New Earrings

I am still waiting to hear back from a couple of people who won earrings from my "contest" or earring giveaway. I thought it would be nice to post the names, so you can see that there were actually winners. ;) If I have their forum screen name that is what I am posting, otherwise I am posting their first name.

It appears there are winners both from the Sonlight forum and the Homeschool Library forum. I look forward to getting these done over the next couple of days and slipping them in the mail by Saturday. So be sure and check back for pictures soon. I will photograph them so you can all see what they won.

The winners are:

Nettiville (Janette)

Congratulations to you all! I will be doing another giveaway in a month or two. Hope you all had fun and thank you all for the great input and suggestions. I loved reading your responses.

Earring Giveaway

Yes, today is the day my children got to pull five names out of the hat to see who would get the free earrings. I have contacted the winners and am waiting to see how they want their names listed before listing them here. I will also be posting pictures of what I make them so check back. Hope to have them done and listed in a couple days.

I am sorry if you didn't win a pair. I will do this again sometime. May even give some bracelets or a necklace away. Should we have a poll?

What is new?

I love these colors. Just can't seem to get enough of these wonderful blue and dark aqua colors. I am staying up way to late and having way too much fun.

We start them early!

If you are looking for the earring give-away. Please scroll down. It is still going on until March 7th.






I caught these pictures yesterday. She started off at the bookshelf and it was so cute to see her sitting there "reading" that I just had to grab the camera. Of course it wasn't so cute picking up all the books she pulled off of the shelf in a span of 5 minutes. I had to stop eating my Bon Bons, get up, and put them away.

She loves writing too. Her favorite thing to do lately is to lay down on the floor and "write" like her big sisters.

It thrills my heart that she is so interested in books already. We do have to keep all pencils hidden when we are not closely watching her, because she likes them both at the same time and that can become a disaster. She is my FIRST child to write in a book. Yes! Out of four she is the only one.

SHE - Schooling at Home Etsians

I am so excited about a new venture. I just sent an email off to Etsy (on line market where I sell my jewelry) yesterday to officially start a home school team on Etsy. Basically, teams are groups of people sharing a common bond that join together to support one another in whatever way they decide. I thought how nice it would be to join together the home schooling moms that sell their items on Etsy. This is a great way to support our fellow home educators.

Many, if not most, of us are in single income homes and we are just doing whatever we can to help out. For some, selling their products might make the difference between having books and curriculum for the next school year, or not. I am just starting to think about the books I need for next year. I will begin to put money aside for them now or we won't be getting them. I am so grateful for the talents God has given me and it feels good to be using them again.

So... look under my jewelry pictures on the sidebar and you will see our Etsy Team's items. This is just a sample from each persons shop. If you click on the item you will go directly to their shop. We will continue to grow and so check back often. We also have a blog where we will have give aways and information about the various members of our team. If you are interested in seeing the blog you can find it here.

Well, better get to work or I won't have anything new to show for my time.
