Shop Hop Monday 1/30

Thanks to The Smiley Cookie, I have found a great sweet treat for my lil’ Valentines! The package arrived very quickly after my order was placed and the packaging was so fun - which caught the attention of my 3 year old twins right away. But, they had to wait until after lunch!

A Sad Day at the office

After nearly 5 years, my laser engraver has engraved it’s last piece. Today, I was finally able to open up the back and confirm my worst fears. The glass tube (the heart of the machine) was busted. The reason why this happened is, and will always, remain unknown. I turned it on to run an order yesterday, I heard a pop noise and lots of fluid running out of the back (that was my antifreeze leaking).

I’ve got orders pending and so many more things I had planned for this season. Now, we are looking at all of the different options of getting a new machine in here. I hope to be up and running again very soon.

Until then, I am still running orders for photo engraved pendants and vinyl decals. So, if you see my shops becoming bare over the next few days, that is why.

I found this recipe on Pinterest last week and I tried it last night. It was just as easy as it sounds and very good! It's not often I find a recipe that I file in the back of my mind, and realize I have everything in the house for it.

I'm trying to win and iPad, please help!

I am clicking my way to get an iPad for my husband. I joined SuperPoints a couple of months ago and I'm already up to $50. But, I want to get moving on this and earn as much as I can towards this iPad. His birthday is in a couple of weeks and he is working out of town and I'd love to surprise him with this for a birthday/coming home gift from the kids and I.
