August Already!

August, august, august... I have mixed feeling about you! 

As the summer break draws to a close I am always sad to let go of the breezy beach days, but eager for the crispness that Autumn brings. I celebrate my birthday at the end of the month which is usually so fun but this year it's a big one.... 30. yikes.  July just flew.. and I was toying with the idea of a Christmas in July sale but somehow the calender flipped when I wasnt looking.. so how about a "hey it's my birth month.. wanna win some goodies?!" giveaway?

Here's what ya gotta do... find at least 2 friends (or more :o)  )  that you just know would love a silly handmade toy and have them check out my ETSY shop, "like" my FB shop page, and click to Follow this blog. Leave a comment on here and/or fb about what your favorite shop item is. I will do a raffle type giveaway (more friends you refer, more times you name goes in the pot) So go, spread the word, pick your favs, and comment to win!


(of course comments, special orders, and feedback is ALWAYS welcome on any page of mine)

:o)

Friiiiiiday

Yet again it's  Friday, is it me or are the weeks just flying by lately? It's like in movies when they show the calender pages just flipping away in the wind... life has been sailing at full speed the past few months.

The girls are settled in to their school routines, we just had class pictures and next week is parent-teacher conferences already.   Jax is of course busy causing chaos and pee stains (potty training a 2 1/2 year old boy is challenging to say the least)    

I am cruising into winter/holiday items for TheBurbs.etsy.com...  so if you need a fun child friendly gift this season just check it out already!!

Snow

Our forecast is calling for the temps to be down in the 40's tomorrow.. as the cold winter creeps in I think of the smell of fireplaces, down coats, hot coffee, and snowy owls. In homage to the impending snowfall....
