I can often be found neglecting those now. ;-) Actually, my team on Etsy is called "Selection Perfection," and is a treasury-making team. I love it, even though it takes a lot of time and work to organize and run things, even with Jessica, my co-captain. I have made a lot of great treasuries and great friends.<br /><br />Moving on to the not-so-important question of the day is this: "What would you do if you had any money around?"<br /><br />And the all important answer is this: buy a caramel apple. They are delicious. They can also be decorated quite festively this time of year, which is a bonus!<br /><br />So, I am wishing I could send all of my loved ones many Happy Christmas wishes and caramel apples to jam into their stockings! Enjoy!<br /><br />Love,<br />RachelleRachelle Sharphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17884652200732005559noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271368320391792728.post-16546302334979593632010-08-04T19:11:00.000-07:002010-08-04T19:47:27.706-07:00Well, I'm Back!Well, I'm back; with totally selfish reasons too! :-) I have (obviously) been struggling with blogging. (Don't worry, it is not limited to just my blogging!) I have been quite depressed this year and that often makes it hard to do Anything! However, my sister pointed out to me that it is time for my "semi-annual blog list" where I post what I want for my birthday. LOL! So, please know that (with the exception of this blog entry, which doesn't really count) I am determined to write more frequently and please forgive me as you read my greedy list! <br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">My Birthday list:</span><br /><br />I would like some practical things that I need.<br /><br />1. <a href="http://shop.avon.com/shop/product.aspx?src_page=product_list.aspx&level1_id=0&level2_id=0&pdept_id=0&dept_id=0&pf_id=37291">AVON Skin So Soft Hair Removal cream</a> (I am hoping to load up on this one because I love it!)<br />2. <a href="http://shop.avon.com/shop/product.aspx?src_page=product_list.aspx&level1_id=0&level2_id=0&pdept_id=0&dept_id=0&pf_id=31726">mark Lemon Sugar Scent Mist</a> (I suppose this is not a true need...)<br />3. <a href="http://shop.avon.com/shop/product.aspx?src_page=product_list.aspx&level1_id=0&level2_id=0&pdept_id=0&dept_id=0&pf_id=38671">AVON Pedi-Peel Pads</a><br />4. <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=187839&catid=89899&fromsrch=intuition+plus">Schick Intuition Plus Refill Blades, Advanced Moisture, 6 pack</a> (also hoping to load up on these)<br /><br />More "Fun things"<br /><br />5.

Go to Etsy.com and type in "WishListRachelle" as the username and "cheese" as the password. Then go to the "Favorites" on the top left hand corner of Etsy's front page.<br /><br />If you need help with anything on the list above, just let me know! I'd be more then happy to help you! ;-)<br /><br />Thanks for reading this list if you made it all the way to this point with me!

Under-clothing (contact me for sizing info.)<br />2. Money for contact lenses and glasses<br />3. Intuition Plus Razor cartridge refills (approx. $10-15)<br />4. Money for medicine in 2010. (Really fun, I know....)<br />5. Money for a haircut - long overdue!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"More Exciting things I really want"</span><br />1. Gift certificate to Bath and Body Works<br />2. Gift certificate to Target<br />3. Box of See's Peanut Brittle (not the sugar-free kind.)<br />4. <span id="ctl00_cph1_productUpdatePanel">mark Self Sanctuary Lemon Sugar Scent Mist, found at meetmark.com ($12.00)</span><br />5. Scarf made by my roommate Dana with her sweet knitting skills ($25.00, payable to Dana for supplies and time.)<br />6. Scripture tote, black<br />7. Gift certificate to Nordstrom<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">And here is where I made a list of other things I want a lot:</span><br />Under the Etsy.com name "WishListRachelle" you can look at my favorites. I love all the items in there. They are not in any particular order. In fact, the cheapest item (approx. $6.00) is what I want most; the Lemon soap from Dennis Anderson. (I need some more soap soon and that kind is good on my skin and smells great!) If you haven't used Etsy, just ask me how and I'll help gladly. ;-)<br /><br />So, that's my long Christmas list. Hopefully it's helpful and if not, well it was a bit fun to make, so that's okay!<br /><br />If you could have just one thing for Christmas, what would it be? (More wishes or lots of money does not count!)

