The Etsy Counter is Goofed Up....

FYI - Etsy has issued an announcement stating they're updating their systems (to improve the website they say). In the meantime, their updates have messed up the counters which track how many views each of the items have. I want to assure everyone that the items listed under the "100 Views Sale" ARE indeed 20% off. Ignore the views noted by Etsy. I know each of these items has over 100 views and still want to pass these great savings on to you :0). So, please check out this GREAT SALE and hopefully Etsy will have the site fixed soon!!

***Don't forget to check out the new Hammered Sterling Silver items listed today also....***

Thanks and have a great weekend!!
Blessings,

Fantasy Football Mania!!

I don't know how many of you have either participated in or been witness to the world of "Fantasy Football", but I experienced things last night that I've never seen before.....

First, let me say that I LOVE FOOTBALL!! I went to college in Indiana (years ago when Peyton Manning first became an Indianapolis Colt and they were HORRIBLE!!), so I am a die-hard Colts fan!! Naturally, my boyfriend thought me joining his Fantasy league was a must this season. (I think he felt bad for being glued to the TV (or multiple ones more often than not) for all of Sunday and Monday night. So, he thought if I was involved, it would solve everything. Smart guy!!).

I was completely unprepared for what I witnessed last night - grown men stressing out over who to select as their 1st pick, yelling, viewing pages of statistical print-outs, and high-fiving each other as if they were actually going to make the NFL plays themselves. They were like a bunch of school girls at a Barbie convention!! I've never seen anything like it!!

The best though was when I made my picks. On several occassions when I made my picks, I heard gut-wrenching, "Uugh!! That was going to be my pick",'s. It was like I stabbed them in the heart after I stole their dog or something. And I must admit - I liked it!! (Lets just say these guys didn't think a blonde with big boobs who works with mentally retarded people and makes jewelry during many sporting events would really know her football all that well). WRONG BOYS!!

Several lessons were learned from this.... The first being that men really do think they're Masters of their Universe (at least of picking a fantasy NFL team anyway). And it's cute! My boyfriend was so stressed out and focused that I couldn't help smile. The second lesson being that as long as you have a good pre-draft selection guide (AKA - cheat sheet) - you too can hang with the boys - and beat them. Hopefully they'll learn to never underestimate the determination of an equally stubborn, focused woman :0).

New Items Being Listed Now!!

An FYI - I will be listing new items in my Etsy store all this week!! (I've been recycling the current listings to make room for new Fall goodies). THANK YOU to everyone who took advantage of the 20% off sale!! There are still some great sales going on now in my store, so please stop by my shop's home page to check those out!! Have a great week!!
