Zazzle Store

Posted by Ellybean

I just opened up a store on my site to feature certain categories for each season we are currently in. It feels like I’ve spent all day dabbling with PHP and HTML but it was worth it. My site needed a little tweeking here and there.  I also had to delete almost all of my holiday products so my coding would run right… it was an issue to deal with the folders in Zazzle ( ugh) it’s taken care of now for the most part. I haven’t put all my old products back on yet but I’ll get around to it… I am sure no one is in a rush to by Valentines Day designs yet!

After Labor Day

Posted by Ellybean

Busy weekend!  I got art done today which was really  nice. Melody is getting better at napping alone and playing by herself…so it’s been a blessing in my art/design world.

How was everybody’s Labor Day Weekend? Ours over here went well. We did not really have any big plans and we didn’t get together with family because well I am sure they had other plans. On Saturday, we headed up to Portland to go to the Ikea store! I love Ikea! I purchased myself a computer desk named Mikael … I got the red and white one and my husband decided to get a black and white one for himself. We currently blessed a friend of ours too with one of the older computer desks that we had ( which someone had given us when we were married). It nice to be able to get new things and bless others with what you don’t need or want anymore. Speaking of that, I still am going through alot of clothes to give away to local clothing closets… some of my clothes I’ve had since I was 13… I figure it’s time to dress my age now… lol … plus, I’m growing accustomed to my own new style too ( shopped the Chadwicks outlet yesterday…great deals on great clothes!).

Brb… diaper change time! …

Pumpkin Fairy!

Posted by Ellybean

This design was done by my sister Fawn! Doesn’t it look wonderful? I am so proud of her drawing skills and she’s done great by taking it into the digital world! I couldn’t be more proud!

I’ll talk later possibly… heading to a friend’s house warming party now.

The scales that caught my eye was the digital postal scale. As for being a graphic designer, one day I want to be able to make my own designs for selling t-shirts and more and scale like that would come in handy for sure as I always don’t have time to run things over to the post office!

Thrown off Schedule

Posted by Ellybean

Ah.. days when family visits or we visit them, Melody gets so thrown off her schedule. I only hope it doesn’t take to long to get back into the swing of things. She didn’t want to go to bed last night at her usual time so Melody and I ended up on the couch all night. I got maybe 2-3 hours of sleep. Sometimes, I wonder how I can live off that much sleep! I know on Sunday little Melody was enjoying visiting with everyone but I know it wore her out alot… Imagine people picking us up and tossing us from person to person and then being in a whole new place too… that’s gotta be in the least bit overwhelming to anybody!

I’m washing laundry today… I put art to the side just for today… somehow staring at the computer screen with little sleep didn’t seem at all appealing to me. I’ve been working on Fall/Halloween designs for my Zazzle store. Yesterday, I created a sweet little spider and tomorrow I plan on working on cute little ghost!

This evening I plan on going to the Clothing/Toy Swap at our church. Melody will be  needing 3-6 months to 6-9 months clothes. I hope to snag some nice and warm things… I wonder how much girl stuff there will be since I know there’s a lot of boy babies in the church. I’ll be sure to blog about it tomorrow.

Okay, the only reason I headed to the mall today was for one specific thing and then I find out when I get there they only carry it online! So much for trying to save money in the shipping department!I did happen to get two over jackets to wear over my dresses when it’s cooler though. I still haven’t quite gotten used to all the rain and cool weather being from Georgia and all.  I’m looking forward to the fall weather though as it’s pretty hot lately and without full AC it’s been rather uncomfortable…especially in the computer/office room where I tend to get most of work done!

I need to get someone to take better pictures of me and my daughter together… the picture above was taken by me… but it took several attempts to get us both in the picture… lol … My husbands friend should be doing a photo shoot of our daughter pretty soon. I can’t wait to get it scheduled.

Bleeding out the Ear

Posted by Ellybean

I’m wondering why my husbands ear is bleeding. He hasn’t stuck anything in there at all. I am pondering if it’s the fact that’s he listens to his ipod all day at work… and maybe that it’s up to loud and possibly damaging his ear drums. Despite the fact he got hired the health insurance doens’t kick in for a month. Pray this problem resolves itself or something…. I do know bleeding out the ear can’t be good for you!

A Few Blessings of the Week

Posted by Ellybean

TGIF? It’s been a good week and I am very much pleased with that. I got a bit of art done, I upgraded my wardrobe ( it was much needed), I’ve been getting together baby things to swap at church, my husband got hired at his job… all in all a good week.

I’ll probably blog more later to let you know how my day goes but I wanted to get that little tidbit in before Melody wakes up this morning.
