So out of boredom, and searcing the internet, I was trying to find how to make a real, true friendship bracelet. Unfortunally, I didnt like making it, mostly I didnt like how it looked so I just decided to wrap embrpidery floss around some hemp, no knots, and made myself a pretty new bracelet!
Soon to be sold in Peppy and Belle's etsy shop!
By the way, my internet explorer keeps telling me blogspot.com is an invalid URL. Anyone else having this problem?
Hope everyone is well.

Eleven Monthes
Next month, it will be a year since I opened my Etsy shop. What a year its been! I looked back on some of my first items, and some of the same things I still sell, but the pictures, my descriptions, and tags have improved so much! I have been making a few new items, but I think I will focus this month on editing my shop. Fixing ALL of my pictures so theyre all PERFECT, spell checing everytthing, ect. I want my shop to look perfect for its 1 year birthday.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix it up even more, please let me know! Thanks.

Been around
So May was a slow month for me, but a good one considering I had a lot going on. I didnt spend too much time on my etsy shop, blog, facebook, ect. But sales were better than expected for the lack of effort I put in to last month. But this month will be better. I've been busy with trying to get school stuff settled in for both me and my son, work, I got really sick for a few days, now a lot of stuff is taken care of and I have more free time.
I have also been looking for clothes. My only problem is, I am broke. No kidding, eaither. My etsy money is seprate from my real money, so I'm not even going to tap into that. Ebay is even more than I can afford. So I do have a $15 dollar certificate for ebay (I bought for $7 on Groupon a while back), and a $20 certificate for Plato's closet (A retail shop around here, I also bought for $10 on Groupon). Any other suggestions?
My biggest problem is all the clothes I still have! I've sold some on Ebay, to make a little money to also go toward new clothes, but I seriously have 50 shirts and I wear them all, and like 20 pairs of pants and shorts and I wear them all. But mostly, my clothes I have had since highschool, and its a sentimental value and I dont wanna let them go (even though I should).
I did break down and spend $60 on two pairs of new shoes from Rocketdog.com. The joint sneakers, becasue they my favorite. I cant find them in stores anymore, and my pair have holes in them. I tapped them up long enough, and finally found two pairs on the website in my size (theyre ALWAYS out of my size) so I broke down and bought some.
So if any of you have any suggestions on where to buy cheap clothes online other than ebay, let me know! Thanks.

Finally Back, I think...
So I'm finally back, for the moment being. I've been busy trying to get a lot of stuff done. I havent been doing much online, although I have gotten almost all my orders shipped out.
I took 2 out of 3 of my tests for college yesterday. I got an 88 in reading, so I tested out of that, and a 91 on writting. I just need to take math, which I am horrible at. So wish me luck on that part.
Vacation was fun, and I am going to be working more hours to make a little more money. Its going to suck considering I HATE my job, and I know I shouldn't stay at a job I hate but I kind of have no choice at the moment. The fall should be a lot easier on me, and I will go job searching then.
Other than that, I am working on a few new bracelets, they should be up soon. Have a good day everyone!

Tulsa, You know that you been on my mind...
Yeahm so my title is actually a Hanson song, except instead of Georgia I put Tulsa. I am so excited to go to Tulsa tomorrow. 'm going to miss my baby boy much, but I will be back Sunday night. I am going on a small budget, so hopefully I can get some new Hanson merch, do some shopping, and come home with a little bit of money. Although I belive most of the money will be spend on gas. Not fun. Gas is 3.97 here! So its def killin us to drive around here. Luckily, gas is about .20 cheaper in Tulsa, but its still a 6 hour drive there. I still need to pack tday, hoping to buy some new clothes while I'm there, come back a somewhat new Lacy.
Thats all for now, hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Baby is officially 3
So my baby is officially 3, and since his birthday I havent had much time to be online. I've been cleaning up the house, organizing his toys, and finding more stuff to sell on ebay. And this weekend I'm going to Tulsa, Oklahoma to see Hanson. Yay. So I know I said this week I'd be blogging more, but it will have to wait til next week. I will try to have interesting things to talk about when I return.

The past week
The past week has been busy busy busy! Last thurdsday I was featured in about 10 lovely treasuries! It did help my sales a bit, considering I was in a little slump, which is okay becasue I needed a break for a minute.
My babies birthday is tomorrow, hes going to be a whole 3 years old! I need to take a picture of me and him while hes still two. The past 3 years and 10 monthes have gone by so fast! I still remember wqaddling around, all preggo. Now, hes all grown up. And the best news: He starts pre school in August! This is a special preschool, hes going to have 6 kids in his class with 6 teachers. That will be good for him socially, O hope. Thats exciting and sad at the same time. One, his therapists no longer come to the house once he starts pre school. That could be hard on him, and me a little too at first, because I really enjoy his therapists. Two: I'm feeling old. Yes, I am only 23 and I got pregnant young, but him growing up is making me realize I need to grow up too. Its kind of sad. So me and Blake will pretty much be starting school at the same time, which is okay becasue now whiles hes at school all days (9am to 4pm) I wont have to look for a baby sitter while I'm eaither at school or work.
Enough of my babbling, once this week is over and birthday stuff is over, I will have more time to work on my etsy shop and blog some more. So have a good week everyone!
