Etsy

I am growing to love Etsy even more each day! Today I have been working on checking out the forums! I have also been experimenting with Google Wave, which I love already! Thats all for now, have to go to bed! Bye!

Black Friday

On Friday at JoAnns, I got some great deals! I got a pattern for purses for $.99, and some fabric to make one of them! I got a yard of a dark teal fabric for the body and two yellow leaf fat quarters for the accents. I can't wait to make it! I'll post pictures when it's finished!

Long Time No Post!

Hey! Long time no post! I can't wait for black Friday to see if I have time to go to JoAnn's! They're having some great sales! Bye!

Cloud Nine

We were recently in the Outer Banks, NC on vacation. I found an awesome little bead shop there! You can buy beads or sit at their counter, make your creation, and then pay for it! And the employees are so nice and welcoming! So, if you live in North Carolina or are going there for one reason or another, and you like beading and jewelery making, you should definately stop by! The shop is part of the Pirates Quay Shoppes on Mile Post 11, and the phone number is 252-441-2992. 'Till later, bye!
