Being a crocheter it is REALLY annoying to be making something with a certain color of yarn only to find out that color has become discontinued. Fortunately one time when this happened I was thankfully able to find it on eBay and was able to finish my project.
A few other yarn colors that I use have been discontinued too. These were not colors that I really HAD to have though, but they were colors I wanted to be able to keep making my items with so I again found them on eBay and stocked up. Of course, by buying on eBay I had to pay more which wasn't what I wanted but what I did want was the colors, so I paid the price. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to find them in the future so when what I have is gone, there will be no more.
I'm guessing that a company stops making certain colors because they don't feel "enough" people are buying them in order for them to make a profit.
Problem with this idea, which I understand by the way, is that even though "enough" people aren't buying a color, there are SOME that do. Apparently I seem to pick the colors that aren't quite as popular. Just my luck!

Daddy's Phone
Last night my son looked at the arm of the couch and said, "Whoa, what's that?"
I told him it was daddy's phone.
He then clarified for me what it really was.
I believe his words to me were, "No, it's daddy's IPhone."
I stood corrected! It was not just daddy's phone but was indeed daddy's IPhone.
Crazy that a 3 year old knows the specific technical names for things like this!

Green Beans
I like green beans whether they are cooked by themselves, cooked in stew or soup, or baked in a casserole especially green bean casserole. Oh so yummy!
My favorite way to eat green beans though is by far my grandparents' home grown and home canned green beans. Grandma is just simply the best when it comes to making her green beans. She starts with her own home grown ones, adds a tad bit of sugar, some bacon grease, and voila, you have the best green beans in town! At least in my opinion you do! We have purchased canned green beans from the store and tried to make them at home but they just NEVER turn out as good as grandmas'!
For years my grandparents planted rows and rows of green beans in their garden among other vegetables. They then picked them, snapped them, and canned them. I remember helping with the process. It was fun!
Unfortunately because they are getting up there in age, there will be no more home grown green beans from their garden. They are just unable to tend to a garden anymore especially when they have to bend over so far to pick something like green beans.
Well, since they aren't planting green beans anymore that means that as soon as all the current jars of green beans they have canned are gone, then so are the delicious green beans that grandma cooks. I don't know how many jars they have left but I think they may be running low on them. I think grandma and grandpa really enjoy them too because now they don't share anymore. We used to get jars of green beans in our Christmas goodie bags but now we don't. They are keeping them all to themselves now! I can't say that I blame them though. They are DELICIOUS!
We are still fortunate enough to get to enjoy them at family gatherings for now and my family usually eats supper once a week with grandma and grandpa so sometimes we have them then as well.
This year I'm hoping to either plant a garden of my own with green beans in it or I'm going to purchase fresh green beans from the store. I'm then going over to my grandparent's house for a "canning lesson" so that we can keep having home grown canned green beans. Obviously they won't be grandma and grandpas' home grown canned green beans but maybe they'll be close!

Do You Recycle?
It is really crazy how much trash is thrown out each day. What is even more crazy is how much of that trash that is actually recyclable.
Our household was very much guilty of throwing everything out whether we could recycle it or not. The only thing we saved back from the trash were aluminum cans. Of course the reason for that being, they pay you to recycle these so we save them and then put the money in our kids' piggie banks.
The city where we live in doesn't MAKE you recycle like some of the other surrounding cities but does offer a couple of recycling centers that you can take things to. Of course, we were too lazy to do so. It is just much easier to throw it away in the bag in the trashcan right there in the kitchen, put that bag in the trashcan right there next to the house, and then roll that trashcan right out to the curb once a week.
Well, we have since began recycling. We stopped taking the easy way out to get rid of our trash. It is TRULY unbelievable how much we were throwing away that was recyclable. I think we literally went from having between 4 to 5 bags of trash a week to now only having one or two.
If just OUR household cut back on what we were throwing out, can you imagine how much less trash would be going into our landfills if EVERY household who doesn't already, began to recycle. I'm guessing that A LOT of people throw out A LOT of recyclable items.
Sooooo........do you recycle?

