Got lost in the past today...

I originally set out for a very productive day doing some school work, cleaning, and running errands, but I decided to check into ancestry.com this afternoon and ended up glued to my computer for hours. I recommend to anyone who has ever even thought about researching their families, to definitely do it! I could honestly go on and on all night about what I found in just one day but I won't bore you all to death about my family (I will save that for Ryan and my parents;)....

But anyways, I just mainly wanted to report that I get to mark off my first item on my list. I obviously haven't finished it, but I am well underway and it will probably be a never ending process.

Good night all!

Love, Lolly.

One of each please! (Etsy Top 10)

This is my first Etsy Top 10 post and I plan to do one every week from here on...

Each week I will post my Top 10 favorite Etsy Items that I found that week and share a link with everyone. Etsy has so so.......much to offer. Unfortunately I am a very broke college student and can't buy too much but I love to help get other crafters names out there. So here is my contribution.

Starting my bucket list!

I have been meaning to make my own bucket list for a few months, since reading my counsin Dawn's list. :) (and I can help to finish one of the items on her list because she inspired me.) But I really feel its something I need right now!

I need something to challenge me and to work for other than finishing up my last classes in my undergrads. So this list is not a final product, and I will most likely add to it in years to come but its a start. Since most of the items on my list involve money, I am not positive that I will even be able to complete each item. But its definitely a dream or goal to complete all of them and share some good stories about them. I can't say that they are all original because I have been reading other peoples list and getting ideas, but they all hold some form of importance to me. Please take the time to read my list, and maybe even give ideas to help me complete them. And check back on my progress as well. I need people to hold me accountable! :)

A new look, a new start.

Its been a rough first half of this semester! I am far to busy with school to be able to make time for anything else.

One of my biggest flaws is time management....that explains why I am still up at 1:30 AM. So ok, let me say that I intend to start managing my time much better "tomorrow" since I have failed horribly today. And with this time management, you should be seeing plenty of new things in the store and on this blog. I did manage to start my blog makeover tonight and hopefully I can devote a little bit of time a couple more nights to finish it up. Also, I have some new designs for Lolly Loves Bows! I just need to get some pictures taken and possibly some models to help me out. So watch for those to start popping up!

OK, I really need to keep this short and sweet because I should be off to bed...but I just wanted to give my readers a shout out, and to inform them that I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, I am simply just under a tall pile of school work. But I promise to make more time for Lolly Loves Bows and the blog when I can!

Love, Lolly.
