Get Your Craft Fix on with Zahoomi

 If you're like me you love handmade anything and are always on the look out for a craft fair or marketplace. Thanks to Zahoomi the craft show comes to you online. Anyone who enjoys crafts realizes that sometimes in your browsing you see something that strikes you as the perfect gift. You still have rows and rows to browse before committing only to discover you forgot where the seller was  or you bought an item, took it home and realized it had far more use in your life than you imagined and you want to buy more. It's common knowledge that getting in touch with the seller can be difficult, if not impossible once the fair ends.

As a crafter, you've stumbled across something popular. You're making it hopefully for the masses, but displaying your product is costing you in fees and driving your cost up to pricing that's unattractive. It's a struggle to balance the overhead with the cost and still offer it at a fair price and make a little something.

This is where Zahoomi comes in. It's a unique concept that will change how crafts are seen and purchased. One visit to Zahoomi and you'll recognize the difference. Shops that are closest to you are shown first. It's buying local at it's finest. There's no hunting through index after index to buy locally and support local artisans. It's helping support your communities economy and community members. As an artisan, it's free to list your product, a small fee will be charged only once your item sells.

Once on the site, you can shop by category, item, color and more. It's totally customizable to help you find what you came seeking and maybe a few surprises along the way.

I love textiles and I discovered an adorable butterfly quilt on Zahoomi.

In addition to the picture, I can read a description about the item, view additional images, see the price, where it's coming from and more.

I can join the camoflauge craze with a ruffled purse:

Buy soaps that are only commonly available at Farmer's Markets or high end organic stores:

And even get some shopping in for my furry family member:

Zahoomi is a great place to get your craft on whether you're buying or selling. There's something here for everyone. Find your item, bookmark your favorite seller and support local artisans!

Disclosure of Material Connection: This post is brought to you by Zahoomi. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”.

September 2008 Issue of Family Fun

 I always wanted to write. To be a travel journalist, live like a resident, see it as a tourist. It hasn't worked out that way so far... Someday... In the meantime, check out page 80 in the September issue of Family Fun Magazine. In the box on the lower left-hand side of the page is my idea! I love Family Fun Magazine. We have subscribed to it since my second child was born, some fifteen years ago. It's changed some, and some not. It has excellent articles and they are all geared towards being a family...I love that! My favorite section is the cooking articles. I love to try new recipes and FF gears theirs so I can actually cook a great recipe with simplicity so the kiddos can do most of the work! Again, page 80...check it out!

High School Musical 3...and the Mini-Superstar!

The alarm clock downstairs rang announcing today was the day for High School Musical 3 and the mini-superstar living in our basement. Today was the big day. My second child was selected as an "extra" in the filming of High School Musical 3 . Oh, he was excited. He took forever getting ready. Shower, then an extra-long facial, followed by hair gel, hair spray, and my guess, cologne as well. He put on his brown cargo pants and Abercrombie and Fitch shirt and loaded his backpack with his change of clothes. And then, at 8:30 am he stood in the kitchen all gussied up with backpack on and ready. We had to tell him that check-in wasn't for 2-hours and settle in. I think he was sure the clocks had stopped. The excitement was killing him. Finally, it was time to go. As my husband covered instructions with him, what the money was for, where to meet for pick up, where the payphone was, here's your lunch, blah, blah, blah....my son's only response was, "Can...

Desert Thunder--Speedway Illustrated December 2009

Image
 Long before the Modified Circuit knew him, I met him. It was a long, long time ago...almost 25 years ago. He was seventeen a legend in motor-cross and destined for greater things than he'd ever imagined I met him in a sterile hospital with over-polished floors. The decor a bland grey and muted blue . I was sixteen, he was seventeen. It was seven weeks since our birthday. I don't remember him before that moment. I've written about him several times in my blog. Perhaps you remember " Reflections of a Friendship " or " Best Friends". To see him now, featured on the cover of Speedway Magazine's December 2009 issue is impressive. It's not anything I ever doubted he could do. It's not something that defines him to me. It's something that shares with the world the man I most admire--the man who is more whole, more complete than any other person I have been fortunate to meet. Enjoy this tribute written by Mike Adaskaveg and published by Speedwa...
