This year Halloween was extra special because I Mom flew in that day. She has never been here for Halloween so it was a treat for all of us.<br />
<br />
Halloween night we have a tradition, going back about 6 years now, we make mummy dogs for dinner.<br />

Thanks for stoppin' by!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6867124872481702120.post-1675230504960857752016-11-10T03:15:00.003-08:002016-11-10T03:26:42.690-08:00Exciting News!!!Well, as you may know I dream of owning a little shop. I often look at the classifieds and dream of the different building and what I could do with them. The Ladder (our new community center) building was always one I dreamt of, I'm so glad that someone did something with it. <br />
<br />
I came across a building for sale in my town, which I couldn't afford, it said it had 9 units. I wondered if any of the spaces were available to rent so I took a little drive. I talked to one of the tenants and was informed that one of them was available and the owner worked 2 doors down. I talked to the owner for a minute and he opened it up so I could take a look.<br />
<br />
It was only about a week later that I had the keys in my hand. <br />

Ok, see that drawer? That is a little miracle right there. LOL I salvaged that drawer along with others from a house in N. Muskegon. I built the frame and then as an after thought, wondered if one the drawers would fit. IT FIT EXACTLY!! That my friend is a little DIY miracle.<br />

I always tell my kids you never know unless you try!! This time I took my own advice!<br />
<br />
I think one of the worst feelings is regret, to wish you
would have taken the leap and then missed your chance. I don't know
what the future holds and no matter happens at least I will have tried!!<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Even though we live in Michigan we don't make it up to the UP very often. In fact it's been ten years since we were there last. Lochlan was only two and the girls had never been. John wasn't able to join us for this trip, didn't get the time off! 🙁 One of the biggest reasons we went was a family reunion on my mother's side, Thomas Family Reunion. My Mom flew in to GR two days before we headed up. It was fun! The kids were bouncing off the walls with excitement. It had been over a year since they had seen my mom, basically their first time over the big bridge and a little vaca to the Yoop. </span></div>

I hadn't seen my Aunt Betty and Uncle Don in ages. So we headed over to their newly rebuilt lake cottage. It was gorgeous!! The girls begged me if they could go in the water. It wasn't the best weather but they didn't care. </div>

I didn't realize it until we were there but this was really the first time my kids have swam in an inland lake. I guess we're spoiled with the big lake and the ocean. So the girls really acted like girls when it was time to go in. Ewww, it's so squishy mommy! lol honestly I really didn't blame them. I'm not a huge fan of slimy lake bottoms. </div>

Next I wanted to take the kids to visit some really special people. So we went to Holy Cross Cemetery in Marquette. There are quite a few Flanigan's laid to rest there but I wanted my children to meet two inparticular. My Grandpa & Gramma Flanigan, my Mom's parents. </div>

I thought stringing light around would not only be useful but pretty and the second you turn them on it's like a party.<br />
<br />
I get a lot of Home Depot gift cards and I try to save them up just for projects like this.<br />

That way if you didn't cut exactly straight you won't be able to tell. <br />
<br />
Then, I drilled a hole about 2" down from the top and screwed in the hooks. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(make sure to use a smaller bit than your hook size)</span><br />
<br />
Next, I put them in the planters. They're top heavy so I placed a couple of rocks inside. I spray painted them and let them dry. Then flipped them around to do the other end. <br />

Just in case this isn't obvious, please wear some sort of mask to keep the dust away. This is an add water concrete so you really don't want to be breathing in the dust. Don't I look so cute? haha Safety first!!<br />
<br />
Next, I poured about half a bag into the planter. Then it's just a matter of adding the water. I wanted this to set pretty quick so I added water then mixed and added some more if I needed it. Being careful not to make it too runny. I used a pry bar to mix. It was very thick and took a little muscle to incorporate all of the dry mix from the bottom but I got er done!<br />

