Do's and Don'ts (in my opinion, of course)(please remember what is stated below are *my opinions*. No names are mentioned, nor will they be. please do not be rude in the comments. if you don't agree, feel free to say so politely, or I will delete the comment. thanks!) <br />
<br />
<br />
A couple of weeks ago I was emailed rates for advertising. <br />
They were seeking me out to advertise. Which is fine. I get a lot of those.<br />
I see the rates and about faint. This has happened only twice. The almost fainting due to sky high ad rates.<br />
And let's face it. I didn't almost faint really. But I did say "are they serious?" out loud.<br />
This prompted a few comments on Twitter about advertising, and what is this world coming to, and pretty soon no small business is going to be able to afford advertising. OK, so you may be thinking I am being a bit dramatic, but am I, really?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5fCVpmglxq3FC6iSDSh0evfPFcwQDBR3Zsc-1YhyphenhyphenN4lC-8P2AEBaSVWnwaijYmbPtIdinYHedkmcdLeAS8MX3U415yThi3FKJmHWiWSOvZ_Zv0l5VhdpBPW6GuOhqvjxf35Xd9LsA7W0y/s1600/a1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="443" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5fCVpmglxq3FC6iSDSh0evfPFcwQDBR3Zsc-1YhyphenhyphenN4lC-8P2AEBaSVWnwaijYmbPtIdinYHedkmcdLeAS8MX3U415yThi3FKJmHWiWSOvZ_Zv0l5VhdpBPW6GuOhqvjxf35Xd9LsA7W0y/s640/a1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">This has nothing to do with my post, but I had to share the picture! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I love how <a href="http://www.dana-made-it.com/">Dana</a> makes it look like it's a magazine ad!</span></div><br />
<br />
The first time I almost "fainted" over advertising, was because the price was so high that I literally shouted "What the ..." H E double hockey sticks. Yep. I cuss like a sailor but not on here, m'kay? This website/blog had just started offering advertising. And their rate was $700 a MONTH! Seven Hundred Dollars. That did not include a giveaway which was an *additional* $300!!! Now we're talking $1000. $1000 could get me an ad in a small magazine! I politely declined. (though I wanted to ask what they were thinking, I refrained).<br />
<br />
I have a hard time justifying high ad prices. I mean there are so many blogs out there that have a HUGE following, but have super reasonable rates. <br />
<br />
Anyway. The rant on Twitter prompted several people to ask me what I thought was reasonable.<br />
<br />
So here it is. I really can't answer that question. But for me, reasonable is not $1000 a month. Reasonable is not even $200 a month when the blog is new at offering advertising. Why do you need that much? And I have heard it from blog owners before... if you value your blog you'll charge what you think you're worth. Well, I'm sorry. I don't agree. Charging someone $1000 a month is insane. There, I said how I really feel. I have felt so many times that blog owners are getting carried away. They're getting greedy. <br />
<br />
Now, maybe I am just too thoughtful. So what if I am? I like helping others. I like seeing other prosper and succeed. And I feel by charging such high amounts for ads on our blogs is just holding people back. Now, I realize this really is non of my concern. I get that. I know that. But for <b>me</b> it's still a concern. As I try and seek out places to advertise, or people seek me out, well, I have to think about this, do I not? And I'm sorry, but I do think about others too. I can't help it. <br />
<br />
While I know some blog for money, and some blog for fun, and some blog for business, or whatever, I just don't get why the prices go so high. Now some of the prices I would pay. For instance. If The Pioneer Woman was offering advertising or Dooce or names like that. Then yeah. Paying $500 a month would be justified. They have several hundred thousand followers. And that $500 could help me get out there more. <br />
<br />
But paying $100 a month for a blog that has 100 followers is just not my bag baby. I have to think wisely with my money. I need a return on my investment at least 80% of the time for my advertising dollars to make sense. Now I am hoping that I am making sense. Am I?<br />
<br />
I have been thinking a lot lately about sidebar ads as well. About how they have become the norm. Everyone has sidebar ads. I get to the point now where I don't even look at the sidebar, because it no longer catches my eye. This is one reason I no longer offer sidebar ads and only offer weekly blog post sponsorships. Because now-a-days people are using Google Reader or some other form of easy blog reading. Sidebar ads are not seen on those. However. If you are having a giveaway on a blog or are sponsoring a week of posts, or someone is reviewing a product of yours, then you'll be seen every. single. time. <br />
<br />
And can I ask something else? Some people are taking on so many sponsors that their entire sidebar is FULL of ads. How does this get anyone noticed? They all blur together and it's so overwhelming you end up dashing off the page because you're so overstimulated! What I have also noticed happening is those with too many ads on their blog can not do 1 giveaway at a time. So group giveaways are starting. Let me be frank. Group giveaways are ridiculous. It's like the mass grouping off ads. Your brain can't think. There is not enough time to go to everyone shop. You get all shaky and panic because you JUST CAN NOT HANDLE IT. Ok. I am being so dramatic! LOL! My point is... group giveaways take away from the point of advertising. You advertise to get noticed not to be herded into a mass group like cattle and be looked over. As a business owner we want our own attention, yes? We want to be noticed we want to show off our stuff and when we pay for advertising and giveaways we want the giveaway to be us and us alone, right? (I sound like I am starting a revolution or something) <br />
<br />
My main point of all of this is, at what point do we say "no more"? At what point to the ad rates stop climbing so high and so out of reach? <br />
<br />
What say you?<br />
<br />

