Whats New...
I spent 12 plus hours working on 246 new fall/winter hair accessories. I have taken photos of the mini bobby clips, small and large clips. I have organized them by flower color; I hope that it makes purchases a bit easier! I have been struggling with how to post my inventory on Etsy. Therefore, I need your feedback! Because I have over 300 hair accessories available and they are in two local salons it is hard to photograph each one, and post it on Etsy. I will be taking the new clips to the salons this week, so inventory will change yet again… Because you are my valued customers I need your thoughts! Leave a comment or your feedback, as its much appreciated. Don’t forget to scroll down to the previous post to see the new fabric and clips! Happy shopping…

Photo’s and Ramblings
It has been a wonderful summer… with vacations, family visiting and soccer; the Cunningham casa has been crazy! Although at times the house seems like a revolving door I have had some time to sit back, relish in the memories and thank God for my countless blessings. I realized last night that time passes us so quickly and as Horace wrote, “carpe diem!” Seize the day because we cannot foresee the future and time flies I feel like it was just yesterday I was kissing my kindergartener goodbye for his first day of school… and now he is in third grade!
I have had the opportunity to meet so many amazing people since I started the business. I have an eye for the arts, however my photography skills are lacking. We did invest in a new camera and I cannot begin to write about what a HUGE difference just that has made; yet photo editing has really been hard for me. I tried Corel and Adobe Elements and I failed miserably at both!!! I have been in touch with a few WONDERFUL photographers in the last few months and we have done some “trades.” Their work is stunning and I am struggling to write how thankful and amazed I am. These photos have just enhanced my site and I feel as though the true products uniqueness is captured.
This weekend was insane with soccer. Ethan had games Friday and Saturday and both nights I/we were at the field until after 10pm. Needless to say work has been on the back burner… I got up early this morning to check emails and get orders ready to ship… and the first email I read was from Sarah Wise (http://www.wisefam.blogspot.com/). Sarah took some photos of her gorgeous daughter modeling Sucre Lulu. I was in awe… in fact I immediately messaged Steven and said, “client I traded product for photos did her 1st shoot. I am updating my site. Pictures gorgeous. Cant w8 4 u to c the site I feel so blessed!” (excuse the text lingo) So, thank you Sarah and Kathryn (for modeling). Sarah will be doing a senior portrait session soon and will be taking more photos of Sucre accessories… I cannot wait to see the photos!!!
Finally, I have spent a few days here and there working on product and after many house made 102 new clips! I am waiting for the alligator clips to be delivered and once they are I will finish the clips and snap some shots and post…. Stay tuned because this is one of the best batches yet!

Back to the OLE GRIND
It has officially been one week since Steven left for Iraq. It gets harder each time; however I have learned how to handle it better! I wait until I am away from the drop off area before I cry, or should I say sob? ! The first several days are very tough, and I am so blessed to have wonderful family and friends to support me. My sister invited the kids and I to Bodega Bay Dunes and it was JUST what I needed. We spent the day at the beach, and spent the evening huddled by the campfire listening to the waves and fog horn. I spent the rest of the week at home, getting back into the routine, yet my sadness and broken heart did not subside. I miss my soul mate and best friend. I miss our time together… I cannot wait to see him again in a few months… We both agree that God has a plan for us and we will continue to honor Him and have faith! Although we are apart, we are blessed with our health and a home, family and friends.
So, this week I peeled myself off the floor and the sadness that consumed me and started working! I was asked to create some onesies for a baby shower, received a hair clip request from a bride, and was just asked to donate a gift certificate for a raffle. In addition, Angie Arthur (with Angie Arthur Photography) featured Sucre Lulu on her blog. I am doing a $50 giveaway (www.thearthurclan.com), and she took some phenomenal photo’s of the product. I cannot wait to post them. Thank you Angie… I am so honored!
I have posted some photos of the new clips I made this week. I have tried something new and I would love any and all feedback! Enjoy!

