September will be here before I know it

I know it seems like January is way early to be thinking about September, but it will be here in the blink of an eye. I have to think now about which events to do and what my schedule will be like for that month.

After a lot of thought, I have decided not to do the Indianapolis event again. There are many reasons why, but regardless, I am grateful to them for everything they did for my mother during her battle with ovarian cancer and for providing me with my start in vendorship. So, I'm down to one event from last year for which I was a vendor. I had been thinking about adding Cincinnati and this seemed like a good opportunity to look into it.

This September is going to be unique, though. My brother and sister are each getting married that month, a week apart from each other. I just realized the other day that it may cause a conflict with the run/walk events. Obviously if it came down to it, I would choose my family's weddings. But, after looking at dates, luckily there are no conflicts. OCAO's date is the day after one of the weddings. It is going to be rough, but doable. NOCC Cincinnati is having theirs on one of the off weekends, so that won't be a problem. I just have to contact them and get approved to be at their event, but that can wait a few months.

In the meantime, I did pick up a teal cross the other day at the store. I'm not quite ready to start making more pieces again, but it's on my radar. September, here I come!

All jewelry pieces pictured on blog posts dated on or after June 23, 2012 are available for order. Every jewelry piece is hand-crafted and no two pieces are exactly the same.