The details are simple. I need some new photos for my website, and that is where you come in! We want to see YOUR pictures!! Not just pictures of our products, though! How about pictures of them in action! While a picture of the camera strap cover on the camera is fine, or the iPhone sleeve next to your phone is fine too, we would love seeing some shots our our products being used - like so...<br />

These pictures are old. I took them over a year ago. An old friend was the model. Quite a model she is too... though she didn't think she was.<br />
I love these shots, but I need new ones! So this is the deal. Email me your photos - shealynn AT gmail DOT com - we will pick THREE winners. This photo contest will start now and end a few days BEFORE I leave to go to New York for the BlogHer Conference. End date is Monday Aug. 2nd. So 2 weeks from tomorrow. <br />

I think you all need to write your own confessions too... no. I am not a priest. But this could be interesting. Got the idea on a blog I saw, forgive me for forgetting the name! <br />
<br />
Bring on the confessions!<br />
<br />
- I love to walking into a new tire store, because I think new tires smell amazing.<br />
<br />
- I am not a patient person. I yell at my computer often, and refrain from yelling a lot. Sometimes I think steam will come out of my ears. Scary thought!<br />
<br />
- I don't like my impatience one bit. <br />
<br />
- I used to get mad at my husband when he would refuse to take vacation due to getting behind on work. That is until I started my own business. Now I get it.<br />
<br />
- I still think we need vacations, but maybe just over weekends. ;)<br />
<br />
- My husband has the best smelling deodorant, and I tell him his armpits smell good every time we snuggle. :: blink blink :: Yes I am dead serious.<br />
<br />
- I think Twitter is great, but it can be like high school all over again. Drama, gossip, etc. I didn't like high school.<br />
<br />
- When my kids, parents or other sensitive ears aren't around I cuss like a sailor. <br />
<br />
- I like to cuss. *shrug* (enter an eye roll from my mom here. hehe)<br />
<br />
- I am assuming my mom would roll her eyes or shake her head at that. Mom? Am I right?<br />
<br />
- I do not like President Obama one bit.<br />
<br />
- I love hearing my husband talk about things he's passionate about. <br />
<br />
- I am a born again Christian, and love the Lord with all of my heart. But I don't go to church.<br />
<br />
- I hate overly judgmental people.<br />
<br />
- I am not a girly girl. I don't care for shopping, shoes, and makeup.<br />
<br />
- When reading books I often think the main male character is extremely good looking. What? Don't tell me I am alone here.<br />
<br />
- I love flip flops. I wear them 365 days a year.<br />
<br />
- I love my name. Thanks Mom!<br />
<br />
- I am a daddy's girl. And I think my dad is adorable. He's such a great dad!<br />
<br />
- I think my husband is the greatest dad on earth.<br />
<br />
- My husband looks sexy with tons of tattoos.<br />
<br />
- I am very opinionated, and love to debate things I am passionate about. Just ask my husband. :)<br />
<br />
- My favorite sound in the universe is my girls' giggles.<br />
<br />
- I love blog comments, and wish I had more time to leave a comment on all of your blogs!<br />
<br />
- My mom is hilarious! Love her!<br />
<br />
- I think this confessions post is getting a bit long!<br />
<br />
- I love friends I can be myself with. No holding back. Thanks for letting me - <a href="http://juliegarciamatus.blogspot.com/">Julie</a>, <a href="http://www.aboveallfabric.com/blog/">Melanie</a> and <a href="http://polkadotmoon.blogspot.com/">Denise</a>! Love you girls!!!<br />
<br />
- I dream about living in New York City all the time. Upper East Side, please. Oh, maybe one day. NYC is my heaven. Love the city!<br />
<br />
- I am an easy going person. <br />
<br />
- I am proud of my business and myself. No I am not being cocky.<br />
<br />
- I have some new products and camera strap covers to share with you. :)<br />
<br />
<br />
New in my shop right now....<br />

