I couldn't have said it any better

100 Sales

I made my 100th sale in my beads shop, Bacchus Beads!

I feel like it is a huge accomplishment and symbolic milestone. I would have never made it without the support of my loyal buyers on Etsy. As a huge thank you to all of my fellow jewelry makers in Etsyland, I would like to extend a 10% discount on your entire purchase for the rest of the week until Sunday, November 16th at midnight.

Use the discount code 100SALE in the notes to seller and wait to pay until I send you a revised invoice.

Thank you again!!

I tried

to be cheery today and made an attempt to let dueling marshmallow's brighten my day, but they couldn't for long.

I can't pretend to be happy when California is now discriminating against an entire group of people because of who they love. An entire group of people who had the right to enjoy marriage under the law and now they do not. It's wrong and I will not be quiet about it until all Californian's are treated equally under the law once again.

OMG

Too cute and funny!
I love to stumble.

Sadness, Barack Obama's grandmother Madelyn Dunham dies

The Illinois senator's campaign issued a statement under his name and that of his sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng:

"It is with great sadness that we announce that our grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, has died peacefully after a battle with cancer. She was the cornerstone of our family, and a woman of extraordinary accomplishment, strength, and humility. She was the person who encouraged and allowed us to take chances. She was proud of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and left this world with the knowledge that her impact on all of us was meaningful and enduring. Our debt to her is beyond measure.

"Our family wants to thank all of those who sent flowers, cards, well-wishes, and prayers during this difficult time. It brought our grandmother and us great comfort. Our grandmother was a private woman, and we will respect her wish for a small private ceremony to be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, we ask that you make a donation to any worthy organization in search of a cure for cancer."
