leaving on a jet plane...

I am headed to Texas this weekend {yea!!} for my show next week. I am anxious to get there to hug necks, see my sister's new place, fill my parent's empty nest, catch up on dinners with family, celebrate my brother's birthday, meet a friend's new little babe, and ...I know...I am cramming a lot into a small amount of time! But this is a business trip and on my mind first and foremost is my first show. Oh...did I leave that part of out of this post? Yep...this is T&T's first show...and I am a nervous wreck! I'm not sure if its the flying or the show...I'll let you know when I land. I know it will be an exhausting blast...but I am prepared {...wait until you see my shoes!}

I have been buzzing around here checking things off of my to-do list. I really took on a challenge doing my first show out of town {I won't be able to run home for inventory}...but without my mom and Ms. Rebecca's help...it would be harder for me to do a show in town by myself. I am just a little nervous to get to my parents and see my inventory...my mom calls everyday with a new shipment that has arrived...I have a pretty little spread sheet laid out for my inventory, but I'm gonna venture not far to assume its going to look a lot different in real life and off paper! I have been doing my part here though...the above is a sneak peek at some ruffles I have been spending my evenings making and my price tags turned out pretty cute too I think! I have stocked the pantry, almost finished all the laundry and will have another talk with Stanley about how waking up in the middle of the night won't be cool or acceptable while I'm away...so hopefully hubby will be all set flying solo this next week.

...better get back to folding the laundry, painting plates, packing, and getting out of my pjs {just kidding on that last one...wasn't sure if you were still listening to my rambling!} I'm going to try and still post next week sneak peeks at our booth and then the show...but no promises.

PS...welcome all you new "faces" and friends-to-be. I'm so glad you have all ventured over from the nesting genius and I hope you feel welcomed and comfortable here! Thank you all so much for your sweet sweet compliments and comments on old and new posts. I am trying to reply to all the emails, visit the blogs through comments, and fill the orders for the treasures you so graciously bought and fell in love with through T&T. It will take me a bit to visit you all and I promise I will in a couple weeks when I return from my travels. {I think I have almost responded to all the personal emails...if not I hope to before I leave.}
