etsy fun

1.28.2011
Don't you just love loggin' on to the home page of ETSY? You type those 4 little letters into your google browser....wait for it to load....click.....anticipation for a second, some of us longer than others and then wham...there it is! You are greeted with the home page 12. Instant eye candy! And it rotates a few different times a day.

The title for this post was actually going to be Fun Job Friday, where I was going to talk about what a fun job it would be to be the front page picker for etsy and then share a few quips about the training for such a job..etc, etc, etc. Welllllll.....although I am too busy to organize the office and pick up the play area.....apparently, I managed to find time to research this highly important matter. And good thing! Because I may have just found your new part time hobby. Yup, that's right.....click here and find out how you can be the etsy picker too!

Hope you all have a good weekend and do something FUN! We will be finishing up a play kitchen we are making for Lola's 2nd birthday.

twenty-eleven.....bling it on

1.12.2011
I'm so excited about the new year and all the possibilites. Kind of like these sparkles sitting by my desk waiting to be made into something pretty.

So here's my to do list for 2011: (in no particular order of importance)

* Lose weight. (This one never makes it off the list.)
* Try a new hair color.
* Read my Bible more (anything would be an improvement on last year).
* Visit Disneyland.
* Post a minimum of 2-3 blog posts per week.
* Accomplish a project everyday. (Could be a craft, sewing something, organizing the laundry room, cooking a new recipe...etc.) By the end of the year, I should have a clean organized house, lot's of cool handmade stuff and a recipe repetoire not limited to tacos, spaghetti, lasagna and chicken.

So, has anyone been keeping their resolutions so far? I'd love to hear how it's going!

footprints

8.26.2010
When looking through our beach photo's, I came across this one which reminded me of my favorite poem.

Footprints in the Sand

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only.

This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord,
“You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”

The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”


Such a beautiful inspiring poem to end our week. It's not hard to see why it's a classic.

Hope you all have a blissful weekend! Happy Friday!
