Boo hoo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;So, I decided to run the biggest sale &lt;strong&gt;ever&lt;/strong&gt; in my Etsy and Bonanza shops! Use coupon code "GASKET33" for a whopping 33% off your order!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.designsbymisschris.etsy.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;www.designsbymisschris.etsy.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.bonanza.com/designsbymisschris"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;www.bonanza.com/designsbymisschris&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Don't delay, the coupon expires this Sunday,&amp;nbsp;12/12/10.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;And needless to say, I think I'll go back to my old way of celebrating my birthday. One blown head gasket is more than enough!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;Thank you,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Why not try&amp;nbsp;making purses out of vintage wool skirts? They're already lined, and since I'm rather lazy when it comes to sewing, that was a bonus for me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;So I felted some skirts, cut and sewed them - and here are the results! They have pockets on the sides, perfect for your keys, cell phone, or anything you need easy access to. The flower decorations are actually brooches you can take off and wear by themselves, if you so desire.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Today I ventured into a new realm: art with plastic bags!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It has 18 curly petals, and a big gold button in the middle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;I think it would look great on the lapel of a coat or jacket. What do y'all think?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Recently I won a bid to make a pumpkin washcloth for a customer's son. I created the pattern and completed the pumpkin fairly easily.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;She was so happy with it that she asked if I could make some other holiday washcloths too! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I ended up creating patterns for a snowman and snowflake without too much difficulty. The snowflake is a modified version of a lace ornament. I adapted it, enlarged it, and put it on a wintery blue hexagon.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

