Etsy Sunday: Apple Love January 9, 2011

Filed under: Etsy Sunday — Mandy Sue @ 10:19 am

I love etsy.  I love how regular people can show case their talent and you can find just about anything you may be looking for. If you can’t, then you can request someone make it for you!

Today, as I’m lusting over a macbook currently, I thought it would be fun to showcase Apple accessories and Apple spoof items.  Here are a few of my favorites.

Giraffe Decal by Fast Decals

Laptop Sleeve by Pack and Smooch

Keep Calm and Mac On by Keep Calm Shop

Owl iPhone Case by Lova Revolutionary

101 in 1001 January 7, 2011

Filed under: Uncategorized — Mandy Sue @ 7:59 pm

If you look up in the top right hand corner of my blog you’ll see a link to see my 101 in 1001.  I originally was going to do the whole thing as a post, but I figured I’m going to keep coming back to it and updating it as I cross things off the list so it made more sense for it to be readily available.
Last year I saw a few people in my blogging community put up their 101 in 1001 lists and it seemed like a cool idea.  But I was planning a wedding, and I didn’t think I could come up with 101 things I wanted to do.  Well, it was hard, but I think it was worth it.  Some of the stuff I put on there was stuff I haven’t been admitting to myself I need to get done.  Maybe publishing the list on the internetz will help me be accountable and get it done.

Are you participating in 101 in 1001?  If not, did you do any new years resolutions this year?  What is keeping you accountable?

 

New Year, New Blog January 4, 2011

Filed under: Uncategorized — Mandy Sue @ 8:57 am

Obviously it has been quite awhile since I blogged.  I plead momentary life craziness.   Those who don’t know, I had  a blog over on blogger, but I lost inspiration for it.  And just got plain crazy busy.  I planned a wedding and got married.  The old blog didn’t feel like me anymore.  Kinda like that crazy syndrome where parents lose the ability to recognize the facial features of their children, and claim that it is some other child pretending to be theirs.  Except I think I lost my identity.  My blogging identity at least.  I felt I had nothing worth writing about.

So this blog?  I’m not sure what it’s about either.  Probably a little about everything.  Work (at an awesome credit union), my life as a newlywed, crafting, music, my almost college degree, and the list goes on.  The point is, life changes at a crazy fast pace, and if I stop to long to try to define myself, it will leave me behind.

 

Welcome.
