Lately I:

Opened my etsy store.

Built a website that didn’t work.

Built it again.

Gained weight (see above).

Joined the YMCA (see above).

Boycotted Halloween.

Keep forgetting important passwords.


I have been pouring many hours into getting the business where it needs to be.  The etsy store is open but it is just the bare bones for now.  If you have any questions or want any special orders for Christmas, just email me.
We have a table at the Yuletide Market Nov. 12&13th and after that will have a table in a store in the mall. It has been a huge push for me to have everything ready (you have no idea).  I hope it is a successful season.  I also hope to get back to visiting your blogs on a more regular basis in a few weeks.  Thanks for your understanding.

I don't know how you do it all -- you are a woman on a mission. ;)

I will definitely check out your etsy story. I've thought about opening one (for what, I don't know,) so maybe yours will inspire me.

PS -- we didn't get any snow yesterday. Hardly any rain either.
