Summer is here.
School is out.
Orders are keeping me busy.
And so is the hustle and bustle of normal life.
Today I'm attending yet another funeral (this time for a long-time family friend of my grandfather's)...
Finally mailing out all of the prizes for the Father's Day giveaway...
Helping a neighbor finalize a program and slideshow for the one-year memorial service of her husband's tragic death...
Gathering the final details of the 4th of July ideas I've been working on...
Photographing the European magazine I was recently published in so I can share/post it here... *pinch me*
Crossing off "promise ME" goals (and wishing I had time to update them here on the blog). *wink*
Preparing some super-fun party posts that have been sent in by some fabulous customers/fans...
and so much more...
I'm excited about summer...
I love summer.
I love being outside.
And I love the extra time I have to spend with my older girls with them now being out of school.
Here's something else I'm extremely excited about and haven't been able to REALLY make mention of like I want to...
There's been a tremendous response to The Pastry Pedestal™!
I can't thank you enough for:
• spreading the word
• placing your orders
• sharing your creative photos with me as to how you are using them....
and most importantly...
for being genuinely excited and enthusiastic about something I've invented!
It's a feeling I can't describe and it truly means the world to me!
I've been having fun getting creative with them too using the new Bridal Collection from David Tutera...
That's all I have time to squeeze in today...
Have a terrific Tuesday everyone!!
Here's to keeping our "to-do" lists in perspective...
and focusing on what really matters!
KEEPiNG iT REAL
Blogging is absolutely one of my very favorite things to do.
For me, I want each post to be heartfelt and certainly inspirational.
As of late, I've really been feeling a sense of loss, so-to-speak,
since life (and so many things out of my control)...
have seemed to be trying to take over every second of my day;
which has filtered over into my designated time for blogging.
Ella has been crawling out of her crib for a couple of months now...
waking up at 6 a.m.
The two naps a day is long gone...
and I'm lucky if she actually takes the one nap I insist she still needs.
There's definitely been a shift in the nice little schedule I had going for awhile.
Struggling to come up with something different that still feels productive.
Hmmm??? *wink*

So sorry for all of your loss. The husband of one of my best friends died 4 years ago in a plane crash. He was 35. He was a transplant surgeon on a a transplant flight when it crashed into lake michigan. i understand how awful and devastating and consuming it can be. I am praying for you right now. On a more pleasant note, i crossed one off of my promise me goals too! such a feeling of accomplishment. Thanks for that idea.
: ) your post reminded me of how much i have missed summer.
