ETSY LOVE: CindyMars7

I'm pretty sure I discovered this etsy shop from an advertisement on one of the many blogs I read, I fell in love with the handbags immediately! They are gorgeous and look really well made and are reasonably priced. I'm definitely going to purchase one of these bags someday =) The only problem is deciding which one!!

Here's some of my favorites:

 Paisley Dream Hobo

-

Kim Hobo/ Spring

Jacinda Hobo - Currently the bag I am leaning towards, mainly for the neutral colors.

CindyMars7 offers many different sizes of handbags and also a few other goodies like scarves, skirts and even hair accessories. I encourage you to visit her shop and check out all she has to offer.. maybe you'll fall in love like I did =)

Support Push For Pita

I don't know if you have ever visited the Run With Scissors blog ( I've had it bookmarked for a long time!!), the blog owner is currently raising money to cover adoption fees so that her and her significant other will be able to begin the process of adopting a baby!! They are hoping to have all the necessary money raised by the end of February and there are many, many ways that you can help. You can purchase an item from her etsy shop (lots of people have donated items just for this, and 100% of the profits from the sale of the items will go for this cause), you can sign-up and participate in an online journal class,  or you can just plain donate a few dollars to her through paypal. For details and more information, click to visit her blog!

Thanks for reading! =)

Wasted Days.

You know when you have a day off, and you end up sleeping until the afternoon? Perhaps even Evening??? Well, that's a wasted day. I've been having quite a few of those lately. I stay up way too late, horrible internet addictions.

So, I was thinking... some people must really make a TON of money by selling things on etsy, huh? I kinda wish I was one of those people, hehe. I don't really make anything right now though, so it's a little out of the question. I want to make things though, I really do. I need a craft area first? Perhaps not, but at least a little space to be crafty.

I haven't been getting many hours at work, I've been thinking about doing a little babysitting or something to make a little money. The classifieds had 2 separate help wanted ads this week about needing a babysitter /or help in a day care. It was really calling my name, but I'm ignoring it for the moment. I have an out of town trip planned for next month, so I can wait until afterwards. People always need babysitters, I'm not looking for anything permanent before then!

I'm watching the Olympics right now, I've actually watched it more this year than uhmm i ever have in my life...... seriously. Have you been watching??