This is my justification/apology blog entry.<br /><br />First things first: I am sorry. When you "follow" a blog, you expect a little bit of writing now and then. I have not been following through with that, which certainly makes a blog much more boring. <br /><br />So here I am, now faced with two options: 1. Do a quick summary and try to catch everyone up on the last few months of my life, or 2. Move on and do a better job. <br /><br />I think I am picking option #2. Frankly, it is much easier. And my life hasn't really been exciting/funny/outrageous lately. The only thing that is of note lately is that I have had some health problems. (One of the reasons for not updating...) It is possible that I have (another) chronic pain condition and I have had some tests to determine a diagnosis. In the meantime, I am on medication that makes me drowsy A LOT! <br /><br />Health problems aside, I am making it a goal to Blog 2-3 times per week. I cannot promise that every entry will be witty, entertaining, or mind-expanding, but I will certainly try! :-)<br /><br />- Rachelle<br /><br />P.S. My next entry will be my Christmas List - sweet, eh?Rachelle Sharphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17884652200732005559noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271368320391792728.post-1242546783815328492009-07-01T10:19:00.000-07:002009-07-01T10:23:28.660-07:00A Shop Blog Giveaway!Just wanted to do a quick blog to let everyone know that I'm having a Giveaway on my shop blog!

First, in the middle is my roommate Dana, who is like my sister. All of the animals in the picture belong to her, but I get to help love them (and clean up after them too...) From Left to Right with Dana are Jelly Bean, Bianca, and Mimi.<br /><br />But the main focus of this picture <span style="font-style: italic;">and blog</span> is Angel. Who is that, you may ask? Angel is the ginormous cat in the right hand corner; the cat that is bigger then all the little doggies...<span style="font-style: italic;">put together</span>.<br /><br />Oh, yes, you may have seen bigger cats (in a record book, on the news, or perhaps your local zoo, etc.) but none with a bigger attitude then Angel! Don't let her innocent name fool you. In fact, some (read: Dana's brother Andrew) have even gone so far as to call her "God's Wrath." I don't know that I go that far, but she definitely has some attitude to spare, and is a little crazy-scary sometimes.<br /><br />One time she even bit me right in the face! (To be fair, that was <span style="font-style: italic;">probably</span> my fault and she <span style="font-style: italic;">probably didn't </span>want to cuddle with me at that particular moment, despite my hopes...but who has time for details...)<br /><br />Angel likes to do annoying things. One of these things is this: if someone leaves a glass of water out - and it really doesn't matter where - Angel <span style="font-style: italic;">will</span> find it - she will tip it over. She sneaks up on the cup and takes her little (read: enormous and hairy) paw and just tap, tap, taps it right over. Neat-o. What a fun trick. Fat cat can spill big puddles. Hurray. However, she is very pleased with herself. I would even go so far as to say she is quite smug much of the time....but perhaps this is because she is a cat!?!<br /><br />Anyway, I hope you enjoy this little glimpse into my family. More later. :-)Rachelle Sharphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17884652200732005559noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271368320391792728.post-26242951550304862142009-04-24T21:38:00.000-07:002009-04-24T21:42:41.576-07:00Janae is Having a Baby Boy!My sister Janae just found out today that she is having a baby boy.