There are no coincidences…
In the past several weeks I have been working tirelessly on Sucre Lulu inventory. Managing the house, working, rearing children and trying to take care of myself has been interesting to say the least. I have had the opportunity to meet a number of amazing mom bloggers, whom have done some amazing reviews on the accessories. I cannot thank Jill from “Women Who Do It All” blog, and Chelle from “The Winey Mommy” (both of their giveaways close at 11:59 tonight). Tomorrow Brittany from “The Greer 5” will be doing a review and giveaway and next Friday Crystal with “Wanna Be Balanced” will be doing yet another. These women have blessed me, and I feel honored and humbled by the opportunity they have provided me. I have already received a number of orders and I cannot thank them enough. Last week I made several trips to the Post Office; however one of the packages I was most excited about sending was that to the winner of the Buckles and Spurs Auction (fundraiser to help find a cure for Parkinson’s). This auction was last weekend in Atascadero, CA. I cannot thank Heidi and Tracy for allowing me to be a part of this event.
So where am I going with this…. Is this another senseless rant due to my self diagnosed ADD? NOPE… Just today I met a man whom makes shirts out of his home. He worked for 30+ years as a designer/print screener. Although Steven was hesitant about me going to someone’s home for the shirts I knew in my heart and gut that it would be okay. I sat and listened to this man talk about his years working, the people whom he has met, and the best part… how much he LOVED his job! He customized three shirts for me and the kids, and a business shirt for me. We discussed Stevens time in Iraq, how my business is challenging but rewarding and how he has stayed in business for so many years. He is launching a new product… Dreams on a pillow! He takes pillow cases, prints a picture and a saying on it and every night when you lay your head on the pillow you close your eyes to your dreams. AMAZING and BRILLIANT… he made two for me and I have already sold two! He was so thankful that I would spread the word (via the net) that he made my business shirt for free. I left his garage / store and for an hour thought about the blessings I have received from a few women who loved my product, and how I cannot wait to pay it forward. Once I have the pillowcases I will post them along with his information. I am going to talk to him about a possible giveaway, so stay tuned!
This week will be yet another week, as my baby turns 3, and we are preparing for Daddys arrival! Yes, you read that right… no more wondering, guessing or praying! Steven will be home in 10 short days. I am elated… it has been seven very long months and I miss him more than I can articulate. I miss the small things… the way he says my name, holds my hand in the car, makes my coffee, turns down the bed, does the dishes, and most importantly loves me (from our living room, not from a million miles). I am so happy and I look forward to your twenty days as a family!

Business, life and more… much more!
The past few weeks have been busy, the weather has been bizarre and although I feel as though I am part of a circus (juggling on a trapeze) I refuse to say I am stressed! I was able to be a part of a benefit a few weeks ago for CASA and not only did Sucre Lulu get great exposure; I was able to meet a ton of wonderful people. Since the event I have landscaped our yard (to included hauling bark, and putting in a spa), dealt with the crazy weather, and planned my mom’s 60th birthday party. Once over this hurdle I am sure there will be others!!! In about 6 weeks our summer vacation will start and then shortly after we will be going to Costa Rica for a vacation…
I have been working tirelessly on new clips, pins and headbands! I added some spring/summer flowers to the line…. Enjoy!

Sucre Lulu Facelift
It has been a while since I have last blogged and in part was due to the blog facelift. I cannot thank Marina from Penny Lane Designs enough for her hard work in creating the new look. She truly captured my style without even meeting me! So, thank you again Marina you are a blog design genius!
Ok, as most know my New Years Resolution was… not to use the word STRESS… And with that said the past two weeks have been the most difficult since Steven left for Iraq (almost two years ago). In two weeks I have (in no particular order):
-Bribed my stubborn two year old with a pony, bike and puppy to take her antibiotics (all I have to say is whew thank goodness she didn’t take it – the pony and puppy would have been hard to explain)
-Spent several hours at Kaiser due to her not taking her antibiotic
-Dealt with a faulty thermostat on our BRAND new water heater
-Cried and prayed due to the terrible two’s and tantrums – and this is no lie
-Missed my sister whom was in Thailand more than I thought I ever would – because when Steven is asleep and something happens I pick up the phone and call her
-I came down with the flu
-Battled a bit of insomnia (it comes and goes)
-Had to jump start the Yukon with the Dodge in the rain
-Worked tirelessly on the backyard in between the rain
-Injured my foot
-Used a new exfoliate which caused adult acne, so I corrected with Retin A, which caused my face to peel off look burned
-My laptop froze and needed a hard drive replacement (I still do not have it)
I am sure I am missing something, but regardless of the “something” it has just been a difficult few weeks. I have learned a lot about my tolerance level, how to listen to my body (with being sick and my foot being injured) and not over do it, how important sleep really is, how heavily I rely on technology, and how embarrassing tantrums REALLY are (although I will never judge another mom at the market – because my “princess” is NOT perfect).
In the midst of all the chaos I have worked on new products and received a number of photos from people whom have proudly displayed them! I could not be more thankful for the support I have. I feel so honored that a few gift certificates and accessories will be auctioned off in March and April at two big events! I have also made the business decision to focus more on accessories rather than clothing. I will continue to sell my fun “onsie,” but after prayer and conversations with Steven I believe I am moving in the right decision...
So stay tuned for more accessories

