Confession....

I confess....

The 2 weeks prior to this one were 2 of the most insanely busy and high-pressure weeks I have had in as long as I can remember.

I confess...

Making it through was such a huge relief that this week I have been a total slacker.  Seriously no motivation to do anything (including blog - so sorry).

I confess...

I can't imagine making it successfully through, and with my sanity intact if it weren't for the new Mind Organization for Mom's program that I have been implementing.  Not even kidding.  Check out my review and your chance to win a copy for yourself here.

I confess...

I participated in a boutique last weekend and it was lame.  I barely made back my booth fee and the gas it took to travel back and forth for set up and tear-down.

I confess...

The fact that I now have a bunch of product made to list on my Etsy site doesn't give me much comfort, due to the fact that I now have to actually photograph and list all that product.

I confess...

If all these confessions are making me sound lazy - it's because I am.

Have anything to confess?  Give it a try here:

Hang in their girlie! believe me I KNOW what your going through. Except I've never done a boutique before. I have tried to do Etsy and haven't sold a dang thing..but photographing and listing can be tough if you don't have a photographer to do it for you or pay them! It's a tough bizz!!

You are doing great and if you have to take a week to be lazy and recoup I'm all for that!! you are doing grand!

Being busy makes the time go by faster. Not that time needs any help speeding by.
Hope you get to enjoy the weekend.

Everyone needs to slow down and relax sometime, at least for a little while!
Sorry the boutique didn't go all that great. Keep trying though!

This time of year is sooooo exausting, isn't it? All I want to do is sleep. I've been working so much that I haven't blogged much either. There just aren't enough hours in the day.

Boooo to such a crazy hectic week but YAY for getting to hear my actual voice on the phone, that was bonus for ya right... RIGHT? LOL. Hope that all your crafty goodies sell quick for you on Etsy, wish I had the moola to buy it all up so you didn't have to take pics & list it all.

So sorry the craft fair was a bust- they just don't do as well now anymore I think. I think with all the DIY people and etsy it has kind of killed craft fairs.

Hand Made for Fall - A party and a Giveaway!

I've been a busy girl! I have been wanting to do a giveaway for Fall, and when my fab friend Heidi revealed that her Monthly Craft Challenge for October would be Fall-themed crafts, I thought "YES! I will do a giveaway of Fall items - handmade by me!" So today I'm linking up with Heidi , and introducing my Handmade For Fall Giveaway as I show you what I've made for Heidi's party ! Sound good? First, a while back I showed you some coasters that I made, but it was clear back when I first started blogging, so I'm going to show you again with this new seasonal set! This idea has been floating around blog land, and I've seen several different variations. Here's how I do it. You will need: paper napkins, 4x4 ceramic tiles, 4x4 cork squares, MOD PODGE (what else?), sponge brushes (not shown), and polyurethane (not shown). Start by cutting your napkin down to a manageable size, slightly bigger than your tile. Next spread a layer of mod podg onto the t...
