My sister, the Bling Bling Fairy!

How cool is my sister? Pretty damned cool!!!
So, awhile back I was talking about Swarovski crystals with my sis. Can't really recall the specifc conversation, but my sister was telling me there is a rhinestone affixing tool that heat sets the crystals and how she got one for her sister-in-law.
Out of the blue, I told my mom how I wanted one of these and she says, "Well, there's supposed to be only one really good one, but I don't remember the name of it." No problem, I'll text Alyssa, she'll know the name. Here's how our text conversation goes:
Me: "Hey, do you remember the name of the rhinestone affixing tool?"
Lyss: "Uh, yeah, but don't buy it."
Me: "Oh. Ok. Why?" - thinking in my head, shoot, it's not so great after all!
Lyss: "'Cuz you might be getting a visit from the Swarvski fairy. Check the mail."
Me: "Oh my gosh, Lyss! I can't believe you did that! You're the best sister/fairy ever! Thank you!"
Lyss: "It wasn't me! It was the Bling Bling Fairy! And I mean the mythical creature, not the tranny." - this made laugh a lot! My mom didn't find this funny. I told her, thinking she would get a kick out of it. She just said, "Oh." Of course, yesterday when I told her Billy Mays died, she said, "Who?" I said, "You know, the OxyClean commercial guy." She started laughing hysterically, like it was the funniest thing she had ever heard in her life. I thought she was going to pee her pants. My husband and I just kept looking at each with shocked faces, wondering if the other got what was so funny. She's an odd duck, that one. Twisted sense of humor.

Anyway, this means future goods will be a lot more dazzling, thanks to the Bling Bling Fairy. . .not the tranny. I think I see Swarvoski crystal-laden Havaianas, coming soon to KirCreates!

Apparently I created a bit more than buzz about my new Etsy store.

So, without further ado, I give you my blog. I've been wanting to start a blog anyway, this was just the kick in the pants I needed. I will warn you, I'm not always the most interesting person, but I will do my best to not lull you into a comma with my not-so-verbose ways. I also haven't a clue at what I'm doing, so I'm just a-wingin' it here, forgive me.

"The Etsy Betsy Spider crawled up thenestbaby spout,
she promoted her store,
and got herself kicked out (not quite, but I think some of the EFFers wanted me to be),
she created a blog, just to keep the peace,
so the Etsy Betsy Spider is off to the nest again."

Couldn't think of how to end my song, eh, it was lame anyway. . .
