September is here...almost Halloween



As I am told daily - Halloween is almost here. According to my daughter Halloween should be as big or bigger than Christmas. I spend almost as much on candy each year as I do on Christmas so I figure it's almost what she's wishing it were. We live in a development that fringes agriculteral land, and truckloads for farm kids come by each year and it lasts for 4 hours and I always run out of candy. I may conplain but I love it. Some towns and cities don't have that kind of neighborhood traffic anymore which I find so sad. Another thing from my and my children's childhood that is disappearing.

I am really getting into Etsy and my journals. Never being a marketing genious has proven the difficult part of all of it. How to get the word out and spread it coast to coast is hard. There are so many great things to see on Etsy that the down side is you get lost in the shuffle.

I'm getting better at doing digital papers. It's still takes me time to narrow down what I want to use and what it should look like, but the actual task is faster than I thought it ever would be.

My daughter is coming to town from Seattle to celebrate her birthday this weekend. (The BIG 30) We always do the CKC Show in Sept. and that and a group night at Recollections (crop night) headlines our list of to-do's this weekend. She coming alone for the first time since becoming a mother about a year ago, and I can't wait to see how things go back at her home with Daddy in charge for 3 days with an 11 month old.That will be a full blog unto itself I bet.

Anyway, we plan on cropping, shopping and eating our way from one side of town to the other. I can't wait.

Thanks for checking in!
