Making a quick trip to my hometown of Big Spring,TX...these are some of the sites I am sure to see...the Treasury title is tribute to us calling our little boring town, Big Stink because the highlight of Friday night is cruising around Sonic, no lie!

Click this link to check out my new obsession!
- Every scent is awesome and fills your home or room depending on the size of warmer you choose.
- They are beautiful and yet inconspicuous if you choose, but
why would you want to they have designs that blend nicely in
any decor.
- They have power over wet dogs, hardworking men and even
my husband cooking gumbo!

Music is inside her
This is a great treasury by my mom, Mary. She loves music and as you may remember my sister and I are named after songs....not Beatles songs, thankfully, I may have been named Strawberry!

I'd Rather be ... Than Doing Taxes
Napping, playing ball with Daisy, soaking in a hot bath, crafting,watching TV, catching some rays and even doing housework...think I am going to start drinking instead.

Another day bites the dust!
Sometimes I have to stop myself & ask "Where does the day go?" I supposed that is better than sitting around twiddling my thumbs. I have been known to leave things until the last minute but I am finally in a much different place in my life where I don't have that option. I have always worked but this is different, my life is full, busy in a good way. I wake up and hit the ground jogging (not running)!
My family has been small business owners my entire life. In the Latin community it is very common for everyone in the family to pitch in & help out in someway. On weekends I always spent it a mom's office. We had very full lives with either work or community service with our church congregation. Then came married life, I have finally learned how to be a "housewife". Now I wanted to expand into a small business owner for myself. I am doing great and am naturally better than I first thought I would be. I think timing was perfect & has a lot to do with my success. The younger and insecure April would have probably fallen flat on her face. So often I heard that turning 30 and 40 were monumental ages for women (but until it happens to you it's hard to understand). The number itself didn't do it, I think its more of a culmination of experiences we tend to have by that age. We have found & lost loves, made best friends & experienced a girl cat fight or 2, thought we were too fat, skinny, ugly, dumb and the list could go on and on! Somehow I grew into this skin and became totally comfortable with who I am, an able body woman with her own dreams, opinions, and strengths. I believe this frame of mind has lead me to this success, one I was ready to embrace. I have had a phenomenal year thus far. In one of my previous blogs I wrote about my firsts and the joy received by them. The 2nds and 3rds are just as exciting! I see it turning from a little pea-sized snowball into a huge run away boulder!!! Well one that I can still handle, balance is a must to keep ones sanity.
I am working on a few new projects which I am super excited about. I have been tweaking this for a few months but am finally "Etsy Posting" ready. Drumroll please!!!
I am also working on some you can personalize but in the meantime I will offer a variety of notepads that have initials. Order items with a little extra time when customizing.
Since paper is a place I feel very creative I have focused my attention into creating a few new things. Look for these items in my Etsy Shop soon.
So these are the new little pieces that will be hitting my shop soon. I am also working on getting my personal website finished where I will offer items from Pieces Of April & A Branch On The Beaded Tree, TOGETHER, yay finally!!!

I am having a blast...and it's only the beginning of that venture as well. This is the best time to join the Scentsy Family! In February you will get double testers, Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer testers.
I have done the math I paid $118.00 for my starter kit, if I sold everything they sent me ($89 retail value) and never sold anything again it would have only cost me roughly $30 to see if this business was right for me. A turn key business at that! As I have said before I have sold everything, this is different I am simply sharing the product, it is so good it sells itself. It's my new obsession!

Gray Skies Blue
My latest Treasury. I love gray!
I think it's my favorite neutral.
On my recent trip to Chicago I saw tons of icicles & snow.
The skies when visible had bits of blue & gray.
This Treasury was inspired by my trip
and of course all of these beautiful finds!
