What's Her Secret?

Oh I don't know the secret to success. Ok, maybe I do....be consistent. Oh, that reminds me of why I haven't been that successful lately. But, about a month ago, I started a new shop to help pay the bills, combining two of my favorite things. Television and recycling! (ad… Continue

We have been remodeling our master bathroom for a couple of weeks now. We tiled the floor, Eric built a custom cabinet, and we are even going to tackle a concrete counter top! I was going to just paint the walls, but felt that was kind of a lazy finish to all that custom work, especially because… Continue

How's everybody's online sales doing?

After having the best Christmas season online ever in all the years I've sold online, I actually thought the economic situation wasn't going to affect me so much. Boy was I wrong. Around mid-April sales slowed dramatically then nearly stopped completely by end of May. Now I have an average of 1 sale a day. Just wondering how everyone else was doing. Continue

Son back in Emory Univ. Hospital

Morning All, You may have wondered where I've been. Well, I was home for 2 weeks with my son Michael until last Saturday when things got out of control and we drove him back up to Emory. He's still there and we're hoping we can get him home tomorrow. Meantime, We are filling out a lot of forms for a Heart and Liver Transplant. I can't believe this process. It's like applying for a home. I also decided, because the medications after his operations are costly, between $2,000-$3,000 and he will b… Continue

Well, I'm back. Long Hospital Stay

Well, when I posted last I told you all that i was very sick. On June 29, I went into the hospital (that was my birthday too). That same day, Elijah (my son)went to the dr - he had a ruptured eardrum. My mom was still recovering from pnuemonia. I spent the next 15 days at one hospital being stabilized. Then I was transferred to another hospital 2 hours from home and had surgery (that stay was a week). So a total of 22 days - 6/29 - 7/21. The crohn's flare had gotten way out of hand and my larg… Continue

I have a large box FULL of polymer clay supplies that I would like to sell for $100.

It contains: Polymer Clay Oven Polymer Clay Pasta Machine Lots of tools including molds, shape cutters, scraping cutting tools, rolling bars, textures, cutting mat, etc. About 10 pounds of clay in various colors. Clay is over one year ol… Continue
