Spring has sprung here in California, and there's nothing more adorable about spring than woodland creatures and their cute little babies! We really love all creatures big and small (we did a fundraiser last year to benefit a shelter), and we show that love through creating adorable stuffs in their image. So I'll stop rambling and just show you the cute. </div>

It's a proven fact that people who nerd out on stuff are the coolest people. It's science, guys.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like to nerd out on a lot of stuff. Some people have specific fandoms they love and nothing else, which is cool too, but I prefer to put my eggs in lots of baskets, if you know what I mean. I happen to also know a lot of makers who nerd out on a lot of stuff, or at least understand those of us who do. To make this easy, I'm splitting the fandoms up into sections, so read all the way through or scroll to your specific interest!</div>

Being the Mad Hatter that I am, I can't resist making tiny hats that are Alice in Wonderland themed for <a href="http://etsy.com/shop/DownwithPlumes">Down with Plumes</a>. Although I have made many,<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/178791687/handmade-tiny-top-hat-one-of-a-kind?ref=shop_home_active_1"> this</a> is one of my absolute favorites. I had the fairy door on it custom made for this hat specifically, which took more foresight than I normally dedicate to my hats. It was worth it all the way along.</div>

I can't leave My Little Pony out of Down with Plumes, because so many girls love those cute little ponies! I almost had a heart attack when I found these heart ponies, and love the texture with the ultra soft feathers!

I'm a Star Wars addict. My husband is a Star Wars addict. My kid is a Star Wars addict. It seems reasonable that I would keep Star Wars bags in stock in Hubba Hubba Handbags.

2015 was an interesting year, folks. A lot happened, but I think the event that summarizes the weirdness of last year is this- <b>Kanye wants to run for president</b>. What a time to be alive.</div>

Selling handmade gives us a glimpse of the world through shoppers- what people were into spending money on in 2015. It may seem mundane, but it's quite interesting when you think about how <i>attached</i> to money people generally are. They normally don't just give it away for nothing, so lots of people buying one thing from one shop means something. It shows what an average person was interested in during 2015. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this reason, we've done our research, and across many different types of shops, found what people were most interested in spending money on in 2015.</div>

First up, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pelhuaz/?pnref=story.unseen-section">Pelhuaz</a>- Her tassle necklaces were her number one seller in 2015! This doesn't surprise me, personally. I see this becoming a thing people are interested in more and more. They're beautiful, simple, but unique and colorful. As far as jewelry goes, it's a great way to mix simplicity and style. </div>

In jewelry for kids, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/VivandOlive?ref=search_shop_redirect">Viv & Olive</a> has found that her "Dainty Meets Chunky" necklaces have been the most popular. Again, we're finding the best of both worlds. Big, dramatic beads, matched with simple, small beads. The big beads bring personality to the necklace, while the small balance it out. They're kind of amazing, if you didn't already know that.</div>

From <a href="http://heartandsoles.storenvy.com/">Heart and Soles</a>, we have "<a href="http://heartandsoles.storenvy.com/collections/989766-video-games/products/11796309-five-nights-at-freddys-hand-painted-shoes">Five Nights at Freddy's</a>" painted shoes. This is a horror-inspired video game, which is apparently being turned into a movie as well. There's a pretty good customer base for this game, which to those who have never heard of it, might be a bit of a surprise. 2015 was a year for video games, definitely, so it's very telling that video game shoes are a top seller! Nerds unite!</div>

Even with all the madness of 2015, people didn't let it get in their way of loving simple and classic things. Seashells are so beautiful and remind so many people of vacations with family, quiet days reading, and time spent with a new love. Something for the home that reminds people of wonderful days will always be a hit, no matter what year!</div>

I haven't seen Teen Wolf, so I can't speak to that, but BFF necklaces are coming back with a fiery vengeance, and I welcome their return. (Hell, I bought matching Millennium Falcon necklaces for me and my husband because we're dorks like that.) Anyway, I think the lip balm can be pretty easily explained by people realizing that handmade is better than store bought in many cases (one of them being self-care products). </div>

Last year, people loved cupcakes and people loved elephants. Of course people would love elephants on cupcakes. The play on size alone is fun, being that elephants are huge and cupcakes are mini cakes, but elephants were also a super common baby shower theme (I'm in my late twenties. Everyone around me is having babies. I would know.). This is a trend that can continue forever and I'll never tire of it. The elephant trend, that is ;)<br />