Once that is done, quickly grab the pipe and push it down to the center and bottom of the planter. I used a long level to make sure that both sides of the pipe were plum. I held it for a couple of minutes. I then laid the level across the top to help keep it from moving (shown in pic). This quikrete is very quick setting, hence the name. It was very hard within 25 mins. Then I just repeated the process 4 more times. I didn't take long at all.<br />

After everything was dry I moved them to where I wanted and just strung up the lights. To secure it to the hooks I just wrapped it around once and went on to the next one. Really simple. </div>

Then, I added some sand from our sand box b/c I didn't want to pay for all that potting soil. I filled it with sand about a foot from the top. Then filled the rest with potting soil. </div>

Right when we got home we starting cleaning out our pool. This little guy was at the bottom. The girls pleaded with me to keep it. After explaining that he wouldn't have a very good life in a tank or cage we decided to set him free. So operation turtle relocation was under way.<br />

The next order of business or pleasure in my case was to plant my flowers. I try to buy mostly perennials but you always need a few pots on annuals cause they're just so pretty. Most of my terra cotta pots are filled with lavender and marigolds two plants that help repel mosquito's and other bugs. Not only that but when the weather turns I replant the lavender in my flower beds. <br />

This is the 3rd year the girls have attended some of the art camps in Whitehall. It's such a great program and thanks to generous families it is a great price. This camp was all about the art of tie dying. They had a great time being messing and honestly better there than in my house. I'm not a neat freak and let my kids do a lot of crafts but this one was one heck of a mess. If you try it at home I suggest you go outside. LOL<br />

No fourth of July is complete without the Annual Point Picnic. This year we had more family attend. My husband's sister Kelley, her husband Scott and their adorable baby girl Ellie moved here last summer. We are excited to see them more and hope to plan more things in the future. I miss having a big family around us. <br />

We were a little nervous since we had only been away from them for 2 days prior to this. My Dad watched them and they had a great time. While we were gone my sister Ashley and her husband Ryan had their first baby. My kids were pretty excited that they got to see the new baby before us. lol </div>

From my sister Kaitlyn getting married in Ireland, our first trip abroad, my sister Ashley having her first baby and all 3 kids being home for the summer, it seems to be flying by. We are so blessed to have had the opportunity to travel and be a part of all these amazing milestones.....but needless to say I haven't been good about keeping up with my blog. <br />

Visiting the Hill of Tara. For obvious reasons I wanted to go here but it wasn't just the name. It is one of the most historical places in Ireland. 142 Kings are said to have reigned in the Name of Tara. <br />

Driving was an adventure to say the least. My husband John drove the whole time but I had to try it just to say I did it. It was fun but very strange. Every time we turned a corner I'd say left side, left side. John did an amazing job, we had no accidents and both mirrors were in tacked when we returned it. LOL!! </div>

One of our favorite places on our whole trip was the English Market in Cork. AMAZING!!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really wished I had a kitchen while we were there. There was so much I wanted to cook and taste. We did buy lots of yummy cheeses, olives, breads and jams for a picnic.</div>

The Cliffs of Moher was one of if not the top sight to see for me. Unfortunately mother nature had other plans that day. The fog rolled in thick and quick. I guess this just means that I will have to come back again some day.<br />
<br />
<br />
Next we traveled to Galway, which is the area where my husband family originated from. Galway is known for its good seafood. The Kings Head has been around quite awhile so we thought we'd try it out. They did not disappoint. YUM!! <br />

The weather while we were in Galway was not the best. It was raining and blowing the whole first day. Did that stop us form walking the streets? Heck no!! We were prepared, so glad I brought my rain boots. So worth the suitcase space.<br />
<br />
While we were checking out the Spanish Arch we found this little restaurant, Ard Bia at Nimmos. It was tiny but had so much character. I had one of the best meals of my life and dream of going back. I love it when you stumble across a gem like this. <br />

