Belle!

I gotta' send out a couple great big thank you's to Jenny Doh and Morgan McLaughlin of Belle Armoire. This article hit the news stands May 1, and it was more than I ever imagined. And... my name on the cover made my mother (ok, and me) very happy. Between my sisters, mother, father and me a minimum of 15 - 20 copies were purchased. The only people not impressed were my daughters who completely and insultingly shrugged it off as, "Yeah, Mom. What-ever!" Well, "Hmmmpfff!" to them and thank you Jenny and Morgan very much for the kind words and attention! It is greatly appreciated.

Haute Handbags

So so much going on here. You know, that Oprah is right. What you put out there does come back to you.

As you know, I'm practicing "putting it out there". You won't believe what's happened since I started doing that... oh... last week. I highly recommend it.

I had thought it was kind of corny. But this is what I didn't know: when I Said Aloud What I Wanted my little brain had synapses firing off all over the place. It suddenly became... "I AM doing this." Hmmm. Which led me to making a bunch of phone calls and emails and talking to everyone I know ... gathering information to Make IT Happen.

Can't wait to be able to tell you what's going on... I loathe secrets. I can't keep 'em (so expect me to totally bust) and worse, I go nuts when one is kept from me. Super Husband thinks that is a wonderful game to play. "I have a secret". Drives me crazy... and why it works every time, I don't know. I'm like a four year old.

Haute1_2 On another note, look what showed up in my mailbox yesterday! Goody Gum Drops! I've been waiting for this.

This is from Stampington's, Haute Handbags which will hit newstands Monday. (Remember when I said I was sending something in??? I didn't jinx myself after all.) Thanks, Amanda! I love what you did with it!