Friends, I have some bittersweet news to share. <a href="http://pelhuaz.com/">Pelhuaz.com</a>, our go-to for simple, fun, or funky jewelry, is closing down shop. I say this is bittersweet for two reasons- 1) Zeide, the shop owner, will now have more time to spend with her precious babies and doing the things she loves, and 2) we will still be able to make custom requests via pelhuaz@icloud.com!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://pelhuaz.com/shop-4/">Pelhuaz</a> jewelry has been featured on many of our lists here, and I am personally so thankful that I got to know the person she is. She is kind, helpful and caring, but with a sassy streak that I've loved having in my life. I'll definitely be encouraging her to share her custom work with us, as we can't just go cold turkey.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To give a big farewell to us all, <a href="http://pelhuaz.com/shop-4/">Pelhuaz</a> has low, low prices right now! To top it off, she is offering a coupon code to use as well- <b>ENJOY60</b>. Some of her gorgeous work is featured below and available, so stock on up for birthdays, housewarmings, engagements, weddings, friendship, "just because", or any other type of gift you might need!</div>

Gather 'round, friends, as I paint you a word picture of holiday parties. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once a year, we are lucky enough to have this magical season called "winter" (sorry to rub it in, Florida people). It gets cold outside, and the weather gets ugly, but something happens in our hearts. It's our season of giving, sharing, and being with those we love. We gather together to show appreciation for each other, which is something many people can't be bothered to do throughout the year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, many of us keep it simple with these parties. But many of us go over the top and decorate like mad. We cook too much, have some drinks, dress up pretty, give gifts, and make sure every person present marvels at the details of our party. This post is for those people.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As holiday parties are concerned, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/198282276/holiday-apron-toddler-apron-little-girls?ref=shop_home_feat_4">Sweet Pea Designs by Dee</a> is marvelous!

Is your party hostess just a little bit twisted? Does she have slightly unruly (in the good way) children? Get them coal. The joke will be much appreciated, and they'll have something they can use everyday!</div>

Bats, spiders, rats, witches, pumpkins and zombies... It's Halloween month! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the time of year when makers get <i>a little </i>crazy. We have Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Years to plan for, and we definitely don't have enough time to do it all. We're sure going to try, though, because that's how we do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
From jewelry to soap, and wreaths to shoes, we've got <b>a lot</b> going on with this list. Strap yourself in and let's get to it.</div>

Think of how cute these would be as little Halloween gifts. You could add them to baskets instead of candy! Just be sure to mention they're not actually candy ;)</div>

The best season of the year arrived today! Unfortunately for Californians like myself (and other warm staters), we'll have to wait a bit for the cool weather that comes with it, but, it's officially soon! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm ready for scarves, boots, boot cuffs, hats, hot chocolate, crisp weather, rain storms, and most of all, warm fires. I love the fall colors on everything, and everyone all bundled up in cute coats and fun mittens. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

First, <a href="http://adorebynat.storenvy.com/collections/240007-favor-tags/products/3325137-vintage-inspired-so-thankful-thank-you-tags">Adore by Nat</a>. We share her tags, and other paper crafts, on almost every list. Do you know why? I will tell you. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's because she has something for every theme, occasion, or time of year that exists. She does them all fantastically. If you need invitations, tags, favor tags, thank you cards, invitations, cupcake toppers, banners, party centerpieces.... If you need stuff that is made from paper and is also adorable, you need <a href="http://adorebynat.storenvy.com/collections/240007-favor-tags/products/3325137-vintage-inspired-so-thankful-thank-you-tags">Adore by Nat. </a></div>

Growing up, I had <i>a lot</i> of great teachers. Some because they were kind, some because they were well informed, and some because they taught me quality life lessons. But there's one who stands out among the rest. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was always a language-focused child. I was good with grammar, spelling, vocabulary, and reading. I took French classes from a relatively young age, and it always came easily to me. I was very lucky in that way. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In high school, I had one teacher who taught me more than language skills- he helped me understand the importance of personal voice. Not just in writing, but in every aspect of creation and life. That the way I feel is important and worth nurturing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I think back and try to imagine where my blogging road began, I can clearly trace it to a single day, where I learned that writing isn't about structure and syntax. It's about the uniqueness of every person's voice, and the power that resides within. Because of him, I sit here today, writing this blog post. He didn't show me the path to being a millionaire or how to ace the SATs, but he did lead me to something I love to do, in the outlet I choose to use it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Without that one teacher, I could be very different person today. And I <i>don't</i> want to be. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Think about your teachers you had, and the fond memories you made with them. Remember that your children will grow up to have similar memories , and they might not get a chance to thank their teachers as adults. Remember that you can pay it forward to those teachers, for the ones you had that you appreciate. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
World Teacher Appreciation Day is October 5. Even if all you can do is thank your child's teacher, don't let it go by unnoticed. However, if you <i>want</i> to do more, we've compiled a list of awesome teacher appreciation gifts that are handmade with love, easy to order, <i>fantastic</i> quality, and full of heart. </div>

I know this has all been a huge lovefest for teachers, but let's look at a hard fact for a second- kids are <i>gross</i>. They bring countless germs, runny noses, and dirt from who knows where into a room where an adult has to corral them all. By the end of the day, I'm sure teachers want few things more than a shower to wash it all off. </div>

