The Blessed be the Name show begins July 8.  I am very excited to see the new Fall line and the new catalogs look amazing.  Ashley Eiler and her team are doing a fantastic job in Birmingham and it has been fun to watch them grow.  I also have some trunk shows of my new fave jewelry line Stella &amp;amp; Dot.  I have been very impressed with this company and feel lucky to have gotten involved at this point.  throw in July 4 at the lake, a week at the beach, and Sarah Grace's debut as a flower girl in Sarah and David's wedding, and summer camps and..TA-DA!  Month over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It may seem overwhelming but it is filled with things that I love to do...so I am sure it will go by quickly and I will enjoy each moment.  Tomorrow begins a new day of preparation, as well as another Stella &amp;amp; Dot trunk show.  I guess as long as I am excited about it, it won't feel like work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, hopefully I can retire for the evening soon and rise early - much to do and organize.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xUCV1Rrgv3k/Skgk37DT9bI/AAAAAAAAAAM/zBmOPKmWJIU/s1600-h/6a00fad6a14e9e0005011015e9b38a860b-500pi.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 293px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xUCV1Rrgv3k/Skgk37DT9bI/AAAAAAAAAAM/zBmOPKmWJIU/s320/6a00fad6a14e9e0005011015e9b38a860b-500pi.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352568700292822450" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xUCV1Rrgv3k/SkglTJlZX8I/AAAAAAAAAAU/U-dnEfZIKTs/s1600-h/welcome.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 208px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xUCV1Rrgv3k/SkglTJlZX8I/AAAAAAAAAAU/U-dnEfZIKTs/s320/welcome.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352569168050347970" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8834858360929735517-3652206200956932917?l=lucigivens.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lucigivens.blogspot.com/feeds/3652206200956932917/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lucigivens.blogspot.com/2009/06/busy-july-ahead.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8834858360929735517/posts/default/3652206200956932917'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8834858360929735517/posts/default/3652206200956932917'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lucigivens.blogspot.com/2009/06/busy-july-ahead.html' title='A busy July ahead...'/><author><name>Luci</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16456237288109598689</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xUCV1Rrgv3k/Skgk37DT9bI/AAAAAAAAAAM/zBmOPKmWJIU/s72-c/6a00fad6a14e9e0005011015e9b38a860b-500pi.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
