I managed to grab a Treasury after attending the Treasury Explosion Party… and explode it did. Just look at this pic Jared managed to grab at the time of the crash!

I was featured in the Etsy Teams are the Best treasury, compiled by fellow etsymom and etsyKids member, BeadedSocks. Much thanks to her for showcasing my Yellow Butterfly Hair Clip, perfect for infant and toddler hair. For more on Beaded Socks, visit her blog.

And as for my They’re RICH! treasury, I chose rich colors, stemming from a search of magenta items a couple of days ago. I tucked each of these beauties into my favorites and prayed they didn’t sell before I was able to use them (sorry!). We’ll see if it’s good enough to make the front page. *crossing fingers*

Visit both my and Beaded Socks’ treasuries, and please click on each item featured in both to give these wonderful artists the recognition they deserve. Who knows? You may stumble upon something you just *have* to have!

Oh, and for those potentially buying me Christmas gifts this year… open an Etsy account. It’ll come in handy for you.

Ugh. Today’s my 27th birthday. Birthdays aren’t special for me, just like the day before and the day after. Big whoop. Meh.

I do love my birthday for one reason, and one reason only. The Perseid meteor shower!!! Yay! I love sitting outside the night of my birthday, into the wee hours of the morning of the 12th, just watching these amazing flashes of light shoot across the sky. This year, Sunday night is supposed to be the optimal viewing time because of the New Moon. So, guess how I will be spending the next couple of nights? So… if you live in an area where you get a clear view of the sky, I highly recommend viewing this yearly meteor shower. If not tonight, then definitely tomorrow night. The weather is warm, the skies are clear with a low moon, so the conditions are practically as perfect as they can be.

Well, my sister got me beau coup crafting supplies as a birthday present. Excitement!!! My mom and dad both gave me some cash, so that’ll probably go to more supplies for me… although I’m thinking of picking me out a birthday present off Etsy.

Oh, and yummy Mexican food for dinner tonight. Maybe I’ll fix a pitcher of margaritas to drink while watching tonight. Hmm….