Well, on to the note:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Hi Rachelle, </span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Yay! Thanks so much for featuring my shop in your blog. I'm so happy you love your new owl and he is your favorite. My favorite item in the shop is the 1960's pig planter, with its pointy legs and round pot belly, I think it is the cutest. If I wasn't selling on Etsy, I would be designing websites and would be selling on Ebay, I was so happy to close my Ebay store. Yay for Etsy and all the wonderful people in the Etsy community.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Thanks so much!</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Wendy<br /></span><a href="post-create.g?blogID=3271368320391792728#" onclick="togglePostOptions(); return false"></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span><br /></span>Rachelle Sharphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17884652200732005559noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271368320391792728.post-16617364779495605872009-03-28T17:32:00.000-07:002009-03-29T03:05:10.518-07:00Etsy shop of the week: Fruitflypie<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqQynsQJZbb_Dr6zgfPeWb5SgCEOypnpXce3It3jXl6mrYKAt9Rxum028Sn6thlByxExgXpGKKRxViq_azeHR7tSdBqlR8TjEqcG_FyHIe_MG30yESQvgrOnsPxIhRl_amLCOWRL2VOH4/s1600-h/fruitflypie+owl.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqQynsQJZbb_Dr6zgfPeWb5SgCEOypnpXce3It3jXl6mrYKAt9Rxum028Sn6thlByxExgXpGKKRxViq_azeHR7tSdBqlR8TjEqcG_FyHIe_MG30yESQvgrOnsPxIhRl_amLCOWRL2VOH4/s200/fruitflypie+owl.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318402171480597746" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);">With the perfect combination of a mod style and a homey-vintage feel, </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 204);">this item is definitely a strong contender for the favorite Etsy item I've ever ordered!

I am not going to lie. I have been envious over that car. Though I am not exactly a "car person," it fulfills all of my "basic requirements" for a car; it is extremely nice to drive and has a great sound system, and I love loud music in the car!<br /><br />Somehow, in my mind, the car became intertwined with my friend's identity; intelligent, confident, and perhaps a bit arrogant, if it must be admitted.<br /><br />And then my friend got sick. He had a breakdown, of sorts. For several days, things looked pretty hard, as far as future prognosis was concerned. He spent several days in the hospital.<br /><br />One of the things he insisted on was that we drove the Infiniti to the hospital the first day we visited him.<br /><br />I remember sitting in the car, inhaling that "New Car Smell" air freshener tree scent and wondering if my old friend would ever be back, would ever drive with the same confidence again...I cried with his mother and sister and we all missed him.<br /><br />I forgot how illness works. Unless you fall or have some sudden accident, illnesses and hospital visits are usually slow in coming. For example, most people have a gradual build-up of plaque in their heart before a heart attack, or a gradual downward descent into a depressive illness before a visit for mental health.<br /><br />But here is the catch; once you get out of the hospital you are not all better. I have had numerous surgeries and hospital stays and should know this. But for some reason I thought it would be different this time. My friend would waltz out, smile, and resume the witty banter he was known for.<br /><br />Only he didn't. He emerged resembling portions of his former self, but is/was different in so many ways. It is almost like getting to know a new person.<br /><br />Today we rode together in the Infiniti. We listened to loud music and I sang. And I realized that getting to know "new people" can be a good thing.Rachelle Sharphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17884652200732005559noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271368320391792728.post-49812735159428245032009-02-25T23:25:00.000-08:002009-02-25T23:30:19.516-08:00The Most Awesome Slug - Wish I could knit!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA8RUcH20WCzQb4sqcV16kC4p9impa4-8PFlyuR-WskyTJMOTxPiVH43MGMltFj2k4Y3X0zYqK4qHpxNLCDSX0yVHknyN2k66Q0gVyp4I81abyeQooEfl6u-gphDpKQzQRi05dIn9Y4us/s1600-h/knitted+slug.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA8RUcH20WCzQb4sqcV16kC4p9impa4-8PFlyuR-WskyTJMOTxPiVH43MGMltFj2k4Y3X0zYqK4qHpxNLCDSX0yVHknyN2k66Q0gVyp4I81abyeQooEfl6u-gphDpKQzQRi05dIn9Y4us/s200/knitted+slug.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307004459937513986" border="0" /></a><br /><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/HP_ADM%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-3.jpg" alt="" /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"With their big mouths, these are the most gregarious garden pests ever!