I thought about it and thought about it, and when I sat down with my crochet hook this morning it turned out really cute on the first try. Gotta love it when something in my head comes&amp;nbsp;out my hands exactly the way I imagined it! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Yesterday was International Friendship Day - the perfect day to start the EtsyFriends Team's latest promotion! It's called the "Back to School with Friends" sale, and it runs for the month of August.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;Lots of shops are participating, with all sorts of items.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;You can find them by searching for the tag "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #783f04;"&gt;b2sfriends&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;"&amp;nbsp;on &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/"&gt;http://www.etsy.com/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;or here is a link to the team's blog:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://efpromotions.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://efpromotions.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: #783f04;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I set up a special back2school SALE category in my shop, where everything is already priced 25% OFF!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; No coupon code needed, and no minimum purchase required. You'll find a little bit of everything! &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/designsbymisschris?section_id=7164577"&gt;http://www.etsy.com/shop/designsbymisschris?section_id=7164577&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;Don't forget to smile, and be thankful for your friends!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Well, she asked if I could make a wallet to match, and of course I said yes!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I was cruising through the custom requests on Etsy last week, and one for a gemstone necklace caught my eye.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;I put in a bid, and it was accepted! After emailing pictures and&amp;nbsp;rearranging the stones&amp;nbsp;as needed, this necklace is the final result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6DdE7jdoc-Y/TDy0hLd2QfI/AAAAAAAAAIo/TG_hpwfyvxU/s1600/alchemy+healing+necklace+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" rw="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6DdE7jdoc-Y/TDy0hLd2QfI/AAAAAAAAAIo/TG_hpwfyvxU/s200/alchemy+healing+necklace+002.JPG" width="150" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;The necklace contains&amp;nbsp;an array of gemstones: Amethyst, Quartz, Garnet, Bloodstone, Smokey Quartz, Carnelian, Amber, and Magnetic Hematite.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;I also made a matching 2 inch extender, to make the necklace more versatile. She wants to be able to&amp;nbsp;wear it everyday! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;I crocheted it with Stitch Nation "Full o' Sheep" 100% Peruvian wool yarn. The purple color is called "plummy" - how perfect is that? I added the green trim as an accent, and then felted the purse in the washing machine. It's the first time I've used that brand of yarn, and it felted well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Well, I did it! I made a washrag every day for the past two weeks. I'm going to make one more, and then ship all 15 down to the Gulf Coast to clean up wildlife impacted by the oil spill.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;Reaching my goal is satisfying, and I know the washrags are for a&amp;nbsp;worthy cause. Plus, it was a great way to use up odds and ends of cotton yarn!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Here is a picture of the washrags I made the past&amp;nbsp;four days.&amp;nbsp;In addition to making a washrag a day for Craft Hope's Project 8, I have also decided to run fundraising promotions in two of my online shops.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From now through July 31, 2010, 25% of EVERY sale on &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.designsbymisschris.etsy.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;http://www.designsbymisschris.etsy.com/&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; will be donated to the cleanup effort!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There is also a "Gulf Coast Wildlife Cleanup" section on &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/designsbymisschris"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;www.bonanzle.com/booths/designsbymisschris&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; where 25% of the proceeds will be donated as well.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;See something you like in my booth that isn't in that section? Let me know, and I'll move it over there for you!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;Any of you doing something for the relief effort? I'd love to hear about it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;Yesterday I found out about Craft Hope's Project 8. They are collecting handmade cotton washrags and handtowels to clean dolphins, turtles, and other wildlife that are dirty with spilled oil.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6DdE7jdoc-Y/TBEXhErpgjI/AAAAAAAAAHA/WkHRRB7quaU/s1600/0610100801a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" qu="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6DdE7jdoc-Y/TBEXhErpgjI/AAAAAAAAAHA/WkHRRB7quaU/s320/0610100801a.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;I decided to try to make at least one washrag every day for the next 2 weeks! Here's a picture of yesterday's and today's. (and please excuse the quality of the picture - my camera died last week, so I am forced to use my cell phone instead!) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;Here's the link to Craft Hope's website, in case any of my fellow crafters are interested in participating.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I love having the place to myself!&amp;nbsp;After I got home with piles of&amp;nbsp;clean clothes,&amp;nbsp;I walked to the Post Office, bank, and Central Market. When I got&amp;nbsp;back to my house&amp;nbsp;I planted round two of&amp;nbsp;veggie and herb seeds since the squirrels apparently ate my first planting. Those little buggers! I also built two shelves to store my growing collection of yarn, and discovered my power drill's working days&amp;nbsp;are over. I&amp;nbsp;had to turn those screws by hand!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I had such a busy day, I forgot to tell y'all about something. The EtsyFriends team (of which I am a proud member) is having a Springtime Giveaway. There is a lovely gift basket up for grabs, with over $230 in handmade goodies!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;Click here for details:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Here's what I came up with!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6DdE7jdoc-Y/S7tTX3c0fdI/AAAAAAAAAEg/SF52ycZJS4k/s1600/dish+doodads,+Lou%27s+market+bag+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" nt="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6DdE7jdoc-Y/S7tTX3c0fdI/AAAAAAAAAEg/SF52ycZJS4k/s320/dish+doodads,+Lou%27s+market+bag+001.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;It's made of USA-grown cotton yarn, in stripes of flourescent orange and camo. He's a bow hunter, so I thought the colors would be appropriate for him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;Usually I make one longer strap to carry on your shoulder, but he asked for two short handles because he carries it in his hand. So I altered my pattern just for him! What a lucky guy.