Been a LONG TIME

Hey gang! Ok, so I started this blog and then proceeded to pretty much abandon it. Sorry, I GOT BUSY! What has been going on since the last post, HMMMM, let's think. Well the last post was back in July (WHAT SERIOUSLY!) Geez, well we survived the holiday season. Found out that craft shows are NOT for us anymore. Became totally automated in our motif production (WHOO HOO!!!!) We still hand set some of our motifs, but not much. Got in a 24 in vinyl cutter. Ok, let me just tell you, I freaking LOVE that thing. It is so much fun. What else . . . I have been working, working and working some more. Did take some time off between Christmas and New Year (I read 5 novels in those 6 days). My husband and I started really watching what we eat and we exercise regularly. I have lost 25 pounds and E has lost probably at least 30 (and he FINALLY QUIT SMOKING!). I am a yoga devotee! What else. Got a new tattoo, my daughter's name. Speaking of, my baby turned 5. (How the hell did that happen?) I have become a blog addict. I love reading other people's blogs. Especially, woman small business owned, food related, saving money related or craft related. So that would be about it, in a nutshell (yes, I am a nut and my name is Shell LOL!)

So, for those who have not visited the website in a while, I have updated the vinyl page (did I tell you how much I LOVE THAT STUFF!) here is the direct link http://www.sparklesbyshell.com/Vinylc.html It is so much fun. It is (usually) a less expensive way to sparkle. Comes in a TON of colors and I can make a matching design in the matte vinyl (which looks like screen print, but MUCH more durable, it will out last the shirt!) for the guys!

We have also been doing a lot of car stickers and wall stickers. When I get time (yeah right) I am going to make a sticker for the wall in my shop that says :
There is no path to happiness. Happiness is the path. I LOVE THAT and it is so true.

Ok, enough of me babbling. If there is anyone out there that is still following this blog, please post a comment (be nice!). I will be posting the link to Facebook and Twitter too so if you have landed here from there, please drop me a comment and let me know that!

KEEP ON SPARKLING!