I LOVED the tea in Ireland. Isn't this the cutest tea pot? <br />

<br />When mother nature rains out your picnic plans, what do you do? You get in your comfy clothes and have a picnic on the bed in your hotel room. <br />

Ireland was #1 on my bucket list and it had every reason to be. My husband and I are both from Irish decent and it was a dream come true to visit and experience all that we did. <br />
<br />
Next we hopped on a plane to Paris for a couple of days. We stayed in the city near the Louvre and used the metro and cabs to get around. That was quite an experience in it's self. <br />
<br />
We walked the streets, climbed countless stairs and saw some of the most breathtaking architecture and history in the world. <br />

We climbed to the top of Notre Dame Cathedral. The line is a lot longer than the one to go into the church but soooo completely worth it!<br />

One of the best things was seeing my friend Perrine. She was an exchange student in my high school and we became good friends. She moved back to France after college and I hadn't seen her in 19 years. You know that you have good friends when you can pick up where you left off. SUCH GOOD TIMES!!!!<br />

Before we headed over to the Louvre we needed to eat. There was this great cafe down the street from the Catacombs. We had escargot and I had seafood pasta and John had the duck. Very good!!!<br />

Of course you have to have macrons while you are in France. I picked up some at Paul's, they were delicious!!!<br />

The Lourve was my 2nd favorite place on our trip. It is the most amazing place. You could spend a week in there and not see everything. One thing you have to remember is to always look up. The ceilings are spectacular!! I found that the architecture of the palace was just as impressive as the art work and exhibits. <br />

We live in West Michigan and I've learned the hard way to wait to plant
my garden. Mother's day weekend always seems like the perfect time to
start planting veggies and flowers. It took me a couple years to except
the reality of the weather in the Spring. I've lost many a plants to
frost and snow from planting to early. This mother's day the weather
was nice so we opened up the garden, which means getting it ready for planting. </div>

However having the right tools can make a world of difference. In my experience these four tools make it possible...a hammer, metal wedge, hacksaw and a sawzall. Make sure the blades on your saws are made to be used on metal. <br />
<br />
First I use the sawzall to cut as many of the pallets boards by sliding the blade in between the frame and the board. I can usually cut all of the ends apart with the sawzall. You will be cutting the nails that hold it together not the wood. (Tip: Make sure you cut as close to the pallet board you want to use so that there isn't a rough end of a nail sticking way out.)<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Don't mind the mess in the background)</span><br />
<br />
<br />
Depending on the type of pallet you may have to use a hacksaw to get into places where the sawzall can't. The middle section is where I use my hacksaw. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Sometimes the boards are really tight against the frame and you may have trouble getting the saw blade in. This is where I use the hammer and metal wedge. Place the wedge and hammer lightly till you have created enough place to sit the saw blade in.<br />
<br />
Now obviously the nails will still be in the board. Most of my projects I like the look of the nails, it gives it a little more rustic look. If you don't want them in you can always pound them out with your hammer and a punch.<br />
<br />
I hope this helped a little bit!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">What do I mean by creating your brand? </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">What I mean is, you should first and foremost create a business card. As far as I'm concerned this is a must even if you don't do anything else. You must have a way to tell people about your business and how they can contact you. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">There are so many sites you can find to order or create your own business cards. I went through a site called Zazzle. The printing quality isn't the best but I really liked the designs and it was very easy to customize. This is a picture of the back of my card which has all of my contact information.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">*You may want to wait to order cards until after you've created and have all the correct contact information.</span></span></div>

This is what the front looks like and I really like how it turned out. The prices are pretty reasonable and they have great coupons all the time. I ended up ordering 200 cards.</div>

<br />
<br />
I also ordered bags from Paper Mart.com and labels from Zazzle to put on the front. This is an extra little step but I think it's nice when I receive a nice bag with my purchase. Not to mention, it's also advertising. Every time someone makes a purchase from me they receive a paper shopping bag with my label on it and I also include a business card in the bag as well.<br />
<br />
* I suggest that you insert your business cards in the bags before the show so you don't get too busy and forget.<br />