Gray Hair
So what REALLY causes gray hair?
The first thing that most of us with children probably say causes gray hair is well, of course our kids! Right?
Others who don't have kids to blame those pesky gray hairs on probably blame it on other family members or stress from say that rotten ol' "W" word, work.
Hmmmmm, what else can we blame gray hair on? There's probably a list of things that people say. Of course there is a scientific answer to explain those gray hairs sooooo.....
I searched the internet and here is the answer I found:
What causes gray hair?
Answer:
Cause of Gray Hair
Going gray is part of life.
As we get older the pigment (color) cells in the roots of our hair -- our hair follicles -- gradually die. As the color cells die, the hair loses its color and it becomes transparent.
The age that we start going gray is determined by our genetics. Some people go gray very young.
Hmmmmm.....guess at some point we will all have gray hair! Whether it be a few strands or a WHOLE head full!
I'll admit, I have a few strands but they really don't bother me too much. Just adds character! :-)

Spell Mississippi
Last night on the way to my grandparents' house for supper, my daughter wanted to have a spelling bee. She would tell me a word and I would spell it. I would then tell her a word and she would spell it. We took turns like this all the way to my grandparents' house.
One of the words she wanted me to spell was Mississippi. I said, "Capital M, i, crooked letter, crooked letter, i, crooked letter, crooked letter, i, hump back, hump back, i."
Her reaction was, "What?"
I asked her if I spelled it right and she said, "No, you added extra stuff."
She then told me to spell it again but not use the crooked letters because it was confusing her.
She apparently didn't like the way I was spelling Mississippi. Funny thing is, my hubby remembers one of us spelling it that way for our daughter when she was younger and he thinks he remembers that she liked it back then.
I think she liked it more than she let on though because she was going to share it with her teacher at school today.

Going To Bed Early
Ummm.....yeah. I am SO glad, and I'm being sarcastic here, that we put our son to bed earlier than usual last night.
Our daughter goes to bed earlier than everyone on school nights already but our son is usually a night owl with mommy and daddy.
Well, last night we decided to put him to bed earlier too so we could have some quiet time.
Soooo.....we enjoyed the quiet time last night but paid for it this morning. Since he went to bed early, our son apparently thought he needed to get up early too! The little booger thought he needed to wake up BEFORE 7am!
I heard this little voice saying, "Mommy" so I went into his room. His sheet had come off the corner of his mattress so I fixed it and had him lie back down.
Not long after that my hubby got up to get ready for work and I hear my son say, "Daddy's awake." A short time after that I hear him say that he was awake too.
Even though I wasn't ready to get out of bed yet, because let me remind you my alarm hadn't even gone off yet, I got up because my "other" alarm clock was going off. My alarm clock that says, "Mommy" from the other room.
I go into my son's room to get him and he proudly tells me that he is awake. Ummm.....yes, I already know this. Even though it made my day start earlier than I had wanted, it really was a cute start to it so I can't complain too much. We only get so many of these type of moments so we really should enjoy them while we can!

Scotch With Two Drops Of Water
A lady goes to the bar on a cruise ship and orders a Scotch with two drops of water. As the bartender gives her the drink she says,
'I'm on this cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday and it's today...'
The bartender says, 'Well, since it's your birthday, I'll buy you a drink. In fact, this one is on me.'
As the woman finishes her drink, the woman to her right says, 'I would like to buy you a drink, too.'
The old woman says, 'Thank you. Bartender, I want a Scotch with two drops of water.'
'Coming up,' says the bartender.
As she finishes that drink, the man to her left says, 'I would like to buy you one, too.'
The old woman says, 'Thank you. Bartender, I want another Scotch with two drops of water.'
'Coming right up,' the bartender says.
As he gives her the drink, he says, 'Ma'am, I'm dying of curiosity. Why the Scotch with only two drops of water?'
The old woman replies,
'Sonny, when you're my age, you've learned how to hold your liquor. Holding your water, however, is a whole other issue.'

