We Reached 100 Sales on Etsy!!

Yesterday Anthony and I got our 100th sale! Woot! Our sales have slowed down a lot this month, I am not really sure why that is but we are not all that disappointed as we happen to be super busy with the court and custody stuff going on right now anyways. 

I am so thrilled that we reached 100 sales though it feels like a huge victory and to have reached it this soon, blows my mind. Our shop has only been open for 4 months! I just LOVE making crayons and coming up new ideas! 
I really want to launch my Halloween line that I have been working on, but I can not at this time because it is too rainy, and I take all my pics outside :[ Serious bummer. It has been raining EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. for about 3 weeks now here in Florida. There are few days where it does not rain but even on those days it has been very cloudy and the pictures that I have taken, have come out much too dark. So for now, we are sitting on it and hopping the rain will go away and the sun will come out, but there may be no Halloween line this year.

Now about our 100th sale! 

 It was for a 24 pack of these marbled star crayons. 

We will be writing them a special note and giving them a free gift. 
In the note to the seller it stated that these are going to be given out to students in the customers daughter's classroom as fun gifts.
I really hope they all enjoy them!

Happy 21st Birthday to me!

I know it is Sunday and posting this today kinda invalidates my Silent Sunday, but this was supposed to be posted yesterday and I didn't have time :]

Yesterday was my 21st birthday.

I spent the first part of my birthday at my house on the Internet. But later that day my sister convinced me to go out. We went to Hobby Lobby and I bought crafts for the time at Anthony's house I will spend before Bear comes. Then we went to Outback Steakhouse and spent WAY too much money on one meal lol. Afterward we went to her house and watched Paranorman. That movie was... ODD, but cute at the same time, I enjoyed it. Afterward we went to Wal-Mart and I stocked up on some food for the next 3 weeks. It was a good day. I do wish Anthony was there with me though :[ I did not go to Kissimmee because Anthony got a schedule change at his work, so now he is working all through the weekend and if I went to see him we would only spend 5 hours together over the corse of 4 days, so I have decided to stay here at my house for the next 3 weeks and then head over to Kissimmee for 2 months.

Most people spend their 21st birthday partying and drinking. Not me. Of course I can't drink cuz I'm pregnant but even if I wasn't I don't think I would have. I do not feel any different now that I am 21. I feel the same as I did a week ago. Are you supposed to feel different? I know I felt different when I turned 19 and 20 for that matter. But 21? Nope, I feel the same.

My birthday also marks a year since I have talked to my dad's wife. She actually called me yesterday, well my little sister did but she was in the background and she did say Happy Birthday, but to be honest it sounded forced. I am not sure she wanted to talk to me or say Happy Birthday at all. I was hoping for my dad to hang out with my sister and I but he couldn't because she would not let him. It seems like she is trying to pry herself back into my life, but I am not so sure I am ready to let her back in yet. She has been out of my life for a whole year and I like it that way. It is a lot less stressful. We will see what this next year brings.
Not the best picture ever. But me at Outback on my 21st B-Day.
