Nice day to be Inside!

Today is a nice day to be inside working by the fire!  It's freezing outside with snow flurries since this morning.  I've been reading all these posts about snow and such up north.  I'm not sure I could survive anywhere North of here...but....I would love a chance to live SOUTH of here on a beach somewhere. 

Got a chance to get online and surf a little last night...or early this morning...and found lots of great resources for moms like us.  If anyone has one that they believe to be the best please let me know.  I'm looking to advertise and offer a free gift to one of these websites or blogs but they all seem to have a large following and I'm kindof lost as to which one to choose.

Also, if you own a small business and aren't on Facebook and twitter...I suggest you try it.  I have gotten more half of my hits from Facebook.  It's just a good way to network and I just got on, so I'm sure there are so many other things to explore in that realm.

The Usry's are just having a peaceful weekend at home trying to stay warm!  Hope you're all doing the same.

Kid's eat free at Fernando's tonight!!!  We went last night to hear the music....I just love Hosea at Fernandos, it makes it great to be waited on.  Ask for him...he's the best!

Fired Up!

Kiln's firing and Silver Necklaces are done! I should sleep well tonight. Check out my website for pics although when I get done I'll try and post some pics on my blog. These thumbs are gorgeous!! I used REAL freshwater pearls for the June birthstone, plus the light amythest! I absolutely love them, the necklaces and even the funky initials...the monogramming type initials are really a hit. KUB for Kimberly Breah Usry...Looks original and I love it too...thanks to Heather Crane for the suggestion! No extra cost, but you do have to ask for it. Ya'll have a good night.

Done Painting for Tonight!

Update: Kim Burkett's Home Party and Selena Hill's items should be ready for drop off by Tuesday. I will call/email as soon as I am finished with them. Will post pics to my blog and website as soon as possible....If you are giving your items as gifts and don't want the pictures posted just let me know and I won't post for another few months or so.

Also, I wanted to send a thank you out to all who have sent me referrals! I have totally been relying on referrals and love getting them. They are the BEST COMPLIMENT I can receive and hope everyone will take advantage of the $5 friend credit. I do keep a record of these and try to let you know...but that's kindof the last thing on my long list of to-dos. So if you are planning to order something just ask if you have any credits and I'll try to get you an answer within 24hrs :)

Some customers with at least 1 or more friend credits just off the top of my head:
Demetria Raper (3)
Lindsay Smith (1)
Kelly Vandavere (1+?)
Kim Burkett(1)
....I only remember these because they are recent....

I really am working on a way to alert people when they receive a credit, but some people don't have internet access and it has to be one way the same for all or some may get left out...any ideas?

Had a GOOD constructive day thanks to my hubby and looking forward to relaxing tomorrow! Good Night :)

Advertising

Please look for my new ad coming out in Parents-Kids Magazine in February....

Also, a special thanks to Rankin Children's Group for allowing me to display my Rack Cards with their offices...I was so excited to hear from Amy...

We're looking for local boutiques and online businesses to carry my thumbprinting kits...be the first and ONLY carrier in your city...call me for availability.

We're always looking for new advertising opportunities so hurry, before I give that chance to someone else!

If you work for or visit Jackson Healthcare for Women put in a good note to Bill Brown! I'm hoping to accessorize their newly built clinic.

Well I'm off to finish my painting!

Good Night
