What's this?

It kind of looks like a lemon meringue pie gone CRAZY!


It's actually a soap explosion. *Yep, just half a bar of soap in the microwave turns into THAT!

We are definitely going to be trying this over the weekend. I just have to run out and buy some Ivory Soap.

Building your own website

1 comments
If you see my head start to spin.....RUN! Run far far away. Building a website takes a lot of patience and understanding and neither of those have ever been in my vocabulary.

Ever heard the statement "If you want something done right, just do it yourself."?

uhhh....

Yeah

Why does it frustrate me so much then?
I know I'm smart, darnit! lol


Even with all these super easy to follow tutorials and advice, I am still coming up frazzled but I will get this done. Oh YES....YES I WILL!

We will just overlook the fact that I accidentally put my pages in protected mode. (smile)
FTP Clients, HTML, CSS, Javascript Blocklist...Ay Yi Yi!

My head is spinning but I can do this.

(HOLD ME)

Have you ever built your own website from scratch? Does it get easier?
Will I ever do this again?

One more question? Where are my local stored objects? lol

Don't mind me, I will be ok.

err I hope!

I've been getting a big kick out of all the "mustache" related products/crafts/fun ideas out there lately.

I often find myself playing around with my hair and putting it up over my lips like a mustache and then saying "Look at Me!". Everyone does that, right? hehe

Why have mustaches become so fun lately?

Check out these "mustache" related finds :

Marketing your blog....GET OUT THERE!

0 comments
How do you get your blog out there? I'm referring to online marketing. Do you post on message boards/forums? Do you include links in your emails? What do you do? It's very important to advertise your blog especially if you are making any type of income from it. I always try to include my links at the bottom of my emails and I also use facebook and twitter as a way to "get my site out there".

Of course, if this is just a hobby and you mainly do it for family and friends I don't guess it really matters as much. However, with the ever growing blogosphere and the amount of opportunities out there it is very important to market yourself. Word of Mouth, web site search engines, social media and commenting on other blogs is very important to bloggers who are in this to make a buck or two (or you may just want to work with other companies with reviews and such).

Whatever you are wanting to do, I highly suggest building up your audience and getting yourself OUT THERE!

Don't expect to throw up a blog with a few posts and then get something in return.

It doesn't work like that. It takes time....It takes work....It takes patience.

BUT

The good news is that if you build it, They will come!

Keep at it.

Start a newsletter, visit message boards and use social media. There are so many tools that will help you. They are not hard to find.

Make sure you have a great content management system  going.

Go all in or NOT AT ALL : )

Fairy doors

So magical and enchanting....

Did I mention Cute? Could you imagine the look on your kids face to find one of these in your home? 

Have a family of fairies move in!





Fairy treehouse door



You could have some real fun with these. Imagine a mini mailbox beside the door, place a mini note FROM the fairy family in there letting your child know that the fairy family has moved in.

Teeny tiny table sitting beside the door...

Oh a teeny tiny welcome mat!

The possibilities . . .
