Is it already Monday again?  Not that we didn’t have an awesome, fun-filled weekend, but this morning’s alarm clock was not a welcome event.  Anyhoo, how about a weekend recap?

Our plans to head to the fair the other day were slightly delayed due to the inclement weather that decided to hang around for a whle.  We decided we would go Saturday evening with friends, come rain or shine, and lucked out with some gorgeous weather that appeared after a full day of thunderstorms.  We absolutely gorged ourselves on fair food including cotton candy, candy apples, turkey leg, funnel cake, and whatever else we fancied. And Roscoe?  I think it’s safe to say that he LOVED the fair!  He rode just about everything he met the height requirements for and grinned from ear-to-ear for hours.

That’s not to say that I didn’t have a few mommy freakouts when he want on some of the rides.  Like the swings.  And the ferris wheel.  It was both hard to admit he’s gotten old and big enough to ride them as well as my concerns about the rides’ stability.   Luckily Aaron went on most of the rides that spun you around so I didn’t have to.  Yay for teamwork!

So that was the fair, but what else did we do this weekend?  Because of the rain we were stuck indoors most of Saturday.  I was at least able to complete some products for my etsy shop, Ramble On.  Like this leather bag I made (and has taken me too long to complete!) as well as some other, smaller items.

 When Sunday rolled around Aaron and I were both motivated to work off our fair feast. We went for a walk with Roscoe on his scooter for over 2 hours on the Greenway!  I think we walked so long because our conversation kept us moving- it was only our empty water bottles that clued us in it was time to turn around.

Then of course there were lots of little trips from here to there, like the Asian market and the in-laws for dinner, that filled the rest of our Saturday and Sunday.  By Sunday evening, I think it fair to say we were a tad bit exhausted, but a lot happy.  I hope everyone else had a great, fun-packed few days as well!

Okay folks, today is the big announcement.  What have I been doing in my off time besides tending to a busy family and career?  Well, I’m glad you asked.  I’ve been contemplating opening up an Etsy shop.  Etsy, if you’re not familiar, is like an ebay of crafters.  It’s a website that offers a virtual shop for artists and creators throughout the nation and world.  In short, it’s a great source of inspiration and specialty items, gifts, flights of fancy.    But back to starting my own Etsy shop.  I started my virtual shop,Ramble On Crafts, back in May, but didn’t actually list anything…until now.

 The name came courtesy of a Led Zeppelin song and from the suggestion of a good friend.  So far I’ve only listed a couple items and will be adding loads more in the near future.  Please go check it out and let me know what you think!
