I'm baaaaaack!

Yes, yes.. I have returned! My trip to Florida was wonderful. Here's a pic of me and my daughter, Kaia, the day of our Easter party :) If you look closely you can see I'm wearing my Easter necklace :D Kaia's bunny necklace is hiding under her scarf (WHY the child likes that hideous scarf I do not know.. but I smile through it!). She's grown so much since January, I swear! When she got off the train I only recognised her because she was carrying my old Animal (from the Muppets) backpack! She also grows more beautiful everyday.. and I'm not biased, really!

My best friend, Emi, came to visit with her family and that was fantastic. I've missed her so much and it was great to be able to sit around and chat like old times. Her new son, Ethan, is so cute! He seemed to take a liking to me right away and gurgled happily whenever he saw me :D

Mom made tons of wonderful food as always and I tried very hard not to make a pig of myself. Easier said than done in that house! We went shopping and went to all my favourite restaurants. I read the entire Twilight series (which was ok but not great) and spent time with my old friend Marc.. whom I've known for half my life. Ooh I also got to meet Leah's boyfriend/fiance, Eric, who is a really nice guy. (Doubly nice for putting up with Leah.. haha).

All in all it was a great trip. Now that I've returned I'm already up to my eyeballs in custom orders!! If you have something you've been yearning to order, please feel free to contact me. I'm setting aside the next two weeks for mostly custom orders :) Hey, I gotta keep you people happy!

I'm also running a 15% off sale on select items in my Etsy shop. Have a look and grab a bargain! I listed new trees and bird pairs today too. Lots of prettiness for spring awaits!

In other news, my sister-in-law, Zan, had a baby girl today!!!!!! YAY!!!!!! I'm so excited :) Zan is the girl responsible for my awesome bright red hair :D She owns her own salon and never lets me down. I always walk outta there feelin' great! She hasn't chosen a name for the baby but I'm pulling for Lola. She has a 2 year old son named Logan and I think Logan and Lola sound precious together! Plus it's just a kick ass name ;)

Ok, I'm off to kill zombies. Hope you all have a great week!

Love,
keiara
