Last Few Days

The last few days since I blogged have been busy. Sales at my Etsy shop shot up and I am sure it is because of the blog I was featured in. I am humbled and also proud to know that there are other like me who enjoy the type of jewelry I create and the supplies I sell. I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to read this little blog and taken a look at my store. I had dreams of being a businesswoman when I was young and now that dream is coming true.



We had a good Labor Day weekend. We mainly spent it at home, relaxing and playing with the boys. Matthew was with his mom this weekend and he was at the lake. On Sunday we took Dillon and Colton to the the Kansas City Irish Fest to see the The Elders play. For those who don't know who The Elders are, they are an Irish/Celtic Rock band and are truly superb. They put on a great show every time we see them and Sunday was no exception. However, we left early because there were just too many drunk people there with little regard for children (yes this was a family event) and I don't think we will be going back again anytime again. We will be attending the Weston Irish Fest in Weston, Missouri in October, but it is a much smaller event and The Elders will be playing during the day. Monday we spent the day at home playing with the boys and watching the first season of 24 on DVD. I never really watched in the past, but being the night owl I am, often catch episodes at night. I decided it was time to start from the beginning and funny enough even my husband likes it.

I am anxiously awaiting the mail these days. I have participated in two swaps (my very first ones!) and can't wait to see what the mail-lady brings. In my excitement of mailing out my two packages last week, I completely forgot to take pictures of what I had made for the swaps. Duh!

The next few months are sure to be exciting! I am a Democrat and I spent last week watching the DNC. I am excited about the Obama/Biden ticket and on Friday I went to the local Obama headquarters to sign up to volunteer. So over the next few months I will be doing this as well. That is all I really plan on saying about this, as I never intended on using this blog as a forum for my political beliefs.



I have been busy making Halloween decorations to put around the house. Halloween is a favorite holiday on mine and the boys. We love decorating the house, inside and out and spend a lot of time picking just the right costume. Sometimes I make them and other times we buy. If I can get them to decide soon enough, I will have time to make them their costumes. Fingers crossed!