</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Great question! I would definitely love to spend another day with my husband's grandmother, Betty. She passed away in October of 2004. She was the most amazing seamstress ever. I would love to sit with her, and have her teach me everything she could - her tricks, secrets, everything. Well, as much as she could in a day. But I would also love some time just to sit with her. Hug her. See her smile, hear her laugh. I miss her terribly. She was an amazing person. She also made my wedding gown! It was gorgeous. I will show the pictures one of these days... need to scan them. :) Betty had a part in playing who I am today. She was an amazing amazing person.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">I was on a photo shoot on downtown Raleigh, NC. I was shooting head shots of a model. It was a really hot day - really humid. I was sweating like crazy, and it didn't take long for my camera strap to begin rubbing my neck incredibly raw. I remember it hurting bad enough to make me pull the collar of my shirt up and around my strap, but it never stayed up long enough to give relief. I knew there had to be a way to avoid it, and cover it. It hit me that I likely was not the only one having this problem. 2 years later, I am finding this to be true that "camera strap rash" is a common complaint. Anyway. We ended up moving from North Carolina to Arizona, and that's when I officially began *Shey*[B]! 2 years ago next month! :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">This is a really tough question! I really don't have just one. I don't even have just 2. I think I like about 10 fabrics obsessively. Those would be <a href="http://aboveallfabric.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=231_123_1_416&products_id=2569">Black and White Damask</a>. I go through this fabric faster than any other fabric. I don't always buy it by the yard either... mostly by the bolt. haha! I go through almost 2 bolts a month sometimes. I am recently loving <a href="http://aboveallfabric.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=231_120_132_454">Patty Young's Knits</a>! They are fantastic. Hoping to sew something with them soon. I about died when this fabric was released <a href="http://www.hawthornethreads.com/fabric/designer/etsuko_furuya/spring_2010/cameras_in_black">Cameras In Black</a>. I LOVE this entire line: <a href="http://www.hawthornethreads.com/fabric/designer/lourdes_sanchez/tt_botanica">Bontanica</a>. While I like her whole line called Glam Garden, I especially love <a href="http://www.hawthornethreads.com/fabric/designer/josephine_kimberling/glam_garden/wallpaper_in_spring">this one</a> and <a href="http://www.hawthornethreads.com/fabric/designer/josephine_kimberling/glam_garden/medium_floral_in_spring">this one</a>. I can't wait for <a href="http://www.hawthornethreads.com/fabric/designer/laurie_wisbrun/tufted_tweets">this fabric</a> line to come out! I just have to figure out what to do with it! :) I love <a href="http://www.hawthornethreads.com/fabric/designer/michael_miller_house_designer/ta_dot">ALL of these</a>. They are simple, but fun to work with. <a href="http://www.hawthornethreads.com/fabric/designer/joel_dewberry/deer_valley">Love this too</a>!!! And <a href="http://www.hawthornethreads.com/fabric/designer/joel_dewberry/modern_meadow">this</a> in the Pond Palette. :) I think I will stop there... I just love too much! ;) But those above are my all time fabric. <b>What about you? Have some favorite fabrics you'd care to share?</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">My husband proposed to me one night after we went bowling with some friends. It wasn't some crazy elaborate way to propose, but it was perfect in every way. Elaborate is embarrassing and so not my style. :) Obviously I said yes. Then he proposed again when we got my engagement ring. :) He's cute like that. Our wedding was very simple. It was small. 70 or so people. Not sure what "what kind" of wedding you had means. But our wedding was great. In fact, we were actually married at the court house on Nov. 16, 2001. Why? I was pregnant. Nuff said. haha! We had our actual ceremony a couple months later on Jan. 5, 2002. My husband and his groomsman wore zoot suits. Something to <a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.cyborlite.com/photos/gallery.pht.image/zuitsuit.png&imgrefurl=http://www.cyborlite.com/photos/photo.zootsuit.html&h=490&w=242&sz=77&tbnid=M4sbEt-XsiREKM:&tbnh=130&tbnw=64&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dzuit%2Bsuit&hl=en&usg=__1-zKDqAhNrbC8IwHzFijD_d3ip4=&sa=X&ei=_Bs6TOeGJ5W6tgOzpqiCBg&ved=0CB8Q9QEwAg">this</a> effect. I wore my handmade by Mike's grandma; wedding dress that was totally gorgeous. And my bridesmaids wore red strapless dresses. It was a great day!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">My question would be how did "Moona" get her name?

