I really do work sometimes.....

I realized my last post was about our beach vacation and now I'm posting about our couple of days at the lake. Really, I do get some work done but I also like to share my "free" time with you, too!

Short and sweet......
My in-laws live on the lake so when we go up, Sydney hangs out with them and really doesn't care if I'm around or not. Don't worry, this doesn't hurt my feelings. Honestly, it's great for them and lets me spend in my absolutely favorite spot in their whole place....the porch swing. I take my sudoku and crossword puzzles, swing, enjoy this view and occassionally doze off. No matter how hot it is outside, that porch has the best breeze coming through.
Sydney loves riding the jetski so she can usually con somebody to take her out. Her daddy started doing 360s with her on it and she looooooved it. I think we have speeding tickets in our future.
When her cousin, Scott, took her out he took it one step further and she looooooved that even more. Was I a little nervous? Yes, but she loves it and has a blast.
She loves her cousins and they love her. I hope they'll be close despite their age differences. Those boys are the best.
So just to prove to you that I have been working.....I've added some fabulous new lunchbox designs and will be adding quite a few more. I've also got a great new product that I think you'll love...coming soon!

I'm back...

I'm back from vacation and still trying to get my groove back. I think we all have that special talent of jumping right into "vacation" mode, but how many of us have the talent of quickly jumping into "work" mode when we get back home? I don't have that gift. Unfortunately.
We had such a great time at Discovery Cove and swimming with the dolphins. I highly recommend it and simply don't have the words to describe how amazing it is to actually touch them. Just so fun!
The rest of my vacation days were spent by the pool, in the ocean, napping on the sofa and eating way too much. MyT had fun, too, until her daddy came home. She was so sad so I gave in and changed our tickets to come home a couple of days early. I wasn't ready to come home, but what do you do?
So, yes, back in "work" mode. I'll be finishing up some fab new lunchbox and water bottle designs and just in time for the back to school season. I'll post the goods when I get them done!

That long?

Has it been that long since my last post? That's not very nice of me....
It's been busy, busy around here getting orders turned around and dreaming of vacation next week. We are so excited because the first part of the trip will be a day at Discovery Cove and swimming with the dolphins. How cool is that? MyT's face lights up when we even mention it.
MyT's last day of kindergarten is tomorrow..unbelievable. No more on that or I'll start crying. Our partnership with Beau coup has been fantastic so far which is a complete thrill. I've also been busy creating a new group of lunchbox designs for the back-to-school season which will be ready by the end of June!
OK, back to work! More to come soon...plenty to jab about.

You know when you've found something that has to be shared? I found that something!

Mean Cards, the gal behind them and her humor are right up my alley. She's fabulous and please don't skip her blog. That's where you can see her hysterically funny mind at work.
I'm not being paid to write this post....in fact, she doesn't even know about it.
Despite my colorful designs, the people closest to me know that I can be a bit sarcastic, frank and seem to have a "different" and sometimes dark sense of humor. I always show my brother this kind of stuff because he gets it, too.
I will be offending many friends and family in the future with these cards. It's OK, you won't offend me if you give me one. In fact, I'll be thrilled because I think Mean Cards are well, yes, mean, but also perfect and appropriate for a great laugh.

Made my mom cry a little......

I designed one for my mom and one for me. I know Mother's Day isn't until next week but I always show my mom my latest stuff and well....I knew she would love it. I've designed one for a baby gift and a wedding gift. I think these are perfect, sentimental and unbelievably personal.

Apparently, my designs have been "borrowed" recently so beware and make sure you get the original VPZ's!
Yes, I will have them on the website soon. They are too much fun to design which, of course, is my favorite thing to do. Meanwhile, if you want one designed for yourself or a gift, just email me for details. I would love to do it!

P.S.-Yes, that is my handsome husband and me in the picture....eight years ago this May 12th.
