New beginnings, lots of changes.....

Hello everyone I am back! I am sitting tonight in my office, the lights off, the quiet of the night! So much has happened, so many things have changed and life goes on! I sit here tonight in the silence. I have had friends, family, my love, all kind of people close to me, glued to me for the last 3 months......tonight I sit here along and revel in the peacefulness of the still, of the quiet and of the loneliness. Family and my love are gone for now, we laughed, drank, partied, swam, watched wales, watched bowl games, ate, shared stores, worked, installed dryers, cooked, played cards, took photos, sunned on the beach, celebrated Christmas and New years, watched full moons hang over the bay, went to movies, went shopping, made jewelry, over all just enjoyed being, being with each other and being in this beautiful place.








One of my best friends here just reveled to me she is expecting a beautiful soul in August! I couldn't be happier for her and her partner! Pregnancy is such a blessing and especially for these two beautiful friends! I have grasped and accepted an important part of life in the last few weeks...........Change.......change is continuous, it is always happening. I said to Antonio the other day.... you know it never sticks around for long.........happiness, sadness, loneliness, heartbreak.......it all seems to come and go. The flow of life, everything is constantly in change.

New Year!

Hi Everyone! So sorry for the absence from blogging!!! It's been a super busy season here in Puerto Vallarta! The Jewelry business is very busy as well as Real Estate! Christmas went very well, I had my cousin Coltan, his wife Kelsey and her parents visiting from the US. Tomorrow my brother Gavin arrives for the New Years holiday and then on Tuesday the 4th my parents fly in for 2 weeks! Things are going to be very busy around my house hold! We are off now to buy supplies for tomorrow's celebration! Wishing everyone a happy and healthy new year!! I'll have updates soon!

It's beginning to look like Christmas!

What a long wonderful weekend!! I had a smashingly successful weekend here at the farmers market selling my jewels



Keep your fingers crossed for me that is keeps up! I spent the rest of the weekend with my cutie. Today we had a super lazy but in the end productive day. We got the house decorated



a ton of errands done and managed so squeeze a bbq dinner into the mix! He surprised me today and gave me bolt cutters........what is sweeter than a man that surprises his jewlery making girlfriend with bolt cutters!


I am pretty excited! They are used, so he took the evening to clean them up, clean the rust off them and get them in fine working order, I was able to cut some spoons today! Pretty exciting if I do say so myself! Off to bed, long week ahead!!

Dragging ASS!

Don't know what's come over me but I am dragging ass bad today! Feel like somebody unplugged me when I was charging my battery and my low battery light has been blinking all day! I came home early from work, took a nap then woke up with a headache! Lovely I know!

I got work this afternoon that I will have a space this Saturday at the Farmers Market again!! Yipee, very excited about that as I had a very successful kick off to the season there!! Well as I said my battery is low and I am running out of juice! Until tomorrow!

Many thoughts Monday

Good evening........today was another Monday........but a Monday with lot of decisions and new directions! Let me start out by saying that my debut at the Puerto Vallarta Old Town Farmers Market this weekend was a SMASHING success! I am so very pleased that my creations were so well received! I met so many great new folks and had such a great time selling! I hope to get invited back next week!

This weekend also brought about a lot of thought. Thought about my future, what I want, what makes me happy, what brings me down and I have decided that things in my life need to change. I need to change, I need to make decisions, I need to walk away from some things. Was this decision easy........NO, but is it necessary...... Yes. I know this, my 30th year will be a year of much growth and with that will come some growing pains. So very soon starts the journey.

On a lighter note, I had a great dinner with my bestie English friend Sarah, we went and had yummy Indian food at Casa de Tandoor, so gald to see them back open on Olas Altas after a long summer absence! The chicken curry and naan was divine!!! Yummy, thanks boys can't wait to go back!!!!

That's all for today, I am off to scope out Ebay and get some more great product to continue to make my creations!!! Cheers to all my friends in blog land~!

In Mourning

Yes it's true, I managed to lose my Blackberry yesterday...........anyone who is the owner/addict of a Blackberry, Iphone, Smartphone, ect will well understand my sadness. I had my life in that thing. I am so busy at work and really don't have time for this~! The only good part about this is that I have it backed up on my computer...........so as my friend Lauren from Cancun says.........Off to TelHell to get a new phone.........GRRRR so not what I wanted to do today!

Wow~Life is stranger than fiction

Ok folks I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried! So I go to bed at 3 last night after making 20 bracelets. I am exhausted, hit the pillow and I am out. I am startled awake, there is a shadow in my window saying my name..............My HEART WAS POUNDING! I came to, it was my ex-boyfriend from 2 years ago who, broke my hear, stole a lot of money from me and overall made my life a wreck that took me a year to get over. Here he is in all his drunken glory. I take a minute sit up in the dark and say, what the F*%$ are you doing here and how the F#%$ did you get in here (my place is double gated and fenced, pretty hard to get into) He tells me the gate is open, so he came up. Evidently the cops were stopping people crossing the state line and giving breathalysers so he needed a place to stay. Well it isn't here honey, I sat there for a minute the just simply said, I don't need or want to help you please leave and DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN~What in the world possessed him to come here I don't know, he sure is ballsy after all he did to me!

So then I got up made sure all the doors were locked...........then I laid in bed for an hour not being able to sleep and jumping at every little noise. Finally I got to sleep, took a good 3 hour nap, now here I am again!

Off to Print my business cards, did a little tweeking since the last post, then off to Sayulita with my cutie

I am very excited to spend some time with him today. Hopefully he can behave himself and not be cranky becuase no cranky allowed today. After the week I had last week..........I will leave cranky people in Sayulita to catch the bus home!!!