Old Is When
'OLD' IS WHEN...
Your sweetie says, 'Let's go upstairs
and make love,' and you answer,
'Pick one; I can't do both!'
'OLD' IS WHEN...
Your friends compliment you
on your new alligator
shoes....
and you're barefoot.
'OLD' IS WHEN...
A sexy babe catches your fancy
and your pacemaker opens the garage door.
'OLD' IS WHEN...
Going braless
pulls all the wrinkles out of your face.
'OLD' IS WHEN...
You don't care where your spouse goes,
just as long as you don't have to go along.
'OLD' IS WHEN...
You are cautioned to slow down by the doctor
instead of by the police.
'OLD' IS WHEN...
'Getting a little action'
means you don't need to take any fiber today.
'OLD' IS WHEN...
'Getting lucky' means you find your car
in the parking lot.
'OLD' IS WHEN...
An 'all nighter' means not getting up
to use the bathroom.
AND
'OLD' IS WHEN...
You're not sure these are jokes?

New Haircut
So I got a new haircut a few weeks ago. I got about 3 to 4 inches cut off the length and also had some layers cut throughout it along with getting it thinned as well as I have SUPER thick hair.
I just LOVE how easy it is to manage now. Way less hair to wash and style which I can do now! I used to just pull all my hair back in a ponytail most days because I didn't like how it looked leaving it down. Now I leave it down and actually style it with gel. Something that makes it take a bit longer to get ready but........I love how I look when I'm done, so worth the extra time it takes.
What I don't like however about my new haircut is how when I wake up in the morning it stands up all over because of being shorter with all the layers cut throughout it. It doesn't just smooth down when I crawl out of bed so yeah, my morning look is sometimes NOT too pretty!
Suppose it doesn't really matter. Hubby and the kids are usually the only ones here to see my "scared standing on end" hair look. The kids sometimes have this look going on too so I fit right in with them and hubby married me for that better or worse situation so I think a bad hair do falls in the worse category, don't you?

God's Cake!
God's cake...
This is about the best thing I've ever read as an explanation. We all wonder many times over WHY?
Sometimes we wonder, 'What did I do to deserve this?' or 'Why did God have to do this to me?'
Here is a wonderful explanation!
A daughter is telling her Mother how everything is going wrong, she's failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend is moving away.
Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter if she would like a snack, and the daughter says, 'Absolutely Mom, I love your cake.'
'Here, have some cooking oil,' her Mother offers.
'Yuck,' says her daughter.
'How about a couple raw eggs?'
'Gross, Mom!'
'Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?'
'Mom, those are all yucky!'
To which the mother replies: 'Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake!'
God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful!
God is crazy about you. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart.
I hope your day is a piece of cake!

Two Friends
TWO FRIENDS WERE WALKING THROUGH THE DESERT.
DURING SOME POINT OF THE JOURNEY, THEY HAD AN
ARGUMENT AND ONE FRIEND SLAPPED THE OTHER ONE
IN THE FACE.
THE ONE WHO GOT SLAPPED WAS HURT, BUT WITHOUT
SAYING ANYTHING, WROTE IN THE SAND:
'TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE'.
THEY KEPT ON WALKING, UNTIL THEY FOUND AN OASIS,
WHERE THEY DECIDED TO TAKE A BATH.
THE ONE WHO HAD BEEN SLAPPED GOT STUCK IN THE
MIRE AND STARTED DROWNING, BUT THE FRIEND
SAVED HIM.
AFTER HE RECOVERED FROM THE NEAR DROWNING,
HE WROTE ON A STONE:
'TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE'.
THE FRIEND WHO HAD SLAPPED AND SAVED HIS BEST
FRIEND ASKED HIM, 'AFTER I HURT YOU, YOU WROTE
IN THE SAND AND NOW, YOU WRITE ON A STONE, WHY?'
THE FRIEND REPLIED, 'WHEN SOMEONE HURTS US WE
SHOULD WRITE IT DOWN IN SAND, WHERE WINDS OF
FORGIVENESS CAN ERASE IT AWAY. BUT, WHEN
SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING GOOD FOR US, WE MUST
ENGRAVE IT IN STONE WHERE NO WIND CAN EVER
ERASE IT.'

