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!

Best Friends: A Reunion After 14 Years

 It had been a long, long time. Unbelievably, time did NOT standstill. People came and went in our lives. It had been fourteen years since I last saw the person who forever will be known as "MY BEST FRIEND." There's no need to hide anything. I was nervous. Those five tenants who rented my uterus for nine months at a time were less than friendly to my body. Not that it should matter, he saw my best and worst side for two years, and now should be no different. Saturday time DID standstill. It seemed to drag on and on. I was introduced to his son. It was like looking through a time machine...he had the same hands, fingers, and fingernails as his dad and his bottom lip matched his. They had the same neck and the shape of their eyes. Wow! Genes are pretty amazing ! I stood against the chain link fence, #72 embedded in my line of vision. He was at the starting line and I was ready to watch him race . It would be the first time I'd seen him race--something he loved. This was

Sometimes Waiting Isn't the Worst Thing

We were giddy and today we learned Sometimes Waiting Isn't the Worst Thing. My grandma called this morning around 11am. She had some errands to run and then she'd be by to visit. She comes over once a week. I usually do her hair and we drink coffee and enjoy being women . My two smaller children were so excited. They refused to nap exclaiming they were waiting for " Charlotte the Great "! By Noon, they were wired from their sleepiness and in need of a nap. So, I promised when Charlotte the Great came, I'd wake them up. By 1pm I was restless. Where was she? My stomach was upset, I contributed this to the six pieces of Hershey's Bliss I'd devoured while waiting. And still...I waited. I really had no place to go, but by 1:30 pm I was feeling like I was late. Like I needed to be somewhere. I think I was just bored and looking forward to "girl time" had me anxious. Then it happened. About 1:57 pm the phone rang. My Grandma on the o
