Submissions: Brown

Every Friday I put together a treasury of some of my favorite items made by other sellers, post it on my blog and call it the Friday's Favorites!

Last Week's Treasury had 349 views, 80 comments, 139 clicks, 9 favorites and ONE SALE! Congratulations cubits!!!

This week I'm looking for BROWN. If you have any brown items in your shop, then post the link in the comments and check back tomorrow for the Friday's Favorites!

Don't have any brown? Feel free to nominate a friend's item and help spread the love.

I will also be looking in the forums for items, but I always consider the blog submissions first.

The Brown Gloves pictured above is one of the brown items that is in my shop.

Gigs and Hoover Dam

It's been a hectic past couple of days...

Last night I performed at a birthday party. Even though I'm a magician, I rarely do birthday parties, but the price was right so I went for it.

I was warned that one of the children had Asberger's Syndrome and might prove to be a problem. He was great! All the warnings they gave me I thought it would be really severe, but it was so mild that if I hadn't known, I would have just thought him to be a little quirky.



In other news

The boyfriend and I actually had a day off together...that is really a rarity. We thought it was going to be a too windy to take out the boat, so we just watched movies together all day. (I did work on a custom sock order while we were watching)...

Then later when it wasn't too hot anymore, we took the motorcycle out to my favorite wine bar and ate cheese platters. The boyfriend had already had one glass at home, so he couldn't partake since he was driving, but I sure did!

Then, since we were so close, we took the bike up to the Hoover Dam. I hadn't been there at night since they built the bypass, so the road was completely deserted which was so cool. You're not allowed to stop on the dam when it's closed, but we stopped in a parking area just above it and enjoyed the view.

Friday's Favorites: It's Not Wrong to be White

White is not just for weddings, the color speaks of elegance and sophistication. It's a great color to wear for summer, and as for accessories, not to worry it goes with everything!

Here's this week's treasury:
It's Not Wrong to be White

Unfortunately today there is a problem with the treasury widget, and it keeps saying etsy API error, so I cannot post the treasury on the blog. Not to worry, you can still see it at the link above!

Submissions: White

Every Friday I put together a treasury of some of my favorite items made by other etsy sellers, post it on my blog, and call it the Friday's Favorites.

Last week's It Is Easy Being Green treasury had 152 views, 173 clicks and 17 comments.

This week, in honor of my newest item (pictured above), I'm looking for WHITE. If you have any white items in your shop, post the link in the comments and check back tomorrow for the Friday's Favorites.

Don't have any white? Feel free to nominate a friend's item and spread the love.

I will be looking in the forums as well, but I always consider the blog submissions first.

Power Ranger for a Day

So, while I was in Oregon, I got texted to do this gig where I had to dance. Even though I used to be a professional dancer (mainly ballet), I hadn't done a thing in 10 years! But the money was right, so I agreed to do it.

It turned out it was for the licensing company that bought the rights to the Power Rangers and we had to dance at the licensing convention that is here in town right now. They had all the power rangers there ever were (which apparently is over 30!).

Picture your typical convention, and then suddenly a mass of over 30 power rangers coming through, and then all of a sudden the theme song starts playing and everyone starts to dance. Kind of like a flash mob with helmets.

We also worked with the current Power Rangers as well as one of the original ones who made sure that the choreography was up to the standard of the company.

Now I am so sore! But even out of shape, I was still able to keep up with everyone, so I was quite pleased with myself.

In the picture, that's me and my friend Riki. I'm the one in pink.

Home Again

I got home to Vegas yesterday afternoon. It was so great to see the boyfriend and all of the fur monsters. The weather, on the other hand, not so much.

The weather in Oregon was a beautiful 70 degrees; perfect for a light sweater. When I exited the baggage claim, the force of the desert hit me like a hair dryer. It's not even full blown summer yet...it was probably only ninety. I am living in dread now for when it hits 120 in a couple months.

Today, I'm off to work at the Venetian. I would have liked to stay at home and clean up since the boyfriend was on his own here for a week, but I can't afford it. Hopefully tomorrow if rehearsal isn't to tiring, I'll get started on it.
