You Know You Want To...
show my articles some love that is.
My first three articles are up on HandmadeNews.org! Have you read them yet? If you haven't please hop on over and take a peek. Vote 'em up and leave a comment! I'd love to hear from you!
Monday's article will be a great recipe for homemade dog treats. Kato, my dog pony, tested them thoroughly and agrees that the recipe is a winner. Thanks, Kato!
Also, be sure to visit my friend and fellow columnist, Heather Mewis', articles. She working on an exciting one for next week that will help you identify your crafting personality. It's sure to be a hoot.
In fact, after you read my articles take a peek at all of the great articles on HandmadeNews.org. You'll get lots of tips and tricks, inspiration and insight, and, as always, a chuckle or two from the Just For Fun department. We do what we can to lighten the mood.
Thanks for your support!

Updates Galore
You'd think that when you put up a bunch of updates to auto-update that they'd actually do said task and not just disappear. Apparently, I was mistaken.
So, faithful blog readers, I do apologize, because I thought you had been reading my updates and alas, no such updates have been posting. Please don't stop following. I love you all. Really. Even the snarky one who thinks he knows more about exercising than me. You know who you are, snarky man. Ha!
Let's see... the MS Walk was this past Sunday and Team Gym Mama raised well over $400. Go us! It was also nice to see and chat with two friends that I went to high school with who I haven't seen since high school. Seriously, I don't think we've changed that much at all. Which is actually a good thing.
Oh, and I got a new pair of headphones to work with my cell phone! Wahoo! Except that I woke up in the middle of the night and realized that they're just earphones. No microphone piece. Laugh all you want. Actually, it is pretty funny and I chuckle every time I think about it. So, we've decided, my mom and I that is, that we'll just put the phones on speakerphone. Like that shouldn't have been our first option, right? I luck out in the deal, because I'll be slaving away in the basement alone on the treadmill and she'll actually be out in the open. It's going to look like she's talking to herself. Poor mom. I suggested that maybe my dad could go with her. You know, drive alongside her drinking his coffee in the golf cart while she walks. Moral support; it's the foundation of their marriage.
Another big wahoo, because I was selected to be a columnist for HandmadeNews.org! I'll be posting in the "Just For Fun" section and now I'm having anxiety that I'm not anywhere near fun enough to be posting in a "fun" section. What's a girl to do? I'll let you know when I post articles so you can all zoom on over and read them. It will be the highlight of your day. Well, after reading my snarky humor here anyway. Oh, and more importantly, you'll be able to buy ad space on my page! That's a BIG wahoo! You don't need to be in the handmade community for ad space either. So, if you sell something like, oh I don't know, let's say pepper spray (*wink, wink* to the hometeam!), for example, you could post an ad! "Stay safe while doing craft shows - Tase 'Em!" See? This column will be a piece of cake.
I know there's more I had to share with you, but I have to head out to work. I'll ramble more tomorrow. Thanks for reading, and again, apologies for the missed days.

Craft ADD
I had to laugh at myself today. Okay, I do that quite a bit, but today took the cake.
I was thinking about Handmade News and writing an article about crafting ADD. It's a serious affliction, you know. Well, before 10am I had cut a new batch of soap, boiled eggs for Easter egg decorating, took pictures and created a Crinkly Baby Block of Power (see the pretty picture below), and rearranged the entire living room.
My dining room table has the remainders of my frantic need to create. It's funny really. The table is heaped in fabric, buttons, thread, paper and items I don't even know the name of. Serious Craft ADD. And here I am, sitting at the computer desk, with my back to the dining room.
Thankfully, Mr. Gym Mama doesn't come home for an hour. That gives me time to clean up, shower, get the kids ready for Grandma's and pretend none of this happened. What a mess.
Oh, and to top things off, I hit "Enter" instead of shift when I was working on the Handmade News application and sent the application in without some very important things. Like my name and contact information. Lovely.
