The Fun Shop Is Up and Running (click here to see it)

Anna, my 8 year old daughter, has started crafting. She has recently learned to crochet and has made some little things. She has posted them on my Etsy shop under The Fun Shop section. You can click on the title to see her items. She sure has had fun making them and is making other types of crafts too for her shop. My little entrepreneur. ;) If anyone has special requests for things she might could make, let me know. She is enjoying her little shop.

Here is a pic of Bo, our 9 month old rescue. I am thinking he is part redbone coon hound and lab. Who knows for sure though. He is just cute. Lots of work too. He is completely untrained but, he wants to please. He just loves to be loved. Ok, somehow I ended up with Bo's pic up top. But, there he is. :)

My Little Kitty

I have had my kitty, Grasshopper for about 18 years. She has seen me through so much in my life. I love her so very much. Yesterday, she died. I believe she had a heart attack after being grabbed by our new rescue pup, 9 months old.

We are still keeping Bo, our new guy. He is a sweetheart. He is completely untrained but, he wants to please. We have a long road ahead of us with Bo. He is most certainly worth the effort.

I am, missing Grasshopper so much. Yesterday was my full day of tears. I am a little better today. It just doesn't seem real somehow. I am so thankful to know that God takes care of His critters. I miss you, Grasshopper.

I Finallly Did It! Etsy Here I Come! (click on this title to go to the shop)

Hi and Howdy! I finally opened an Etsy shop. As you know, I have been trying to find ways to help bring in some money to help my family out finanacially. Things are tight and with my little one getting ready to test for her black belt, Tae Kwon Do is getting costly. (Quite worth it) So, my hands have finally eased up on the RA and I have been able to start crocheting again. I heard about Etsy and opened up a shop. So far I have had two sales! I am excited. Every little bit helps. I have met a wonderful lady who has helped me quite a bit with Etsy. Her shop is ttlgdesigns, http://www.etsy.com/shop/ttlgdesigns. She has some really pretty jewelry.

My daughter, 8 years old, has started to learn to crochet. She is making little items to put on her Etsy section. We haven't gotten it on there yet. Hopefully we will tonight. I am thinking of calling it Fun Shop. She is so much fun and her little things are cute. Half of her money will go to Tae Kwon Do, to raise money for testing costs, and the other half is hers to keep. I am so proud of her. She has really been trying to raise money and be apart of all of her Tae Kwon Do experience. She is an awesome little girl. Proud Mommy Moment! ;)

I hope everyone is having an awesome day. May God bless you. :)

Happy 4th of July

Hi and howdy! I hope everyone is having an awesome 4th of July. We are now 234 years old as a country. A big huge thank you to all who have fought, continue to fight, and protect our freedom. I can never thank those who serve in the military enough. May God bless you.

We had a great time at a fair yesterday. We even got to see a tiger cub, Sasha. Look at those big paws! Too cute! My daughter fed the cub and held a huge python. It was great! The fireworks were incredible. We even ended up buying two hermit crabs at the fair. I am such a sucker for critters.

Happy 4th of July!!!!
