Monday!

It's Monday.

Not the most fun day. I had a 9 am dentist appointment, and a trip to the PO after.

Eh. It was okay. I wish dental work was free. I use my Care Credit card for my appointments. It has a very low interest and can only be used for medical work and some vets take it too.

I wish it was free...

Anyway, I don't want to talk about the dentist.

Um...it's almost Christmas! Holy cow! 10 days! :)

We aren't really doing anything fun. We are staying home this year because we can't afford to travel. Anywhere. It should be fun. We might go see a movie, and of course lots of food to be eaten. I'm thinking we should eat all the food that is REALLY bad for us. Mike and I eat relatively healthy, so I think we should go all out for Christmas :)

um...if you haven't checked out Paper n' Stitch yet, you really should.
I just signed myself up for another month. I really like it.
I can't really tell if it's added to my sales. Mostly because I am also signed up over at Trunkt this month too, and Etsy doesn't provide any stats as far as how people find your shop...

It's funny that a site like Flickr provides awesome stats. For free...

Anyway, I just really like the ladies who run it, and it's really easy to manage.
Also, I love the layout. It's really cute.
So check out my shop and leave a heart! Just click on the little heart up in the left hand corner.

The person who has the most hearts at the end of the month wins a free month and $150 bucks! Sweet! :)

Alright, hope everyone had a great weekend!
Chloe did. She got lots of playing and napping in. Tough life...

Heat Hot Hot

So two weeks ago our land lord decided that he was going to cut down all of the trees on the side of our yard. I won't give you the reason...although if you e-mail me I'll give you the haps...but I knew that this was going to pretty much suck for us.

To begin with, without our trees we can see directly into our neighbors house. Which also happens to be a funeral home. Also, because all of those tress provided wonderful shady shade, without them our apartment gets pelted with sun from about noon until 7 o clock...which also means we have to run our air conditioner almost all day. Before we just turned it on at night so we could sleep a little easier. I hate using the air conditioner all day, but we would roast if we didn't.

Anyway, I was a little upset today at someone...not naming names...but Michael got this really funny picture of me going off on a rant :) and no that's not a crater in my face on the left side, it happens to be one of the many dimples I inherited from my grandma.

Between ranting and packaging up paintings, I managed to post a painting on Etsy. Things have been pretty slow these days over in Etsy land, so I signed up for the month long membership over at Trunkt. It's nice because it tells you a lot of stats that you wouldn't know otherwise. Like how many people visited your Etsy shop directly from Trunkt, and how many visits you got in a month, and how many showcases you are/were in. So we'll see how that goes. I don't think I am going to purchase the full year unless I start getting crazy traffic and sales, I just thought since it's been so slow this month I'd give it a try.

Alright. hope everyone is staying cool :)
Angie if you're reading this....I hope you're hangning in there!
