Oh, my goodness. My last post was two weeks ago? So much has happened since then!

First of all, I have started my jewelry family!! I’m so excited, because my new jewelry “baby” is a really good friend, and I know she’s going to be such a great jeweler! Her training show is in about three weeks, and we’re both so excited for it! It can’t come soon enough!!

Also, last week I went to my very first national rally. There was training, lots of great jeweler friends, inspirational speakers, recognition (I got to walk across the stage three times, and stand up for an award once!), over 9,000 jewelers in attendance, very little sleep, lots of late-night chatting, and a BRAND-NEW jewelry collection–the best one EVER!

Walking the stage!

The production at rally was amazing. Just look at the sparkly sign!

I missed my kids terribly while I was gone (for almost a week!), especially because B. Belle’s birthday was while I was gone. But I will NOT be missing her birthday celebration! That’s in a few days, so watch for a post on that…it will be a princess overload!

Baby loved her balloons from grandma!
