19th August

The boys have settled back into school now, Thomas, my eldest, started middle school......oh my. He`s still quite immature for his age but I know by the time he finishes 8th grade it will be a different story!
Now I will get hard at work on my ebay store and dream of our cruise in October......Ahhhh!
For all of you out there who have a cricut machine I found a good website with cheap cartridges,, a lot only $18.00 and very reasonable shipping...$3.95. It is called CricutMachine.com, they also sell on ebay but sometimes they go for more than what they are at the website.
I`m starting to think about Christmas.......lots of ideas. A friend will be working with me on Christmas items, she is very creative but has a different style to me... more earthy. She sells on ebay too, her user name is Belbaze, check out her stuff!

August 5th 2010

With the summer vacation almost over we are busy getting ready for back to school..............my eldest starts middle school! WOW! Where did the years go?
I have been busy making bags, tags and other items for my ebay store ~ its steadily increasing in sales and I am still enjoying everything about it............especially designing new items. I have been bugging my husband for a studio building at the back of the house but he is not very receptive to that right now..............maybe one day!
We got to do a little antiquing yesterday as we had to make a trip to Augusta for my sons doctors appt. I bought some old wooden spools to display my ribbons on and some vintage silverplate knives, forks and spoons with pretty detailing...............these are just one of the many things I collect.

I took my new Vera Bradley Raspberry Fizz pocket book along with me that I picked up at the thrift store on Monday for............wait for it..................27 cents.........yes, 27 cents.......don`t you just love it when you find a bargain!?
