Hello my dear fans! It has been too long! I apologize for disappearing but I wanted to update you on some of the exciting things going on in our neck of the woods!
Our first big excitement is obviously that we are having a little boy! Michael James is said to be due on October the 28th but I'm pretty sure he's coming mid October. Daddy thinks he's going to wait until Halloween to come out.
Isn't he cute? These were taken Monday. I HIGHLY recommend a 3d ultrasound!! We got ours for a GREAT price so if you can afford it I vote, yay!

| Just for kicks! I think the kitties have spent too much time in my lap. He is already grooming like them! |
We were so excited to see how much he had developed and grown over the last four weeks. He definitely looks like a little baby now! Such a stud!

Our second big Yay announcement is about our feature in Ocala Style Magazine in next months issue. Thea article is on local Etsy sellers. We were so beyond honored to have been contacted (literally the day we found out we were pregnant) and to have my photo taken today for the article. I can't wait to share it with you and I can't thank you all enough for helping us to get on the radar of such a talked about magazine in this area!

We've got our Christmas as well as our Autumn items back in the shop. I am sending out some more Autumn items tomorrow so I hope to have them in the shop very soon!
This brings me to my last little rant. I am so thankful to everyone who has gotten their Holiday orders in already. I have gone back and fourth, around and around, up and down.... on how I will handle closing the shop during the busiest and most influential part of the year. Michael will need me and I know how many people love having our items this time of the year but I have to come up with something! My current plan (though who knows if this will change again) is to continue accepting orders until we are scheduled up to October 15th. At which point I will close the Etsy shop until at least a couple of weeks until after little MJ arrives. This seems to be the most logical but because we rely on these fantastic orders to pay our bills I worry about closing TOO early and then not being able to pay our bills. Have you noticed I'm a bit of a worrier?
I will still be active on Facebook and will still encourage some orders from our fans. If nothing else our turn around will be super fast and we should be able to ship things in plenty of time for Christmas. So, that is my plan as of now. I am currently starting to schedule a couple of days past what I have posted above (right hand side towards the top :-) ) so I hope we can stay at a two week turn around. PLEASE, if you are considering placing an order for Halloween or Thanksgiving contact me soon about placing the order. I don't want to rush anyone but I dont want to send out those yucky "I would love to make this for you BUT we unfortunately are already booked." Those break my heart!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rant's over! I hope this helps catch you all up to speed a bit! I am doing very well with this pregnancy, minus some minor blood pressure blips and the weight gain, but both Michael and I are coming along very well. Thank you everyone who asks and continues to wish us the best of luck!
