dear blog,

It's been one month since my last entry. don't be mad. I'd like to say it's because I've been busy, but not really. I've been ignoring you. We unplugged, you know, and although I did not include you in the official "unplugging", things just worked out that you were horribly and sadly left in the dusty corner of all things put aside. You were in good company...waiting patiently with American Idol and Emily Henderson. You have valiantly sacrificed your hunger for domestic attention in order to reconnect a family in need. Thank you, dear blog.

Here, I'll feed you with a few project pictures. yummy:

Ignorance no longer, poor, sad, blog.

there, there. it's all over.

I'm here.

i opened a shop.

I've been wanting to for a while, but I've been chicken I guess. I've needed a place to sell all this stuff I make, and Etsy was the logical choice, but I've been dragging my feet. I wanted to wait until I had a good stock of stuff, and a really good business plan, and a good unique product, and good marketing, and good packaging, and lots of time to spend on it.

things just don't happen that way in my world.

So I jumped in. I took pictures of the stuff I had, and just did it. It was hard! Wondering how to word things, how to describe the item, is it not enough info?, too much?, what the whooey do I say about myself on that profile page?, yadda yadda. A lot to take in.

I did decide on free shipping ($4 to Canada. Sorry fellow Canucks.). Because I like free shipping. And I decided to keep it really simple. Nothing fancy. I like that.

I'll just post different things when I can, and see what catches on, and just go with it right?.

So check it out, and tell me what you think. What would you like me to put in there, what should I change, what should you do with your hidden stash of Halloween candy in the cupboard? eat it.

I have a few more ideas of things I'd really like to get in there by next week before Christmas (including but not limited to some dolls and more bags and an apron or two), but that all depends totally on how much fun we have here at home and how much I can get done. Which may not be much because we just signed up for Netflix instant streaming through our Wii and we can't stop watching PeeWee Herman's Great Adventure and Garfield and the Secret of Kells and all the chick flicks I've missed. awesome.

Be sure to order if you wanna by DECEMBER 17TH in order to get it by Christmas.
