now (what else is new?)

I own a ceramic studio in Miami FL where most of my creations come to life. Last October becasue of long drives and feeling guilty with the kids and hubby I decided to sell. To try to work from home...

Note: This is where my story takes a turn for the worst..

I Sub-Leased the store with all my 4000+ ceramic molds and Kiln to a gentelmen who I thought needed help or best yet a dream.

Well he ran off without paying 2 months of rent and basically disapered from the phase of the earth. (Just to make it short and simple)

I do not understand how there are people in the world like this. That the more you extend your hand the more they take advantage of you.

This is the warehouse with part of my molds

This is a pic of what use to be a bathroom

This person was living in the upstairs of the warehouse.... with no running water...uuuccckkkkyyy
Hubby, kids and myself will be spending our holiday weekend redoing the downstairs area. After sub-leasing I had moved operation of my business to my house. But we have decided to make my store bigger better and prettier than it was 7 months ago.

I will post later pictures of what it looked like 8 months ago... But the best is yet to come. I will be uploading pics of the transformations...

STICHES, FATHERS DAY & ONE POPPED MOTHER

2008-06-16T08:26:00.005-04:00

Hi Hope you all had a great "FATHERS DAY WEEKEND".

Well I sure did obviously with its up and downs.

I have had alot of work both planning party's and on EBAY and Etsy. So between packing shipping, labeiling etc. we managed to spend out sunday with some freinds to celebrate Fathers Day.

Until my 12 year old decide to skate board in the rim of the pool @ his dads and had to be taken to the hospital to get 9 stiches in his chin (pics I will post later).
Mind you he has already had stiches in the same place. I ask myself why don't these things happen when they are with me?

The good thing is it could have been worse.

I promise to post pics later of the little chin.

This past week I have been working on a party with the "PHANTOM OF THE OPERA THEME"I love how all the decorations and favors came out.

These are the invitations that I used.

This is the Seating chart for the party...

I will be back later with more pics.

Have a great day...