<br />
<br />Made under my roommate Dana's Etsy ID, but entirely by me. Quite a fun one to do as I LOVE all the hearts and girly things about Valentine's Day. :-)
<br />
<br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=39323">Here's the link to the treasury</a>, which should be good for about one more day until the treasury expires. I've captured a screen-shot and will try to load it for those who miss out on the live treasury. If you can, please log on and click on all 12 of the seller's boxes and check things out. I can always dream of front page, right?

Rachelle reappears!<span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-size:180%;">Welcome back to the blog</span>....<br /><br />I haven't written for quite awhile due to a variety of reasons. </span><br /><br />1. Working too much at my (old) new job. <br />2. Participation in the "PHP" at ReDiscover. This program is basically tons of different types of therapy for hours a day.<br /><br />Perhaps I will write more about the previously mentioned things later, but right now I am going to share with you a CD soundtrack playlist that I just found straightening my room. I made this CD several years ago and titled it, very humbly, <span style="font-weight: bold;">"The Ultimate Kissing CD."</span> You could also just call it, <span style="font-weight: bold;">"AWESOMETASTIC."</span> Though I would possibly change it up a bit here or there, I stand by it in saying it is pretty sweet if you want to have a Kissing Soundtrack. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" ><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Good to keep in mind for Valentine's Day, eh?</span></span><br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >The Ultimate Kissing CD</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1. Savage Garden - Truly, Madly, Deeply</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2. Alanis Morrisette - Head Over Feet</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3. Sting - Fields of Gold</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">4. Nickel Creek - When You Come Back Down</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" >5. Sara Evans - I Could Not Ask For More<br />6. Van Morrison - When the Leaves Come Falling Down<br />7. Garth Brooks - To Make You Feel My Love<br />8. Faith Hill - Breathe<br />9. Dave Matthews Band - Crash<br />10. Allison Krauss & Union Station - Let Me Touch You<br />11. Des'ree - Kissing You (Romeo and Juliet Soundtrack)<br />12. Mandy Moore - Only Hope<br />13. LeAnne Rimes - I Need You<br />14. Depeche Mode - Somebody</span><br /><br />DISCLAIMER: Now, I caution you when using this CD. First, I release myself from any responsibilities, should something bad, good, or <span style="font-style: italic;">extremely good</span> happen, ha ha. Also, though it is Near Magical, the CD is not Miraculous and can't be forced on someone. Sorry! But all in all, the success rate is 100% for those I have loaned the disc to. Score! ;-)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">In the future I will also be featuring links to sweet Etsy sites. Keep an eye out and just be glad:</span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">RACHELLE IS BACK ON THE BLOG FRONT!</span></span><br /></div>Rachelle Sharphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17884652200732005559noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271368320391792728.post-23373958703079891622008-12-11T12:00:00.000-08:002008-12-11T12:03:21.374-08:00I have reappeared!Sorry for disappearing off the face of the earth. I got a new job about 2 weeks ago and have been working my tail off for The AVON Store at Zona Rosa in Kansas City, MO. We just opened and I love all of the items. Yes, Avon will soon be earning a spot on "The R List." I can just feel it!Rachelle Sharphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17884652200732005559noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271368320391792728.post-39578338497914051532008-11-24T07:39:00.000-08:002008-11-24T07:51:02.829-08:00An Update - Long Overdue!Well, a few days ago I returned from about a week long vacation in Philly. I visited my sister Janae, brother-in-law John, and their daughter Danielle. It was fun! We didn't really see any of the "traditional tourist spots." Instead, we went to a craft fair and sold some of our wares from our Etsy shops. Alas, the fair was poorly attended, but we had fun with her friend Dana, who is very cool. <br /><br />I also wanted to experience a Philly cheesesteak sandwich and so I did. It was pretty good! <br /><br />Next on my list was IKEA. There is an enormous IKEA between my sister's house and the airport. So, on the way to the airport we stopped there. It was awesome and I sure wish they would open an IKEA near my house! <br /><br />So, although we didn't do the traditional stuff, I left happy with what we did. Of course, it goes without saying that I played many board games with Janae and John, which was really fun. They are, after all, masters of "board gamery."Rachelle Sharphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17884652200732005559noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271368320391792728.post-75332180880757169092008-11-09T20:24:00.000-08:002008-11-09T20:36:49.218-08:00Something New on the "R List"<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.44094375.