They are very simple but there is something about a brown paper bag and stark white label. It seems fresh and clean.<br />
<br />

Price tags....I knew that I didn't want to put stickers on everything. I already had a ton of shipping tags so I pulled out some of my stamp sets and created a very simple but cute tag.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
This all may seem very obvious to some but not to everyone so here is a little recap on how to start creating your brand.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Order or make business cards with all your contact information. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(Make sure you have all your contact information before ordering) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Order and make price tags, shopping bags and labels.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Create all your social media sites: Blog, Facebook page, Pinterest, Instagram and Youtube.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. Make sure to link all the sites together the best way you can.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All of these sites are free of charge and an excellent way to advertise so take advantage of it!! </div>

<br />
These are so fun, whether you use it for a home decor accent or for charting the growth of your children or grandchildren, it's perfect!! Even though it's 6ft tall it's only 8" wide so it can easily fit into many spaces. <br />
<br />
I really enjoy making these although it does take a while lol. Pine is so satisfying to work with, it sands and stains pretty darn easy. It wasn't until I sold my 1st one at a craft show that it hit me. An adorable couple came by my booth and bought a few things that would be added to their new baby's nursery. Then, I thought about the families that will use these and the memories they will make. Instantly, it was one of my favorite things I've ever made. I'm honored to be a part of the story!! #memories #thestory<br />

<div>

<div>
Here is how I started to prepare things for my first craft show. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">*Finding and Making my Booth Sign*</span> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I knew I was going to need a sign for my booth. So I had been keeping an eye out for different things. I found a unique door at the habitat for humanity store so I picked it up. I also picked up a very cool easel from goodwill. At the time I didn't know what I was going to use it for, which is often the case lol! Here is what I came up with. </div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">So one of the things I'd like to share on this blog are recipes. I'm a busy mother of three and time isn't always my friend but I also like good food. We don't go out to eat much so pinterest in a huge part of my meal planning. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">I found this <a href="http://pinchofyum.com/drunken-chicken-marsala-with-tomatoes" target="_blank">recipe</a> on <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/tarakelley79/" target="_blank">pinterest</a> and I've made it twice and it's a keeper. My whole family loves it!! My kids don't like the cooked tomatoes on top but that's no biggy. I usually pair it with a spinach salad, which my kids love, and a yummy bread. </span></span><br />

I definitely learned a few things but first I'd like to say.....<br>
<br>
I had an AMAZING show, it went better than I could have excepted!!!!!<br>
<br>
Lesson #1 Supply and demand. Always plan for the best scenario!! My first and second shows were back to back weekends. I did so well and sold out of so many things that I turned into a crazy women the week in between the shows. I was running and picking up supplies, sanding, staining and painting till the wee hours of the morning of the second show. <br>
<br>
I received such wonderful feedback from customers and fellow crafters. I really felt welcomed and proud that people seemed to like my booth. I had a few people tell me they loved my style and wanted my card. I'm so glad I had them ready because I handed out quite a few.<br>
<br>
I will say that it was a LOT of work and b/c I don't have a truck or trailer and have many large items it was an issue. My husband helped me, thank God, haul and set up the booth. <br>
<br>
Lesson #2 pricing. I had a few people tell me that my prices were too low lol! I really struggled with pricing not having any experience and to be perfectly honest I didn't keep track of my hours while I was making things which didn't help. I did however keep track of my hours the week in between and realized that I did have a few things priced to low. Time is money, right?<br>
<br>
Lesson #3 Don't be afraid!! It usually works out better than you thought it would.<br>
<br>
Tip: If you are on the fence about excepting credit cards, do it. I knew I wanted and ended up going with The Square and it worked great and the device was free! I had a few CC sales so it was worth it.<br>
<br>
Here are a few pictures of my booths!! <br>
<br>
I'm just starting to setup for my first show in Pentwater. <br>
