The Last Lecture ~ RIP Randy Pausch

Whether you have seen this video before or not, take a moment to watch it again for the first time. Randy Pausch was a professor at Carnegie Mellon University who spoke on the topic of 'the last lecture'. The lessons he shares in this video will inspire and encourage.

He passed away this morning leaving his wife and three small children.
RIP Professor Pausch.
He wrote a book about this experience, find it here:

Etsy Here I Come

I just decided to load my shoppe with lots of goodies. Some are not yet listed here on my website. Check it out if you have a chance. I am thinking of abandoning FEE-Bay after many years of giving them my money. I spent almost $300 in fees on ebay alone last month. ABSURD!

AWESOME FINDS

HAPPY 4th of JULY to ALL
and a prayerful thanks to our troops and their families here at home. God Bless America!



I am finally back after finishing up the end of the year things with the kids for school and selling our investment property. PHEW! I went 'junking' here & there over the past few weeks and the stars seemed perfectly aligned for me to find just the right little goodies to share in my shoppe. I have added new vintage paper parcels including the coveted sheet music (this time GERMAN BACH!) and it has very few words if any- just how we like it! Here is a sample:

I also added some sweet (and do I mean SWEET) new tags. I tried my hand at distressing these tags and though it took much of the day and a lot of 'ingredients' They smell divine- vanilla coffee and cinnamon are all around me as I type. Mmmmmmmm! I must say I think they turned out quite nicely. But they still needed something...how about a vintage millinery pink rosebud? What do you think?

Please take a second to leave me a note to let me know you were here. I love to see who has stopped in. Thanks for taking a peek. Have a safe & blessed 4th of July weekend!
