A Little About Me

Wow I see I haven't been posting for awhile. I guess there has been alot going on. With business, crocheting,and being a full time mom. Life has me running around the clock at full speed.On Oct 7 2012 I became a grandma for the first time to a beautiful baby boy. On Oct 24 2012 I became a grandma for the second time to another beautiful baby boy. I feel like a new person and that the door of life has open up a new page for me.

Especially after having to deal with all the sarcasm, bs, lies and more from people who felt my business was a scam. I almost gave up my business and blog. That is why I hadn't posted for awhile. But then I realized this is what they wanted, so why I should I play into their hands. So I stood up and dusted myself off and pushed on . And we are more successful now than we were months ago. I also added a new line of products my crochet gifts.

I crochet hats, headbands, dish cloths, afghans and more. I love it and it takes me away from the everyday crap  That I feel I don't have to deal with. I am stronger person now and business is showing that. In the next few weeks I will be updating info and adding some giveaways. So please check back often for these goodies.

Got something you want to share here send it to me and I will post it for the world to see. Until next time happy Crocheting!

Donate your unused up to date products today!

Have you gone shopping just to buy the wrong flavor of tea or the wrong bottle of shampoo? Have you ever thought now what am I going to do as i don't have time to take it back? So you go ahead put it in the cupboard and there it sits for who knows how long.

I have done this so many times, and I just end of throwing it out. Until one day I got a bright idea like many lol. I wanted to get into the gift basket industry, but the costs are just nuts. From baskets to supplies I was looking over $5,ooo to just start. I nearly had a heart attack about it. So I pondered about it for a bit, and came up with another way to create a greener world. Why not create second hand gift baskets, filled with products and items donated by people like you.

Not only are we working together to create a greener world, we are also saving local landfills. As well bring customers a new way to shop without breaking the pocketbook. Some people rolled their eyes up at me, but others thought it was a wonderful idea to buy a second hand gift basket filled with past treasures.

So help us fill our baskets by donating your unused products, or used clothing etc that are is good condition and help build a better world by going green.

We can help educate our families and communities about the importance of recycling for our environment, and how each of us can make a difference for a better world by recycling.
-- Robert Alan


But our waste problem is not the fault only of producers. It is the fault of an economy that is wasteful from top to bottom—a symbiosis of an unlimited greed at the top and a lazy, passive, and self-indulgent consumptiveness at the bottom—and all of us are involved in it.
-- Wendell Berry


Every moment has led to this moment. Now is the time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. Together we can create a better world. -- Robert Alan


Life is too short to waste stop and do something about it Anita Riddell

Quotes on life

Here are some quotes that will make think about life and how privilege we are to have it.

My Inspirations

In my life and have been so inspired by the things I see and do. For example a few months back my hubby and I were at the local dump. Dropping off gravel and dirt we did not need. I was in shock by what I seen, useful items  that could have been reused by someone in need. There was also items that could have been fixed. Like a dresser with a missing leg. And a chair that could have been recovered. What is this world becoming.

It is sad to see so many struggle when in reality they don't have too. What happen to neighbors helping neighbors. Have we forgotten what matters the most.. Think about it if you were sick and had no one, wouldn't you want your neighbor to care. Wouldn't you welcome that hot chicken soup or that welcome companion ship. We need to reality need to start putting the shoe on the other foot and think about our actions before it is to late.

It is the same thing when it comes to recycling. Do we really need a new couch and chair? Can't we just reupholster it. Think about it would save you over $1000. What would you do with that extra $1000 that you didn't have to throw away. What about those old clothes ok so we lost 15 lbs. Well we could pass them on to someone else in need. Make some useful bags. Create some great dust rags etc. There is so many ideas it is priceless.

Think before you throw something away. can it be fixed, painted, or donated to help someone in need. By doing this you are doing your part in saving our earth. help a neighbor, help a friend so you care to make a better place for all us to live in.
