VICKI CHRISMAN'S, GUEST BLOGGER

I got to be a guest blogger on Vicki Chrisman's web site. Check it out here. I was honored to be asked. Also that photo of the Husker flowers I got a call from Accu-Cut and they wanted to use that photo on their web site and do a feature on the store. woo hoo!!!! I need to make some more of those flowers as I took them to Liz at UNL last night.

NEW JEWELRY MADE FROM STERLING VINTAGE SILVERWARE

I love buying from local artists and you have to see the new jewelry he brought in. He makes it out of vintage sterling silverware. I remember wearing spoon rings waaaaaay back when I was a teenager. He also makes very classy bracelets. He said it looks good to add a charm to the middle jump ring also.

A VISIT TO UNL

I am so happy as right after work we headed up to Lincoln to see Liz. After a week in college, she already looks smarter. LOL I did some decorating on her room and we took her to dinner at her favorite place, Spaghetti Works. I sure miss my baby girl. I will be a basket case when the twins BOTH leave for college at the same time.

The 'word' From Remington...

For the short time that i have worked here at this amazing store, I have greatly noticed a huge difference in the atmosphere. Working here is so different and its a good change in pace. Amy has been very good to me and im in forever gratitude. She is an amazing woman, and the way she handles her stress blows my mind every day! Every day that i am around her i always feel like that im learning something new. Amy is such a great person! To be continued.....if i get around to it. lol

HAPPY FIRST ANNIVERSARY

Happy first anniversary to my son and his beautiful bride! I am so proud of both of them.

10am-Midnight Saturday crops!

We are doing Saturday crops from 10am-midnight and had a full house yesterday. Hope to see you next Saturday. Call 727-7706 or 575-1905 to reserve your spot.

We got the HUGE pack of brownies from Allotta Brownies which

kept everyone on a sugar high the whole time and they got lots done.

We went to the Fire Door for dinner which has the best burgers and onion rings! YUM!

I did not crop but I did make these flowers for Liz's dorm room. We have the die cut for these so stop in sometime and make a bunch. No cost to use the die cut machines,

just buy the paper and cut away! They make great inexpensive centerpieces for weddings and parties, great for hospital visits or just to cheer someone up. I am going to Lincoln to visit Liz tomorrow and take her to Spaghetti Works (her favorite) and bring her more stuff. She has called every day this week and is doing well.

This was her first week of classes and she survived. :)

The "keep the croppers going" brownie pack from Allotta

Brownies in Fremont. You have to check them out!

LOST DOG :(

We are still missing Lacey who got loose about a week ago with Bronco. We found Bronco and still have not found Lacey. We check the humane society every day and put posters all over but she is a hunting dog and could be pretty far by now. Waterloo, Valley, Omaha or Elkhorn. She has a pearl collar on and is white with black spots. If you have seen her please call 575-1905.

Lacey is the one on the right in the above photo.

Poor Bronco is so lonely.

SHOWING MY AGE

Look what I found at Target!

MY FREMONT FINDS

I bought this paper roll holder at The Dime Store Days sale for only TWO DOLLARS! I had no idea what I was going to do with it other than I could use to hold wrapping paper. Today I put it on the end of the printers drawer cabinet and decided it was an awesome display for bracelets. What do you think?

Another great find I found at the Junktion indoor flea market which is one of my favorite places to shop. I had been looking for something to put my button making supplies into. This worked perfectly and it is now cotton candy pink and drying. :) I love the mirror in it as when I go to craft shows with my buttons I can see behind me. lol

OUR OWN STAMP CLEANER

Everyone always loves my stamp cleaner and it has been my secret recipe. You have been asking me to sell it and after many years of procrastinating I finally took the plunge. It is awesome cleaner and conditions your stamps as well. I am selling it retail and wholesale. Email amy@ptdiva.com if interested in buying wholesale.

DECORATE YOUR CAR WITH ACCUCUT OR A CRICUT

We sell true vehicle sign vinyl in lots of colors at Precious Treasures to decorate your vehicles with. When you get tired of it, just peel it off. Mine has gone through the car wash for almost a year and still looks great. Today I added some big polka dots to mix with my small ones. I love it! We will also decorate vehicles for you.

Remington being silly at the store

Remington was having fun at the store today. He found the Diva crown! LOL

SHOPPING DOWNTOWN FREMONT

I took my lunch break and ran to the Dime Store Days as I am still on the hunt for printers drawers for the store. I was so excited as they are having inside sidewalk sales and I got lots of bargains and some new unique fixtures for the store. Somehow Remington talked me into a desk too. LOL

FIRST DAY OF JUNIOR HIGH

This will crack you up! Today was the first day of school for the twins and the girls teased Ruth she was a Diva! I was a proud mom but she was not thrilled. I was such a Diva at her age and loved setting new trends. I get on facebook and they still talk about my wild style. hahahaha

WE MAKE CUSTOM BUTTONS / PINS

We make custom pins/buttons/magnets for your bands, photos, company logo's etc. We carry bottle cap necklaces, rings and just ordered magnabilities for the buttons to go in if you want to wear them. Quantity discounts available and we have thousands of different styles in stock.

OFF TO JUNIOR HIGH TOMORROW

Not only is it a milestone for Liz to go off to college, it is a milestone for the twins also. They start junior high tomorrow. We went this morning before work and decorated their lockers.

LIZ

I am really missing my baby girl. I sent a big care package to her today with lots of goodies. I know all of our Saturday customers will get a kick out of this. Liz has always hated the bell at the store as that meant she had to help out at the check out desk. She enjoyed hiding it from me and has even taken the dinger out. So I bought her, her very own bell and even blinged it in husker colors and added it to her package.

Liz's very own bell :)




I ran up to UNL and took Liz to lunch at Spaghetti Works. (Her favorite)

MIDLAND COLLEGE ORIENTATION BOOTH

We had a booth at Midlands College Orientation today. There was so many people and it was good advertising for the store. Remington was having a blast as you can see in the photo's. On the other hand Zacheus was so bored. LOL

Zacheus was so bored!

Reminton was having so much fun meeting new people and talking about the store.

He was the hit of the show!

MY ALL TIME FAVORITE PAPERS

I am in LOVE with this vintage paper pad!!!! I have sold out of them three times and I just got a huge shipment in again and hope this one will hold us for awhile. Come check them out and you will see why I am in love with them!!!! It is rare to find a paper pad that you love every sheet in it.