Red Pants
So my daughter has three pair of pants that are basically exactly the same except the color. She has a blue pair, a pink pair, and a red pair. I got them for a great price a while back.
Well, each time I wanted her to wear the red pair she would not want to wear them. She didn't like them. She had no problem wearing the blue pair and the pink pair though. Same type of pants, just different color. Apparently she doesn't like red?
Funny thing about the red pair of pants is that I finally gave up trying to get her to wear them so once she wore them one last time I went ahead and put them in the yard sale pile.
Monday night when she was getting her clothes picked out for school the next day, guess what she wanted to wear for Valentine's Day? Yep! Those red pants that I had such a hard time getting her to wear before! Go figure!
She said something like, "Just one more time." Apparently she does like red but only for Valentine's Day? Guess it makes sense though!
Well, each time I wanted her to wear the red pair she would not want to wear them. She didn't like them. She had no problem wearing the blue pair and the pink pair though. Same type of pants, just different color. Apparently she doesn't like red?
Funny thing about the red pair of pants is that I finally gave up trying to get her to wear them so once she wore them one last time I went ahead and put them in the yard sale pile.

Snow Day!
Well, it happened! We have had our first REAL snow of the winter. We knew it was coming and the weather forecast was actually pretty accurate. Sometimes you just never know because there have been occasions where what we were expecting did not happen. This time it did! As you can see from the picture below.
We got the call REALLY early this morning calling off school for the day. Yay! I'm perfectly fine with that. I think my daughter was too. We're using today as a lazy, stay in our pj's day. Not planning to go one single place but the bathroom, the kitchen for food, and the couch.
The kids will be playing with their toys or watching movies. I'll be crocheting on some orders. Plans are to just have a nice relaxing, not doing much of nothing day.
Poor hubby had to go to work though, after shoveling off the driveway/sidewalks and cleaning off the vehicles. I think he even cleaned off my truck too, probably in case I need to go somewhere, which I don't plan to, but I guess you never know what could come up so such a sweetie he was to clean it off. Too bad it snowed some more after he did, so if I do end up going out and about I'll have to clean off the snow again. Hmmmm.....even more incentive to just stay home. :-)

How Twins Are Made
How twins are made ...NOW WE FINALLY KNOW!
I thought this was just plain cute.
So this is how they do it... One of life's great mysteries solved.
Only twenty years ago, no one would have understood this joke!

Feels Like Winter
BRRRRR!!!!! So far this winter has been a VERY mild one. We've had days that were as warm as 60 degrees. Makes for a nice little walk up to the school to get my daughter in the afternoons. We worry that with such a mild winter, that summer will be HOT. That's not the only thing we worry about though. We also worry that there will be a TON of bugs since it hasn't really been too cold yet.
Well, today some of our worry has faded. It definitely feels like winter, finally. I believe the temperature this morning when I was out and about was around 30 degrees. It is currently 20 degrees as I'm typing this. Brrrrr city! That temperature is going to continue to drop as the night goes on. The low tonight is expected to be a whopping 7 degrees! Can you say COLD?
Not sure what the weekend temperatures are suppose to be but I think it is suppose to continue to get colder as we might be getting some of that awful "S" word the beginning of next week. Now I don't mind snow as long as I and my hubby don't have to be out driving in it. I could go for a snow day and I'm sure my daughter would LOVE one. We'll know in a few days.

Never Argue With A Woman
Another little funny I received in an e-mail some time ago. Enjoy!
One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book. Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says…
'Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?'
'Reading a book,' she replies, (thinking, 'Isn't it obvious?')
'You're in a Restricted Fishing Area,' he informs her.
'I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading,' she replies.
'Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up,' he replies.
'For reading a book?,' she replies.
'You're in a Restricted Fishing Area,' he informs her again.
'I'm sorry, officer, but I am not fishing. I am reading,' she replies, again.
Again he says, 'Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up.'
'If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault,' says the woman.
'But I haven't even touched you,' says the game warden.
'That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment,' she says.
'Have a nice day ma'am,' and he left.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.