</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Actually. Our dog's name is Luna. But Zoe can't pronounce her L's very well, so she calls her "Moona". It just kind of stuck. :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I asked it on your FB, but I know you are super busy (being super woman and all ;) ) </span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;"><div style="text-align: center;">I see you are expanding your products and making different items now. Do you plan on designing some kind of SLR bag?? I know a lot more goes in to those bags (pading, interior design, etc). Just curious :) ( I am on the hunt and can't find a bag that goes well with my Shey B strap!!! LOL!)</div></span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Haha! I wish I was super woman! ;) The simple answer to this is yes! I absolutely plan to make camera bags. The complicated answer is - yes, but I don't know when. Time is not on my side right now. But I do have some things in the works, and maybe by Christmas, camera bags will be available. I am VERY picky about the design, and look of the camera bags that will come out. I will not be making the entire thing out of designer fabric. I don't like those - they get dirty so fast, and washing them can really make them lose their shape. But, stay tuned! <b>What do you look for in a camera bag?</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Favorite place... hmmm. Well, I have a few. </div><div style="text-align: center;">There is a restaurant in Old Town Scottsdale called "Frank & Lupes". They have the best mexican around. I love that place!</div><div style="text-align: center;">I also really like Blue Wasabi and Kabuki for sushi. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I eat at Paradise Bakery A Lot! Love their Asian Chicken Salad, Chicken Salad Sandwich and their Snickerdoodles. :) We also like Wildflower Bread Co.</div><div style="text-align: center;">My husband eats out a lot more than I do, and Chandler seems to have a lot of really great hole in the wall/smaller restaurants. Both those above are a few I favor. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I have a few...</div><div style="text-align: center;">Right now. My favorite book that I have read so far this year (I have read 34 this year so far) is called The Iron King. It was absolutely fantastic! The 2nd book comes out next month! SO excited! Other books I love? The Hunger Games series, City of Bones series, 13 to Life, Raised by Wolves, Girl In The Arena, Vampire Academy series, Hush Hush, Shiver & Linger, The Forest of Hands and Teeth series. I am going to stop there. I have really enjoyed a lot of books. If you want to see what I have read my Goodreads shelf is on my sidebar. I have 2. One of them is books I have read and recommend and one of them is books I want to read. :) <b>What books are you enjoying right now?</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I don't know if this counts. But I love donuts. And I feel guilty after eating them. But they bring me great pleasure. And they make me smile. But they add to my waistline. And they taste so good. But they are so bad for me. But I don't care. Does that count? <b>How about you? Have a guilty pleasure?

