Why I needed new Bowls

So I bought this wonderful yellow Tupperware bowl for making cookies and cinnamon buns. Decided on Friday that we should have fresh cinnamon buns for coffee break. Mixed the dough and put it in the oven to rise.

When I rise dough in the oven - I warm up the oven a bit then turn it off once I put the bowl in. For some reason I didn't think it was warm enough, or the dough was to slow, so I turned the oven on again to warm it up a bit, thinking I would turn it off in a minute or two. You know what's coming don't you?

Luke came home (hadn't seen him for 4 weeks) just as I turned the oven back on. Forgot about it until it beeped when it reached 350 degrees. Went running to the oven right away - but it was too late. The bowl just wasn't the same.

Yes - it still is a bowl, but Tupperware had these really lovely red ones on sale - so I bought them. Aren't they pretty?

I will be way more careful with these bowls - hopefully I've learned my lesson.

I'm Sorry :(

I haven't been commenting back much so far this week. The week has been a zoo and it's only Wednesday!! My friends and I are setting up our Christmas Craft Store in the local mall again - that was Monday and Tuesday. Today I'm going for coffee with my sister-in-law whom I haven't seen since the beginning of August - and we live in the same town!! The afternoon will be spent at the store. Hopefully Thursday I will be home and can visit everyone again.

Please visit the Etsy mini's if you have a moment. They are all new for November and the shops are all promoting Christmas items! It's never to early to start shopping :)

Have a great Wednesday!

Twitter Tree Tuesday #5

My friend Jacki over at Christie Cottage came up with an ingenious idea for promoting items in your shops.

The Twitter Tree will be hosted by a different shop each business day.

Monday: Christie Cottage
Tuesday: Audrey's Country Crafts
Wednesday: Eluna Jewelry
Thursday: I Wish I May, I Wish I Might
Friday: SEO Web Pro

If for some reason you are having trouble posting on any of the days, just click on the Twitter Tree button that is on the top left sidebar and it will take you to the home page. Post there - I check every day and will twitter your items.

Here are the 3 items that I would like tweeted today:

twitter account: audreyscrafts

And tweet this for Jacki please:

ChristieCottage's Current Giveaway
http://christiecottage.blogspot.com/2010/10/win-it-wednesday-new-giveaway_27.html

Here are the instructions:

You can tweet one or all of mine.  Also PLEASE tweet everyone's items if you can.  Or just one from each commenter would be fine too.  We are trying to promote everyone :)

List 1-3 items from any of your online shops that you would like me to tweet for you, along with your twitter account so everyone can follow. ( No "mature" items, please). Be sure the item is twitter ready (do not just post the links to the item - please add a brief description as above) 

I will tweet for you.

By reaching out through blogger and blog follower's twitter accounts, we will reach a new audience of viewers and hopefully land some sales. After all, we all have our online shops to make money:)

Hope everyone has fun promoting and maybe we'll get some sales!!
