Its warm again! We got up at 5:00am and went bay fishing on a fishing boat. It was amazing.
The dolphins swam next to us on the way back in.
We got back at 1:00pm, ate lunch, and spent the rest of the day at the beach.

Day Two

10-6-2012

Day two Of beach trip

I feel terrible today! I cant breathe out of my nose and my throat hurts at random, inopportune times.
The sleeping arrangements are crazy so I cant unpack at all without having to move again tommorrow.
I need to be alone to vent but I have no room of my own. My stuff is three flights upstairs while I am in the basement. My baby sister is asleep so I cant get anything. I am stuck in this room with a chaped and runny nose, unbrushed teeth and hair, chapped lips, No bible, no clothes, no Ipod to painfully watch the hours crawl by... torture. Oh, And Im sunburnt today.

Fifth day of beach trip.

First day of beach trip

This morning I got up with full blown allergies, ate cookie oatmeal*, helped mom get ready for co-op**, and lugged my bags to the car. Me and my 8year old brother where dropped off at my paternal grandparents house at around 9:00Am. We helped pack the cars. We left the house at 10:00.

We drove while listening to Hank the Cow dog. We stopped for lunch at 11:30 then got back on the road. That was the only real stop till the Ferry. The ferry was fun. We got to see dolphins in the bay. We arrived at the beach house at 3:00pm one hour ahead of schedule The sign in office had been moved to a new location. So my grandma(Oma) went in town while my grandpa(Opa) went ahead to the beach house to see if the cleaners where still there to let us in. Me and my brother wanted to stretch our legs so we walked the rest of the way. The cleaners showed up five minutes after we got there so we lugged our stuff up to the porch to be ready when we where let in. We had to wait half an hour to get in.

We lugged our stuff inside then me and my brother and my grandpa went to the beach. We swam, and played, and I buried my legs up to the knee. I was able to do an EXTREME chair pose with my weight distributed in such a way. When we went back to the beach house we unpacked more and went to dinner. When we got there I noticed that I Didn't have any shoes. I left my shoes at the beach house!

I hate shoes(spits). Me and Oma went back to the beach house while Opa and my brother got a table.

God must have planned it out because we had left a candle burning that needed to be blown out.
For dinner I had an amazing Cesar salad with grilled chicken on top. We stoped at the grocery before going to the house and tumbling into bed. (still suffering form the allergy attack)

That morning we went to watch the sunrise and do yoga in the beach here are some pics:

Etsy Conversations Podcast

Time for another resource review!
My favorite podcast of all time is The Etsy Conversations Podcast.
Angela Holden from the shop Angela Holden Design  is a experienced podcaster and when she joined Etsy on March 1st 2012 she jumped on itunes to see if there was a podcast about being a better seller. There where none. So being an expert podcaster she started one for herself. She interviewed many cool shop owners to see how they run they're shops and manage they're time and resources. Then one day she decided to quit. But we would not have it! Me along with a few others offered to take over the podcast. Marry Miller from the shop Along Came Mary has taken over and should start posting again soon.

Friday Friends

I go to a homeschool co-op. At my co-op the kids create and vote on the classes we want to take. This semester we have an Etsy success class. The kids in the class(including me) are learning how to run a successful shop. We have opened a group shop called Friday Friends we are a group of girls between the ages or 7 and 13. We are selling simple crafts that we make in class. We also hope to start selling some stuff from the other crafty classes in the Co-op like metal-smithing.

Please take a look Here Your purchase will aid in growing our knowledge of the wonderful world of Etsy.

Lets Get Back on track!

Thank you so much for letting me get a handle on things. I have gone over my schedule and have a good handle on what I am realistically able to accomplish.
Here is my new schedule:

I will post AT LEAST 3 times a week. Plus extra social post sometimes.

OK
the First post of the week will be a self promotional post(try to keep them interesting)
the Second post will be a TUTORIAL or recipe!
the last SCHEDULED post will be a review. The theme of the review will switch between a product review and a resource review.

Thanks again,