OK, let's see. </span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Zoe: "I want to watch TB" (instead of TV), She shouts "YESSSSS!" and does a fist pump when she hears something she finds exciting, Prettycorn (Zoe's word for Unicorn). But I think one of the funniest things was Zoe singing along to "Empire State of Mind" by Jay-Z. She was in the back seat singing "New yooooooorrrkkk!! deez stweets make ooo fewl bwand new. New yoooooooooorkk!! Yeah" - all while bobbing her head to the beat. HILARIOUS! She has also said "What up!" to a friend of mine before too. hehe.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Angelina: When she was a baby, she called Chinese - Chiiinnneeeeeessseee - no joke. Peanut butter was peanut butta. Mostly Angelina said hilarious stuff when she was a toddler. She gets pretty serious nowadays. One thing I do remember was when she was in infant, she loved a song by The Red Hot Chili Peppers. Every time it came on she would raise her eyebrows so high they were almost to her hairline, and she would smile the biggest smile ever. She was only 4 months old! haha.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I feel like I have grown here as a person. I started my business here, my kids are making memories here as we are making memories together. But, the heat is enough to make me want to pack up our stuff and get out of here, and fast. But that is not realistic. Is it??? :) Seriously. I don't think I could hate this heat anymore. I despise it. I loathe it. Think of the worst word you can and that's what I think of the heat here. Insanely Hot for 6-7 months of the year. Gross. Seriously. Turn on your oven, stick your face in there once it's heated up. And, welcome to Arizona summer! That's how it feels.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">We moved here for my husband's job... well, he no longer works there, but works somewhere better. But it was ultimately my decision to make whether we moved here from NC or not. And I guess you know what choice I made. Do I have regrets? Not really. As much as I hate the heat here, NC just wasn't for us. And AZ just isn't for ME. Everyone else seems fine with this hades type heat but me. Moving on before I really get to ranting! LOL! <b>Have you ever been to Arizona? In the summer?</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
My husband is reading a book that I might not have found so interesting 2 years ago, but I found VERY interesting 2 days ago, and very sad at the same time. Not sad in a "makes me wanna cry" kind of way; sad in a "I can't believe these facts are true about people" kind of way. I have continued to mull over what he was telling me about this book, and decided that I will be making some changes.<br />
<br />
The book is called "The Shallows: What The Internet Is Doing To Our Brains" by Nicholas Carr. The basis of this book is this... "an explosive look at technology's effect on the mind". Remember, I haven't read this book, but had quite a detailed conversation with Mike about it. Let's start with some facts... or the sad part as I might call it. <br />
<br />
Fact: The average person reads <b>49 minutes</b> <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">A WEEK! </span></span></b><br />
I was shocked by this. That is 7 minutes a day. Really? That's it?<br />
As you all know, I am not average. LOL! I read at least 25 hours a week. <br />
Do you read? And if so how much? Blogs do not count. ;)<br />
Carr also pointed out that we should be reading things that make out minds think. <br />
<br />
Fact: The average person watches <b>35 HOURS</b> of TV <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">A WEEK!!</span></span></b><br />
Wow! The first thing I said to Mike when he told me that was "are you serious?! That's practically a full time job!" I just can not fathom sitting in front of the television for that span of time. <br />
I am also not average here. I watch maybe 5 hours of TV a week.<br />
How much TV do you watch? Movies are included in this, so include those.<br />
<br />
Fact: The average person is on the internet <b>19 HOURS</b> <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">A WEEK!</span></span></b> This may not seem like a lot, but those 19 hours are NOT including work hours. Just browsing and goofing off on the internet.<br />
I have lessened my internet usage considerably in the last 2 weeks, so as of this moment, I am on the internet (not including ANY work stuff) maybe 4 hours a week. How about you?<br />
<br />
I don't know about you, but those stats really got me disheartened. I mean... what is so necessary that people need or want to spend that much time in front of the TV and that much time on the internet? <br />
<br />
Now, let me be honest here. I cringe when I hear someone say, "I hate reading. It's so boring." Why? Because I used to be that person. Yes, me! I used to "hate" reading. That is until I picked up a REALLY good book that I couldn't put down. And I found the genre I enjoy. Boom, done! I am a reader, and find myself wanting to read instead of watching TV or being on the internet. Now, I am the person that says "I LOVE READING! There are SO many great books out there, and I can't wait to read them all!" Now, if you don't like reading, I will still like you, of course! ;) I'm just saying maybe give reading another shot! <br />
<br />
Carr also attributes people's excuses of having ADD to the internet as well. He also states that the internet is like a drug and so many feel the need to get their "fix". <br />
<br />
I get this. 100% understood this when Mike was telling me about it. I used to be addicted to Twitter. Needed to know what was going on ALL the time. Now... I find myself not really caring as much. Yes, I still like Twitter and all my Twitter friends, but to be honest, Twitter is a mind suck and a time suck! Before you know it, 2 hours have gone by, and nothing has gotten done, and your brain hasn't gotten any form of workout. The same goes for email. Feel like you constantly have to check your email? Or every time your iPhone beeps letting you know you have a new email do you feel that need to have to check it? *insert the word <b>addicted</b> here in a sing song voice*<br />
<br />
I feel like there is so much always going on on the internet, so it can make me feel less focused. Hence the ADD remark in Carr's book. So so true for me. I hear many people say they can't focus or they have ADD, but I bet when it came down to it, it could be all that internet time. The Facebook, Twitter, Blogging, Emails, etc, etc so on and so forth. And! I bet most of you will end up skimming this post, because it's so long... am I right? That was another thing Mike was telling me about that book. So many skim or bounce all over the place, because they can't seem to focus.<br />
<br />
Here is a great excerpt from Chapter 8 of Carr's book:<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: none; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The development of a well-rounded mind requires both an ability to find and quickly parse a wide range of information and a capacity for open-ended reflection. There needs to be time for efficient data collection and time for inefficient contemplation, time to operate the machine and time to sit idly in the garden. We need to work in Google’s “world of numbers,” but we also need to be able to retreat to Sleepy Hollow. The problem today is that we’re losing our ability to strike a balance between those two very different states of mind. Mentally, we’re in perpetual locomotion. . . ."</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: none; line-height: 18px;">So... do you get it? What is the internet doing to your brain?</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: none; line-height: 18px;">I will write a follow up post about what I am doing to "change my brain". Because Carr quotes studies and talks about rewiring the brain, and changing how we do things. This conversation with my husband about this book has definitely shown me how I want to change my habits. Is the internet a bad thing? I definitely don't think so, but I think it's like everything else in life ... balance.</span></span><br />

