...another Best Seller Item

Beauty of Creating had a  huge Summer Sandal event

a fast hit among customers worldwide!

During early December, they were one of the highlights of our Cyber Sale!
Many customers took full advantage of a great product at an amazingly low price!

More colors are coming, and should debut late Winter 2018/early Spring 2018!

Thank you for shopping, sharing, and supporting us in all that you do!

San Antonio for Christmas...Travel Highlights

Hey guys! We're back.  Chavonne and I have a few highlights to show you.

Here is how we (me and Chavonne) were greeted at the San Antonio International Airport...

We freshened up and then off to Papadeaux's for lunch...appetizer, some of the best Mozzarella Sticks ever...oh and that sauce!  Then to the main, a Greek Salad with an enormously large Baked Potato!

***

Three tours of Christmas Opoly and the finale on Wednesday...we're all winners.  The girls practiced their reading and math, and ready to graduate to Monopoly!

***

Then we had a ball, literally...with two little darlings...a doll pageant.  Our myLife and Journey Girl's headed to the stylist then dressed for pageant events.

Paris Shaw won "Best Dancer"

Chavonne/Brielle "Best Pose"

Pageant Winner Chavonne/Ann
"Best Dress" and "Best Shoes"

Chavonne/Straight Outta Detroit
"Best Travel Casual"

***

I made a Caramel Cake, but we also had a pound cake, fried cauliflower, macaroni & cheese, green beans, rolls, sweet potatoes, and ice cream!

***

Touring San Antonio...we went downtown and finished at the Base Exchange (Randolph A.F.B.) for a quick lunch and to shop souvenirs!

@Alamo

River Walk with two darlings~

Watching the River Boat Taxi...too cold for the local's to ride, I guess

Randolph AFB, Base Exchange

***

We had a great time...got spoiled really good, and then headed home to regroup and come back to reality...a bitter disrespectful cold to greet us! 

We can hardly wait to go back!!!

Merry Christmas!

Part IV: Inventory.

Pattern Coding System Web Series:

Part I: The Coding.
Part II: The Photograph.
Part III: The Instructions.

The next part, which is the prelude to the finale of this five part pattern building system is the inventory tracking system.  It does not have to be fancy.  You make as simple this:

...to as extravagant as a database, with references, cross references, and indices utilizing MS Access/Support.

My choice now is the former, but of course if/when things outgrow my simple system, then it is off to something more sophisticated.

As it stands, I retain and update this listing as new patterns enter the 'inventory'.  I keep/maintain the current copy in a binder next to the drawer/box that stores the patterns.  When I add patterns, I do so manually by scratching notes at the bottom of this 'hard copy'.  Each month-end, I transfer these notes into the Word.doc inventory, whereby it receives the official update.

The inventory is superb.  It allows me to scan the listing to search out exactly what I want or need, without having to go through the patterns one-by-one. The effort is to the handle the patterns as infrequently as possible in order to maintain the life of the envelope.

Stay tuned to the next and final chapter of this series: Part V: Storage.

Quiz: How did I arrive at numbering Pattern # 10207/Crop Top, Walking Shorts?
