Harmony Park Safari

So this past weekend we went to the Harmony Park Safari. My husband posted about it a few days ago.  I grew up in Huntsville and did not even know the place it existed.   Of course you probably would not want to go in a luxury vehicle since the animals do have a tendency to bump up against your vehicle.   It was a fun experience and my best friends kids seemed to enjoy it.   They had a blast.   If you live in the Huntsville area it is worth the drive to the south end of town to check it out.

Trying something new

I am trying something new over at my recipe and food related blog.    As I was sitting here thinking of something to post on my personal blog I came up with the idea of posting some of my favorite cooking websites and having the readers send in their favorite recipes and or websites  and I will post them on the recipe blog.

20th High School Reunion

Has it really been that long since I posted something? I guess it has. I really have not had that much to say lately.  Hopefully that will change soon.  Summer is here and it is hot already.  Guess I will try harder to keep this thing updated.   Just recently had my 20th High School Reunion.  It was a lot of fun.   I still have a hard time believing it has been that long.

Networking and Craft Fairs

Well I had a good showing at the Madison Street Festival earlier this month.  I had quiet a few custom orders and I am currently working on two more as we speak.  I also have an opportunity to do a craft show this weekend.  It was a last minute thing but I am so glad to be able to get into it on Saturday.   It is called Holiday House and is held at a local church.  A friend of my mothers told me about it.   So please come see me on Saturday at Southwood Presbyterian church on Carl T Jones dr in Huntsville.   On another note I have found a relatively new social networking site dedicated to beaders.   I think it is awesome that someone would create a social networking site just for beaders.  It is like myspace combined with ebay.   You can sell your Jewelry for free on there.   Another social networking site for crafters same concept.  Social networking and you can sell your Jewelry for free again.   I am still trying to find my way around both sites as they are relatively new.  

Where has September gone?

I was just looking at the Calendar the other day and realized just how close we are to some major holidays.   I have been working on getting some stock for my store and also for the Madison Street Festival next weekend.  I will most likely be working from now until friday.  I will also have some Christmas themed jewelry out as well.   If I don't update much between now and the street festival that is why.

It is a crafty weekend

Today the hubby and I went to the Monte Sano Art Show.   I had never been before.  It was nice to see something different.  It was a nice weekend to do that.  I also walked around to the Jewelry booths so I could see what kind of pieces the artists were showing.   All of the jewelry I saw was different and Unique.   Tomorrow is also the last day for the NEACA craft show.  This is one the larger craft shows that we have in the area.  I plan to go tomorrow to see some more jewelry.  Last summer I picked up beading and making my own jewelry.  I am also in preparation for my first craft show in two weeks.  I will have a booth at the Madison Street Festival.   I am looking forward to it with anticipation.

Chris Pirillo's tips on good blogging

So I have been following Chris Pirillo for a few years now since we attended his Gnomedex Conference in Des Moines Iowa in 2002.  In fact we went to 3 of his Gnomedex Conferences 2 were in Iowa which was really nice because we only lived 3 hours away.  The thrid one we attended was in Lake Tahoe which was a lot of fun.   Anyway, back to my point.  Chris has been blogging for years and has always had some good tips for his readers and this one is no exception.   I think he is does a good job of finding new content to post on a daily basis.  I really wonder how he does it.   I have been blogging on and off since 2002 and find myself having a hard time finding something worthy to blog about.  I love blogging just have trouble finding content.
