Raise your hand if...while you were putting on your mascara this morning, you used a straight pin to separate your lashes and you STUCK THE PIN IN YOUR OWN EYE!!  I didn't think so!

Ow.

Note to self...leave your lashes alone.

Of course those are my real lashes in the photo!  Why do you ask?  not.

New Selling Blog

Hi there.  Well, in the style of Belle from Tales From a Loser, I've gone and added another blog to my life.  My Cottage Crafts will be opening soon.

I've decided to start a "selling blog", a place where I can share all of the crafts I create out there in my little studio.  It's still a work in progress as they say, but I'm excited to get moving on it.  As often as time allows, I'll be in my new "shop" fine-tuning things.

Come by and visit, and I'll keep you posted.  Grand opening soon. :)  (I'll bring the chocolate chip cookies and coffee!)

Indeed.

Raise your hand if...you have tomorrow off and hope to, I mean, plan to, spend the day painting signs for Lori.  :)  Me too!  I'll be turning my heater on in the morning and hopefully getting out into my cottage right after breakfast. 

The air is good and chilly, the wind is blowing, the leaves are 99% down, and the sky has that deep grayish-purple that only comes around in the fall.   I love it.  How is it where you are? 

T.G.I.F.  
I hope you can all enjoy a peaceful weekend! 

Raise your hand if...you've been negligent in blogging AND in blog reading!  Yeah, me too.  Plus, work is crazy, we have two vehicles with great big REJECTION stickers on them, my van keeps refusing to start at random times with no prior warning, Cate's car continuously overheats for no apparent reason, and Chelsea's truck is on the flat bed this very moment being brought home because it just shut the heck off while she was on the highway.  Great.  One vehicle that works well, with the four of us having to go in different directions for work.

Another day in Paradise!!  At least tomorrow is Friday. :)
