must find inspiration!

Well I haven't completed my website goal, yet. Although I did find some good sites to get me started. I added a couple on the right of this page for anyone else who needs help too...

This afternoon I plan to get some basic code uploaded - I have to at least get the basic "This site is coming soon" stuff off of there & put my own "This site is coming soon" blurb on there :)

I have added a few things to my eBay store & have cropped a few pics...will hopefully add 3 or more listings today....must find inspiration! I'll go have a Frappuccino first ;) that'll help...ttfn

HTML & Email Signatures

I'm learning more and more about linking and html, it's just the beginning though. I'd like to get my site up and running by the end of this week. I need to find some time to go over this book that I have (I have 2 of them on html, but I'll never get to both of them this week). I also found a good PHP tutorial link: PHP.net - hopefully, this will help me, too.

What I really need is a Webpage Angel to walk me through this!!

I did learn how to do these today:

BidSlammer Snipes eBay

PayPal
plus, a fancy one that I've added to the bottom of this page.

Baby Steps....

I even went in and tried this as an email signature:

Smile & Be Happy!! Mindy


Check this out!

A little to much, maybe, for an email signature - but a good place to practice... ooh, speaking of practice pages, maybe i'll practice on the hobbyhungrytest blog.... ;) bbl

Handmade purses and bags

So, my sister quilts these purses. She's made me 4! :) (she's a good sister, or am I spoiled, who knows! lol) Anyway, she also sells these from time to time and I list them on my eBay site... I thought I'd post some pics here, too, so y'all can see them! If you want one made especially for you, email me and I'll get her to make you one (or you can check out her blog babyheaton.blogspot.com). She usually charges from $30-45 for a purse and a little more for a bigger bag (like baby bags or craft bags).

Here is an example of the purses:

Technology... what the?!

I got a new PDA... a very cool one, in fact. It is a Palm TX.... sweet. The problem, you ask? WiFi! I can't seem to get it to use the T-Mobile software to go WiFi (or the other 3 things I've tried)! Argh.

Now, I'm pretty savvy when it comes to computer techno-geek stuff (as is my sis, lol), but this has me stumped. I hope to have it figured out later today, though. Wish me luck.

But first, gotta run to my son's indoor soccer game! (shameless kid plug) My son is 5 years old and this is his first year playing soccer. Actually, he played in the summer, outdoor, for the first time, and now he's playing indoor soccer. He's having a lot of fun with it and they are cute to watch.... so, I shall be back!

Oh, one more thing, I promised purse a couple purse pics. I'll post those later today, too.

My sister's adopting a baby!

My sister, Melissa, is adopting a little girl from China! We are all very excited! She has sent in all her documentation to China and is now waiting for a referral (who the baby will be). I am planning to go to China with her to meet my new niece! I can't wait! It should happen this year, but we aren't sure when, yet. She said the timeline right now is 8-9 months before she gets her referral and then a couple months to travel. So, we are hoping it'll happen this fall! :) She isn't sure about the baby's name yet, but I'm trying to convince her to name her after her Auntie Mindy! (hehe, that would be me!) :) She's considering using my middle name as the baby's name and I'm VERY excited about that!

So, my sister is making handmade quilted purses to help raise a little money toward the trip to China. I will definitely post pictures here and you can check out my ebay store (HobbyHungry) to buy them! They are gorgeous! These are high quality purses with pockets and velcro closures. She has made me 4 purses, and love every one! If you want her to make you something special, she can do that too, please send me an email or submit a comment with your contact info. The purses range from $30-45 plus shipping/handling.

I am also trying to raise a little money so I can go with her. (I have to be there!) So, please check out my other auctions, too!

I will definitely keep you posted on the adventure!
