May 21st, * FILL Orders Galore & travel to Alex's HS Graduation!

WELCOME SPRING!!!

I've been busy, busy down south in MS~ Yup, welcome Spring with the nasty weather changing colds & storm season... I Came down with a Cold/Virus just yesterday. It's Miserable trying to complete all of my .99 starting bid orders. Can you tell I'm not in the best of spirits, hardly motivated at this point... It's pushing myself to get my work done that I usually ENJOY. It also can be frustrating when my custom sets sell for so little, but it is a GREAT way for new customers to get to know me & have the opportunity to see the quality, holding my work in their hands & wearing on their sweet children. I realize the long term benefits can be great! Please share me with any of your interested friends... Forward my site, I have a mailing list through my site & ebay me*page where you can sign up for my bravenet, safe, private *mailing list.

I'm gearing up for a 4 day vacation to York, PA next weekend; I will be flying into Philadelphia Intl. Airport. Pretty excited about this, my husband purchased the ticket for me. I miss my family at home in PA SO very much. My grandparents are in their mid 80's & still happy & healthy, able to travel... What a blessing~ I also have 8 neices & nephews that will all be home for this great event. Our little brother is 18 & will be graduating from High School.

In the midst of filling orders & preparing for the weeks to come, I'm also creating new designs... taking photos & working on my website. My special little neighbor model will be moving in another week... She is the red headed angel on many of my auctions. You've seen a lot of her & she has really helped promote my designs. I will miss her greatly as she was my little friend who often came over to spend the nights & go to church with me on Sunday mornings when my husband was away, we would have girly night & give her mom & dad a break, night away on their own. I'm so grateful for how they have truly helped me in my business & personal life being fulfilled with LOVE & experience.

That is all for this week, I will try to post weekly, sometimes I know I will be too busy to post.
Thanks for checking in & telling others about my website. I am trying to also focus on adding more listings on my website. You can always contact me with an order or wish.

Spread the word about http://www.boneful.com/ , please! :)
Blessings, Bonnie

BonEful Boutique Designs

This is my very first Blog Experience...

I'm working on my website store to hopefully sell mostly from there instead of listing solely on ebay & etsy!~ I aim to keep you updated weekly here on my blog for those of you who are interested & check into my site often. It's a JOY to make new friends & have new customers & business along this dream of a lifetime that is slowly unfolding & coming to reality!!!

My favorite listing is my themed designs for boys and girls. I am showing a sample photo to the left here of some of my most recent designs for customers. I serve customers with exactly what they would like for a special event or child's favorite character (ie. Circus, Hawaiian Vacation or July 4th Heros of Sept. 11th, etc...)

I LOVE meeting with my customers & being an inspiration for others who would like to learn to sew & design as well as other professional designers, like myself. I appreciate all of you who have been with me since my start on ebay in 2004! YES, I've learned so much since then, from stiff, unlively manequins to the real life models & photography. I have come a LONG WAY~ I've endured a lot of hearaches along the way, if you have been with me throughout, I'm sure you can recall a few "blood, sweat & tears" so to speak. I LOVE serving others with my designs & unique specialty creations. I aim to please every customer & keep them coming back to shop on my website as ebay's fees have sky rocketed & it's hardly worth selling & buying on ebay anymore as the fees have taken over.

Please communicate with me any new ideas & LOVES you specifically have & would like to continue seeing in my design ideas & options for you as buyers. I appreciate every bit of help along the way & hope to keep each of my customers around forever!!!

Happy Mothers Day to all of you Mom's!!!
