Went over to see grandparent's new puppy today! She is called Megan and is a collie/retriever cross. How adorable is she!? I took loads of pics, none of them particularly brilliant, as dogs don't like to sit still for long!

| Snow |

Woke up the other day and it had snowed! Looked out of my window to these trees, which looked almost like they were full of (white) leaves, as in winter the branches are normally bare. You can normally see the railway station through them, but it had snowed so much they were like a wall.

Had a nice day today! Got woke up by Mum at 6.30, which makes a change as it's normally Charlotte waking everyone else up. Surprised Charlotte with a stocking, which I was in on, but then was totally surprised with my own stocking! Got some lovely things, including more Harajuku lover perfume, momiji dolls, books<3, cute gifts from Next, sweets and more. Will post pics tomorrow as it is too late today.
I think we finished unwrapping stockings at about 7.30, I started getting ready to go to Granny and Grandad's at about 8. Started hair at 8.30, finished 2 hours later. Lol- my hair is so thick! Hair pictured above- proper curls! And you can see my new glasses!

| New Rocks for Sale! |
[Nov. 1st, 2009|03:55 pm] |
In case anyone is after a pair of New Rocks, I am selling a pair on Ebay that are virtually new!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330373358274
They are a size 7, although I am a 6 and the feet fit just fine, there is extra toe room but they are not loose. I bought these a couple of years ago, but I have changed styles significantly since then, and have only worn them about 5 times, if that. They don't fit me around the calf anymore due to weight gain, so I can't wear them anyway! All other details are in listing. UK only buyers. |

| Business Cards! |
[Jul. 20th, 2009|02:04 pm] |
My business cards arrived! And yay, they are so shiny! (both figuratively and literally!) I was really worried about how the foil effect would come out, but It's exactly as I hoped! A lovely silver effect over Dolly Mixx. The pics don't show them well, they look much better in real life. Can't wait to start sending them with packages! Also given Mum and Phil a few, they apparently often meet people who they tell about it, which is kinda embarrassing, but business=good!

My last Blurb book arrived! It's also pretty snazzy! I made the cover match my lj layout theme(the yellow is actually the stripes of my background), with pics on the front that I have posted in it.
It's nice and chunky too! I was about to say I wish it had page numbers, and I just checked and it does! It ends on page 350.

| Clothes! |
[Jul. 2nd, 2009|12:09 pm] |
Snazzy new clothes I just ordered from Joe Browns! Apparently I am liking blue atm! I love the turquoise bolero, I loved the one they came out with first, but the colours were too dull. They had the turquoise and a lime green one on the normal Joe Browns website, and I was like, why can't they sell those colours at Simply Be!? And now they have the turquoise, as well as other different colours! Also loving the maxi dress, it is so gorgeous! Been looking out all year for a nice plus size maxi dress, haven't succeeded until today! And a pretty blue jumper and top just because:)
Charlotte een ordered some nice things too!
Now I just have to wait ages until it all arrives! |
|
|
| Yay! |

My Blurb book arrived! Well one of two, the journal one was only posted today. Anyway, it's lovely! :D
Pictures:
The cover! I left it blank because I couldn't think of a title, and anyway, I preferred it without writing.

Tallie has gone in for her op today :(
I miss her already. She will be back tonight, complete with stitches and a cone for a head. Heh. I hope nothing goes wrong.
Edit:
Not having it today, the vet checked her over- she is having a phantom pregnancy, poor thing, so she gave her some medication to stop it, and then she can go back in a few weeks time. |

Eeeh! Just sold a prom dress I bought on sale years ago from Evans, for £5 more than I even bought it for!
I dunno why I bought the damn thing, I have never had an occasion to wear a prom dress, and as I bought it online I couln't try it on and the fit was awful anyway! So yay for ebay! And money! |

Feeling slightly better today. Just about to order laptop, woo! Also had a letter from the vets saying that Tallie's spaying now will only cost about £70, instead of the £200 it was before! Which is yay, seeing as I am paying. :P It's a special offer, obvs the company isn't doing too well with the recession, but it's all good for me:)
Also saving £235 on the laptop, another special offer. :) At last I will have my own computer! >.< Do I need a wireless router if it has wifi built in? I am so clueless when it comes to these things.
Also was gonna update my website today, but freewebs has decided to take the site down for maintenence, so shall hopefully do it tomorrow, if in the mood. I need to renew my premium service soon.
I think I have arthritis too? My elbow is really stiff and sore, and I can barely open the joint up, and not without pain. It's done it before, and it is just the one elbow, and it isn't all the time. It's weird. And it hurts! :( |

Woo! This month has been brilliant shop wise, at the start I thought I wasn't going to make my target sales, but woo, I surpassed! Added on with the esty sales and wholesale orders, it has been quite nice! I'm keeping my target for next month realistic, I'm not sure if I can maintain this, hopefully so! I need to restock quite a few items, so that should keep me busy. I've also decided not to do custom orders anymore, at least for a while, I just don't have the time or inclination.
Also got featured on quite a few sites this month, think it may have something to do with my growing sales. My items were featured on Super Cute Kawaii, All Things Cupcake, Sweet Figments, and They Call It Style. |
