Kids Speak: Soooooo innocent!

Happy Valentine's Day! Did you know that as a teacher you can get valentine's presents? Well, today I got a few presents and among them were flowers, keychains and of course CHOCOLATE! Here is the conversation I had while I was opening a box of Godiva chocolates:

Me: Ooooh! It's chocolate! Thank you!
Student: You're welcome. It was supposed to be a present for me but I didn't like it.

My New Favourite Song...

From Boys Like Girls

"Two is Better Than One"

I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life
And I thought hey
You know this could be something
'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing

'Cause maybe it's true, that I can't live without you
Well maybe two is better than one
There's so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two, is better than one

I remember every look upon your face,
The way you roll your eyes, the way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everythings okay
And finally now, we're leaving

And maybe it's true, that I can't live without you
Well maybe two is better than one
There's so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two, is better than one

Yeah, yeah

I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life
And I thought hey

Maybe it's true, that I can't live without you
Maybe two is better than one
There's so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking

Oooh I can't live without you
'Cause baby two is better than one
There's so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
And I've figured out with all that's said and done
Two, is better than one

Two is better than one

The Power of Tags!!!

I've been quite busy with teaching lately so I haven't been tending my shop or making any inventory. So last week, I was checking my email and was surprised to see that I made a sale! I was so excited that I was literally jumping off the walls. This was the first sale that I made where I didn't know who the person was. Not only did I not know the person, but I didn't even do any promoting (ie. renewing/listing, etc). I realized that I got this sale because the customer was looking for wedding jewellery and must have done a search on Etsy. The sale made my day and I stayed up till 12am (normally, I'm in bed by 10pm) packaging it and couldn't sleep all night.

Moral of this story: tags work! and so do nice looking pictures!
