Show Me Some Color!

I love decorating with color, and my new coasters are now made with various colors of tile! I have an Etsy Team Columbus teammate that happens to work at a tile store, and all of these tiles were discontinued and saved from the dumpster. I absolutely love the look of the color with the patterns, especially the dark chocolate brown colored tile. So what do you think? Do you like the colored tiles better or the white? Let me know your thoughts please. :)

Friday Favorites to Fix What Ails You

After the EEG test yesterday, my shoulder/ neck/ arm are so sore, and I didn't sleep very well last night.

She sells neck wraps, eye pillows, back relief sets, desk supports for your wrist, and even pillows all in beautiful Amy Butler and other designer fabrics! She is a licensed massage therapist who designed her items to use w/ her clients. I could go crazy in this shop--enjoy!

The Good News and Not-So-Good News

A quick update on my carpal tunnel--

I had my EEG test on my wrist/ hand today to check for nerve damage due to the numbness and tingling in my right hand. The good news is that the test came back normal w/ no nerve damage. Yay! The not-so-good news is that they're positive that I have carpal tunnel syndrome since I'm responding well to the brace, had decreased something or other in my right index finger today, and other symptoms. :(

I go back in a few weeks, so keep me in your thoughts that things continue to feel ok.

Wordless Wednesday--Recent Vacation Photos!

I just realized that I hadn't shared any vacation photos yet from our recent trip to Philadelphia, the New Jersey shore, Sesame Place, etc. We had a great time and really got some great family photos this time. Enjoy!

Another Idea--Sorority/ Fraternity Coasters!

I just searched Etsy and only found 1 listing for sorority/ fraternity ceramic coasters. I think these would be great gifts for friends, alumni, bigs/ littles, secret sis gifts, etc. Any thoughts?

Summer is Half Over Already?

Where did June go? As I realized this weekend that summer is now half over, I've started to think about holiday items, fall/ winter craft shows, etc. I'll keep working on these ideas as I get time and post them in August. I just can't post winter items now. I'd like to enjoy summer a little longer. :)

Friday Favorites--BeeYourselfDesigns!

I just recently discovered fellow EtsySecrets member, beeyourselfdesigns on Etsy, and I love her work! I've been looking online for a laptop bag for awhile now, and I may break down and get one of these beauties. She has them in 13" and 15", as well as mini and custom options. She also has Ipod and cell phone cases and more in Amy Butler and other popular patterns!
