Rainy Weather Time

 

It's finally fall, like on the calendar even though it's still pretty warm here.  But with fall comes stormy weather.  When you're rained in for the day you can check out our puzzle books.  We have this cute Bible Word Search and many other puzzle books on our Amazon and Etsy stores. 

When you aren't outside enjoying the (hopefully soon) cooler days, you can be decorating your house. What a cute sign to decorate your bathroom. 

We have several fall and Halloween items to decorate your outfits and house. There's nothing better than little seasonal pops of fun. 

Quilting Magazines are 15% off this week only.  We have a huge selection, come check them out before the sale ends. 

We took a weekend trip last week for a volleyball tournament and got to enjoy some beautiful scenery.  

What type of activities do you like to do in the fall? This time of year is always fun but so busy around here.  Volleyball is coming to an end and Nutcracker is just beginning.  I never know if we're coming or going. 

Never Too Early for Spooky Season

 Are you ready for the fall breeze? The falling leaves? The ghosts and ghouls?  We are ready too.

On Ebay we have these adorable Starbucks Glow in the dark cups.  Perfect for your coffee and hot apple cider.

On Etsy we have a sale on Spooky/Fall items for the month of September.  We have coloring books,

Decorations

and Pens

If you're not ready for spooky season yet we have some jewelry that will go with your fall wardrobe. Bracelets in neutral colors that can carry you year-round. 

And earrings that match every vibe. 

And if you want to forget about the season all together, we have some fun movies you can watch while pretending it is still summer. 

We are constantly adding more things to all of our storefronts, so don't forget to check back often.  Which category do you fall in (ha-ha fall)?  I think I'm ready for fall, but I'd be okay to wait a little bit longer on spooky. 

School TIme

 It doesn't seem possible, but summer vacation is over.  School has started and volleyball games are in full swing.  Does your family do sports?  How do you find time to get it all done?  Lately I've been bringing crafts to games with me.  Since players have to be there an hour early, that's an hour of uninterrupted craft time.  This week I finished this blanket for a friend who's expecting her 4th little boy. 

This summer was full of sweet baby blankets, but I forgot to take pictures of most of them.  I had a lamb, bear, dragon, and the dog. I started a monkey, but I didn't like him, so he's a dog now. 

With schedules so jammed packed everyone is getting a little cranky and tired.  To help combat this unthankful slide, we're doing a 14-day Kindness Challenge over on our Facebook page. Each day I'll post a challenge to bring some kindness to the world around us.  Once you've done your mission of the day go back and like the post.  Then we can all see how much kindness we've spread to our communities. 

Over at our Etsy store we have pens and pencils for your every need.  You never need to write with a boring pen again.

If you squint really hard I think you can see autumn around the corner.  If you want to get a jump on your fall crafts we have a lot of different quilting magazines that will fill up the coming cooler nights. 

We also have a large selection over at our Ebay store.  We have a wide variety of books and toys.

If you need a new friend to cuddle, consider these Bum Bumz

Haley the Hen and Carrot Cake Chester are both waiting for a good hug.

Cozy Afternoons

With school starting and the summer heat still blazing down, you need something to help you relax.  We have so many cute coloring books available at Etsy.

These Nature and Count your Blessings coloring books are beautiful for relaxing. 

We have Dog Days for the dog days of summer and Harvest Home for the upcoming fall bring some fun to your week.

And while we're thinking of the changing of the seasons.  School time's here. If you need some cute accessories, we have some new earrings available.

These ice cream cones will bring together your colorful outfits.

Hold on to the last moments of summer with these watermelon slices. 

If you're ready to bring in fall, we have these cute leaf earrings. 

Come check out all of our coloring books and earrings on Etsy.  We are getting new items all the time.

What are some of your favorite books? This summer I've read everything from Dune to Incredibly Bright Creatures.  My two book clubs keep me on my toes.  We've read horror, romance and science fiction.  Book clubs are a fun way to expand your horizons.  Or you can pick a book at random and try it out. Check out Ebay often for new titles.  

Christmas in July

Trying to beat the heat? Living in Australia?  Both are great reasons to celebrate Christmas in July.  Our Etsy shop is having a Christmas sale 20% off all Christmas items.  We have a pen kit to make your own frosty snowflake pens.  We have a lot of festive pens.  Load up now for stocking stuffers or buy yourself a little treat. 

 These are a few of our adorable designs but browse around to find the perfect pen for you.  The sale ends of July 31, so don't delay. 

Holy Cow

Last summer we had a pop-up petting zoo at our doctor's office.  What a fun surprise!

 Are you like me? Every time we drive by a cow, I have to point it out.  I don't know why, it just happens. 

If you love cows, we have just the things for you.  Cow pens are available in our Etsy store.  

Which cow if your favorite?  Treat yourself to a cute pen today and you can even tell yourself its for the upcoming school year (wink).
