April Discussion Thread

[#1]

Happy April everyone!!!

Starting a new thread for the month!!

Just a reminder...this is the thread where we should post chit chat, new items, treasuries, and really anythign and everything! That way it is easier to just click on the one thread to get all our team info, as opposed to 3 or 4!

I'm totally excited for this month - lots going on! I'm finally off work so I can (hopefully) get a bunch of stuff completed before baby arrives...it's my b-day in a couple days, Easter, and who knows - the little one COULD be here this month!!

Started the morning off with a fun Easter themed treasury...featuring 8 or 9 teamies!

Just popping in to say hello! I don't know how you girls keep up with this thread! Well I probably have a hard time because I need to pop in more often, lol. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

[Former_Member]

Hope everyone had a great Easter yesterday!! My daughter was SO cute looking for her Easter eggs! Live this age!

Am just in the waiting room for, hopefully, one of my last OB appointments before baby comes!! Then off to the hospital for a non-stress test. Wishing I was at him though (in my sweatpants!). THEN one more Easter dinner tonight with the in-laws!

Have a great day guys!

[Former_Member]

Just got back from my non-stress test...and apparently I'm having mini-contractions! Nothing to get too excited about yet, but hopefully, this means something will happen sooner rather than later!

Also, I've been following on FB the Handmade Gift Guide and they're awesome! Wanted to share a link where you can submit on of your listings to possibly be featured by them:

The Hand Made Gift Guide has over 6,000 followers so it's a good place to go and check out once in a while. They are actually following our Posh Nursery FB page too and said that they've bookmarked us for a possible feature...which is awesome! So be sure to go check that out if you haven't already! :)

Patricia I love those cushions! I have been busy trying to get my bunting orders finished this weekend, finally finished today! Now got to finish some letters I am making for my friends who are having a baby and then photo and list as I am using them as another example. They have been a work in progress for about 6 weeks so need to get them done!! Hope everyone is ok. My giveaway finishes tonight too so will need to sort that tomorrow, as well as get a post up on my blog. Am trying to create a blog hop which will start tomorrow. Phew!

good evening!!

I had an eventful weekend to say the least === on Friday a woman who is opening a brand new gift shop on May 4th came to my home to pick up 13 art pieces for consignment in the shop.

Saturday I got to meet a lovely customer in person and hand delivering her 3D piece .... had all sorts of errands to do in the city so it worked out perfectly :o)

Came home late to discover I had sold a 5X7 collage to a dear woman in Brazil and then Sunday morning at church we discovered an elderly friend of ours had just passed away.

I was sick Sunday late afternoon through to this morning but discovered last night that I sold 2 recycled Noddy and Franklin the Turtle 3D art pieces to 1 family in Louisiana!!

Who knows what this week ahead will bring ~ I know how excited and tired you must be Jenn as the days drag on .... a young friend of ours is expecting her 2nd any minute now and she's hoping baby arrives much sooner than later too!! :o)

Hey guys!

hOPE everyone had a great day today! I sure didn't! My poor daughter (2 year old) dislocated her elbow!! She's fine, just feel bad seeing her hurt! :(

Welcome new members!! Jen, hope ur daughter is ok! What did she do?

[Former_Member]

Hooray for new members.

Sorry about your daughter Jenn :( It's tough to see your kids hurt, even if it's minor.

[Former_Member]

Thanks guys!! She is totally fine and when the doctor (FINALLY) popped it back into place, it was instant relief! We were walking up some stairs and were holding hands...she slipped down and I still had hold of her hand...and POP. I felt so bad! THat actually happened almost a year ago too but with my husband - again on the stairs!

I guess it is really common because they're elbow bones aren't fully developed until they're five but it still hurts them! The doctor said most kids come in with it because they were holding hands with mom and dad and doing the " one, two, three...swing!" game! So be careful if you have a little one at home!

[Former_Member]

wow! Jen i'm glad she's okay!

Hey guys,

First and foremost - I am so pleased to introduce one of the two greatest things I have ever made - my new daughter Kate, born by emergency c-section in the wee hours yesterday morning!! We're both doing great now but will be in the hospital for a few more days! She's a healthy 7 pounder and 21 inches long. I will have some pics soon! With that in mind I will prob not be around for the next couple days!

Also - welcome new member Ekra!! Love this shop...be sure to check out her awesome area rugs at;

Congratulations!! So happy to hear of another beautiful Kate born into the world. My oldest beauty is also a Kate, a name I love.

Hope mom and family are doing well and that Kate is soon home to enjoy her own "Posh Nursery"!
