Hi everyone, sorry I've been missing for the past few days.  I was sick over the weekend, and so I did not have the energy to touch my computer and write up my blog posts for the beginning of the week.  (I was so sick that I didn't even Tweet saying I was sick!)  The my Mom called me and asked if I'd be interested in an impromptu girls day out, so of course I said yes!  I generally don't get much when I go to a mall, and part of what I got I don't feel like sharing, but here is what I will show:

   Haha, yes, I'm only showing the bag from Victoria's Secret.  =P  And their neat little gift card promo that is running currently - purchases earn you a gift card that is worth $10 for sure, but might be worth $500!  How awesome is that?  I'd be happy with just $50 or $100, too!  =)

   Then I ran off to the DEB shop because I always love poking through their clearance racks.  Didn't find anything there that I had to have, but when I saw these lacy tights I snatched them up.  Wish they were a color other that just *black*, but of well.  Getting two accessories earned me a free one, so I picked out a feather hair clip.  It's nice and long and super soft.  I wasn't sure how I felt about the feathers-in-your-hair trend, but I've worn these once and I did enjoy them.  I was so afraid they'd tangle horribly but I had no such issues!  And my boyfriend said they were spiffy.  The only way they'd be better would be if they were pink.  ;P

   I hit a couple other stores but everything I wanted either was too big for me or it did fit but I didn't like the way it looked on me.   It figures!  By then we had overspent our time in the mall so we hurried home and since then life has been a never-ending stream of work for me.  I'm so glad I got to kick off the week with something refreshing, though.  It was more that I needed the time spent with my Mom than the shopping.

   So, I haven't been entirely delinquent about not posting on my blog - just a little delinquent!  Some action has been going on behind the scenes; I put up several more inventory pages.  This week and the next are going to be very busy for me so I may have to cut back on my 5 days per week posting.  Another sad thing is that I chipped a nail - rats!  My nails were getting to a nice length but now I'll have to shorten and reshape them.

   For those of you still reading this post: I'm pretty excited about my current batch of swatches and upcoming posts.  I'll just say it involves another giveaway~  Stay tuned!  I was pleasantly surprised to see that I picked up a couple more followers even with my absence.  Thank-you everyone.
