Super huge thanks...

Super huge thanks to the awesome Nina of Model City Polish for sharing Polish All the Things for me.  Thanks to her share, I made my first sale on Etsy!  Huge day for me!  😃

I AM SO EXCITED!!!

I saw a live armadillo!

I saw a live armadillo on my way home from Munford yesterday evening. First time ever seeing one of those not run over. I thought it was a mini pig so I pulled over, then got close enough to tell it wasn't really a pig. Very neat. 🙂

Before I left Munford I got to check out my brother's new baby. It is an AR-15. He let me shoot it. I lost my hearing for about two seconds, but I'm ok now. I know that a lot of you don't like guns, but I do. I feel safer when I know I could easily protect myself if it came down to it. As cool as that gun was I think I will just stick with something small. I need a little handgun with a laser on it. I especially liked the laser sight. 😃

Went to Petco in Gadsden today and found a spider I wanted. Would have totally gotten it if it wasn't $150. It was on sale from $175. It was one that gets really large. Something with "bird eater" in the name, though they don't have to eat birds.

Tonight I am going to sit down and do my nails. I have completely neglected them for all of this polish jewelry stuff. 🙁 It's been over a month since I've done anything photo-worthy to them. 🙁 Since I haven't done my nails I haven't posted on Happy Nails and I don't really need to neglect that page if I still want to do nails (which I do). So, I'm going to try to make it a point to do nice things to my nails at least once a week.

On the polish jewelry - I haven't had any luck with my Etsy page yet. I know it's new and doesn't have a lot of stuff on it yet so I will give it time. I think I will make about two more weeks of stuff and then upload all of it and maybe pay for some cheap advertising to see if I can get it going. In the mean time, if you haven't liked / shared it you totally should do that for me. Here are the links:  Etsy and Facebook. Any extra money I can make in the summer helps out a lot because we're only working 4 days at SCM until August-ish. As much as I love the extra day off money gets tight - especially with so many mouths to feed and all that.

Anyway, off to pamper my nails! 🙂

Smaller earrings...

Smaller earrings (12mm) - and now I have studs!  I also have some more paisley in the works.  😃

These are some of my larger (18mm) earrings.

These are some of my larger (18mm) earrings.  Yes, I had Halloween on the brain.  LOL

The other polish ring I made the other day.

The other polish ring I made the other day.  I used my favorite color - Essie Demure Vixen.  If no one else likes this ring I might keep it for myself.  LOL

Two new rings.

Two new rings.  I have also done an ass ton of earrings, but I don't have time to post everything right now.  Maybe tonight or tomorrow.  🙂

I am especially proud of the koi fish.  I painted the colors in with a teensy brush.

This is Shaun right now.
