Now for a little This + That.

This is the day of Blake's MRI. This morning. Under general anesthesia. If you are the praying type...we'd so appreciate a prayer on his behalf today. His spine and brain will be examined and we are keeping our fingers crossed that there is no signs of a tethered cord. He does not want to fall asleep there but the doctors assured me we will stay with him until he is asleep so we are the last people he sees and the first people he sees when he wakes. Phew. I was nervous about that. Dave and I picked up a few fun things for him to do while we drive an hour and wait an hour before the MRI begins....all while he can't EAT. We got him a few activity books, a simple puzzle and some fun pencils! I hope they help.

The shop is running a bit low on cute items...namely Keep Calm + Carry On Necklaces. Or any necklace for that matter. I'm in the process of changing a few things. Not much that you will notice, but things that will make my life a bit easier. I'm also getting ready again for another Queen Bee Market on August 6th in San Diego. Woot! Woot!
But that means I have to keep stock on hand to sell there. And, we will be leaving two weeks earlier for vacation, so I really need to be extra prepared so I can enjoy our vacation. Thanks for understanding. I will reveal the new pics of the Keep Calm Necklaces before I leave...but they won't be available until after Queen Bee Market. Ooppss....you just might have to plan a little trip to the market! If are attending BlogHer11...we will be right next door. Come shop and say 'hello'!!

*  *  *  *  *

I've got some fun things in the works. Namely a little something called Cupcakes and Crafts Night and Cupcakes and Crafts Getaway. I've been planning them for some time now and I'm getting close to making some fun announcements!


*  *  *  *  *

Our family is embarking on a new little journey. I can't wait to share all the details. Soon! It is something that has been on my heart for awhile now and the whole family is on board. And, excited!

*  *  *  *  *

I think I'll leave on that high note.
Come back tomorrow to see if you are the winner of the Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Kitchen Set.
That giveaway closes tonight and the winner will be announced tomorrow morning!
I'll also update how Blake did this morning with his MRI.
Thanks so much in advance for the prayers. You guys are the best.

    So hard with the colors, they are gorgeous...but it is a toss up between pink and buttercream.

    ReplyDelete
  65. I heart the color red!! But, the ivory would go with everything.

    ReplyDelete
  66. The turquoise/blue one is my absolute fav! But it took me a while to reach that decision.

    ReplyDelete
  67. I'm so torn between the green and the turquoise...both are so cute and either one would make me totally happy!

    I hope all went well with Blake's MRI today. It is a bit of a scary experience for a little one. Jake had his first one 2 years ago and still talks about how much he hated waking up from the anesthesia.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Oh, I hope the MRI went well. I did just pray, but probably a little too late, but too much prayer is a good thing, right?!?!
    I love the red one, the green one, the aqua one...kind of like chips, you can't have just one!!
