Rose Headbands and Rose Pins

Well I have finally gotten around to adding some new items to my etsy shop!!  I am so excited!  Not only do these headbands fit on me, but also my 3 year old daughter!!  Aren't they cute?!!

I can make them in practically any color and as for the bands themselves I am offering them in either plastic "toothed" or nylon coated.
The plastic toothed are available in brown or black.
The nylon cloth covered headbands are available in a creamy white, black, brown or a dark navy blue.
Just send me a e-mail at carrie.buggiesews{at}aol.com and I can make you any addition that you may request! 

(above)  See how cute they look on little girls!!!  Especially ones that LOVE to be fairies & princesses!!!

I also added these lovely ladies!....

These are single rose pins.  Aren't they adorable?!!  The above picture is of my fall collection of colors, but again, if there is a color you like that is not there, like pink or turquoise, I can still make them for you.  Just email me at carrie.buggiesews{at}aol.com, and I will make you what you like!! ;)

I can also put a alligator clip on the back if you do not want a pin.  These would look great on lapels, scarves, at the top of plain flats (shoes) or my favorite is to add them to a purse! (as seen below)

Cute huh??!!  I really hope you love them like I do! 

Again, thanks for stopping by!!

Trip To Dorney Park in Allentown, PA

It has probably been 15 more or less years since I had been to Dorney Park, and boy how I had missed it!  They new coasters that they have are awesome...per my husband & neice.  (Sorry, Dorney Park, but this Momma keeps her feet on the ground!) 

We arrived at the park around mid-day so the crowds were not too bad at all, which is great, especially when you have a 3 year old to wheel around! But we all had a blast.  And the Halloween Decorations were fabulous!

For Halloween, Dorney Park features The Age of Darkness which is held on select Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.  We of course did not attend that event, again, not age appropriate for my 3 year old.  But the rides and setups looked pretty cool.

Of course I could not leave there without taking photos of their gorgeous hanging baskets!  Look at these sweet potatoe vines!  (above) 

Sorry I am a sucker for really great hanging baskets, especially ones that are almost as big as me!

Anyways, where was I, oh yeah, so Dorney Park has rides for kids of all age.  Above you can see us kickin' it on the school bus in Planet Snoopy!  But they have other great thrill rides, roller coasters, family rides and of course the water park.  Unfortuately the water park was closed when we attended, so I did not get to re-live my favorite ride from when I was a kid, maybe next time!

The only thing that I do not suggest to get is their funnel cake, as seen above.  It frankly stunk!  I was extremely thin & way too crispy....dislike.  I suggest you keep your $8.00 and spend it in the gift shop! ;) 

You can check out Dorney Park's hours and what other great entertainment that they have to offer by going to their website, at www.dorneypark.com.  I am sure you and yours will have a great time like this smiling happy little one....

Oh, how she loves her trains!!

I really wish there was such a thing as "smell-o-vision!"  Because this Peace rose smells Fabulous!!



Bonus to going back to work...weight loss!

So I am slowly coming to the end of my 4th week, of being back to work full time.  And not only am I still getting more things done, than I had back when I was a stay at home mom, but now I have noticed something else.....I'm loosing weight!!  Yeow!!  I'm not sure how, but it is disappearing, the scale is only down just a little; but my "size" is down, so I guess technically I am loosing "inches."  The cool thing is that I have not started a diet, and I have not been exercising.  Well, I do go for a walk here & there with my daughter, but nothing drastic, she is only 3 so we can't go too far.  Granted, I think it may have something to do with the fact that I am up and running from 7am till 10 pm, but I'm not hating it! 

And strangely enough, I am eating more.  I think I heard somewhere that you loose more weight when you eat than when you starve?  Or something like that, I guess they were right.  Anywho, I probably have just jinxed myself since I just wrote about this, so I am going to now go and knock on some wood for good luck! 

If anyone else has ever experienced this please fill me in!!  I would love to hear any and all weight loss stories!

Happy Birthday Dad!! (aka Pop Pop)

Changing to a Working Mom Hasn't Apparently Slowed Me Down!

So as I mentioned before I have now gone from stay at home mom to working mom.  Yes, it has been a huge adjustment...but I am totally loving it!  For one thing I have noticed something very strange.  I have accomplished checking off more items on my to do list this week, with 40 hours work-plus 1 hr at least each day in travel time, then I have done my entire 1 1/2 years of being at home.  It may have something to do with not having access to facebook, which did suck alot of my time, but with the new changes on there I have been rarely keeping up with it anyways.  And don't get me wrong, alot of that time was running around after my now 3 year old, but I still have her with me when I am doing all of these projects, so who knows...but I am definitely liking it! 

Have any of my stay at home mommies turn working mommies have this same thing happen to them?  Let me know?  I'd LOVE to hear your theories!

But no worries I am still trucking along with my Indie Biz, BuggieSews!  I'll be adding some new goodies in the next couple of weeks just in time for the Holidays!  ...think red & green!
