My 9 year old just entered the 4th grade at a new school this year. He told me last night he now has a girlfriend. Now, mind you, he's had "girlfriends" all through school so far but this one made him blush when he talked about her last night. She even gave him her phone number.
I remember bits and pieces of my 4th grade year (at a new school too) and remember Friday nights at the skating rink and skating with boys on the slow skate. It made me realize my "baby" is not a baby anymore even though he is only 9 years old. It's all innocent enough for now but I'm sure I will wake up sooner than I think and he'll be through college and getting married.
Time flies by too quickly, cherish your children everyday. Someday they won't be there every morning looking for school books, lunch money and snacks.
Have a great day!

Christmas is in the air......
Did you know that there are only 120 days until Christmas? WOW, it will be here before we know it. I hear some stores are already displaying artificial trees and we haven't even entered the fall/winter season yet.
On that note, for all of us crafters, it's time to get started on those gifts that we so desperately want to make and get out on time. I never got to finish mine last year with a rush of custom orders last winter. Sounds like a Labor Day weekend project!

Etsy vs Ebay - Close my eBay store or not
Ok, I am going to toss a coin in the next few weeks to decide if I shut down my eBay store.
I recently made PowerSeller on eBay, however, to keep a store full of inventory is costing me more and more every month with all the fee increases. Then on top of that, why have a store when you don't get hit in searches nearly as easy as having auctions, which then adds more expenses.
Hmph, decisions, decisions. I just don't know. Exposure is the key yet where do you draw the line to justify all the expenses. It's all cheaper than a brick and mortar store but as a part-time side business, I'm exhausting my profits to pay for fees these days it seems.
