Something to be thankful for!

Hope everyone enjoyed there Thanksgiving Holiday! I sure did, lots of good food, good company with friend and family, and lots of good shopping! Love Black Friday Sales! I have so many things to be thankful for, most of all is MY NEW WEBSITE....It launched this week. Please check it out at http://www.joannemirandadesigns.com/ . I am so happy with it! Peter of Lazar Webscape, did a fantastic job. In the next week I will be adding even more pictures of some recent modeling shoots that show my jewelry and headpieces and recent press. Some of my designs were shown in a fashion layout in Focus on the Coast magazine, thanks to Jess James, stylist.

I am so thankful for all who has helped me too get to this point!

OFF TO NY.....

I am off to see my sis-in-law and neice in Long Island. I have not been there in 2years, looking forward to see lots of family and old friends. My main mission for going on this trip, which I am excited about is to help my sis-in-law buy furniture and decor for her new home. I love shopping, but I love it even more is when I spend someone elses money.....

Before I hit the airport, I am doing my last little bit of homework for my new website which should be live next week, I can not wait.....So I will be out of touch till 11/24...

I will truly miss my boys, this is the first time I have been away from them.....I love them very much, miss ya boys!.......................................TTFN:)
