So unbelievably tired this evening.

So unbelievably tired this evening. And I have an all day show tomorrow at Logan Landing in Alpine. It's their Pumpkin Hollow Festival and it looks fun. But I'm SO tired. I can't even look forward to it right now. 😕

I am ready to have a weekend off. An ENTIRE weekend. I'm having so much fun at the festivals, but I think I've only missed one or two weekends in the last 3 months. I'm also still behind on getting things up on Etsy. I just feel so worn out right now. I think I need to hibernate. LOL

Craft friends who use Etsy...

Craft friends who use Etsy... I don't think I know very many of you (like, 2 are coming to my brain), but I'm posting a status anyway:

Have you seen the new Etsy card readers?  I guess they came out today and I signed up right away.  Apparently, the sale fee is the same as Square, BUT, if you're working a craft show, Etsy will automatically take whatever you sell out of your shop's inventory, so there is no worry about selling more than you have.  At this point I'm not selling a huge bunch of stuff no matter where I am, but I slightly worry about selling something I don't have since I do have OOAK pieces listed on Etsy.  This sounds like it would eliminate me trying to remove items with my freakin' cell, rush home to do inventory, or put my shop into vacation mode when I have a show coming up.  Woo!

Also, when it sends the customer a receipt it sends images from your shop, kind of like a little bit of promotion after the fact.  And Etsy also doesn't charge the other fee it normally charges when you sell on their site.  It seems like a pretty sweet deal and I haven't found a down-side yet.  Is anyone else going to try it?

P. S.  If you have a shop leave me a link so I can find you.  ❤

Lots of screams...

Lots of screams coming from the The Terrortorium tonight. They could really be chainsawing people in half for all I know. LOL

Got another Etsy sale today...

Got another Etsy sale today and now this ring has a home. Y'all have no idea how much it makes my day when that happens. I could die of excitement. 😃😃😃

In case you somehow missed it, my shop is www.Etsy.com/shop/PolishAllTheThings

My Emma J. is the sweetest.

My Emma J. is the sweetest. Her food is in the room next to where we all hang out, so when she wants to be with us, but also wants to eat she gets a mouth full of food, comes and spits it in the floor of the room where we are, and then eats the bits one at a time. Sometimes she doesn't quite make it back in here without eating it, so she runs back out for another mouth full. LOL This is how she eats almost every night. I guess she gets her exercise in with dinner. LOL 

But seriously, would anyone other than a dog trouble themselves so much just to be in the same room with you? Generally speaking - I think not. Doggies are the best. ❤

I think I need to get a video of this. 🙂

Emma and I are in agreement...

Emma and I are in agreement that it is NOT COOL when lotion and candles don't taste as good as they smell. It is so misleading.

It's been a pretty long time since I've posted anything regarding rehab efforts.

It's been a pretty long time since I've posted anything regarding rehab efforts.  I have distanced myself from the whole rehabbing thing since I can't easily obtain a permit in my district.  I don't want to do anything that's not lawful and have it end in an innocent animal losing it's life because of me.  I couldn't live with that.

HOWEVER, I also can't look the other way when I see someone in danger.  I went to Wal-Mart and this is what I came back with.  I'm going to call him Wally while he's with me.

I parked my car, looked ahead, and saw this huddled mass out in the aisle, where the cars drive.  Right as I looked up, he was narrowly missed by a huge truck.  Instincts kicked in, I didn't even know what it was before I got there, but I already knew I was picking it up.

Since I was totally unprepared I didn't have a glove or a kennel or anything with me, but this baby didn't even hiss.  I think he (or she, I haven't bothered to check) was pretty petrified.  Since I needed greens for my lizards I just stuck him in my car, ran in, got what I needed in a hurry, and came back.

Baby is resting now.  I haven't seen any obvious signs of injury, but he's really dirty.  I have offered water, but he hasn't drank yet.  He looks old enough to be on his own, so if he seems ok I'll let him loose ASAP.  If he's not ok I'll take him to AMC so that he can be transported to the wildlife center in Birmingham (or humanely euthanized if that is what's best).

I'm betting he crawled up in a car for warmth like cats do.  I can't think of any other logical explanation for why he would be in the middle of a Wal-Mart parking lot in the daytime like that.  Poor thing.