On the same note, it must be very trying to talk all day long. Whether it's telling little ones not to eat something weird, asking semi-little ones where their homework is, or trying to get through to big kids, it must never end. I can't imagine how chapped they must feel by the end of the day. </div>

<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">*Steps onto soapbox*</span></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Before we kick off our stories of strong women, I'd like to address two topics that are <i>very</i> near to my heart- Feminism and strength. First, the feminism...</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've seen a disturbing trend lately, where young ladies are declaring they don't need feminism. As much as I respect people's opinions on their own lives and hate to tell others what they do or don't <i>need</i>, I just have a hard time believing these women. Here are 5 of my reasons:</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1) Without feminism, you and I, as Americans, wouldn't be able to work, own property, <a href="http://womenshistory.about.com/od/suffrage1900/a/august_26_wed.htm">vote</a>, have rights to our <a href="http://healthcare.findlaw.com/patient-rights/how-did-abortion-become-legal.html">own bodies</a>, or have<a href="http://womensenews.org/story/rape/090701/spousal-rape-laws-continue-evolve"> marital rape</a> considered a crime. We need feminism today because giving up the fight is <i>not</i> honoring women who dedicated their lives to making ours better. You don't just get to quit this one.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2) Without feminist movements, <a href="http://www.firstpost.com/india/a-24-21-per-cent-conviction-rate-for-rape-in-india-lower-every-year-1096959.html">places</a> that do not treat women with equal respect would <i>never</i> get better. You need feminism because <a href="http://mic.com/articles/43075/5-countries-that-respond-to-rape-victims-by-throwing-them-in-prison">they need your support</a>. Women in those places don't have a voice, and places like America need to stand and speak for those who cannot.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3) We still live in a society where women <i>must</i> fit into a certain role. Women are the weaker sex, made for child birthing and rearing, fickle minded and emotionally driven. In custody battles, women are historically more likely to be awarded custody, this is true. But that lately hasn't been proven to be because of <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/cathy-meyer/dispelling-the-myth-of-ge_b_1617115.html">court decisions</a>, and it's certainly not because men hold less power.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4) There are people who still believe that <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/trump-lawyer-rape-spouse-article-1.2306078">a man cannot rape his wife</a>, simply because she is <i>his</i> wife. That is his <i>property</i> to do with what he pleases. Women are still the <a href="http://www.ncadv.org/learn/statistics">main victims</a> of domestic violence in the United States, especially when it comes to stalking, homes with guns, young women, and rape.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5) Historically, when Americans stop fighting issues, we <i>regress</i>. I don't want to get into a bunch of problems and start a bunch of arguments, but the problems that are hot buttons today are largely things that have been pushed aside, ignored, and belittled over <i>decades</i>. They're coming back (or amping up) now because people stopped pushing. Let's put it this way- If we stopped fighting for scientific advancements- stopped trying to make our species smarter and more efficient- we would stop making progress, and eventually backslide. Even if it's just a little, it's a problem. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You, and me, and your mom and dad, and your brothers and sisters, and your neighbors... Every person you've ever met, and all those you haven't, need feminism. It is a movement for equality. People will argue it's not, but the fact of the matter is not every movement needs to fight every issue. People that donate their time and effort to saving rain forests don't hate swamps... They just chose rain forests. Similarly, feminism isn't about hating men, it's about equality for women. Feminism does, sometimes, call for men's rights, as in seen in the case of dress codes. Feminists insist that men are more than a pair of reactive eyes and blood vessels. They have brains and <i>can</i> control themselves in the presence of a woman in a skirt. They can, because they are overall capable, smart, qualified humans, just as are most women. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My point in all this is- if you want to say you don't need feminism, you are <i>welcome</i> to that opinion. But please, find something, <i>anything</i>, that supports your idea before spreading it around. You could be hurting the next generation of girls without even knowing it, and, let's be honest, they have enough working against them.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Strength.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's a hard word to define. Overall, we tend to jump to the assumption that it correlates to something physical, but some of the most admirable strength is far beyond that. When someone is strong, it can be a lot of things, and the more we think, the more definitions and examples we can come up with. But the overall theme of "strength" relies on someone doing something difficult, seemingly with ease. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">People that are strong are people we admire. The phrase "strong woman", specifically, has admirable connotations that many young girl strive to achieve in their families, circles of friends, and communities. As they should.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The world needs strong people, but the world we live in today needs <i>more</i> strong women. There can't be enough. It can come in any form at any time, but it's imperative that we keep raising strong, independent, dedicated kids to take on our battles when we're done fighting them.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, this is why stories of strong women are important. We need them in our communities to help younger girls understand the importance of strength. They need to believe, with every little piece of their being, that they have a right to feel safe in everyday life. They need to see that they can drive change and influence the entire world, just by being who they are. They need to watch glass ceilings shatter, so they can shatter the next above. If we keep raising girls to be strong women, then eventually, hopefully, we'll be able to honestly say we don't need feminism. Until then, we'll keep on keepin' on, and tell our stories.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">-- I do have someone who I look after. Her name is Ivana Bustamante. She is a mentor, a friend, a role model, and a "role mother". I met her back in 2005-2006 when she was assigned from Peru to help the Insular branch of the company that we worked for to establish a PMO. I wasn't Project Manager at that time, I was only a Customer Service Representative and she saw potential in me.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She managed to get me into a Project Management Training, made me part of the PMO implementation project, and made it mine. I discovered what I was really good at, thanks to her. It was like opening my eyes for the first time. I was born to be a project manager and you know that when you love to wake up everyday to go out and managed your project. Currently I'm a SAHM and use my project management knowledge everyday as a Mom and as a Small Biz owner. Even though she returned to Peru, we are still in contact (technology is a blessing) and we talk and chat frequently. Ivana is currently working in a very important office at the Peru Ministry and she is still my role model.--</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Grandma Gert did not have an easy life by any means. She was the second oldest of 4 kids and was an identical twin. Her poor mother had no idea she was pregnant with twins, so imagine her surprise when she delivered two 8+lbs babies. Grandma Gert lost her father when she was 16 to a logging accident and her mother became ill around a year later, so she gave up a full-ride scholarship to WSU to stay home and help support her mother by working in the orchards.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When she was 18-years-old, she met a strapping young man from Chelan who decided to join the navy. After about a year, they ended up getting married and starting their family. They welcomed 4 boys (Dennis, Thomas, Harry and Dale) and 1 girl (Barbara) over the next 8 years. Barbara was born with polio and lived to see her 5th birthday before she passed away. A few years later Dennis passed away in his sleep from a brain tumor at 16 years old.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Gert managed to hold down multiple jobs in between taking care of her brood and baking, cooking and canning. She became Douglas County’s Assessor in 1989 and held office for a few terms before she decided to retire. Apparently to her retiring means you just move onto doing something else because she worked in the kitchen of the Waterville school for many years and helped the church and community with any and every fundraiser they’d put on. People would come from all over Washington to get one of her pies or some of her canned goods/jams.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She was preceded in death by her husband, Howard, and shortly after that she lost another son, Harry, to stomach cancer. During this dark time in her life she was still adamant about baking and canning, along with making sure her garden was thriving. She loved cooking so much that she was preparing the chili and chowder for the church’s annual Christmas caroling before she was taken to the hospital. She insisted that the family not put anything away because she’d “be right back”. She went home to be with her husband, sons and daughter on New Year’s eve, exactly a week after she went into the hospital.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">--Someone asked me today if there were any inspirational tough women in my life. That's a tough one for me, I can think of many but I would have to say my maternal Grandma and my Mom. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My Grandma was all mine from the time I was born until I turned 5, and my stinky brother came along. She took me on all kinds of trips with her and I spent all the time I could with her. When I was around 9 years old she was diagnosed with cancer. She chose to fight like heck and she won!!! She of course got very sick and lost her hair, but you would have never known by her attitude.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Soon after her Dad got very ill she took the time and made she he was taken care of until his dying day, not knowing that all the stress of caring for her Dad would bring her cancer back full-force. This second time around she decided that she wouldn't fight, that she would rather have a quality life, not quantity. While I miss her every day and I wish she could see the beautiful great-grandkids made for her, I know she is watching over making sure I don't mess up too bad. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My Mom and I may butt heads (a lot), but in the end she did a pretty amazing job with my brother and I. She did a lot of our raising alone, but we never went without (even if we didn't agree at the time), I learned from an early age you have to work for what you want, (my brother took a little longer, he's the baby). She and I are very different in a lot of ways but I thank her for showing me how to be a loving, caring mom. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These two ladies have shown me how to live, how to fight, and how to love. I couldn't imagine my life without either of them taking part in it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In collecting these stories, I find myself inspired by not only the strength within them, but the variety it presents itself in. The moral here is that people will be inspired by you being you. Don't let anyone tell you what it means to be a woman. It means whatever you want it to mean, and someone out there will admire you for it. </span></div>