Tiffany's
Just a little funny I received in an e-mail quite some time ago! Hope it'll at least bring a smile to your face if not a whole laugh out loud situation for ya! Enjoy!
A lady walks into Tiffany's. She browses around, spots a beautiful diamond bracelet, and walks over to inspect it. As she bends over to look more closely she inadvertently farts.
Very embarrassed, she looks around nervously to see if anyone has noticed her little accident and prays that a sales person doesn't pop up right now. As she turns around, her worst nightmare materializes in the form of a salesman standing right behind her.
Cool as a cucumber and displaying complete professionalism, the salesman greets the lady with, "Good day, Madam. How may we help you today?"
Very uncomfortably, but hoping that the salesman may just not have been there at the time of her little 'accident', she asks, "Sir, what is the price of this lovely bracelet?"
He answers, "Madam, if you farted just looking at it, you're going to s**t when I tell you the price."
He answers, "Madam, if you farted just looking at it, you're going to s**t when I tell you the price."

Women
Got this in an e-mail sometime ago:
BEHIND EVERY SUCCESSFUL WOMAN IS HERSELF!
A WOMAN IS LIKE A TEA BAG... YOU DON'T KNOW HOW STRONG SHE IS UNTIL YOU PUT HER IN HOT WATER!
I HAVE YET TO HEAR A MAN ASK FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO COMBINE MARRIAGE AND A CAREER!
COFFEE, CHOCOLATE, MEN. SOME THINGS ARE JUST BETTER RICH!
I'M OUT OF ESTROGEN AND I HAVE A GUN!
WARNING: I HAVE AN ATTITUDE AND I KNOW HOW TO USE IT!
OF COURSE I DON'T LOOK BUSY... I DID IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!
DO NOT START WITH ME. YOU WILL NOT WIN!
ALL STRESSED OUT AND NO ONE TO CHOKE!
And last but not least:
IF YOU WANT BREAKFAST IN BED, SLEEP IN THE KITCHEN!

Do You Relist?
My blog post topic for this post is another Etsy related question.
Do you relist your unsold items in your Etsy shop or do you lower your prices before the item expires in hopes of selling it?
I usually let my items run the full 4 months and then relist them. After that, if they still haven't sold I'll consider lowering the price or sometimes relist them again. I have only lowered the price on some of my higher priced items and those are items that I don't really plan on making too often anyway, if at all.
I figure I'd rather pay the extra $.20 listing fee a few times and hopefully sell my item for what I want for it instead of taking a bigger loss by lowering the price. I don't lower the price on my less expensive items simply because I think they are already affordable.
Sometimes by relisting I get the item sold and sometimes I don't. You just never know who is out there at the time shopping.

How Do You Promote?
My blog topic for today is: How do you promote your Etsy shop?
Promoting your Etsy shop plays a KEY role in getting sales in my opinion. You have to get yourself out there for people to see. If you set up a yard sale in your yard but don't put any signs up anywhere, you aren't going to get very many people stopping by except those who happen to drive down your street.
I think it is the same on Etsy. If you list an item but don't promote your Etsy shop anywhere you aren't going to get as many people viewing it. If you aren't getting views, you aren't going to get many sales.
Here's what I do to promote my Etsy shop:
1. On occasion I will send out a mass e-mail to all of my family/friends with the link to my shop and ask them to pass it along to everyone they know if they want to/have the chance.
2. I've joined some of the teams on Etsy. Mostly ones that aren't REALLY active because I like to be able to keep up and sometimes can't check in on them. Even though they aren't REALLY active it is still a place to share my items with others.
3. When I list something whether it be an expired item I've renewed, a sold item I've relisted, or a new item altogether I will go and post the link to it on ALL the teams I'm on and I tweet the link on Twitter as well.
4. Twitter is a great, did I say GREAT way to get views. I didn't use to use Twitter much but now do. Since using it more my views have gone WAY up. I think I've gotten new favorites from it. Views can turn into favorites. Favorites can turn into sales. And sales = money. We all want money, don't we?
5. I've heard Facebook is a good promoting tool as well. I personally don't have it. Just one more thing I myself don't have time for but on occasion my friend puts my Etsy shop on her Facebook page and I get views from it.
6. My daughter and I have been making a daily treasury on Etsy this year. This is not only promoting others but also gets your Etsy shop seen more because the shops you feature will sometimes browse what you have if they haven't before and then if they share the link to show off they are featured, those they share with may end up taking a look in your Etsy shop.
7. I try to include a card with what I make, my Etsy shop address, and my e-mail address in with my orders so that way my buyer can share with others if they want.
8. Adding listings on a regular basis I think can help a bit too. I can't always do this though. Just depends on how much time I have to be online.
Hopefully some of that information will be useful to some of you! If you have any other ways you promote, please feel free to share them in a comment!

