Beautiful Floral Handbag
Christmas came early to my neck of the woods this year! I was the lucky winner of this beautiful Floral Handbag from Eyelah on Etsy!
This bag has my name all over it with all the beautiful colors! And some rhinestones too!
I love it's size. It's easy to carry along and perfect for when I don't want to haul my entire purse everywhere I go.
Thank you Eyelah for this generous gift!

Secret Santa Reveal
My wonderful teammates at the Blogging Business Artisans hosted a Secret Santa Exchange this year and I couldn't be happier with my gift!!!
I was paired with Cynthia of Antuquity Travelers and I received the most beautiful pair of earrings! Cynthia knows I love the color purple, so she created these with amethyst onion cut stones and silver findings. Just look how pretty they are!
I've already worn them several times as I wear purple quite a bit. I love the dainty size as I can wear them day or night and with any outfit!
Thank you so much Cynthia!
I was also paired with Judy of JNOriginals as my gift recipient. I know that Judy loves journals and that she also owns a Bind-It-All, so I knew the perfect gift to make for her! I made her a personalized journal with wooden covers. And since she has the binding machine, she can add pages and refill the book when needed so it can be used for a long time to come!
Judy also mentioned that she likes hazelnut and chocolate, so I sent her a couple goodies along with her journal :)

Catching Up
I'm back from my blogging break and ready for 2013! But where do I start? So much has happened since I took my break that it's been hard to catch back up.
I guess I'll just start from the beginning...it's the most fun anyway :) One of the main reasons I had to shut down my shop early and decided to take my bloggy break to begin with is because Jesse and I went to Mexico!!! His cousin got married and we were invited to go along! There were 14 of us total in the group and we had an amazing time. We stayed at Moon Palace in Cancun and I would recommend this resort to anyone traveling to Mexico. All inclusive and well worth the expense!
It was rather windy the day of the wedding, but it was beautiful nonetheless! Here is a picture of the happy couple and one of Jesse and I the day of the wedding as well.
Something else we did while on vacation is swim with the dolphins. This was my number one thing I wanted to do while in Mexico. And it was all I hoped it would be. Here's one picture from our swim, but I think I'll save the rest of another post :)
We got back really late on December 23rd and didn't get to bed until 2:30am on Christmas Eve! We went to my grandparent's at noon that day and then to Jesse's mom's that night. Then we went to Jesse's dad's at noon on Christmas Day. We were rather tired by the time all the festivities were through...to say the least!
And to top things off....my nice camera got ruined while we were in Mexico due to the extremely high humidity the first day we were there. Luckily I had my waterproof camera as well and still got some pictures. Then when we got home, the media card in my desktop computer went out, so I had to get it repaired and try to run everything off my laptop in the mean time! Ai yi yi!
The best part of my time off was that I got to spend lots of time with my parents! They were here over the holidays and just left on New Years Day. I did put my mom to work a few days :) But mostly we just watched movies, went out to eat or played cards...time together.
It was nice to have such a long break, but I'm ready to get back into my routine and get back to work! I have so many new ideas for the new year and I'm excited to get started!
Wishing everyone the best in 2013!!!
