Just A Short Note...

The internet age is CRAZY!!

Just a short note to explain my absence!
My broadband internet connection has been FLOODED by all of the RAIN here! As a result I am operating with all of the speed of dial-up, YIKES! I can't even TWEET! ARRG!
The phone company will be here January 5th between 8am and 5 pm (geeze guys thanks for narrowing it down) to repair the problem.
I have so much to share, but don't have the HOURS it would take to upload it all here, so be prepared come the 5th of January I'll be posting like a MAD WOMAN!!
Britt and Katie made Christmas COOKIES yesterday, YUMMY!! And we got all of the finishing touches of the decorating done! We are FINALLY ready for CHRISTMAS! YAY!!

Hope you all have a WONDERFUL and BEAUTIFUL holiday season! CANNOT WAIT to catch up, once my connection is repaired!

Until then, I can get Facebook up once in awhile, so hopefully I will be posting from there!! But NOT to worry, the By Your Side Etsy Shop is still OPEN and you can “FAN” the By Your Side Facebook Fan Page, and come visit me there! 

“Just Another Manic Monday…”

I am back on track here as promised!

I would like to say I am a SUPERWOMAN, but my forays into the world of SUPERHERO’S usually end up more like Lucy’s!! But HEY, I get the job done, EVENTUALLY and provide ENTERTAINMENT along the way! Last week was CRAZY and INSANE, but I got 25 Itty Bitty Brittney Travel Bags DONE! They are AVAILABLE in the By Your Side Etsy Shop, so GO and take a LOOK!

I have become “ONE” with my local Post Office! I have had SO many orders to ship, it’s been CRAZY!  The Postal workers at Fairview are SO COOL and NICE, I ABSOLUTELY dread going anywhere else! The BEST part is that not too may people know about it, so there are usually NO lines! YAY!

These SUPER CUTE Itty Bitty Brittney Travel Bags are on their way to my BEAUTIFUL sister-in-law, Jeanna in Hermiston, Oregon… The BEAUTIFUL Jeanna and my LOVELY baby niece Brooke.

 THANK YOU Jeanna!!

This SWEET Itty Bitty Brittney Travel Bag is on her way to Robyn in Little Current, Ontario! Robyn WON the GIVEAWAY on the Snug n Luv blog! THANK YOU Stacey for hosting a GREAT giveaway, and Robyn, ENJOY your bag!

These two FUN Itty Bitty Brittney Travel Bags are on their way to Theresa in El Mirage, Arizona…

They are going to be SOCK KNITTING BAGS!! Theresa is one of my AWESOME Twitter buddies, and has an INCREDIBLE Etsy shop at Unravel Me Designs! I can hardly WAIT until after CHRISTMAS to show you what I got and tell you MORE about Theresa and her LOVELY shop! THANK YOU so much Theresa!

This LOVELY Michele Handbag is on her way to my new Twitter FRIEND, Sue in Torrance, California… THANK YOU Sue!!

And this LOVELY Michele Handbag is on her way to my SUPER AWESOME mother-in-law in Sparks, Nevada…THANK YOU Mom, I hope Dianna likes her purse!

So, now that I have FINALLY got the sewing done, TODAY is the day to get CHRISTMAS-IZED, around here! John did the lights outside yesterday in the FREEZING cold, so now it’s MY turn to pull out ALL of the DECORATIONS and get into the CHRISTMAS SPIRIT!! I REMEMBER when the girls LOVED to HELP, now they just COMPLAIN that the decoration are not up yet. OH WELL, I’ll just put some ELVIS CHRISTMAS TUNES on and go get BUSY! 

Hope you all a SUPER GREAT Monday!!

****REMEMBER to GO and CHECKOUT all of the NEW Itty Bitty Brittney Travel Bags in the By Your Side Etsy Shop****

Where Have I Been??

Locked away in my sewing room…

My incredibly MESSY and CONFUSING sewing room! REALLY there is a system in use here that makes PERFECT sense in my mind! What that says about me, I am not sure, BUT I can tell you my MOM is going to want to DIE when she sees these pictures!!

TWENTY-FIVE Itty Bitty Brittney Travel Bags, all ready to be photographed for Etsy! So, that’s what I have been up to for the past week! SORRY to have neglected you all, but the CHRISTMAS RUSH is ON!!

Some of these are orders, BUT the one’s that aren’t WILL BE AVAILABLE in the By Your Side Etsy Shop starting SUNDAY!! All of the AVAILABLE Itty Bitty Brittney’s will be up by MONDAY the 14th of DECEMBER!

You can peruse the photo’s below until then…

SO, there you HAVE IT! I PROMISE to be a much BETTER blogger, there is so MUCH to tell you ALL!! BUT I MUST go photograph the Itty Bitty Brittney’s for Etsy!

I will “see” you all on Monday!! Hope you have a GREAT weekend!
