I have been painting ceramics for over 17 years, I started selling on ebay  as a way to make some money to stay home with my kids. I have had my ups and downs and took some time off to deal with my hodgkin's lymphoma, and then after that I thought I want to go to work to see if I can do it

 Well I did it, but I found that my kids (teenagers) loved that I went to work, my house was a mess, my house was the hang out with pool partys. So I thought I missed ebay and my house being clean, so I decided to be a stay at home mom again. Wow, now I am home and my kids are not, My daughter went and got a job, so she could start driving. ( I made her wait till she was 17, for my own fears)  My son is so far in his xbox it is like he is not home. As a mom you start to feel that you are not needed anymore, but I feel they need you more when they are teens.

I had a lady orders some rocks with faces and she sent me a photo of what she did with them so I wanted to include them here to show you all. aren't they so cute, but was was neet, I had the same metal people stands and never thought of what to put on them.

If you have photos of some items I sold you and you want to share them please email them to me and I will post them.

This is some of the other items I make.

I also wanted to say, I have been having trouble getting the shipping rates to work show the right shipping fees, so if you need to email me and ask for a shipping quote, I will be happy to do that. If the shipping is less then what you paid, I refund the difference, I don't if it is up to a dollar just due to by the time we all get done with the paypal fees, there is nothing to refund. I am not looking to make money off your shipping, I think they are high enough, that is why most of the time it is only about 2 dollars each items you bulk it with, but keep in mind the size the box I use might change that.

so here is a update on what all has been going on this summer. We didn't do much, I spent some time with my daughter trying to get a tan. ( knowing she is going away to school next summer makes me want to spend what ever time I can with her.) She went to see a school in iowa, Cornelle ( what a shock on that price)

My son ( who is 12) spent alot of time on xbox, and at friends houses. I got a idea that the pool in the back yard was not enough anymore, I had to pay to let him to the park pool. I tried to talk my hubby into taking down the pool and putting a hot tub in, but that was a no go when we went to the store and saw that price.

Now they are back to school, my daughter in high school with 22 credits, ( only needed 18 to grad.) but wanted to do her sr. year , and my son started jr. high. ( I was so scared for him but he came home all smiles and said he loved it) Wow how can these 2 kids be from me,( and my hubby of corse) they are turning out so great and I never thought I could be a mom. I think maybe they are learning not to do what I say and that is how they are turning out so great.

I want you to meet our newest member of the house, Her name is Bella and my lab loves her