<i>Quick note- As I write this, I'm realizing this is my favorite collection ever. For Women's Equality Day. It couldn't be more appropriate. Sorry to burst in like that. And, GO!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did you know Women's Equality Day is August 26? Good to know, right?! As super awesome, hand-making, stuff-selling, business-running, challenge-tackling, gangstress-as-can-be ladies, we have one thing in common- the desire to make stuff that makes people happy. Since we're ladyfolk, we can't really help but relate to other ladyfolk. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have stuff made for every kind of lady. Ones who like pink, and ones who don't. Ones who like to drive trucks in the mud, and ones who prefer delicate jewelry. Ones who like to wear bold accessories, and ones who prefer knick-knacks. I could sit here and list types of women all day, but who's got the patience for that? Not me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Moving along- we figured we'd show you some all-around awesome stuff. In a couple weeks, we have another post that will go live on Women's Equality Day. It will have stories of awesome women and how they have impacted our sections of the world. Keep an eye out for that!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, if you've been with me long, you know how I feel about <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/WeildHairAccessories?ref=search_shop_redirect">Weil'd Hair Accessories</a>. I'm addicted. It's a little creepy. I'm big enough to admit that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
You see, she understands that girls like <i>"boy"</i> stuff too, like fantasy stories with dragons and crazy ice zombies and the most <i>badass</i> female protagonist <i>(maybe?)</i> in mainstream media today (arguably). Yeah, you know the one. So she saw these figures and (because she's a genius) thought "necklace pendants!!!" My friend and I benefited from this moment of pure craft clarity. She made these-</div>

