So Happy in these wee hours of the morning

Yes I live in the central part of the USA

yes it is only 4:20 as I am starting this post *sigh*

what is on my mind, well first off I am counting my blessings

For God has answered a prayer for me

something I will not disclose on my blog for now

But just feeling a relief from the past few days!

So when things seem impossible and overwhelming

don't give up on the Good Lord to answer your prayers

sometimes there are reasons for the small wait you may

have to go through, but have faith that the right thing will happen

Now I have a subject I am not happy about

And I have seen others post about this lately

I have two boxes missing of items I have purchased

yes they are still lingering out there somewhere???

and worse then that I have a store owner that notified me

this morning that her last box had not made it to her shop??

Ok I can handle loosing something I had bought but

come on don't do that *GRIN*

sure enough the box is missing in action, probably flew 

somewhere it did not belong?

my mail carrier and I spoke today when she picked up

packages, the other night hubby took me to the cafe in the

small town we live in, when we left town to come back home

it was after 7:00 PM and we passed our mail carrier

going back to town, yes she was just finishing up her route

Apparently they have not hired extra holiday help at the post office

this year, she told me today that she is keeping long long hours

and the poor gal looks smooth worn out

I believe Santa shall be extra kind to her this year when

he gives her a gift!! 

She is so good to me, she has to get off the beaten path 

 my mail box is a down the road, so when she has a 

pick up for me, she has to make that special extra jot off of her route 

to come to my house

And she always stops to pet my Schnauzer's *smile*

of course that is the highlight of their day, they get so 

excited when they see her pull in the driveway

they have to go out to meet her at the gate :o)

another customer's photo of her Elf arrival

I have shipped three off the past couple of days

And now have two more to get done 

I shall continue to make elves all year long

And have so many new things in store

for what a wonderful customer has named

The Elf Capades, so many have joined in

we now have a group on Facebook with them sharing

their Elves shenanigans, they always seem to be into something

What this weekend holds on the home front

Well hubby has brought help home with him

and I am feeling excited, he bought me a Heater

for my building today !!!

Yes they will start work on it, progress will be made

not sure how much, but I will be patient

maybe just maybe this long over due, postponed so many times

project will start taking form *So happy*

I may have a studio / guest room by spring time

Even bigger news

It's a Girl, that is right our grandchild that is due in February

is a girl, Name: will be Lilly Nicole

We shall see, Something tells me they will change that :o)

maybe not, no matter what her name, I am so THRILLED

*yes I have had more then one blessing today*

MANY blessings all in one day of a week that 

I felt like I was just drowning here 

While communicating with Randi, the shop owner

about her box I noticed she had posted photos

of items she had purchased 

This collage includes some from last year and 

this year, in her shop

sure makes me miss my own Store 

Next year I have decided if I sell Wholesale

that all orders will have to be placed early enough before the

Christmas season that I can assure their arrival

thank goodness I never let boxes go anymore without tracking

of some sort, making it possible to know that boxes are just missing

Be sure as sellers to always do that! Only I did not cover this last

box with insurance, but I have learned a valuable lesson

at least it was a very small part of her large order :o)

In fact only one item and a few little ornaments 

*big sigh of relief here*

Now as for the items I bought that are missing

*GRRRRR*

but I shall be nice cause 

Santa Clause will be here soon *SMILE*

have a wonderful Weekend

*I am working on something new to add as a giveaway*

It will be on here in a couple of days
