Etsy Chat forum.. Trade room

I have to say that I LOVE the trade room in the etsy chat forum. I've gotten some cool stuff. one time I spent 3 hours in that room talking to people and trading . One trading buddy is in Rhode Island. Since i am in Massachusetts we get our trades the day after we send them :) I trade mostly for pendents or something I can reuse to make jewelry.
I received a purple shell pendent and a glass sea horse pendent from http://UnexpectedTreasure.etsy.com
A fairy pendent from http://AllThatGlittersbyKML.etsy.com
and magnets from http://glamazon08.etsy.com

Coming back soon

I neglected my blog for too long. i will be back soon :)

being 30

well being 30 so far isn't all that great. i did nothing on the 9th ( my bday). on the morning of my dinner with friends and my boyfriend, my step dad call me and says that my mom is back in the hospital because they found a tumor in her brain. my mom means a lot to me. so after crying for about 20 minutes , i called her at the hospital. shes doing ok. shes in the top rated hospitals in Florida. so that eases my mind a little since i'm in Massachusetts. shes going to have surgery on Thursday so the doctor can find out what kind of tumor it is. i am so scared. i'm trying to stay strong for her but i worry. i cant lose my mom.
i tried to have fun at dinner but all i could think of was my mom. so i had to fake fun. my friends didn't even know about my mom. i didn't want them to feel down. but the meal was good. Olive Garden is always good. we received free deserts from the manager because we had to wait a little longer for our meal, and i got a free piece of cheese cake since it was my birthday.... no clapping birthday song..YAY. they cant do that anymore. i am so glad i chose the olive garden.....lol

New Soaps

I just made a mold to make my new Inspirational Soaps. the mold is 4 1/4" x 2 1/2". i had to make it because there was no way i was going to pay for the crazy shipping. and the molds i was looking at were too small. when all else fails, do it your self :)
my new molds are going to have inspirational quotes. the clear soap will be on top and the white soap will be on the bottom with the vellum quotes in the middle. i have 13 soap packs of 3. below are the quotes- as is. they are $6 for 3. hopefully i will have a bunch made soon. click here to go to my Etsy shop.
