my last long run...

Today was my last long run before the half marathon on Sunday. I ran 8 miles and also fell flat on my face. Like...wiped out--flat on my face! I ran by my mom's house, while she watched my kiddos, in the town I grew up in and ran XC, winter track and spring track for years and years so the courses are so familiar and fun for me. Right around the 2.5 mile mark my foot hit a damn uneven sidewalk and I oh so gracefully tripped, landed on my hands, then knee and then somehow on my hip and finally wound up on my back. Seriously? I'm 31. There I was laying on my back in the middle of the sidewalk. BWAHAHA! I'm seriously such a klutz, always have been and apparently always will be. The first thing I looked at was my pants bc if I ripped my pants then I would have cried, but all was well. I brushed off my hands and continued on for 5.5 more miles. :)

I gotta say I really can't believe that I am up to 8 miles and feel good. I ran 10 last Sunday and felt pretty good too. It just feels so great to accomplish something and to have my old hobby back. Plus some ALONE time isn't so bad either ;)

I've got an easy week (running wise--doesn't help much that Em's party is SATURDAY!) and I'm more than excited for race day!! My goal is to be under 2:10, we'll see how it goes...wish me luck!!

Happy Easter

Hope you all have a wonderful Easter!!

love fellow bloggers :)

I love hearing from fellow bloggers when they mention my creations. It's always such a nice surprise and brings a big ol' smile to my face! :)

A new customer of mine recently bought some bows and then wrote me saying she mentioned my bows on her blog. How sweet! Thanks so much Kiley! Check it out HERE!

Another one of my customers just started up her own Etsy shop and still somehow found the time to mention my Bunny Clip in a treasury. I LOVED this treasury..."Late for an Important Date? Never...at Mad Hatter's Tea Party!" Sarah is a DOLL and has some pretty amazing and unique items in her new shop, Fairy Princess Couture.

Then, literally JUST now, I heard from Carrie from Whitt's Kits Fabrics. She started a Spring Linky on her blog...what a great idea! I know we're on our 100th day (well, seems like it) of rain here in Jersey so some bright, cheery spring things were just what I needed. Do YOU have something that reminds us of SPRING that you'd like to add to the linky? Head on over to Whitt's Kits blog and link up!

My favorite Etsy Easter stuff...

I love holidays and I love Etsy so.... how about some Etsy Easter shopping?!?

I recently stumbled upon Peace, Love and Kids and think they have the cutest little outfits for kiddos. They have stuff for girls AND boys, tutus, bloomers and more. (who doesn't love a ruffle butt?) This carrot onesie would be the perfect comfy Easter outfit...

I can't get enough of Bakers Bling Shop lately. This Easter Egg Hunt Kit is simply the cutest thing ever! AND it's only $11.95...THEN you can use coupon code "SPRINGBLING" to save 10%! Check out their shop for Easter Bunny cupcake kits, Easter edible sugars and a full collection of Peter Rabbit items!!

Find this ADORABLE onesie & legging set over at Mama Runs With Scissors, of course! She has the cutest matching sets around :)

Kid-n-Around Creations always amazes me with their ideas. Seriously? An Easter Bunny Key?! I LOVE this!! Tons of other Easter Basket stuffers too, last year I think I got all of my kids Easter stuff here. (I mean...the Easter Bunny did!)

My mouth is watering just looking at these super sweet Easter cookies. I just can't take the cuteness!! Once again, The Art of Cookies out does herself!

Every kid needs a super cute Easter Basket, right? I saw these at Personalize 4 You...love how they put a little twist on the traditional basket and used buckets!

My Etsy shopping wouldn't be complete without swinging by Chickabug's shop to see what's new. Aren't these the cutest? If you're hosting an Easter Egg Hunt--these are a must have!!

There ya have it! "Hoppy" Easter Everyone!!

(and I just totally convinced myself to host an Easter Egg Hunt next year!!)
