after the storm

It's been extra rainy around here for awhile. A few nights ago we woke up to this...





This pool has been a hassle. We've filled 2 times only to realize that the ground wasn't as level as we thought. We figured the 3 time would be charm. It was full of water and ready to swim in...only it won't stop raining! The day after the big storm we wake up to find that all the water had poured out of the pool. How? Your guess is as good as mine! My husband is pretty frustrated by the whole thing...I sure don't blame him. This has been more work that we bargined for! Hopefully we will try again soon and be ready for the hot summer days that are fast approaching:)

just to clarify...

I'm not quitting the bow business! I've had a ton of people email and ask if I was quitting since I put some ribbon up for sale! I'm actually doing quit the opposite! I have 100 yard bolts of all the ribbon that I carry. I'm just getting rid of the little rolls so I can organize better. My bow room is busting at the seems with ribbon and bow goodies!

Thanks to all my faithful customers, I have had the biggest spring ever and already headed into a hectic summer. My retail locations are EXPLODING! I've got bows all over the US now and just recently started suppling bows to my first international company.

My customers are the best! Thanks for making Hair Candy a success!

we got a pool

When we got married four years ago I asked for 2 things...a dog and a pool. I can now say I have both! We bought one of these...

These pools look great in the picture, however I assure you they are not as easy as they say they are! The hardest part is finding level ground. Matt dig out the area for the pool making sure it was as even as possible, but after it was filled, we realized it wasn't so level! We joke and say we have a deep end and a shallow end. Every time we get in the water spills over the edge. I thought I could deal with it, but it's not going to work! Matt started digging another area in our backyard today so we can move the pool.

Even after all this, I'm still glad we have it. We've been it almost everyday. I look forward to laying in it on these soon approaching hot summer days!

bella vita spa & salon

I'm proud to be the newest employee at bella vita spa & salon! As a treat to myself for finishing the Parker school order, I decided it would be a good change to get out of the house for awhile and of course, get some pampering too! I am working the front desk at bella vita and I love it:) My first day was yesterday. I only work a few hours during the work so that leaves me plenty of time for bows and such! Come in and visit me some time!

church picnic

We had our church picnic today. It was a gorgeous day too! The day started with (plenty of sunscreen:) and hot dogs & hamburgers. After eating it was off for a couple games of sand volleyball. It was free exfoliation for the feet:)

After volleyball is time to relax in the shade and enjoy a cup of banana split

Dippin' Dots.

Here's a pic of twin brothers, Luke & Wyatt. Their little blonds heads were getting red and dad had to get creative! The next pic is one of me and hubby and my friend Melissa.

Here's a random question...