-and although these belong to me and the aforementioned friend, she can make them for you too (or ones like it, or ones with other figures, or pretty much whatever you can imagine). And then you can be gloriously adorned, just like us. They can also be car rear view mirror hanger thingies, if that's how you roll. </div>

This last one is last for one reason: <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ShabbyChicSoapCo?ref=l2-shopheader-name">Shabby Chic Soap Company</a> left me in charge of picking the item from her shop for this list. ME! Well, this is what happens when I'm given to much power.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ShabbyChicSoapCo?ref=l2-shopheader-name">Shabby Chic Soap Co.</a> rocks my socks. I use her soap all.the.time. It's not drying, not oily, overpoweringly fragrant (but I bet you could ask for that), or overpriced. Her variety is huge, the selection covers all ages and interests, and her customer service is absolutely fabulous. </div>

So, because I'm given a wild amount of power on this (and it's 2:26 am and I get a little loopy late at night/early in the morning), I'm going to throw a whole bunch of stuff at you. Scroll on through, friend.</div>

Picnics are weird, right? We forego all advancements in food, <i>willingly</i>. We give up tables, walls and doors to keep out bugs, utensils (mostly), and formally cooked meals. We opt for raw foods, eaten with our hands, on a blanket, on the ground. Strange, but fun. No one <i>doesn't</i> have a great picnic memory. I suppose that's why we have an entire month- August- dedicated to picnics!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Usually our first awesome picnic memories are as kids, with family or friends. Now that we're adults (or look like them, at least), we have the opportunity to organize and enjoy our own picnics with our families and friends. We get to ensure our kids have great picnic memories to look back on fondly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Part of what makes a great picnic is what you take along. The blanket, the basket, the food... But also the people, and the photos taken to cement those memories. Whether your picnic is a simple get-together or a birthday party, here are the things you need to have to make sure it is beautiful and unique!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As usual, <a href="https://www.adorebynat.com/">Adore by Nat</a> has wonderful paper crafts for the event. Between the <a href="https://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/adorebynat/7135253">summer barbecue cupcake toppers</a> and the <a href="https://adorebynat.com/product/ladybug-birthday-banner-party-decoration/">ladybug birthday banner</a>, your picnic can be decorated uniquely and perfectly themed.

To outfit the little ones at the picnic, I couldn't recommend anyone more highly than <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/SweetpeadesignsbyDee?ref=l2-shopheader-name">Sweet Pea Designs by Dee</a> and her great prints!

<br />The Gangstress Ladieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12544178397535895069noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6617748950286653954.post-81583315821740789332015-07-24T15:00:00.000-07:002015-07-24T15:00:04.554-07:00Parent's Day <div style="text-align: center;">
Being a parent can be a thankless and exhausting job. Kids are demanding, and little ones have virtually no respect for asking for something. Lately my four-year-old has just been walking up to me and shouting his needs. Not angrily, or particularly enthusiastically, but certainly very loudly. "MILK." "POP TARTS." I, of course, do not accept his request until it is spoken kindly, with the word "please" in there somewhere, at a normal volume. But still, rude.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, Parent's Day is this rare unicorn of a holiday that is devoted to (arguably (meaning I have no proof)) the largest population of under-appreciated individuals. And as such, you, as a parent, should enjoy it. If you're reading this and you're not a parent, I can guarantee you know <i>at least</i> one person who is a parent, and something as simple as "Hey, Happy Parent's Day" will be appreciated. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, as this holiday is approaching (it's on July 26), and since I am a parent who feels for other parents, I've put together this list (with the help of my fantastic handmade buddies) to give you ideas for fun things to force your children to do with you on Parent's Day, simply for your own crafty happiness.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The owner of <a href="https://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/home/adorebynat">Adore by Nat</a> got her promises in writing, you guys. That's where the rest of us have been going wrong. Her child is now bound to his statements. Genius. "Make coffee", you say? Why yes, you can come live with me. But we'll need a notary real quick.</div>

