Ok.... way too long ! Man... it's hard to keep up with everything! I have 4 etsy.com stores that need attention EVERY day. I am supposed to be packing, and looking for a place to move to! I have to pack up and mail orders. I need to take pictures and upload them every day. I have a new facebook account that I have to deal with.... trying to find new buyers.... and old friends! I have to try to keep some kind of a cleaning schedule, and feed people! Oh and take care of the litle grandson.... making sure he gets some fun time outside!

I know.... everyone has to do stuff... it just gets to be a little much, when everyone acts like I'm just having fun with my little crafts.... now feed me!

Enough bitching...... I will have new pictures and items, and positive thoughts really soon. I have added this to my list of things to do everyday!

Plus........ tomorrow is Darlene day!

WOW!!!!!!!!

It has been a LONG time since I updated!!!!
Oh my.... and I'm sorry! Am changing things up now, and will be
posting more faithfully very soon!

It's been a LONG time since I last wrote!

Wow... It's already December 7th! I can't believe it's been so long since I last wrote! Hubby Joe was off work all week and nothing got accomplished, except he played alot of games on the Wii!
And of course he's a big help with Ash. Joe gets up early, so if Ash woke up early, he went to play with grandpa.
I've had terrible headaches all week long, and have slept most of the time. My stores have been neglected, and sales reflect it badly! I promoted the destash store for 5 minutes on Friday, and got a sale right away.... imagine what could happen if I felt well! I've had a few stray sales this week end.... which is nice to wake up to.
Winters birthday was the 5th. My sisters Donna and Georgia met us at Starbucks with their girls. Donna brought her famous chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.... it's all made from scratch, and is coffee infused. YUMMY! It's always fun to bring your own food into Starbucks for a party! Afterwards we met at Taco Bell, then went shopping. After about 6 hours of this, my head hurt so bad I had to go home and sleep. Yay for Joe... he took care of Ash while Jeremy and Debi went to his work Christmas party.
I slept most of the day Saturday. Joe, Winter, Ash and I went to the Golden Corral for dinner. Winters pick for her birthday. It was good, but not worth the Saturday night price, as none of us ate the steak, Winter just ate vegetables, and I was sick. I came home and slept 'til 11:15 p.m. when Joe went to bed. It is now 1:10 a.m. and I am tired. My head is starting to hurt from the computer. Hopefully I will fel better later today, so I can list, promote, and get some more sales so I can fly Autumn home for Christmas................. Night all!

We went Christmas shopping!!!!!!!!!

Anyone who knows me knows that I wait until Christmas Eve to do most of my shopping. I can never decide what to get, or don't have enough money! This year I opened a Christmas savings..... not much, but enough to make sure my kids get presents on Christmas once!

We bought some fun toys for Ash... I thought he needed some little cars and trucks to push around, so we found some cute ones half price at Kohl's. We got him some warm jammies.... green with froggies all over them. We were looking at some Bears outfits, when a little boy started yelling "Mommy.... they took my jammies... my froggy jammies".....and kept it up! We decided to look at slippers in another area instead! People looked at us kinda funny!

Winter already spent most of her Christmas money....... she found some shirts, socks, gloves, and a hoodie. She is way to practical! I think she has enough for a video game left! Tomorrow we will buy her a video game she wants for her birthday... she will be 17 in 13 days! Jeremy will be 26 on Thanksgiving! Where do the years go?!?!?!?

Circuit City had an ad out that said if you bought 2 Wii games, you got $20.00 off. We were going to buy the one Winter wanted, and one for Joe...... but the cashier said it was a typo in the ad... it only applied to some cheap older games. There were no disclaimers in the store, and that section of the instore ads were all missing. It will take a REALLY good sale(or giveaway!) for me to ever go there again!

Well gotta go figure out dinner... the males are crabby and hungry!

Have alot to make and list tonight.... so I will post some pics tomorrow!

So Much To Say!

First I wanted to show you this gorgeous locket I won in an etsy forum thread! I just love her work.
Right now Winter is wearing it, and doesn't show any signs of sharing! Check out her shop....

She said it's being sold in a museum right now for $68.00! She is VERY generous with her giveaways!

Winter will have to become more willing to share, as I believe Autumn will want to wear it sometime!

I had a nice lady make a special request for a necklace. It's a bit out of my comfort zone.... but I think it turned out nicely! I believe I will be making more of this type in the future! This necklace sells for $25.00. She also bought a matching bracelet and earrings. I think I will make this necklace for my friend Darlene for Christmas....... She loves jewelry!

I have to get busy and make more bookmarks... they are selling like hot cakes! I have everything ready to go... I just have to clean up my work area!

Oh my goodness.... I looked in Autumns store today, and she had added the cutest Nintendo DS cases... Ninja Turtles, Thunder Cats, and Ghost Busters! What great ideas... I have been promoting them everywhere! Check out her mini etsy store at the bottom of this page!

And lastly, for now, Ash is not taking steps anymore... the boy is walking!!!! He walks right across the room! Nothing is safe anymore!
