Halloween Pumpkin 2011

Every year we try to come up with something fun and scary at the same time for our pumpkins. This year I came up with this:

I need to scrape out a bit more of the small pumpkin so more light shines through, but otherwise I think it's pretty neat.

Anyone else carving pumpkins?

Foodie Friday - Pork Roast

This week I bring you my recipe for pork roast. I started cooking it several years ago (5 or so at least) and I'm not quite sure how I came up with it. I think I was attempting to come up with some sort of BBQ sauce to go with the pork roast to make it BBQ pork sandwich style, but that kind of flopped and I ended up with this instead.

Also, I was going to take a picture of how it turned out all nice on a plate and stuff, but we were so hungry I don't think it lasted 2 minutes just sitting there.

Happy Birthday Week to Me!

In honor of my 29th birthday (and no, I'm not just saying I'm 29, I really will be 29) this week, I am offering up 29 cent shipping for all US orders (includes custom orders placed this week even if they aren't ready to ship this week)! There is no special coupon necessary to take advantage of this great deal as all listings have been adjusted already to reflect 29 cent shipping.

What do I have to offer?

I am the face...

October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss awareness day. 1/4 women suffer a miscarriage or loss, and yet we suffer it alone because it is a "taboo" to discuss these things. My goal is to break that taboo, and I hope that by talking about my angel babies, that I will inspire someone else who is in pain to come out and talk about their losses as well. I remember my babies today and everyday. ♥ Hugs to everyone who has lost their babies before getting to meet them, or those that are gone too soon.

October is for more than just breast cancer

October has always been a special month for me since I was born in October, 1982. Now that I'm older, wiser (hopefully) and have had more worldly experiences, October has taken on an additional, equally special, meaning.

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month and will forever hold a special place in my heart as such.

Etsy Uncovered - Halloween

You'll notice a slight change in the title of this post compared to Etsy related findings posts in the past. I didn't want to be confused with the e-mail Etsy sends out called "Etsy Finds" and I wanted to make these posts a bit more themed. They will still feature shops who have yet to have a sale as of when I write things up, but the items featured will fit into a theme. Today's theme is Halloween!

Halloween will be here shortly and many people I know are just starting to break out the decorations and are thinking about their costumes. Now would be a good time to snap up any of these findings if you'd like to receive them before the holiday.
