Coming soon Spirited Lady Support Community! I have decided to get back to the reason for starting this website. My main goal was to offer support to other women and yes men too! I got totally sidetracked trying to make enough money to cover my expenses and I apologize for that.

I've recruited the help from my good friend Sue Pompetti of High Strung Beads. She has a lot of fantastic ideas! This new support community is going to be great! Each person will have their own profile, blog, mailbox, photo albums and much more! We're going to have guest bloggers, group leaders and whatever else we can think of.

I'll be setting up a group on eating disorders and depression, Sue has some ideas for groups that she'll lead and we'll be inviting group leaders from many other areas. I'm just so excited about this I can't hardly stand it. Hopefully we'll have it up and running by the first of next week but I had to tell you about it!

Please come sign up when we're up! I'll let you know the minute that happens!

WooHoo, this is just too fabulous for words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come and visit Spirited Lady Boutique's new Flower Shop! Just in time for Mother's Day, I know I'll be sending my Mom some! Flowers are just so bright and cheery, even my husband likes to get some once in awhile!

There is also a new game site for online and download games. I'm a computer game junkie so it works well for me. I get to play them from my own site, what could be better than that.

The other new thing is a Word Press blog. I've been wanting to learn Word Press, why I don't know, so I added one of those too! Watch it for new updates too!

Also, coming soon, a Health Store and a new Work at Home Resource site called Shop Build It.

The upholstery classes are on hold until Craig gets done with this current contract he's working on. He's been working 7 days a week, 8-12 hours a day and is too tired for anything, the poor guy! Be sure to check out our new upholstery support community by clicking the top button on the nav bar. We hope to get it hopping when the upholstery classes start so go ahead and sign up!

I want to thank everyone for hanging in there with us! I get side tracked with all the new stuff I want to learn and kinda forget about keeping everyone up to date. Please feel free to send in any ideas, suggestions, preferences, or things you'd like to see added to the site.

Have a fabulous day and I hope you enjoy some of the new additions!

I noticed that most everyone is visiting the old Upholstery Support so I moved the nav bar button for the new Upholstery Support to the top of the nav bar! Sorry for the confusion on this, I just haven't had a chance yet to move everything over to the new community site.

There's also another slight delay on Upholstery Classes. Craig has a huge contract he is working on starting now until Mid May. It is very work intensive so he's going to be tied up. The software we bought wasn't quite what we needed for the classes. They are working on correcting the problem it has and hope to have it done soon. Maybe everything will come together by the end of May! Cross your fingers!!!

We apologize for all the delays and problems. Sometimes it's a little hard to keep up with everything when we both work full time. I hope you'll hang in there with us!

That's it for now so I hope everyone has a wonderful day and I'll keep you posted!!

When I was growing up, I loved listening in when my mom and her friends planned parties and showers and weddings and all kinds of events. Everything had to be just so - “You must” do this and “You can’t” do that, and one day I just asked “Why?” I was told, “Because it’s tradition , sweetie!”

But not anymore! Now it’s all about expressing your personality and pushing tradition aside. I mean, just look at the latest trend in wedding dresses - miniskirts! You don’t have to be afraid to show off your legs!

We have bought a web conferencing software and are learning how to use it! We hope to have things figured out within a week or two and hope to start classes soon! WooHoo!!

You will be able to download our conference room onto your desktop. There is also a short video tutorial to show you how it works. There are a few customization features that you can set for your preferences. We think it's going to work really great so cross your fingers.

Here's another new update for the upholstery classes. We are getting closer, we think! WooHoo! Trying to find a web conferencing program is not as easy as we thought. Many of them are very limited in the amount of people that can attend and what's available.

We apologize for the scheduling error last Saturday! That was my fault, I forgot to post the cancellation. So sorry! Will try to do better!!!

Exciting news! We have set up a new Upholstery Support Community that should be much easier to use with many more features. You will be able to post pictures, videos, create groups with other members plus there is a blog and a forum. There is also an event area where we can post class schedules, etc. This is all free of charge and will be replacing the current support page. You will need to sign up, create a profile and post any questions, pictures, videos that you would like. I'll be sending everyone who has signed up for either the support page or classes an email with a link or feel free to sign up from here. If you are new to the upholstery support community, just click the tab on the bottom of the nav bar and create your profile.

I'm going to try to move everything from the old to the new but that may take some time so you will see 2 tabs on the nav bar for a short time. The one on the bottom of the nav bar will be the new support community which will be the one you want until I get everything moved over.

We hope you enjoy the new Upholstery Support Community and would love to hear what you think so post away there or contact us through the contact form.

Thanks for hanging in there and we'll be announcing more on classes shortly!!

I'm also starting a new Find Your Spirit Campaign. I'm setting up a series of affirmations that will arrive to your email once every 7 days for a total of 7 weeks at no charge to you. These include an affirmation and some self reflection questions. Once I get them all set up there will be different topics of affirmations such as smoking, food, etc. The first one is done and it's on disappointment and opportunity. You'll find the sign up forms on the nav bar under what else but "Find Your Spirit". There's also an article on that page which describes affirmations and what they can do for you. I used affirmations while recovering from my eating disorder and they really did make a difference.

Come on and sign up and let Spirited Lady Boutique help you "Find Your Spirit".

New Feature - Add your suggestions, comments and requests below!