The owner of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ShabbyChicSoapCo?ref=search_shop_redirect">Shabby Chic Soap Company</a> also found a great way to celebrate the day. The kids get to play in paint and have all kinds of messy fun (which they, of course, must clean up), and she gets a great memento of her kids all cute and little, with little feet. She even wrote you out these detailed instructions for how to make your own! *See photo below for instructions*</div>

To create the "V", lightly press one foot at a time, at an angle on the canvas to the right of the "O" handprint. *NOTE* If you are using a wrapped canvas, do NOT have your child stand on the canvas as it will not support them. It's best to lift the canvas and press it to the foot instead.</span><br data-reactid=".3g.1:5:1:$comment1824000204491181_1871853273039207:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1.$comment-body.0.3.0.$end:0:$text23:0" /><span data-reactid=".3g.1:5:1:$comment1824000204491181_1871853273039207:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1.$comment-body.0.3.0.$end:0:$text24:0">4) Next, you want to paint the "L" and "E" on the canvas. You can free hand this, or use stencils. Just note that if you are using stencils, you should wait for the handprint and footprints to be dry before placing the stencil on the canvas to ensure they do not smear.</span><br data-reactid=".3g.1:5:1:$comment1824000204491181_1871853273039207:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1.$comment-body.0.3.0.$end:0:$text25:0" /><span data-reactid=".3g.1:5:1:$comment1824000204491181_1871853273039207:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1.$comment-body.0.3.0.$end:0:$text26:0">5) You can finish up by outlining the letters, handprint/footprints or add the date with stamps or painting freehand. Then once all the paint has dried use a sealer to protect your work. We used a spray paint sealer with glitter for a little extra fun.</span></span></span></span></td></tr>

Our resident bubblegum necklace maker over at <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/WeildHairAccessories?ref=search_shop_redirect">Weil'd Hair and Accessories</a> put a fun spin on the day, interviewing her kids with fun questions. Over the years, keep the different interview questions and answers on paper. This way, you can look back and see how much your child has changed, and possibly find a mildly embarrassing (and wildly hilarious) blip to show their first crush/middle school friends/first date to a dance/whoever floats your boat.</div>

From the interwebs, PBS has some great crafts for kids listed <a href="http://www.pbs.org/parents/crafts-for-kids/" target="_blank">here</a>, but my favorite are these <a href="http://www.pbs.org/parents/crafts-for-kids/recycled-plastic-bottle-flowers/" target="_blank">recycled plastic bottle flowers</a>. Now, obviously these will take supervision with the younger kids (the plastic edges might be sharp), you could still find yourself with a no-waste, no-death, custom bouquet of flowers you can keep forever.</div>

I may be the only parent that would enjoy making this, but it's too cute not to include. From <a href="http://www.parents.com/fun/arts-crafts/kid/">Parents.com</a>, this <a href="http://www.parents.com/fun/arts-crafts/kid/crazy-for-cardboard-crafts/#page=2" target="_blank">little cardboard space ship</a> would be super fun to make, and adorable to display! They're sized for peg dolls, which can be found custom made in many Etsy and Storenvy shops. Again, this will likely take some assistance, because spray paint and small, unsupervised children do not mix. </div>

From <a href="http://activityvillage.co.uk/">ActivityVillage.Co.Uk</a>, there are a lot of cute ideas, but this <a href="http://www.activityvillage.co.uk/clay-photo-frames">clay frame</a> definitely jumped out at me. It's a great gift for more holidays than Parent's Day. It would be great to work on with your kid, but if the child is old enough, they could totally make this without you! This tutorial even calls for air-hardening clay, so you don't even have to help them bake it!</div>

Summer is in full swing, and most people are spending more time outside this month than any other month of the year (probably). To make your surroundings enjoyable while you're outside, we've put together a sample of some of the amazing outdoor handmade items available!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

In the handmade world, men tend to be overlooked. Sorry, guys. We really don't mean to. It's not like we have a secret club of crafty women, sitting around, cackling, and planning how to exclude the menfolk. We don't have the time to collectively plot against you. It's just that there's not that much stuff to hand-make for guys, especially grown men. Extra especially- manly men.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, you throw us a challenge. Generally, you don't even shop that much. My husband would be happy to never have to shop for anything again. He recently learned our Safeway delivers groceries.<i> I</i> didn't tell him <i>for a reason</i>. I'm never going to get to go anywhere again. C'est la vie, folks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, even in the face of adversity, you can always find someone, somewhere, who will prevail. I have located some of these people, and I have also rounded up some great ideas for Father's Day gifts (free and/or handmade ideas).<br />
<br />
Let's start with handmade items.<br />
<br />
Our first item is a super funky and fun <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/192403536/fathers-day-gift-keyboard-picture-frame?ref=shop_home_active_10" target="_blank">picture frame</a> from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HandmadeMomsLLC?ref=l2-shopheader-name" target="_blank">Handmade Moms LLC</a>! It is creatively adorned with computer keys, perfect for the tech fan!<br />

