Just a Happy Day

Just a quick good morning.

I’m so happy today. Just got back from soccer, then have an interview at 11, then I am meeting Jenni V to see Africa pics, then heading to MJC to cut some Art Fair goodness, and then dinner tonite.  Aghhh it’s gonna be a good day.

I got some super cool fabric and I am dying to cut it. One of my fave things about Art Fair this year is that we have been setting a lot of fabrics aside so that when you come it will be new, fresh prints. So much new stuff! And yes, I am working on the 12/18m and the 10/12 tweens.

You guys, seriously, if you are not planning on attending ART FAIR and you love Platinum, then you might want to reconsider. I’ve got really good feeling about this. It is so nice not to have the stress of “do we have enough, it is really good stuff, it is new, it is fresh, will they love it?”

And I do have to turn the ticket site off today so we can start planning swag bags, so be sure to get your ticket if you are coming.

I’m having a good day, too! Got the sweetest Mother’s Day card from my MJ girls – love it and thank you! But the big news is that I placed a beef, chicken, and fruit pies order with The Good Hart General Store! You know my Michael is going through some serious health issues … (Well, we are ’cause it’s a two-man job) … His Dad is coming to babysit next week while I’m in Cali for work … What a great treat for them to have, huh? The General Store posted a yumminess picture on FB … So I picked up the phone! Yay, Me! Yay, You … for sharing your love of Good Hart!! I’m dying to visit – we are thinking after AF! Where can we stay? Like you are going to answer!

You don’t even know how badly I want to reconsider!! Sadly I’m not made of money, lol! I told myself that there won’t be much in Grace’s size anyways… you know, just to make me feel better about not coming… and then you burst my bubble ;-) . Oh well, I’ll just sing Rolling Stones here in CA. You can’t always get what you want….

Platinum Update

It has been quite awhile since I blogged last and I feel like we have so much to catch up on!

I have really loved my time here so far at MJC. I work with some of the greatest people that make everyday unpredictable. I never know what each day has in store for me, and I love it!

These past couple weeks have been beyond fun! Since Kiara was in Africa I got to help Carrie with layering and even some cutting! Tabitha went on her first trip to Chang’s (I even got to tag along a couple times) We have been transforming 435 into an Art Fair wonderland and the excitement is overwhelming! This will be my first Art Fair and there aren’t any words to describe how much I am looking forward to it…I can’t wait to meet some of you and even your little ones:)

Now that Kiara back from Africa its like the family is back together again (cheesy, I know…) I just love it when Kiara returns from a trip, we always have a million questions for her and she has amazing stories to tell (not gonna lie, they usually make me tear a bit) Although we are sad for her to leave us we see how she is when she returns and we just know that is where she needs to be.

On to the fun week we had….let’s be real, these girls have become some of my best friends. Most days we spend about 12 hours together, whether it is going to the mall, pedicures, a movie, or just dinner to catch up on life outside of work. Since Kiara was gone, this week has been just about everyday! So much Platinum bonding time.

(embarrassing…)

Carrie is still pregnant as ever. I am so jealous of how cute she is, and she still hasn’t repeated an outfit. I wish I had her closet…She has been cutting all the live long day! This week has been tank dresses for Art Fair. Get ready ladies:)

Tabitha got her wisdom teeth out last Friday so the beginning of the week was a bit rough for her. But her cute cheeks are getting back to normal (PS she might kill me for that comment). She can’t wait to eat popcorn again. Oh and she also spilled her cold pop all over the floor today, instant depression. But I was nice and got her another when I was out on an errand.

Cara learned how to layer this week! And she got the opportunity today to play fabric Jenga. “What is fabric Jenga” you say?! It is when you have a pallet of fabric and you need the bolts in the middle. She was extremely successful!

Emily, Patty, Megan, and our new intern Lily have been at 435 this week buttoning, ironing, steaming, and hanging all the AF pieces. I love going over there to see the progress, it is AMAZING!

 

I guess that is all for now. Until next time:)

 

I know you are all missing Platinum, but never fear, it is not over quite yet! But relax this weekend and enjoy the awesome spring weather with the family. I know I am planning on taking a few bike rides!

Oh my goodness I am SO glad the pop didn’t splash on that beautiful fabric! :) Fabric Jenga. That’s clever. :) Good job.
Counting down the days till Art Fair.
Thanks for the update on Platinum. Hoping it was going to be up this weekend. I miss it. :(
Have a wonderful weekend ladies.
