The kids and I pet a tiger today!

I got a note home in Keely's backpack about a fundraser where the kids can take a picture with a tiger cub for $18 per 5X7 photo. A bit pricey for my likes, but how often do you get to take a picture with a baby tiger? So, I wrote Keely a check. Colin didn't have a note, so I assumed that pre-k wasn't able to do it.

I picked Colin up from school today and one of the other mums said how she has three kids in school and it broke her checkbook. I asked if I could run home to grab a check so Colin could have his picture taken also. They said it was okay, so I zipped over and within a few minutes were in line for the tiger. Colin took his picture and the tiger was the most adorable thing. He was 3 months old and his name was Zeus :) The principal walked over and said that she had noticed that only Keely had money, so she pulled Colin out of class and they took a picture together. How wonderful was that of her???

SSSOOOOO..... I have a picture of Colin alone and the kids together.

I've officially started selling!

Since my website won't be up for a bit...
I decided to put some of my goodies for sale on Etsy.


www.MarcisCraftyCorner.etsy.com

So far it's going great! It's been up for 4 days and I've sold 3 items!!! I'm giddy with excitement!!!

Locks of Love

For a few reasons, I cut off Keely's hair. Well, 7" worth of hair. Although the hair isn't long enough to make a wig for Locks of Love, it is long enough for them to sell and use the money to off-set costs. I should have researched this BEFORE I cut the hair.....

Henceforth, I SHALL BE CALLED....

I still have to make the website... but I picked a name!

Owly Goodness Part 2

Someone in the Owl Swap was flaked on. I stepped in and crafted a second set of Owly Goodness. She asked for practical and useful items. This is what I came up with.
A large tote

A pillow (I loved the first, so I had to do a second!)

A Notebook

A Wallet

Lastly is a heat/cold rice pack. I love these, and use mine frequently!

A Challenge...

This is a challenge that I am putting out there for anyone who would like to participate. The winner of the challenge will get any handmade item of their choice.

I need a name to sell my crafts. The name has to have an open domain (www.name.com)

Thanks to anyone who helps!!! I just can't seem to come up with anything :(

Owly Goodness!!!
