Manic Monday

I had one of the most amazing weekends I have had in a while. What made it so amazing you might wonder. The answer is simple: my sister and I went to visit one of my very best friends!

It's beginning to look a lot like...Fall?

Yep! The weather is getting cooler and it's so nice to fall asleep at night with a little chill in the air. I remember a few months ago when this 70something weather would have been a heat wave, but now it's a nice bit of a cool down.

Foodie Friday

I was all excited to write this week's Foodie Friday because it's about a ton of very yummy but very bad for you food that I will be eating this weekend. I was originally going to grab some pics from around the Internet to show what I would be eating, but I think it will be much better to have pics of what I actually DO eat.

That said, Foodie Friday will be moved to Monday.

Etsy Re-opening!

It's re-opening day for my Etsy store!

I've been putting quite a bit of time and energy into getting new products made and ready to be bought. My focus is going to be mostly on paper crafting things - scrapbook embellishments, cards, etc. - since that seems to be what brings me the most joy in creating.
