New Products

I have added some new products to my store. Please welcome my new "Simply Pure" line. I am going in a direction of 95% natural or more. Here are some new listings in my Etsy store.

Natural products have always been one of my main interests and now I am ready to go in that direction. I hope you enjoy it.

Postcrossing

I have been doing Postcrossing for a couple of months now, it has been great fun. Everything is free, you register an account. Then you send 5 postcards, one the people register that they have received your cards, someone else gets assigned to send you a card. It's a great system. So far, I have received cards from all over the world, and from across the United States as well. Here is a link to the postcards I have received, and my postcrossing profile. Enjoy!

An Ending and a Beginning

My beloved Pomeranian Duchess died. I loved that little dog fiercely and will miss her desperately. She was such a good dog, waiting patiently for my husband, her daddy, to return from work. She was a yappy thing, annoying at the time, but now I'd give up alot to hear her bark again. I wish I could stroke her silky fur one more time, she will be dearly missed. Please, if there is someone in your life you can't live without, let them know you love them and hug them often. You'll be glad you did.

In my grief, the only thing I wanted was my dear Pomeranian. I hemmed and hawed, and found a breeder online. I then went to look at a puppy he had available. She in no way replaces Duchess, but she sure does dull the pain at times. I got to meet her mom, dad and grandma. What an adorable, happy family she comes from. I know she will make a great companion. So, I'd like to introduce Sugar Cookie.

Thawing Out!

Winter is finally breathing her final breaths here in the frozen North. Snow is falling and quickly melting as I type. I have seen a Blue jay and squirrels after a long absence. I can't wait to trek outside and feel the warm sunshine. Barbecues and long walks in the evening are coming and I can't wait.

House Cleaning

I've never been the best house keeper, and I have so much trouble getting rid of things. I am working on this program, so far it's been going well. I have been getting alot done, but one day at a time, instead of all in one day and then worn out and unmotivated. If you have housecleaning or clutter issues, I highly recommend this service~ and it is free!

Valentine's Day

I forgot to mention my Valentine's Day! Jason brought home some beautiful tulips and some chocolate. Then he took me to Norman Quack's~ a great local restarant. We had a great time and I love those flowers.

Here is the treasury I just made on Etsy. Enjoy!

Updates

Last weekend we had Cynthia's party at the bowling alley, we all had lots of fun and ate pizza, nachos, and soda. Sharon and Dennis (my parents) were gracious enough to foot the bill~ Thanks Mom and Dad! We also said goodbye to Annie last Friday. We had a nice dinner at an Italian place, it was delicious. We were sad, but Annie was ready to go back and complete her mission. Can't wait till we have her back for good.
This week was Daisy's first Valentine's Day at school, she was so proud of all of the cards and candy she received. Daisy and Cynthia both had Friday off, we got a lot done around the house.
Jason made a delicious roast on his grill yesterday, it was quite good for the first time he has made it. I made some mashed potatoes, and Jason made some gravy with the drippings. Actually a TON of gravy, we have plenty to last us for a while.
We are also hoping to sign up for the Forest Lake Farmers Market soon. We will do that every Tuesday evening from June to September. Sharon wants to do that with me, it will be good to have the company. So I am in a flurry getting ready for that~ soaps, canopy, a sign needs to be made, wish us luck!
Well, I am still working on a new template for my website. It looks perfect in the editor, but when I upload it, it looks terrible, so still trying to fix those bugs. I have also listed quite a few items on Etsy, so I've been busy with that.