Now for our (mostly) free DIY section!<br />
<br />
All this idea takes is a sheet of cardstock/scrapbook paper- DAD glasses<br />
<br />
I printed these out for my favorite dad for his birthday last year. He thought they were hilarious and wore them around most of the night. Print <a href="http://www.mrprintables.com/fathers-day-printable-glasses.html" target="_blank">here</a>!<br />

You Super easy, super quick tutorial. There are lots of ways of doing this, but I have found this to be the most reliable way. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You will need-</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-adhesive (hot glue or E-6000)</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-hair clip/comb/pin/headband</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-hair thing</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-felt circle/square/rectangle (base this off the shape and size of the piece you're using). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_3YyvJVTddGDgDqKbv35B275k1PryPmAuOE6EzyUYeXYCvHpLO81bXhZAdgrtxYuSBNNZ-rnN818qgyx185YgwdEZZWo06Loc0afs25Mka2zTAgYVblEhZlBRzoDLyu3KJiB_ip1w0Uk/s640/blogger-image-1180020457.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_3YyvJVTddGDgDqKbv35B275k1PryPmAuOE6EzyUYeXYCvHpLO81bXhZAdgrtxYuSBNNZ-rnN818qgyx185YgwdEZZWo06Loc0afs25Mka2zTAgYVblEhZlBRzoDLyu3KJiB_ip1w0Uk/s320/blogger-image-1180020457.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is seriously so easy. Ready? Let's do it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First, take your hair thing (whatever you're using as the pretty part of your clip) and put the bottom face up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, put your felt piece in between the two sides of your clip, like so.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoOKFUxemGUC2rdYM2df9fN1a37rWevMU_6qT3iUOgb70RO3lExMQu2UVyH6B-7ZGdUtKvsQ90iSNSS_5gpmdFlNk_vpOyGxYrMDf_5O3QOO0mblIigFljR7SrIKA684ZkK8nftbItytY/s640/blogger-image-203065453.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoOKFUxemGUC2rdYM2df9fN1a37rWevMU_6qT3iUOgb70RO3lExMQu2UVyH6B-7ZGdUtKvsQ90iSNSS_5gpmdFlNk_vpOyGxYrMDf_5O3QOO0mblIigFljR7SrIKA684ZkK8nftbItytY/s320/blogger-image-203065453.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, put glue on it. Not enough that it'll seep everywhere, but enough to seal well. Make sure you are applying glue so the clip will still be able to open.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Make sure your edges are all glued down and give your hair thing a wiggle to make sure it's secure. I have been using this method to make my hair pieces for three years and have no trouble with it. The felt helps the clip stay in place, too! It's not as smooth as the metal clip, so it doesn't slide as easily.</div>

We're experimenting today with a whole new set of questions for the Featured Crafter! I'm calling this one "<i>Behind the Scenes</i>" because this post will provide insight on what Denise of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/SweetpeadesignsbyDee?ref=search_shop_redirect" target="_blank">Sweet Pea Designs by Dee</a> finds to be most popular and what it's like for her to run her shop.<br />
<br />
Before we get into all that, I'd like to introduce you to Denise! She is the owner and designer of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/SweetpeadesignsbyDee?ref=search_shop_redirect" target="_blank">Sweet Pea Designs by Dee</a>, where she makes children's clothing and accessories, including aprons, dresses, bow ties, suspenders, and much more!! In her shop, you'll find many items to make your little girl or boy the cutest they can be!<br />

<br />
When Denise was young, she won awards with her art, and has always been an avid crafter. She always thought she would be an artist, but after getting married and having two wonderful children, she stuck a pin in that dream. In 2013, Denise retired and needed something to occupy her time, so she returned to her longtime friend, crafting.<br />

