Where have you been?

Ok I know, I know! Where have I been? Why haven't I posted? Did I fall off the face of the earth? Was I eaten alive by rabid monkeys that escaped the zoo? Did I get captured on a vacation to Mexico? LOL

Truth be told, it could have been any of those! So, I've been "outta the blog loop", so to speak. I have had SO much going on since the last time I posted. Hmmmm...lemme see...

I got Aunt Mannys new candle line off the ground! The candle line is called "Indulge" and the slogan, "Sinfully Delicious Aromas". It's been going wonderfully! Check them out when you get a chance...



Let's see, what else? Oh, I've been working on a bunch of new items for ebay along with some patterns. Here is my newest pattern. Im so proud of this one!!! You can check out all of my other ebay items here...

I've also been to see my fourth neurologist. For those that don't know and a long story short, I have had some medical issues since April 29th of 2007. I've gone undiagnosed thus far. I did develop Fibromyalgia along the way. It's a nasty thing to have and for the most part, dreadful.

This fourth neurologist sent me to get new MRI's done to rule out MS. Multiple Sclerosis was something that was suggested by a couple of doctor's at different times but nothing was really looked into except my first set of MRI's. However, my first set of MRI's were open. Apparently, come to find out, open MRI's are almost useless when trying to diagnose MS because they rarely will show lesions. Hence the reasoning for my new set of closed MRI's that were ordered. I go back to the neuro to get results tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed!

What else? Hmmmm....oh...we closed on our house...FINALLY! We've only lived here since November of 2007! LOL But, it was expected. We moved unexpectedly and in a hurry to help my brother out when he found another house he really wanted. It was the craziest and quickest move we've ever made!

I also switched jobs. Well, kinda. I went from doing government accounting to working from home full time, again. Lemme tell ya, I've gotten so much done!!!

Ummmm....ok, I think that is it for the highlights of what I've been up to. If I think of more, I'll post them for ya. And I promise I will try to update more often! Until then...

A Quick Hello

Ok, so I know that everyone has a blog nowadays and I seriously have been trying to work on a personal one for awhile, but certain events just have not allowed me to do so. Don't get me wrong, they have been good events!

Events such as the opening of my newest site, The Prim Shop. This site was in the making of my mind for almost two years before I ever brought it to life! I faced a lot of obstacles and learned a lot of lessons the hard way along the way, but it certainly has been well worth it.

My goal was to bring the crafting community together, in one place, for selling, shopping and more. I have so much more work to do on the site and oh so much more to learn along the way, im sure. Along with our crafting message board, we just opened up The Prim Shop Craft Mall and it's been great so far!

Last but not least, I have gotten more time lately, to FINALLY revamp my Aunt Mannys site. Funny how a graphic & web designer doesn't have their site up to par but do everyone else's! Ah well, im finally satisfied with it. I didn't change the graphics but I did get some font changes since I realized that not everyone would have my favorite font on their computer. So then my site font would look just blah for them. Now it's changed to a font that everyone has and im happy with it.

I want to thank everyone in the primitive crafting community that has supported me thus far. It's been a challenge to get where I am today but i've loved every bit of it along the way! I will be adding links to all of my mentors, friends and supporters as time allows!

When I get the chance to post again, I'll bore you with how I came to be where I am today! Business-wise that is.
