Patio Furniture...

My poor neglected blog! :-) It has been awhile my blogger world readers! How are ya? Anyway, I am seeing if I remember how to post and do Etsy shop etc. It is like riding a bike right!? So what to tell ya, well I made a purchase today!!!!! I bought something I had wanted to have for a LONG, LONG time! Patio chairs, 6 to be exact. I bought them from Wegmans our local grocery store, I waited and waited for the price to go down and it finally did, my husband said yesterday that I better get them since thousands of people go through Wegmans each day. I said no there are really a TON left dear. Well, I happend to be back in there today (not for the chairs, really!) (had to buy Miss A. a new thermometer!) so anyway, I notice there are LESS chairs, hmmmm, so I decided to buy 6, I can not wait to add them to my 40.00 glass table that I have on the patio that has no chairs around it!!!! I have to wait until DH comes home from work and can go pick them up with the family truckster! We must eat out! Now if only an umbrella will also go on sale, I already own a base...... I LOVE my new chairs, they are not the cheapy, cheapy kind, can't wait to get them!!!!

A couple weeks ago a we went to the National Museum of Play (Strong Museum) for Dr. Suess' Read Across America Day. A. had her photo taken professionally and posted on a website affliated with the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.....here is the link. Our friend got us in for free too, which was an extra little bonus!

Just thought I'd share. And no the sword doesn't come out but she tried! WE are SO LUCKY to have an AWESOME children's museum so close to us.

Clay Guild

Hey Clay Guild - this is a shout out to all of my guild friends, WNYPCG (Western New York Polymer Clay Guild) - in case you couldn't guess that one! I put some music on my blog JUST FOR YOU FOLKS today! :-) I did a presentation for the Guild today on Blogging, Etsy and Facebook, by no means do I consider myself an expert but I think I sparked their interests. :-)

Breathe...

Hello there faithful blog readers, you've probably noticed that I have been taking a break from blogging. Sometimes life gets in the way :-). Just wanted to touch base and let you know I didn't forget about you.

All for now...

One World One Heart ....

And the winner is..... before I announce who it is, let me just say thank you for all of the nice comments, everyone made about my work. I read all of the 200 plus comments as they all came into my email inbox. It was a bit overwhelming infact. I didn't have a chance to enter as many giveaways as I would of liked. I wish I had tons more to giveaway. I used the Random Number Generator via google and it came up with number 139 http://melindasfabricfancies.blogspot.com/ She doesn't know it yet but she won my earrings! I loved it when I clicked on her profile she has a funny thing on there! I'll make you go look, very funny though!!! I had to count 139 people down in my comments list because I didn't realize that my comments are not numbered. Melinda was the closest -so she wins! However if I did get it wrong and someone wants to count it again I'd be happy to give that person something as well. I just didn't feel like counting to 139 again.

Craigslist....

I've decided to sell some of my excess scrapbook supplies on Craigslist in an effort to pare down my collection of crafty goodness in my craft room, thereby hopefully making a more organized chaos in that craft room :-) For my local friends, everything is marked about 50 percent off and I already have one interested person....

Those are a few of my listings for now. I hope to add more. One of the things I am looking to sell but haven't listed yet is a die cutting machine. It is the Wizard die cutting machine.

New in Shop

New in my Etsy Shop.....
I have one pair of the cobalt blue earrings - I only have two pair available and one is being given away for free in my OWOH giveaway. So this is the only pair I have left.
I have three pairs of the purply ones. I am offering them both at a VERY reasonable price of only $4.00 plus shipping. As a matter of fact I am considering having a sale in my Etsy shop soon. Stay tuned, it will be a 4.00 sale and that is the only hint I will give. Check back soon my dear blogger friends because you will be the first to know about it.

Redeemed...

DD redeemed herself 110%. At the exact moment I gave birth to her she decided to cuddle with me, hug me and lay her head on my shoulder for a good few minutes. And she decided she still likes pink, so the princess party is a GO.

Pink or not so pink...

On the eve of her fourth birthday my dear daughter wakes up in the morning and proudly announces that she no longer likes pink or princesses! Guess what type of party I am having for her and guess what color theme it is! Yup you guessed right pink and princesses. I did inform her that she will still be having this type of party. Anyhow.......I do want to share with you what I bought from Etsy for her princess party favors. She is having a very small party so I was able to get a few extra goodies. I bought the soap below from Arizona Soapworks on Etsy.

The favor bags, they are so cool, they are made of cloth and have strings that you pull and my daughter loves opening and closing them. I only ordered princesses ones plus a tinker bell one, the shop owner was so nice to mix and match for me. Her shop name is Samyol2000.

One World One Heart Giveaway...

For the second year in a row, I am participating in an online event with other bloggers called the One World-One Heart blog giveaway.

They have hearts for Valentines Day too. In order to win my earrings you need to leave a comment on THIS post only. I need to be able to contact all of the people that leave me a comment because you will all be entered to win the earrings. The drawing will be held on Feburary 12th.
