I am almost a BlogHer Blogger!

I filled out an application probably 6 months ago even though they weren’t taking new applications at the time.  I figured I would go on a waiting list and would get there eventually.  I had forgotten about it until I got an email last week saying that even though they weren’t accepting new blogs they saw my application and thought that my blog would be a good fit.  I filled out all the information and sent it in and got a response back yesterday.  I filled out all the forms and W-9 and sent them back in and now I am just waiting for them to send me the code to add to my blog!  I don’t exactly know what all this will entail, but I am excited about it for sure.

Well, I started this post at about 9am and it’s not almost 9pm and I think I may actually finish it up!  We went to town to get groceries and do all my sewing errands and by the time we got home it was 2:00.  I finished up the purse I was working on an started cutting out the next one.  I am going to have a FULL day tomorrow since I didn’t get as much done today as I wanted to.

I have been hem hawing around lately about getting an e-reader.  I wanted a Nook to begin with then one of my on-line friends got a Kindle so I stated re-searching the Kindle and realized that I wanted that one more.  Really for the money, Kindle is the way to go in my opinion.  I wanted 3G access, which is standard on the Kindle 2.  On the Nook, the one with 3G was actually $10 more than the Nook.  I know on the Nook you can “check out” from libraries, but our library doesn’t have e-books so that was not a draw for me.  Anywho, I ended up getting the Kindle with free 2-day shipping.  I should have it by Thursday, I can’t wait!  I will be working hard to pay for it though.  I had a 10% sale this weekend, hoping that I would sell enough to be able to get it.  I ended up extending the sale until today for a couple of repeat customers and ended up doing pretty well…I am going to be VERY busy making all these bags for the next few weeks!

Ok, I am getting tired and I want to go watch Warehouse 13…so i am going to call it a night!
