Am I Crazy?

I have been thinking about this for a while now, and today I finally took the plunge. I purchased a pair of Roller Blades. Mind you I just turned 40 and have not been skating for over 20 years. The last time I did go skating was with my best friend Cindy 20+ years ago. I lost balance and knocked her to the floor. She almost lost a tooth. Hopefully, this time around I will have better luck. I tried them on in the store and managed a few steps without knocking something over or falling to the floor making a total fool of myself. That is a good start. Wish me Luck!

Ambitious as Ever!

I have become very ambitious the year. Lots of new things are popping up at Corn Bag Critters. In the Pet Corner, I have added the kitty cozy and small dog, all you large dog owners...yours will be here in a week. Ella and Elton the Elephants are almost finished. I had to change the fabric as I was not happy with what was initially chosen. Look for them soon. I am also adding, but still working out the details; a large back heat therapy bag which gives you full back heat therapy. This size is also great to pop in the bed a few minutes before you crawl in so the sheets are warm. The shoulder/neck and the shoulder wrap heat therapy corn bags are doing very well, in fact so well that I had to add more of a fabric selection. Since chenille seems to be a favorite, I have added the 8" round in all colors. Last, but not least, I have added a grab bag. Since I am always adding new fabrics, I thought the perfect way to sell the discontinued fabrics is to have a clearance section. You pick the size and gender, we pick the fabric, you save a bundle!

I have started another blog as well; Recycled Fashion on A Dime. I am a huge fan of thrift and consignment stores. I love getting a deal and wanted to share my fabulous finds with everyone. If you have a minute, mozy on over and check it out. I am going to posting pics of all the great deals that I find.

Well, off to relax and read before bed.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

For all those that have requested International shipping...it is finally here! Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Personally, I could not wait to leave 2009 behind, well... lets include the entire decade in that...what a mess it was. Hopefully this one is better...the year and the decade. I have made quite a few resolutions and this year I am going to stick to it...alas..that is why I am putting them in front of the world to see. Kind of hard to ignore when it is out there for millions to read! Oh..and they are in random order.

1. Make new friends! That one I really have to work on. I think the old ones are getting tired of me and my dysfunctional life! I did meet someone this past year that I wish was always a part of my life. She is really positive and a good person. She is surrounded by chaos, but never complains. I need to find more friends like her. I need to surround myself with positive and fun people! Goal number one!!!!

2. Stop whining! Thank you Dr. Laura! I realize no one wants to hear about any of my problems so I am just going to stop talking and focus on the positive things that I want to do in the future. I am also going to find friends that do the same!

3. Be thankful for the blessings that I have and not focus on what I do not have.

4. Walk more! Too many cookies, ice cream, chips..the list goes on and on. I cannot walk up a set of stairs without feeling like I have climbed Mount Everest. Since I just turned 40..that is a MUST goal. I am ordering the MBT tone up sneakers..suppose to tone your legs, thighs, and all those places that the cellulite seems to go to!

5. Expand my line...I have a some exciting ideas for Corn Bag Critters that I have to follow through with early on this year.

6. Volunteer. My daughter is at the right age to learn about compassion. I want to find something the two of us can do together to help others.

7. Go to church more. I have slacked off recently and I know that is something that I need in my life and is good for the children.



Wish me luck...I will keep you all updated.

Wishing everyone peace, joy and happiness in this New Year!

Christmas is almost here....

Well, hopefully most of us can take a deep breath, sit back and relax. The shopping is done, the cookies are made and the Christmas presents and cards have been sent. WHAT....who is living in this world..not me! I just finished ordering gifts online today, have baked since 6:00am this morning and Christmas cards..forget it, too late this year to even think about that. Every year I vow to be more organized with Christmas and have everything wrapped up by mid December, however that never seems to work. I usually end up wandering the mall on Dec. 23rd looking for last minute gifts. Well, maybe 2010. New decade, fresh start. Sounds good to me.

Happy Holidays!

Snuggie....

OK. I am going to admit it, I love my snuggie. I would always laugh at the commercials and could not believe who on earth would wear such a thing. Well, I received one for a gift and I have to say I am in love! Last night I put on my snuggie and got cozy in bed and browsed through my celebrity gossip magazine (I know..but it is my only bad vice). Since it has arms, it is great when you are watching a movie and want to snack. I know watching movies, snacking and reading celebrity gossip..I have to get a more exciting life..maybe one day.

I hope everyone is finished with their Holiday shopping. I am almost..thank goodness. The only thing I did not start on is baking...that will come next week, however starting to put on a little holiday weight so will have to lock the cookies up after they are made..one thing I cannot resist is anything with chocolate.

Snuggies, movies and cookies...yeah!