This weeks Night Owls Tweet theme is iPhone pictures! :) I got the new iPhone 4 and man what a difference that camera is compared to the iPhone 3G. Took some pretty good shots with it. So, here is a little of my life outside of the walls of my house. :)<br />

<br />

<br />
I also wanted to state for the record that today was the most productive day in *Shey*[B] history! I completed and sent <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">FOURTY ONE</span></b></span> camera strap slipcovers - in ONE day! Whew!<br />
<br />
Also. There are several camera strap slipcovers that will no longer be available after Friday. Which ones will they be? Sadly these: Vibrant Paisley, Ruffled Wicker, Brown Zebra, The India, Snip Snip, The Burlap, The Tuxedo, The Plaid, All the Suedes, All the Bros, Henna, The New York, Aqua Dot, Diamond Dot, and Laughing Leaves. <br />
<br />
Making room for more new items!! :) So, get em while you can, because before long they will be gone! <br />
<br />
I also found more <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;"><b>FRENCH GIRLIE</b></span></span> fabric!!!! I have enough to make FOUR camera strap slipcovers. They are listed <a href="http://sheyb.bigcartel.com/product/french-girlie-only-4-available">here</a>. I don't have any scraps, so lens cap pockets can not be added, but padding can! Hurry hurry and <a href="http://sheyb.bigcartel.com/product/french-girlie-only-4-available">click here</a>. :)<br />
<br />
I am also going to do another Q & A pretty soon. Whatcha think? :)<br />

Almost a week. Geez!! When you're busy I guess it really shows.<br />
<br />
There really isn't much going on here other than my girls in camp and school and me sewing mass amounts of orders, spending time with my family, and reading. See. Like I said. Nothing new. :) haha! I love my life. As per usual in the summers and beyond here in Arizona it is unbearably hot. Today it will be 115 degrees and there is a heat advisory in place until 8pm tonight. Meaning - do not spend excessive time outside unless you want to get heat poisoning or exhaustion. And by excessive time outside I mean more than 15 minutes. ;)<br />
<br />
Anyhoo. I have a few book recommendations for you all. I have read almost 20 books this year so far. Most in the last month. Here are some that I loved immensely.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6449916-girl-in-the-arena">The Girl in the Arena</a> - Fantastic!!! I gave it 5 out of 5 stars. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7124101-the-fallen-1">The Fallen #1</a> by Thomas E. Sniegoski - Very good. There's a talking dog in it too. :) I gave it 4 out of 5 stars.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6644117-the-iron-king">The Iron King</a> (Iron Fey #1) by Julie Kagawa- One of the best books I have ever read. I absolutely LOVED this book!! 5 out of 5 stars for sure. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8070049-winter-s-passage">Winter's Passage</a> (Iron Fey #1.5) by Julie Kagawa - A great novella to hold us until the next books comes out in 1 month. :) This one you can ONLY get on the Kindle. But. If you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you can get the FREE Kindle App and then you can read it. Winter's Passage is free. 5 out of 5 stars<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6555517-the-dead-tossed-waves">The Dead Tossed Waves</a> by Carrie Ryan (Forest of Hands & Teeth #2) - Loved it!! Can not wait for the next one! 5 out of 5 stars<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6261522-the-body-finder">The Body Finder</a> by Kimberly Derting - This book caught me by surprise. I found it very good... especially if you stayed up til 5:15am in the morning because you just could not put it down. I'm crazy. I already know that. ;) 4 out of 5 stars<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7230309-13-to-life">13 to Life</a> by Shannon Delany - I just finished this one today after starting it last night. It was awesome. 5 out of 5 stars<br />
<br />
Speaking of reading. Since I was told about the free Kindle App, I have decided that I will be reading books on my iPad from now on. Just so much easier. My husband has been trying to get me to switch to an e-reader for some time now, and I am just stubborn. But finally I have changed my mind. The sheer amount of books I read and buy are filling up my office VERY quickly. I will likely be donating to my husband's office's library for other's to enjoy. :) I only keep the books I figure that I would like to read again. Now, I can bring a million books with me without actually bringing a million books with me. All stored in my iPad. So easy!<br />
<br />
Lastly... how about a super awesome discount for my amazing blog readers? :) Twitter got the discount yesterday, and you all get it today! However... since you are all so amazing I am going to end it later than I did for Twitter. <br />
<br />

