After spending last week at Disney World (woohoo Mickey Mouse & gang!) - I really need a rest! We ended up going through Nashville right before the really ugly flooding on I-24 (by about 2 hrs!!) and want to say a little prayer for all those that live there and are going thru the ugliness of it right now. I also want to say a little sad goodbye to my cousin Erin - who (at 30) recently died of an asthma attach - rest in peace my sweet & funny cousin :( 

On a brighter note, I am getting some more stuff to put in the shops - some hand made goodies as well as some vintage awesomeness! I've had lots of inspiration and am cracking the whip!!

  On another shout out - go to my Twin City Derby girls - who are about ready for their first scrimmage between the 'Paign & the Boneyard Bombshells!!! One of these days - I'll be there getting ready to kick some butt with ya!! Maybe after the broken tailbone heals...

Very, very busy :) Which is totally awesome! And a quick thanks to the following people for the shout outs for my items - http://kidgiddy.blogspot.com/2010/04/this-n-that-summers-coming.html & http://www.facebook.com/NerdJerk?ref=mf&v=wall. Thanks again!


I seem to be finally picking up in business - which is totally rocking!! I also started a new store - which is just for crafty supplies - here at http://www.etsy.com/shop/jenjo74.

Here is a preview of some of my new items....

 Okay -  so I've been a bit remiss in keeping up with this blog. Oh well....
I've had a lovely little 2 week ongoing migraine that totally sucked the life outta me. Haven't even been able to do Roller Derby - and that really SUCKS. I didn't realize how much I would love it - and I mean really love it! The girls are all cool - and most of us are from totally different walks of life. Some are married, others have kids, others are kids (the college kind!) and some are even in their middle 40's...I hope I make it that far!!


Also starting up a sister Etsy shop - this one with just supplies. I've collected way too many and am in dire need to get rid of some just to have some more space. Sad. But loads of new deals on yarn and fabrics!! See my new shop at www.jenjo74.etsy.com!!!

Ugh! Washing machine is still not fixed and this is going on week 3....
On the upside - DERBY practice tonight!! For those of you who haven't heard - we recently started a local league for roller derby. Seriously awesome fun. Really. It's been a blast. I got my new Sure Grip skates in and I LOVE them! Now I just need to learn how to skate better....

Sorry its been awhile - I've been terribly busy :) Superbowl party yesterday - Woohoo SAINTS!!! - and washing machine being broken - thanks again Whirlpool for making sure my parts don't come in for at least a week! - and loads of other stuff have made sure my weeks have been flying by. On a good note - I got my lighting cube for better jewelry pics - go check them out!! I spent a good portion of 2 day re-taking pics of existing jewelry so that they look a bit more professional and hopefully that means more people will want to purchase them!
On another note - I joined the Twin City Derby Girls roller derby team!!! Seriously excited and cannot wait til our next practice!! I'm hoping my skates come in before Wednesday, because I hate the rentals!!! Plus - hopefully my skating will improve to the point of not embarrassing myself :)
More groovy stuff being listed in the store today - hope y'all enjoy it!!

Okey Dokey - I had to share my latest finds with ya...I got a beaver fur coat (full dress length!!!) for a steal at one of the local vintage shops!! Seriously awesome - have to get it cleaned (has a funky "I've been stored somewhere in the closet for 40 years kinda smell) and repair a small hole. I can't wait to see what else I find :)

Getting ready for that lovely freezing fog advisory. Hoping for some good 'ole karaoke fun tonight. Maybe. But I was able to put some lovely new things in the store - so stop by and take a look!
