Shopping for a Cause...

The Etsy Angels held their first BNR 2 weeks ago and it was a roaring success - We had 85 sales... 47 of those sales will see a percentage being donated to Breast Cancer Awareness.

We are having our second and final one for Breast Cancer Awareness on Thursday, October 20th at 5:00pm Etsy time.

We would love to see lots of support for the Cause there... we will be posting our link in our thread when it becomes live.

Here are some of the items selected so far to begin the BNR.... you do not need to donate to buy in but all the Angel items in the beginning of the BNR will benefit the Cause.

Loving the Fall...

I love the fall.. the weather is beautiful and the scenery is amazing! I live in a wooded area and there are so many different colors to see. I was out walking around my yard this morning looking at what needed to be done before Old Man Winter sets in and saw all these amazing leaves:

Then on the way to see my Mom as I was driving down the road I took this one.. the county living is so nice:

Halloween is only a few weeks away and we are all getting into the swing of it... these are popular sights around here these days:

And there are pumpkins every wheres you look for sale:

And here are a few more interesting sights I saw today as I was on my way home from my errands....

This is a stunning example of the Waterman boys sculpting abilities... they won numerous awards in the last few years for ice and sand sculpting, so sad he is deteriorating - they lost their grandmother this week to cancer... she was so proud of them :

And this is a field across the road from my house... Canada Geese:

I hope you enjoyed my tour of our pretty autumn day here on Prince Edward Island!!!

Are You Thinking Pink?

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month!! Are you thinking about it, are you thinking Pink? The Etsy Angels certainly are...each October we raise funds that go towards Breast Cancer Awareness and this October is no different.

We are working on our Think Pink sections like this one in my shop. We are planning a BNR! Each shop will donate a percentage of their sales or a percentage of certain items in their shops to the cause.

We would love to have other shops join us in our Fundraiser and our BNR!!

We will be starting a new thread with our intentions for donations and all the shops that are participating. We will post each day the number of sales going to help the cause.

It is a super time and very gratifying to use our crafts to help this worthy cause... Be sure to drop in and see us.. you will find the link to our new thread at the end of this one: The Etsy Angels

Stay tuned to my blog and the Etsy Angels blog for more information as the time gets closer.

But most of all Think Pink and get your Mammogram!

Summer is Gone??? Where did it go?

Yes it is September and summer is gone again. It seems like only yesterday it was May!! The days are getting shorter, the nights cooler and the leaves are changing color.

My summer was busy for a number of reasons. One was that I spent a lot of it with my grandsons - son's MIL and I babysat the boys so they did not have to go to a sitter and I took a temporary position as a Supervisor.

I enjoyed both very much and hope to repeat it next year.

What did you do for the summer?

Well.... we helped the oldest grandson decorate and put his 4 wheeler in the local Fisheries Festival Parade. The theme was Support your Special Olympians... we have 2 in our community that took home medals. He even got to get in a bubble!

We took the boys camping in our new RV...we all had a blast. The baby was a darling - you would think he was home in his own bed.

We took the oldest grandson to the Stock car races and the Demolishion Derby at the Speedway. He got to go for a ride in a stock car and then his name was drawn to ride in the pace car for the Street Stocks.

These are just some shots of the Grandsons during the summer with us!

Oh and I bought my very first new car!! Still getting use to the size of it.. I went from a G6 sedan with a 6 cylinder motor to a very sporty looking Mazda 3 with a 4 cylinder motor.

Look out 2012 I have lots of plans for you... starting with taking May and June off from work... I am going to be a Lady of Leisure.