Unexpected Gifts…
I truly feel there is NOTHING better than unexpected presents from loved ones…this week I have received two gifts in the mail. The first was handmade soap from my Aunt Lynn (whom is a phenomenal artist in Laguna Beach), and the second was a coin heart that reads “you are loved” from my girlfriend Niki… aka Sunshine! I met Niki through another friend and we quickly bonded. She is amazing…she is so smart and funny… she is a HUGE Sucre Lulu fan too… anyway, as I was out today I just kept thinking how small tings are such blessings and they came at the perfect time. Such a God thing… that’s how He works… never early and never late… always on time; I have had an interesting week thus far and Im learning through my Creflo Dollar Bible studies that I CAN manage my stress. With that said, this is what I am doing different this year:
1. Breathe
2. Think before I speak
3. Read my Bible when I need a time out
4. Lower my decimals
5. Don’t use the word STRESS
6. P90X
Anyone who knows me well knows that one of the traits I picked up from my dad was the LOVE of infomercials. I have been wanting for a while to get on a better eating plan… I find myself NOT eating throughout the day and of all people I know this is super unhealthy. Well two days ago I woke up prior to my Bible study and was mesmerized and hypnotized by the P90X… so I am quickly approaching 33 and we are taking the kids on a tropical vacation this summer... we have pretty much decided on Jamaica (Beaches Resort). Therefore, I want to be in the best shape of my life (and stay in it). So I purchased the program. I have been so excited to start. Today yet another unexpected (I was expecting it on the 2nd or 3rd of February) gift came in the mail… it was my P90X kit. I have decided to go with the “lean” program. I ran 2 miles then got crazy with it. Today was my cardio day and it kicked my bum. I can tell my metabolism has kicked up a notch because Im huuuunnngry. I am committed to this and when I have my mind set… well its set. I will post my progress weekly.
I worked on two necklaces and more clips today. I have not had the opportunity to post the pictures, however I will. I am so pleased with how the new clips are turning out. They are so very vintage!
I will be attending my “grandmothers” (brother in laws grandmother, whom I have known for 15 years)funeral this weekend. Grandma Kathy passed away the 7th of January after her organs began to fail. I was honored to put together her power point and memory photo boards. Sys (my sister Erin), my mom and I start the journey to Clearlake Friday at 5:45. I am excited about getting out of town and giggling with Sys and my mom… we have fun together and I know it will be yet another memorable trip.
So, when I get back… I will have updates, photos, and other randomness.
Happy Friday friends…

Blogging for the first time... EVER
Im a self proclaimed armature blogger… This is my first blog EVER… I feel as though I am so very behind times… sad state of affairs for Sucre Lulu. I have had the pleasure to meet a fellow crafter and blogger Edi Wadsworth (Life in Grace) and this weekend she encouraged me to blog! So here I sit… a million thoughts running through my mind as to where I actually start. I have come to the conclusion that this will not only be a blog with Sucre Lulu updates, but a blog about my hectic days, nonsense ramblings, and useless factoids.
For those who do not know me (and even care for that matter) I am: A stay at home mother of two, a wife to an amazing man who is currently in Iraq, a Christian, a business owner, a runner, a reader, a crafter, a thinker, and a “what ifer.” I trust God, I have faith, I honor my parents, I teach my children the difference between right and wrong, I am loyal and an armature blogger. I love rain boots, the ocean, cleaning products, sushi, antiques, thrift stores, heated car seats, pillows, Sunday family dinners, electric blankets, cooking, and the library. I cannot live without my husband, my Bible, flat iron, scarves, Bounce fabric sheets, slippers, running shoes, Nike sports band, seltzer water, and my Blackberry.
On a business note… I have started adding flower pins to the Sucre Lulu accessory line. They are turning out beautiful. I have been making new hair clips; and those too have turned out much better than I anticipated. I will update photos on the site (http://www.sucrelulu.com/) soon...