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 372px; height: 371px;" src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.44094375.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Well, this addition of the "R List" features another Etsy shop. If you haven't visited Etsy, you should definitely swing by there and check it out. It's freaking awesome. And Paloma's Nest is one freaking awesome shop there. I saw <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17074581"><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255); font-weight: bold;">this dish</span></a> there and was practically moved to tears. Not because of any strong political affection for Obama, though I am fond of him, but because it's such a strong, yet quiet and profound mantra. I love it very much and may gift it to some people for Christmas, but most likely will keep it for myself.Rachelle Sharphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17884652200732005559noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271368320391792728.post-58400840835255667602008-11-06T14:27:00.000-08:002008-11-06T14:35:45.858-08:00WIN IT!!! - MEOW Lip Balm - WIN IT!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmxghqk0cQyTSrLd-JuANIFAuI8sTKugT3ChyphenhyphenlYhWyvo24C2-y-iPP7rvl7nj3mMEhI4brPF_1heWhY1z79CLgoRCmA5hyiwHj_xWlWvxx0WnionAG9qfBm64ozL31QfQADYWqHAFkeQ0/s1600-h/cat+lip+balm+balm.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 75px; height: 75px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmxghqk0cQyTSrLd-JuANIFAuI8sTKugT3ChyphenhyphenlYhWyvo24C2-y-iPP7rvl7nj3mMEhI4brPF_1heWhY1z79CLgoRCmA5hyiwHj_xWlWvxx0WnionAG9qfBm64ozL31QfQADYWqHAFkeQ0/s200/cat+lip+balm+balm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265676186245727954" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIRjIvBhXOS4pHmzhpKLM1NIPGrr4UgFeWLb92P_FIbZ8SEBV34ir7FgflanNmJs2JXBpjuvJSNgkLyeVoFhNGAmUMVeq0bVgBvqQ1OL9SM3-5_7mCho7I2X-T-ODkSOKB995GRK4lkjU/s1600-h/meow+cat+lip+balm+cat.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 175px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIRjIvBhXOS4pHmzhpKLM1NIPGrr4UgFeWLb92P_FIbZ8SEBV34ir7FgflanNmJs2JXBpjuvJSNgkLyeVoFhNGAmUMVeq0bVgBvqQ1OL9SM3-5_7mCho7I2X-T-ODkSOKB995GRK4lkjU/s200/meow+cat+lip+balm+cat.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265675988484241026" border="0" /></a><br />Here's the good stuff from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16780893">www.elladean.etsy.com:</a><br /><br />MEOW!!

We had a <a href="http://www.sephora.com"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Sephora</span> </a>open at our local mall, the Independence Center. The first 100 people in the door got a gift card and a mirror. You better believe I was in that group! I won a $15 dollar gift card, which I used on a fabulous <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Sephora</span> brand lipstick. I also got a free makeup bag for being a "Beauty Insider," which is like the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Sephora</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">equivalent of frequent flyer - or buyer - miles. Anyway, it was fun. The music was pumping and practically all the employees had false eyelashes. It is, of course, a known fact that a party can be judged by the amount of people there with outrageous eye-makeup. So, I deem this grand opening a success!<br /><br />I did productive things as well and whisked myself off to Target to apply for a job on one of their computers. Target could possibly be a cool place to work and getting a discount at a store is always good. :-) <br /><br />More Later - and keep entering the WIN IT WEDNESDAY contest - drawing this Wednesday!<br />-Rachelle<br /></span>Rachelle Sharphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17884652200732005559noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271368320391792728.post-10186739432653250042008-10-26T16:37:00.000-07:002008-10-26T16:40:37.088-07:00BOGO SALE at my Etsy store!<span style="font-weight: bold;">Hello Everyone!
