WordFUL Wednesday

Here's another edition of a WordFUL Wednesday...

{*} This week seems very long considering I had most of last week as a vacation. This time last week I was hanging out at home with the hubster. Ugh. Why does vacation have to go by so fast?

{*} I've had some recent success in my Etsy store! I don't know if it's the holidays or what, but I'm loving it! I've had 4 sales just this morning! Thanks to everyone supporting my business! This is beyond awesome.

(*} Speaking of Spunk & Sass...we have some exciting news there too! We now own www.spunkandsass.com!! If you type that in, it will bring you to our Etsy store. Pretty cool right? I was talking to one of my co-workers awhile ago about buying my domain names for the blog and the store and he said it was a good idea. Then yesterday I was telling him how I bought the blog domain. He comes into my office asking me about the store domain and if I was going to buy it. I told him yes, but wasn't sure how to go about getting it. (Buying this blog one through Google was much easier). He told me to see if it was taken, I told him it wasn't, but he told me to just type in spunkandsass.com. I did and BAM there's my store. I was confused for a minute and then realized what happened! He said he didn't want me to lose the domain so he went ahead and got it. I tried to reimburse him, but he refused. He said "Happy Holidays!" I love random acts of kindness - especially since yesterday wasn't the best of days.

{whew. that was a long one}

{*} Before we got married, Hubby worked the summers on ships for a friend of his Dad's. In 2007 he worked the whole summer, even spent a month in China. I think I saw him 11 days out of the whole summer. He told me that there's a lot of potential work next summer and he's going to go. He said there won't be any long China trips, but lots of small trips. I can't deny that they money won't be nice, because it will be. We could do (will do) so much with that money. It just sucks that he will be gone so much. He's already gone a lot with coaching during the school year, so summer is when I really get to see him. I guess I'm just pouting...

{*} Oh it's finally the Christmas season. I'm so happy!! I love Christmas! It's such a happy and joyous season. I'm enjoying all the Christmas music (now that it's December). I have a few more things to make for Christmas and then it's time to start wrapping! I have a fun Christmas post coming...

{*} I'm possibly thinking of another makeover for the blog here. What do y'all think? Do you like it how it is? What would you like to see? Questions? Comments? With Gussy's amazing color suggestions, I'm thinking of going for a vintage/romance theme...

{*} The last two years, my friends and I have gotten together in December and we bake. It's our Cookie Day. Well it's this Saturday and I'm very excited! I have all my stuff planned out. I'm not actually baking per say, but I'm making some food items. Can you imagine 3 girls sharing ONE oven? Not. Pretty. So I don't bake :) I hope to take lots of pictures.

{*} Next to Heaven's new blog domain seems to be working properly, so please update your reader or whatever you use, your bookmarks etc. to www.nexttoheavenblog.com. No worries though, the old blogster domain will direct you here. No lost readers at Next to Heaven!

{*} So...I have some more good news...I ordered my digital SLR last weekend!! I keep checking my e-mail to see if it shipped yet! I am soooo ridiculously excited!!

{*} I'll wrap this up with saying thanks to all of my wonderful blog readers for your readership and sweet comments. You have made this blogging experience even more gratifying than I ever thought possible. Thank you!
