CHANGES!

We are in the midst of trying to "brand" all the things we do and we are trying to come up with one name for all the things we make and sell...but we are wondering if it might be better to have two online stores? One for baseball and one for other crafts. If you have an opinion about this please email us! We will have the names we are thinking of in the next blog report!

Regular Blogging!

Well, I guess that we haven't gotten enough computer fiber in our diet - so our blogging has been clogged up! But we are trying to get back on track and we are posting new pictures this week as well as content. We will also be adding more items to the Etsy store http://www.paperhands.etsy.com/ so be on the look out for cool vintage baseball stuffs, paper crafts, scrapbooking DESTASH and also new dolls!

A Chance Encounter!

Well, Chance is here and on his very first day he had an adventure meeting his new neighbor! I don't know who was more excited Chance or the Bull! We will be posting more of our adventures and pictures as he grows!

Godzilla, Godzilla!

Ok, so we were supposed to get our dog last weekend, but there was a kink in that plan! My sister in law decided she just had to have this special breed of puppy, but the rest of the fam said ok, but you have to get rid of your Bearded Dragons for a little while during the training of the puppy. So my dad called me, not her to ask if we would foster them for a little while - so we said ok, but we thought it would be a few months now they are talking in definately. I am an animal lover alright, but I think the person who owns them should have called and I asked that she at least email to give me a heads up on their care, and nada! Plus there was a horrible smell and we couldn't figure out what it was the tank looked fairly clean, turns out it was decomposing superworms that were old and should have been thrown out months ago! I can't decide what is worse, the fact that she is a manager at a pet store and this is how she treats her own animals or the fact that they have been keeping us up at night fighting because the tank is too small for two! Hopefully we will still be able to adopt Chance, I wanted a dog and a cat not a zoo!

We are taking a Chance!

Just thought I would update this week by saying that we are taking a chance...Chance the dog that is...We have been selected to be the proud parents of a lab/weimaraner mix named Chance...We will get him this weekend and we will post pictures after he is settled!

Etsy.com on Martha!

So, besides crafting, the internet and Baseball - we love Martha!
Today on her show, she featured the creator of Etsy.com - Rob! It was so great to see the promotion of handmade goods! Go Green everyone buy form Etsians who use recylced materials! Happy Leap Birth - Day to all of you Leapsters out there and please don't forget to vote on our poll about how you found our blog!

The Most AWESOME Machine Ever!

Ok, Blog number Two!

So we got our income tax money and I decided to do a little splurging! I got the most awesome machine on the planet - The CRICUT Expressions! It slices it dices it even julieannes, ok you get the idea! Well, I have not had to much time to play with it yet, but I am cleaing out the art studio room and getting ready for a scrapbooking fest! I will be post ing pictures of some of the work as it gets done and I will also be offering letters in all shapes, sizes and colors for sale on www.paperhands.etsy.com when I get the time - so that people who do not have the machine can still get the look! I am also thinking about offering custom scrapbook page layouts! More blogs to come!

First Blog Experience....

Well, here we go - everyone kept telling us we needed a myspace account, so we created a joint one, then we needed a flickr account, and now we need a blog....We have decided that with Opening Day around the corner & the fact that we barely have time to check all the emails we get now, we will use a combined blog, especially since the main purpose of the blog is to keep friends, family and our ETSY peeps current on the happenings of our creativity and life in general. I am sure since I have more time at the old computer - I will be the one to primarily add content....but as Steven is his own person contrary to how it may sometime seem - he may want to add insight & antics as well from time to time, for this we will probably color code, but that remains to be seen. Yes, I know we are so mushy in love and we shouldn't still be after three years...blah, blah, blah"you two are joined at the hip, I can't figure out where one ends and the other begins" OK, we have heard this all before. I will say it here once, it is not a weird control or co-dependant thing, we just STILL ENJOY being with each other, & in today's world, we wish that were a praised fact not a flaw...As Steven said to me when he proposed "58 years to go" - so at 3 and counting, I hope it never changes!
