I am SOOOOOO excited !!!

Ok, I said I gained weight, and I was upset. That night, I gave myself a kick in the butt, and I have been strictly following my plan since then, because I had no flexpoints left.

Well, Easter went smoother than any other day of the week. I ate a lot of rabbit food (veggies LOL) and Jell-O, but it went fine and had the roast I was waiting all week for, the oil-coated potatoes (makes them become golden and crispy yum !) and even the gravy ! I ended up having strawberries dipped in chocolate for dessert. I had only 20 points, and only used 20 points.

Anyway, here's my weight-in video =D Because I am pleased to announce that... No, wait, just watch it !



So yeah, today was a very good day. I got all my jewelry stuff out again, and started building up inventory for May 2nd, for our cocktail party. So far, I have a complete set of wineglass markers done, half an anklet, and earrings waiting to be assembled to their hooks.

I also listed new items on Artfire.com, and put a new listing up on Etsy. I haven't done that in a while, but now that I have time, it's easier for me to take time and upload photos photos and add descriptions.

Oh, and I took a big decision regarding enidjewelry.com... I will take the website down and let go of the domain. Why ? First, because I need to put my money somewhere else, and second, I update more on my blog than on the website itself. Every new product is mentionned here, and it felt repetitive to add the same thing to the website's frontpage. So there. You want to know everything about my new jewelry lines ? Keep on reading this blog, I'll keep you all updated !

Enough rambling now, going to bed. Will take pictures outside tomorrow. It's supposed to be sunny and warm. And we're starting to see bulb leaves. Soon, we'll blink an eye and see tulips and May will be on our doorstep.

I can't wait. Spring is always full of fresh surprises. Smile, life is beautiful.

Quick Vid !

Good morning everyone !

Here's a quick video I did yesterday regarding the past two weeks, so here :


Also, we moved the cocktail night at my friend's place to May 2nd, because I was working all week-end at my day job, and I need the whole afternoon to set the table up, and prepare some snacks and drinks. I think it's going to be a success, out cocktail parties ALWAYS have been a success !!! I want to start incorporating more "presentation" type of things, I want people to interact, I got to work on that too.

Off to make some anklets, be back later with pictures, maybe =)

Ooooh I think you're going to like this one...

I'll start with the usual rambling, then go on with an exciting announcement !!!

So, lately, I've been doing great. I've not been able to say that for a while, but I'm getting used to less food, and I find more tricks. Yay !! So that's about the weight loss part.

Now, my breast cancer walk team and I are organizing a cocktail night at one of my friends' place, on April 25th. It's going to be my first cocktail party in 2009, and I'm really excited ! I'm working on a new line of anklets, that will be introduce on that very day. I'm currently supply-shopping, to see if I can find exactly what I want. I may let you take a peek before the actual day, but they won't be up for sale until April 25th.

Another activity we're organising is a garage sale on May 30th and 31rst, postponed to the next week-end if raining. We're trying to get as much stuff as we can from everyone around us to make a couple hundred dollars out of this event, along with the chocolates we're selling right now as a lower-scale fund-raising activity.

I'm also preparing a bowling night. It will take place on August 21rst, more details to come.

Sooooooooooooooooo Here's what you all have been waiting for since the beginning ;