&amp;nbsp; :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6DdE7jdoc-Y/S7tUKrvrvkI/AAAAAAAAAEo/mVPISqmuSrg/s1600/dish+doodads,+Lou%27s+market+bag+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" nt="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6DdE7jdoc-Y/S7tUKrvrvkI/AAAAAAAAAEo/mVPISqmuSrg/s200/dish+doodads,+Lou%27s+market+bag+002.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I have several bags in other sizes and colors listed in both my Etsy shop and my booth on Bonanzle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I had my crochet bag with me (like always!) and showed her what I was working on - Plarn Dish Doodads. She loved them, asked if the pattern was my own invention (it is), and&amp;nbsp;then asked&amp;nbsp;if I would be interested in selling the pattern at the store. She also asked if I could supply the store with pre-cut plarn (plastic bags cut into long strips and used instead of yarn), and Dish Doodad Kits. Then, she asked if I would be willing to teach a class!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Of course, I accepted with glee. Now I need to get busy ~ the class is June 19th, but that will be here before I know it. I need to get patterns and kits to her asap,&amp;nbsp;to hopefully generate interest in the class.&amp;nbsp;She is interested in patterns for my Face Scrubbies and other items, too. I'm so excited!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;Here are some pictures of Dish Doodads, Pot Scrubbers, and Dishrags that I've made recently.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I have been MIA for quite a while, but now I'm back! Was in a car accident in the middle of December, not my fault fortunately, but it caused an old shoulder injury to flare up. I have been unable to make jewelry, because my right hand is numb - but I've been crocheting like crazy!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Just added a new item to my Etsy and Bonanzle shops - felted wallet coin purses! Here are some pics, let me know what you think!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It was a perfect, glorious, sun-shiney day - couldn't have asked for better weather to sit outside and do what I love.&amp;nbsp; :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;The show was part of an all-day music festival at a winery on top of a hill. This was the&amp;nbsp;view out the back of&amp;nbsp;my tent!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6DdE7jdoc-Y/Srueztp5g1I/AAAAAAAAACQ/qB9V9ByPuns/s1600-h/09.15-09.20.09+032.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" iq="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6DdE7jdoc-Y/Srueztp5g1I/AAAAAAAAACQ/qB9V9ByPuns/s320/09.15-09.20.09+032.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;All set up and ready for action!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I tied my clearance scarves to the tent - they looked so pretty fluttering in the breeze! Also, they were&amp;nbsp;more touchable, which I'm sure contributed to their brisk sales.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Here is my pile o' face scrubbies - don't you just want to squeeze them? So cute.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It was so fun watching people find the perfect bracelets, for themselves or as gifts. I will definitely be trying this approach again!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;WOW!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;I'm up bright and early this morning, because I'm getting ready to go to the Stewartstown Music and Arts Festival today. It's the first show I've been able to be a part of in almost a year, due to my crazy retail work schedule. I am excited, and ready for action!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;I'm trying a new technique this time. I made 159 stretchy bracelets, all different, and 70 face scrubbies. I'm going to just dump them&amp;nbsp;into two piles on&amp;nbsp;my table for people to dig through. Hopefully, people will feel compelled to search for hidden treasures! Also made a handful of cell phone charms&amp;nbsp;(well, 26 to be exact), and 84 magnets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;I'll be sure to upload some pictures when I get home. Wish me luck!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;Have a great day, and don't forget to smile!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Hi there! I finally got around to listing some new items on Etsy and Bonanzle - sets of three re-usable face scrubbies that gently exfoliate without irritating sensitive skin. They are perfect for removing that pesky eye makeup - no more dark smudges on your towels! The scrubbies are made of 100% USA grown cotton, and are machine washable and dryable. They are made to order in a pet-free, smoke-free home, and measure approx. 3 inches across. Here are links to the "hooked" category in both shops:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5835409&amp;amp;section_id=6402769"&gt;http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5835409&amp;amp;section_id=6402769&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;...and...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/designsbymisschris?item_sort_options%5Bcustom_category_id%5D=98930&amp;amp;item_sort_options%5Bcustom_category_term%5D=hooked&amp;amp;item_sort_options%5Bper_page%5D=48"&gt;http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/designsbymisschris?item_sort_options%5Bcustom_category_id%5D=98930&amp;amp;item_sort_options%5Bcustom_category_term%5D=hooked&amp;amp;item_sort_options%5Bper_page%5D=48&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Wow that was a long one!  ;)
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Be sure to check back for more colors, coming soon.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Don't forget to smile, and have a great day!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;~ miss chris&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3295367795082208206-4397855419803047853?l=designsbymisschris.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://designsbymisschris.blogspot.com/feeds/4397855419803047853/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://designsbymisschris.blogspot.com/2009/09/new-item-reusable-face-scrubbies-with.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3295367795082208206/posts/default/4397855419803047853'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3295367795082208206/posts/default/4397855419803047853'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://designsbymisschris.blogspot.com/2009/09/new-item-reusable-face-scrubbies-with.html' title='NEW ITEM!

I am a huge fan of country music. However, I don't care much for Kenny Chesney. Never have, thought I never would. Don't know why, particularly - except that all his songs seem the same to me. Every time one of his songs comes on the radio in my car, I change the channel and if I hop back over and he's still singing, I think to myself "gee, isn't that song over yet??"

I'm also not crazy about Dave Matthews' stuff for the past handful of years. "Crash" was a classic, of course, but nothing since then has really grabbed me.

However, TOGETHER - they are brilliant! Love their song "I'm Alive" so much, I was forced to SongID it with my Verizon Wireless phone, and immediately purchase it over the air. Every time I hear THAT song, at the end I think to myself "gee, is that song over already??" Now I can listen to it whenever I want!  :)

It's nice to hear Kenny sing about something other than drinking and partying and such. Not that I have a problem with either of those activities, in moderation of course.  ;)

Don't forget to smile, and have a great day!

The mall is pretty busy right now, but I have a minute without customers, so I thought I'd hop on here.

Slowly but surely, I'm figuring out this whole blogging thing. Any advice or input would be appreciated! Y'all are pros at this.  :)

Hope everyone has a great evening, and is ready for another week! I can't believe it's almost September already. Where has this year gone??
