Simple Joys At Home

When I got off of Facebook the end of last year, I started keeping a record of some of the cute and hilarious things my siblings (and other small children) said, so I could share them here, since that was one thing several people said they'd miss seeing me post. I had every intention of posting various installments on here, perhaps every month or two, with all these entertaining snippets. I very dutifully kept this list up...for the first four months of the year. After that, I simply forgot to keep keeping track. That list lived quite nicely, and mostly forgotten, on my phone. Until today. So without further ado... Sibling: "The thing with winter is that it's supposed to be nice holidays and everything, but everybody wears dark colors, like they're going to a funeral. " Esther, turning in circles: "I feel like I'm spinning in a tornado..." One sibling to another: "You're just a fragment of my imagination." Joshua, getting up off the ...

Nearly two years ago, I opened an Etsy shop, selling my crocheted items . A few months back, my brother Caleb decided to open his own Etsy shop as well. He's making super neat paracord belts and bracelets, that make a great addition to any survival pack. The paracord (short for parachute cord , and also called  550 cord ) he uses is super strong, and a single strand can hold up to 550 pounds.  Are you interested in building your stock of survival supplies?  You can visit his shop, Survivor Paracord , here , but be sure to check back for more items in the future as well, as he already has all sorts of ideas for further expansion.

         Starting tomorrow evening (11/28/2013) I'll be having a Black Friday/Cyber Monday SALE in my Etsy shop !  I sell all sorts of fun crocheted items, such as hats, cowboy boots, and doll shoes.  I also have a few little girls' aprons for sale. All items will have between a 15% and 50% discount in honor of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This ONLY applies to my Etsy Shop , and NOT my Facebook page .  This also does not apply to custom orders, although I will still be taking custom orders during this time. Sales will start Thursday evening, and end either Monday night or Tuesday morning.  Four+ days of savings!  Keep in mind that this is the perfect time to purchase Christmas gifts!  Hope to see you there!  Visit my shop --->  https://www.etsy.com/shop/SimpleJoysAtHome

 As many of you may know, I have an Etsy shop that I opened back in January. You may wonder what that has to do with you... I'm now offering a coupon code to all my blog readers! Yay for you! You can now use the the coupon code "BLOGFRIEND" to receive a 15% discount off anything in my shop. To top it off, right now is the perfect time to start ordering Christmas gifts. Everything in my shop is handmade, so if you wait until too close to Christmas, you may not get your package in time. Here's a sneak peak of some of the things you can find in my shop: Oh, I also do custom orders, so if there's something that you want, and can't find in my shop, be sure to send me an email!
