Day #21

Well the show was kind of a success. I didn't do spectacular, but i did actually make a little money at this one, so   it was definitely much, much better than the last few i did. I gotta bust out a ton this week for the Rock N rummage show next friday in Ypsi and also make those special order bottlecaps for Great Lakes Watch Co. And then i think i'm done for the season. I might check into a show closer to Xmas, but all in all in think from now on i'm working on updating my shop and building up stock for next year so i'm not so crazy.

Day #20

So I follow Christopher Moore on twitter and I'm his fan on FB and of course i subscribe to his blogs on myspace - basically i'm a big giant cyber stalker cuz i love his work. Well today he featured someone else's writing in his blog - AND HE'S A MICHIGANDER!!!!

Mike Spradlin - and I totally want his book, It's beginning to look alot like Zombies: A book of Zombie Christmas Carols

Day #19

so tired today. I'm quite sure the crappy weather is to blame and NOT the fact that i didn't get to sleep until sometime around 7AM (*SHUSH*). I did sleep until 1:30PM, so i got a decent amount of sleep, but i wanted more. And since I don't usually drink coffee around the house, i am dragging today. If i get my bottlecaps done tonight i will be SO lucky!!!

So super quick post just to say hi cuz i gotta glue the images in the caps and pour them full of resin and HOPE they dry in time *crosses fingers and toes*

xoxoxox

Day #18

I"m so excited! I got an email today from the guy i spoke with in Livonia and he wants an order of 60 bottlecaps!!! YAY!!!! of course i gave him a super discount so i'm not making nearly the money i would make if it were retail, but most of them are gonna be giveaways for his company anyway. And it gets my product out there in a different way! So maybe someone else will see them and want some for themselves!! YAY!!!

Day #17

So the guy that I talked to at the Livonia Elks show emailed me regarding making some bottlecaps for his business. So i made a couple mockups (I love Photoshop) and sent them back to him. Just waiting on his reply. I think they look awesome, but then I'm partial to my work.

I also ordered some holiday images from an etsy seller instead of working on gleaning images and making them myself cuz frankly my puter is running so slow lately it's driving me insane. We really need to update it - or upgrade. I WISH we could get into that $1200 deal at Best Buy where you get the desktop, laptop and netbook with Windows 7, but that's a pipe dream. We can't even spend $12 on a new puter right now.

Day #16

So we were supposed to try and get tickets tonight for Evil Dead the Musical, but money is really really tight right now and even tho the tix are only $10 each we just can't afford anything extra. Especially since hubby didn't get paid again on Monday like he's supposed to. I'm just gonna have to start planning for Tuesday to be his payday and budget accordingly. 1 day shouldn't make that much of a difference, but it does when you're pretty much living from paycheck to paycheck. Those due on dates don't always fall nicely where you need them. So there's alot of creative balancing going on in our household. Seriously I forget what it's like to have a disposable income.

Day #15

really - why do i even bother???

Once again the Lions lost. I know we have 1 win on the season, but i really was expecting a little more from them. Plus it would have been REALLY nice to kick Brett Favre's azz in his Minnesota purple uniform. Our defense did a good job getting to him tho. They really stepped it up. And Stafford's looking good. He's still underthrowing C. Johnson (really - some of the passes were below his knees - C. Johnson's over 6 feet tall - throw HIGHER!!!) but he had nice presence in the pocket and didn't panic under pressure.