Unusual Tastes
I think all of us probably have some sort of unusual tastes. There is probably at least one thing each of us likes to eat that some would find to be weird or gross.
A few I can think of are people who like to eat ketchup on their eggs or hot sauce on their chicken. Sauerkraut on hot dogs doesn't sound to appetizing to me either. Yuck!
The idea of eating butter on crackers or butter on a brownie doesn't sound like it would taste good to me but yes, I know people who do this.
My son likes to dip just about anything in ranch dressing. This includes green beans and chicken. I can see maybe the chicken since some people have salad with chicken and use ranch dressing but I'm not sure about green beans? The other day he chowed down on some Polish sausage with ranch dressing. Ewwww! He's a ketchup dipper too with a lot of things!
My hubby will put barbeque sauce on macaroni and cheese. Ummmm......nope, none for me thanks! I do however like something else on mine.
One of the unusual things I like to eat is macaroni and cheese with ketchup on it. Only the cheaper regular macaroni and cheese though. Not the really good Velveeta Shells And Cheese or homemade macaroni with Velveeta Cheese.
One time when I was eating this my daughter said things like, "Gross.", "Ewwww.", and "Have you lost your mind?"
Funny thing is, this came from a child who will eat a hamburger bun with nothing on it but ketchup. Go figure!
What are some of your unusual tastes? Do tell!

Didn't Want It Until Now
Those of you reading this who have kids can probably relate to this blog post.
Ever notice how kids don't usually want to play with toys until either:
A. another child has it
B. you put them away
C. you ask them to put them away
My kids are BOTH guilty of ALL three!
My daughter can have things just lying around for who knows how long and not have anything to do with them. The moment I tell her to put her things away, sometimes she will just put them away right when I ask her. Other times, especially if she is "busy" doing something, she will decide to either use it, play with it, or wear it if it is clothes or shoes rather than take the ten seconds it would take to walk it to her room.
My son is basically the same way. His toys can be lying ALL over the floor for HOURS and he won't bother them. Of course the moment I go to pick them up, he is all over them playing with them and re-scattering them across the floor again. Not sure why I even bother to clean them up!
Now that he is getting older and able to help more, I will ask my son to pick up his own toys or help me rather than doing it all by myself. Sometimes he decides he wants to play with them again and other times he will go put them away.
It's a never ending chore to clean up after kids isn't it? But you gotta love them! I know I do!

My Fifth Featured Etsian
Today I am going to do another feature of a fellow Etsian. I am going to shine the spotlight on a shop owner I met on Etsy quite some time ago.
We were on one of the old BNR threads before the forums turned into teams. We are now on one of the Etsy teams together. The Etsy Meet Up Team found here. Come by and join us!
So my dear blog readers, my fifth featured Etsian here on my blog is Kim, the shop owner of Karnival Of Krafts found here on Etsy. She is such a sweet person who I am happy to feature. I have really enjoyed chatting with her recently and getting to know her a bit better.
As you can see from the pictures in this post, Kim makes a wide variety of items. Don't think she only creates three different things though. She definitely has lots more to offer besides scarves, bookmarks, and note cards featured in this post. There are SO many more items to view in her shop. I just can't show you everything in one little blog post. She has gloves, ear warmers, tags, and gift bags. You can also findplastic bag holders, baby wipes, and more!
Kim is definitely a talented Etsian to be able to create so many different items. Be sure to go check out everything else she makes! You just might find something you just gotta buy! I know she'll let you! Now go look already will ya?

Management Course Lesson 6
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.
While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.
As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was.
The dung was actually thawing him out!
He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.
Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.
Morals of the story:
(1) Not everyone who s***s on you is your enemy.
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of s**t is your friend.
(3) When you're in deep s**t, it's best to keep your mouth shut!
