Frito's Snack.........

 I did this earlier this afternoon. Alex age 9 said it was the best snack ever and to put it online lol

 I used the rest of 2 half bags of Fritos, 2 rows of Almond bark. Melted the bark  til creamy. Poured over some frito's  then took more frito's and poured them on top and then took a spoon and stirred it all together and  spooned some onto a plate and left the rest in the shallow pan and then stuck them in the fridge for a little bit.

Starting to rethink having a Etsy Store.....

 I'm starting to re think having a Etsy store.

 I will leave the listing up to see if the item sells. but will not re list it.

 I think i'd rather just enjoy this being a hobby and maybe sell a few things to friends and family once in a while.

Etsy Store Is Open.......

I decided to just open it.... i still plan on doing all the legal stuff i need to when we have a little more money.

Started a Facebook Page

  I decided to get a jump start and set up a facebook page

Creating a List Of Stuff To Finish Doing For My Etsy Shop

 I'm at the point of Etsy asking me to list a item.

 Well living in CA i'm trying to do everything legal so below i'm gonna list everything i need to do before i can  open my shop and will cross it off as it gets done. I just hate that its gonna be sorta expensive.

Get a Sellers License  from~ Free  http://www.boe.ca.gov/

File Fictitious Name  ~$55  http://www.sbcounty.gov/arc/fbn_info.htm

Running a Ad in the local Paper~Lowest local paper i was told would be roughly $44 or so

City Business Home Based License ~ Cost $129   How crazy when  it's for a online store.

 Somewhere in there make a few smaller items to list to sell.

 I really hate that the city wants so much $$$$. 

New Blog Name & A half started Etsy Store

 I ended up changing my blog name to the name i plan to use for my Etsy store. I'm loving the new name change and new background i put up and new header i made.

 I'm currently plugging away on my  Tea Leaves Cardigan for myself.

Girly Caterpillar Picture

 I could had sworn i posted about this one but guess not
