Ta-dah!

Please do NOT feel like you have to buy anything just because I am telling you this: I have an Etsy shop! I’ve been planning to open one eventually, maybe for selling crocheted pumpkin bags. I was nudged into doing so tonight because SAJ talked me into participating in Neilochka’s First Annual Blogger Holiday Online Arts and Crafts Fair* this weekend, and it was just easier this way.
My Etsy shop isn’t very exciting at the moment, since there is only one thing for sale there. But it’s a fun thing:
Gumball magnets!
Who knows if I will actually sell anything. But the shop is open, and I will be adding more items by and by.
I know you all are waiting with bated breath to hear about the rest of our visit in Omaha, including the wedding. And of course you are dying to see photos, right? Well, I’m sorry but you’re gonna have to wait a little longer. I am tired and have to get up early in the morning. And this weekend is my friend Jill’s 40th birthday bash, so we’re going to be busy partying, and taking more photos, so I can get even further behind. Sometimes I think maybe it would be smarter to just skip ahead and pick up right where we are now.
I will at least tell you about the time a couple of weeks ago when Annalie was watching Wonder Pets, and she recognized the melody of Johann Strauss’s Blue Danube waltz. She turned to me and said, “Hey, they sing this song at the Glass Slipper Ball on Little Einsteins! How funny is that?”
Happy weekend, ya’ll!
*Neilochka’s site, Citizen of the Month, is not exactly a family-friendly site. He’s a great writer, smart, very funny, but…it’s not G-rated. Consider yourselves duly warned. :-)

Perhaps you should make a crocheted, lined, purse for your etsy shop. I’m just sayin’…
Your Gumball magnets look better than my Gumball magnets did.

Yay for you! I’m excited for you :)

Thanks for mentioning this. I jumped on board, too.

Cool! Hope you sell a bunch.
It must be an arts and crafts sort of weekend. I’m selling my photos–for the first time–at a craft sale in Chicago!

Too funny…I make magnets like those (except not with gumball) where I learned via Not Martha also! How crazy! What kind of glue do you use? I use a weird product but always looking for something better. :)
I use something I got at JoAnn called Aleene’s Platinum Bond Glass & Bead. It works a treat, doesn’t smell, and if it gets on my fingers I just have to rub it off.

Yay for your Etsy shop! And I love the idea of the online blogger craft fair, I wish I had known I could have joined in. There is always next year. I also love the gumball magnets, I am making magnets for Christmas, but not of the gumball variety. Yet.
