Time for Reboot!

I've been spending less and less time working on my etsy shop just because life's been so crazy. I'm still definitely in the tutu business, but my priorities are elsewhere at the moment, so I've decided this blog should focus on what I'm up to these days.

I'm spending a lot of time working with both my General Practitioner and the Naturopathic Doctor she works with to get rid of the chronic, debilitating migraines I've been getting lately. The current working theory is that I have some muscle issue in my neck, chest and shoulders. I've been doing a lot of physical therapy and have incorporated yoga and stregth training into my routine.

As part of my quest to get into shape, I bit the bullet and registered for the Breast Cancer 3 Day. I've been thinking of doing it for years, but all the excersice I was doing felt great and being a goal oriented person I decided to set a lofty goal. I'll be walking 60 miles over the course of three days starting on September 11.

I've started fundraising already and I'm proud to say that I've already reached 10% of my funraising goal. I have a super-cool project I worked on this weekend in order to help reach my goal. I'll have more on that later, but in the meantime if you feel so inclined please visit my fundraising website at: http://www.the3day.org/goto/sharon

We started the morning opening presents. He got an Xbox game and a DS game. He had lost his hand me down old-school DS last month, and so I told him that I'd forgotten he lost it and he'd just have to look for it. He was so gracious and thanked us anyway. He was soooo happy when he opened the last package and it was a brand new DS Lite.

Then we went to the Mariner's/Red Sox game. We had dinner at the swanky restaurant where you can over look the field and watch the warm up.

The HUGE piece of cake they gave Nathan for his birthday. It was bigger than his head, and even though we all ate a chunk, half was left when we were done:

With Aunt Karen (one of our closest friends, she's known Rick since they were 12). In this picture he had put a 3 dollar price tag on her and was shouting "Get you fresh hot Karen, only 3 dollars!!":

It was an awesome, fun day! Thanks for looking!

Look what I got!

Isn't it the coolest? I want a tattoo very similar to this, but don't know where to put it. So I had incredibly talented Etsy seller MorganAnne make me a necklace. It's perfect for a commitment-phobe like me. Check out her shop!

A little bit of spring in February

Thanks to Etsian tealtown for making me smile!

Oops I Did it Again!

I made a typo in the treasury title I created today. How embarrassing!

Anyway, I saw the cool ribbon barrettes and it made me wonder what else I could find that was inspired by the 80's. Etsy never fails to disappoint and I found everything from "Jem and the Holograms" necklaces to Care Bears pillowcase dresses. I picked my favorite (and the best photographed) to be featured in this treasury. Go check it out!

How cute is this?

I hope to feature shops/items that I think are swell as often as possible. I came across this adorable sock baby from chickabiddybaby and just had to show it to you all!

Click me to see the cute baby sock doll that Nate and Cate is currently obsessed with.

Show some Etsy love and blog about an item that *you* think is super cool!

Blogger is being difficult at the moment and won't let me add a picture, but trust me, it's freakin' cute. Go check it out. Go. Now. Do it!