How is everyone? Have anything outrageous planned for this 4th of July weekend? <br />
We don't. I think relaxing is in major order! <br />
Have a great one!!<br />

Happy Saturday to you. I have some winners to announce, but I have a prayer request. When I got this message from my friend I got teary eyed. I am sure you all know who Erin of The Vintage Pearl is. :) She is such an amazing person. Though I have never met her in person, I have been friends with her for almost 2 years. She has help me a lot with my business, and as you know, her business is just booming. I am so proud of her. She has accomplished a lot. <br />
Anyway. I got a message from her this morning that her mom unexpectedly passed away yesterday morning. I am so sad. Losing a parent would be so hard. I have cried for her, prayed for her, and sent messages to her letting her know she is in my thoughts and prayers. Would you all mind going to her blog and leaving some love for her too? Click <a href="http://thevintagepearl.blogspot.com/2010/06/my-mom.html">here</a>. Let's show her lots of thoughts and love and lift her and her family (especially her dad) in prayers. Thanks everyone! Life is precious.<br />
<br />

Hurray ladies!! Email me your addresses! :)<br />

OK. So regarding the t-shirts. We are going to have them professionally printed. So stay tuned for that! :) And the angel wing shirts... LOTS liked those.... haha! The wings were printed on the back of my girls' shirts. Someone had asked that. IF you're interested in a wing shirt, let me know. Depending on the amount of requests I might just list them in my store. We will see, though. There are a ton of other designs I want to try out too. :)<br />
<br />
I also listed some more new stuff! WOW! ;) Check it...<br />
<br />
This Couture sold, but wanted to show you all anyway. It was Twilight inspired. haha. Figured it was fitting since Eclipse comes out WEDNESDAY!! Yep. I am meeting some friends on Tuesday night for dinner and a seat at the midnight premiere! :)<br />

Stopping in at midnight after a VERY long day. I might have stood in line for far too long to acquire a iPhone 4. :) But, enough about that... I want to show you a couple of <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">new products</span></b>. I hope you'll be as excited about them as I am. Cuz, they turned out fantastic. <br />
<br />
Who has a point and shoot camera? Well... how about a cute clutch to carry your point and shoot in? You got it!!<br />

I couldn't find my point and shoot camera, so it's not pictured with the clutch, but if you want one of these cuties for a PSP or a DS - well, those fit too... see Angelina's PSP below. :)<br />

I love this clutch. It velcro's closed. Super easy to just keep your camera in and when you need it it's there. Of course, custom orders are welcome, so contact me for a custom fabric order.<br />
<br />
Custom orders are also welcome for the next new product too. Now, since the iPhone 4 is so new, there are no cases for it. Until now that is. Welcome the new Cell Phone Clutch! How cute is this?! But wait! You do not have to have an iPhone to purchase! Any cell phone fits. :)<br />

This was supposed to be posted on Monday. I am a total slacker! ooopsie. :) I have been really busy, and part of that busyness is enjoying my little girls being home. They returned last Friday.<br />
<br />
I have decided that for me it's easier to keep with a theme for my Night Owls Tweet posts. So this week the theme is tid bits of my office. How crazy is it that this is already week 6 of doing this? nuts!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">When I do decorate my office, it will be partly a New York theme. :) I will be going to New York at the beginning of August for a blog conference, and while I am there I plan on taking a lot of pictures to have printed/blown up for my office and my house. I LOVE New York! Oh and that picture is resting on my iPhone doc. I play my music through my iPhone to the speakers. And it charges my phone the whole time. I love it. That New York word art is from Red Letter Words. Their shop is one of my favorites and is listed over there <----------------</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<b>How is everyone? </b><br />

