I have a dream…

I received an email the other day from my lovely mother-in-law and 
while I don't normal read forwarded emails 
{and NEVER forward them myself}, I did this one. It was short and fairly to the point:

July

Money bags

This year, July has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. This happens
once every 823 years. This is called money bags. So, forward this to
your friends and money will arrive within 4 days. Based on Chinese
Feng Shui. The one who does not forward.....will be without money.


Kinda interesting - read on!!!


This year we're going to experience four unusual dates.

1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, 11/11/11 and that's not all...

Take the last two digits of the year in which you were born - now add
the age you will be this year,

The results will be 111 for everyone in whole world. This is the year of
the Money!!!

This year July will have 5 Saturdays, 5 Sundays, 5 Mondays.

This happens every 823 years.... These particular years are known as
" Money Bags"

The proverb goes that if you send this to eight good friends money will
appear in next four days as it is explained in Chinese FENGSHUI.

Those who don't continue the chain won't receive.......

Its a mystery, but its worth a try. good luck. "I GET BUY GIVING"



So, while I don't buy into the whole chain email thing and wonder who even comes up with this stuff, I DO have big plans, dreams, hopes, 
expectations, etc. for this year and this email is just a funny little 
reminder of the things I'm hoping for in 2011.

I am hoping to:
  • build a strong fan base
  • network with other crafty women
  • inspire others
  • grow my business

So many things are starting to fall into place and though it's taken a lot 
of work and there's still so much more to do, I know that it's all going to 
be worth it. I think I might just be realizing my hopes and dreams and I 
think I've finally decided what I want to be when I grow up: 

I want to be a crafty mama who blogs and has a successful home business.

So, thank you to everyone who has supported me from the beginning, 
first with Crissy's Crowns and then the switch to Crystelle Chic.  


I appreciate each and everyone of you!
