I did it! My shop is open. I will continue to add things as I finish them but, I can mark one of my things off my “one day I will” to do list.

I just need one more day to load my Etsy shop. I am technically ready, but since I waited until evening to take the photos of the stuff, they don’t look the greatest. I really don’t enjoy the attached flash on my camera. Great in a pickle, but not so great when doing stuff like this. So, I would prefer to take the photos in the natural light tomorrow, as I did for the photo above. Those were the Coffee Cozies I sent off to Charlotte.
In the meantime, the shop is ready. Although the little intro blurb I wrote the other night didn’t save, so I will have to go back in a put it up again. Take a look, let me know what you think. Life is Good … At the Beach .
All I had to do was sing that one line to Hubby and he remembered the song. Thank you for all of you that put “Tubthumping” by Chumbawamba in my head, I have been singing that one most of the day. Which isn’t all bad, it helped keep me awake.
Yes, so Tom Cochrane, he is a Canadian who grew to fame with the band Red Rider back in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. “Human Race” was actually released in 1983. Which is why I remembered it as an old song. I feel much older realizing how young I was when that song was playing on the radio.
Tom Cochrane was in Ottawa recently for a concert with another favorite artist of mine, John Mellencamp. Unfortunately Hubby and I missed that concert and are still upset about it as Tom Cochrane is actually touring with Red Rider again. Oh and how could I forget. Tom Cochrane is the one who wrote and originally sang “Life is a Highway” which is featured in the movie “Cars“.
Ok, so there is my trivia for today. I am wiped due to two kids who were awake most of the night last night and not at the same time. I will be officially introducing my Etsy shop tomorrow, Yay!
edited to add: I had a You Tube video up, but it totally messed up my page. Not sure how to shrink those suckers down.