I will be ending the giveaway for the Couture and the shirts tomorrow... so better hurry up. IN the meantime I will be posting another giveaway here no later than tomorrow. I am so so excited the owner of this company (who is also an AMAZING photographer) has offered to do a giveaway here. Your mouths are going to drop. Trust me. ;)<br />
<br />
Ta ta for now. xo<br />

You guys mean the world to me. Breakfast was terrific, the bike ride was fun, the movie was funny and the massage was wonderful.<br />
<br />
Being a "Daddy" is the single best experience in the world. There is nothing like the feeling you get when you walk in the door and your kids coming running to meet you before your second foot even makes it across the threshold. Watching the girls grow up and become little ladies is both rewarding and terrifying at the same time. Every new experience they share with me makes so proud of them. Hearing the excitement in their voices as they discover new things and the awe in the expressions as they unlock the mysteries of the world around them is what makes every day worth it.<br />
<br />
With that comes the fear and questioning of "am I doing the right thing?", "am I teaching them the right lessons?" and "am I being a good father?". I suppose all of these are common questions we all ask ourselves and it is days like today that put those fears aside. Not that it is Father's Day, but more that today was no different than any other day (except maybe the fact I didn't have to make waffles for breakfast).<br />
<br />
My children thought they were treating me "extra" special all weekend. But what they don't realize is that this is how they treat me everyday. This is how they make me feel every morning when I wake up. Begging me to go for a bike ride, play with their dolls, go swimming and just spend every second with them let's me know they love me. And, of course, I oblige, even if being the Prince means I am going to get eaten by a shark (yes that happened in the fairy tale today).<br />
<br />
So thank you girls for not doing anything different today, but rather making me feel special and loved every other day of the year.<br />
<br />
I love you,<br />
<br />
Daddy<br />

Got a little burnt out after my birthday giveaway week. :)<br />
<br />
But, let's have one now, shall we? What's up for grabs? Hmmm... Three things, my friends. Three winners too.<br />
<br />
First up... a Couture!<br />
<br />

Next up. I have 2 shirts to giveaway! A size small and a size medium. These shirts run big, so they really aren't true to the size they say they are. <br />
<br />
Now. A few weeks ago I splurged and got a <a href="http://www.ohmycrafts.com/newyudupersonalscreenprinter.aspx">Yudu Machine</a>. It's a screen printing machine, and it's so much fun once you get the hang of it. :) I made my girls each shirts that have wings on the back...<br />
<br />

Anyway. I asked on Twitter if anyone would wear a *Shey*[B] shirt, and I got a ton of responses stating that YES! They would wear it. Photographers said they'd wear them on shoots, friends said they'd wear them whenever, etc etc. So, here we are. I made some *Shey*[B] shirts! Want one? <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDVpUDDnpz3rTDtsMHDwaWH4hGx9R-FnsEQkIlY-jMK_TIAzcgCYvJKHwzBeRmBcbyry2DYFcDi7JYMAViW-hfvfKArS-kOASo3f4RLb6e6jD2DjTNS7XKgIaRmb8IRJZDzYnjtFghuToU/s1600/IMG_0001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDVpUDDnpz3rTDtsMHDwaWH4hGx9R-FnsEQkIlY-jMK_TIAzcgCYvJKHwzBeRmBcbyry2DYFcDi7JYMAViW-hfvfKArS-kOASo3f4RLb6e6jD2DjTNS7XKgIaRmb8IRJZDzYnjtFghuToU/s640/IMG_0001.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
The green one shows the front and the turquoise one is showing the back. :) <br />
<br />
I am going to make this simple for you. All you have to do to win 1 of the 3 items is leave a comment. Let me know if I should sell *Shey*[B] shirts in my store too would ya? So 1 person will win the Couture and 2 people get a shirt. Their choice... turquoise or green. <br />
<br />
I will pick a winner sometime next week.<br />
<br />
Ready? <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Set? </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><b>GO! </b></span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>Good luck!!</b></span></span><br />
