Gift for a Friend


Just bought this tote bag from http://www.HautTotes.com. Can't wait to get it and to present it to my friend. She works in a casino so quite a few people will see it. Being diabetic she has to take sugar-free snacks with her to work and has been carrying them in a plastic sack so I thought a new tote would be a great Birthday present for her.
Update:
Received the tote bag, plus the cosmetic bag and they are beautiful. So if you are ever in need of a tote bag be sure to check out HautTotes shop on Etsy.

Another Etsy Supply Let Down


We have been ordering some of our jewelry supplies off of Etsy. I am beginning to think the sellers of supplies do no quality control when shipping out their items, if they were we wouldn't be receiving the crap that we have been. Take a look at the photo and see what we got for Vintaj charms, one isn't even antiqued, it is still in brass form. Now tell me, how are we suppose to make a beautiful pair of earrings out of mismatched metals! I sure wouldn't buy them if they looked like that!


We could understand if it was just 1 order that was messed up but it has been numerous orders that have been crap. Come on supply sellers, take pride in what you sell and do some much needed quality control.


Now we aren't saying every supply seller on Etsy sells crap, we just haven't found the ones that don't.


We have received some beautiful items and that tells me that, that seller takes pride in their items and wants their customers to get what they paid for without having to go through the hassle of having to send them back and wait for the returns.

Track Star


Relay


Long Jump

Our daughter decided to try out for track this year. So every weekend we are off to another town to watch her. It was rough the first few weeks as they got ready for their first meet. She wasn't doing very well at the beginning but now has really improved and I think by the time she gets to the end of the season she will be a track star!
