Personal | hashtags and other sorts

I completely skipped an entire month of blogging. Although the excuse is legit, I don't like excuses.

I recently (late August) got a new job. I went from accounting/bookkeeping to... Ready for it? 911 communications officer. I have been in training pretty much since day one, which let me just throw it out there, is stressful. I was released on the phones Monday Oct 27th. So until I begin police radio training, which will probably take place in a few weeks, I've been able to catch up on some projects. 

We have periods of downtime during the 12-hour midnight shift, so I'm using that downtime wisely, between reviewing work related stuff and getting my projects out of the way (such as this beauty)...

And since starting this job, I'm home during the day, which is a totally new experience for me. Between catching up on sleep I've also managed to work on some of my "at home" projects. 

Here are a few I've been able to accomplish...

I bedazzled some acorns (super cute)

We carved some pumpkins

I made my sons werewolf Halloween costume

I made some cute and warm ear warmers 

I made a tiny hippo

I painted pumpkins 

I created a Halloween wreath out of ribbons

I made a baseball leather key ring for my sons fall ball baseball coach

I started to play with Christmas gift ideas for my boyfriends platoon

Needless to say I've been busy..

I also just opened up my new (and always improving) Etsy store:

Right now I just have a few things listed but will add upon that once I see an interest. 

Also, if you are on Instagram, look for the following hashtags to find either of my pages and follow me...

#loveyourpopo

#firefliesandsweettea

And that's about it for now. I'll probably be doing another DIY project with coconut oil and essential oils for a Christmas gift giveaway and/or the sugar scrubs. I might also be doing one for the gifts I end up making for my LEO's platoon for Christmas. Last year it was an Officers Survival Kit, which I think ill do again this year along with a nice ornament, but we'll see.

For now, goodnight and good morning.
