Have you ever traded on ETSY...!!!

I traded on ETSY.com and am starting to become addicted to it. It was SO MUCH FUN. I was approached by a fellow ETSYer...."SoLovelyCreations" about trading. I took one look at her shop and told her OF COURSE!! She really liked my beanies & headbands! So I ended up trading her a beanie and headband, for a custom made clippie holder! How awesome is that!!!???
She has an amazing shop with adorable items! Look what she made for Isabella's nursery!

If you would like to see her shop her link is: www.solovelycreations.etsy.com
***(She has monthly give aways too if you visit her blog)....Worth checking out! :0)

Here are the items I traded (this ADORABLE BEANIE & HEADBAND):

Oooo I got the cutest new banner for my ETSY shop!!!! I love it!!!!

More & More Snow...has it finally ended...?

We are at day 5 of being stuck in the house! We have about a foot of snow outside. It's been nice being inside the house with the family. I've been busy working on inventory for a show I'm doing in January.

Kaleigh and Daddy made a cute little snow man.....(um..actually it was more Daddy made the snow man, and Kaleigh pointed and shouted orders!)

A snowy crazy day! Tom decided to venture into work today. Well after being suck on 405 in a snow storm...he was SOME HOW convinced by his carpool buddy ... NOT to turn around and go back home. I don't know why he didn't listen! Now his car is stuck in Redmond at the top of a hill in the middle of the street!

Luckily a very nice man at his office w/ a 4wheel drive & chains is giving him a ride home right now. Oh a positive note...Tacoma Public Schools remained open. Yay, I can get more Christmas wrapping done - and work on things for our potential bazaar tomorrow.

My first time blogging......

Okay I'm going to give this whole blogging thing a try! I'm VERY new to this...and in fact I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to do. I have just read it's a good thing to do - especially when trying to promote your business. So...here..goes! :0)