Today, Denise provides adorable items with amazing quality and years of experience to back them. She carefully selects fabrics and designs to bring the best to her <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/SweetpeadesignsbyDee?ref=search_shop_redirect" target="_blank">shop</a>! Let's hear what she has to say about it all :)<br />
<br />
Do you find your customers to be more inclined towards classic colors and styles?<br />
<br />
-My customers seem to like bright colors. My best selling style is the peasant dress.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDE158EPpzUAIhXIw3zzf67dXje0YLk_r92gnnhbsmluhucpJD9NIdmQsIC4KnSDVbFz6FLHFMdh1Pg6_4w1F6F7sI0XiWnbxQL1JiuZxYjhs81E94i5G8__yG8i9unTesmrBFli_TGsc/s1600/Sweet2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDE158EPpzUAIhXIw3zzf67dXje0YLk_r92gnnhbsmluhucpJD9NIdmQsIC4KnSDVbFz6FLHFMdh1Pg6_4w1F6F7sI0XiWnbxQL1JiuZxYjhs81E94i5G8__yG8i9unTesmrBFli_TGsc/s1600/Sweet2.jpg" height="320" width="270" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I can see why this is a best seller. It's <i>adorable</i>.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Do your most popular colors change with styles, seasons, or otherwise? Or do you find them to stay consistent throughout the year?<br />
<br />
-Both. I try to change with the seasons, three quarter length, or long sleeves for Fall and Winter. But I keep sleeveless dresses in my shop as well for those warm weather states.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
When customers return feedback to you, what is the most common compliment you receive?<br />
<br />
-I seem to get a lot of compliments on my choice of fabrics and colors.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
As someone who makes and sells childrens' clothing- if you could tell all of your customers one thing about your life or your shop that they might not know, what would it be?<br />
<br />
-I love my customers! I so enjoy making clothes for all those little Sweet Peas out there and I love seeing pictures. I put my heart and soul into every item I make.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
How to you choose fabrics for your non-custom dresses? Do some colors and patterns speak to you more than others?<br />
<br />
-The fabric definitely speaks to me! Some fabric just seem to jump out at me and I know exactly what to coordinate with it. Sometimes though I hold fabrics for weeks before I find just the perfect fabric to coordinate with it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I don't mean to start this with the most obvious statement in the history of humanity, but- moms are <i>awesome</i>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bringing another life into this world offers the opportunity to go from "good human" to "great human." Not all are up to the challenge, but those that are change our world every single day. I know this is, like, a list of stuff, but I'm going to tell you a little about the moms in my life first. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I grew up mostly with my dad. Not by my mother's choice, but that's a <i>long</i> story for a different day. Growing up with a dad (or just a dad) has it's benefits, it's fun moments, and it's own outcome, but moms are different. Until I was 16, I only had strong mother figures in my life every other weekend, on holidays, and during summer vacations. But, when I moved to my mom's house, it <i>all</i> changed, and I got a crash course in what it's like to be mothered. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All of a sudden, I had my mom, Gramma, and my aunt, all within a mile of my house. The change wasn't as radical as you might assume, but it was quite different. It gave me an opportunity I'll never regret having- I got to see what moms were like around their kids (by "kids", I mean extended children as well). I got to see what the women with my blood line were doing, what worked, and what didn't (I've always been one to watch and build mental patterns, so I pick up on stuff like this unwillingly). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It gave me a chance to see that my Gramma was just as tough as she was kind. That my aunt is just as patient as she is strict. That my mom could suck up her losses, work her <i>ass off</i>, and do for her kids. I got to see them work together to pull off some of the most fabulous Christmas Days and birthday cakes that anyone has ever experienced. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's the thing about all this, though... If I asked any of them today about the moments I remember that make a difference in my life, they likely wouldn't remember them. Do you know why that is? I don't, but I have a guess. It's because, in those moments, <i>they were just being moms</i>. They were doing what they did day in, and day out. They don't see the amazing acts in each day, because that's just what they do. They didn't realize the impact an intricate celestial cake or a simple day out would have, because they were just doing what made them happy- being a rockin' mom.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, to summarize, moms are awesome, and they generally don't realize how awesome (that's why those Dove campaigns work). Don't let this Mother's Day go unnoticed because the mothers you love so completely never let you go unnoticed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay, I'm to the point now, I swear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you've seen time and again, I have this little group of super duper talented women, and we make stuff with our hands (like the <strike>gangstressi</strike> <strike>gangstresses</strike> gangstresseese we are (still no clear pluralization for that)).

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

They're great for winter, but as I've discovered, they're fantastic with iced coffee too! They help keep the cup from sweating all over the place AND help keep the drink cooler. Win-win!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Arbor Daaaayyyyy!!! I live in an area with lots and lots and <i>lots</i> of trees. I chose this place mainly because of that fact. I have a tree tattooed on my arm. It's safe to say I love trees, so it's also safe to say I love Arbor Day. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm going to bring you into my brain with me, and then we'll start this list. First, the obvious- trees are <i>awesome</i> because they keep us alive. They provide shade, fruit, and turn gorgeous colors in the fall. These are all things that are wonderful, but become mundane in our day to day lives. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Less obviously, they're awesome because they're symbols of resilience, strength, age, and beauty. The oldest organisms in our world today are trees. They've been alive longer than <i>anything</i> else existing. They were undoubtedly paramount in the beginning of life. They sway through storms that rip apart houses and knock down power lines. They find sustenance in areas where few other life forms can. Trees are just awesome, you guys. For realsies. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So, we pulled together some items that represent our mutual appreciation for trees. Ready? Cause I am. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
