Labor Day Weekend

After a jam-packed weekend, I have lots to share. First, I give you-Taste of Colorado.

Every Labor Day, people gather in downtown Denver to buy tickets and purchase overpriced food-and it's totally worth it. It's such a fun day. The boy and I went on Saturday and met a friend there. Tickets were $5 for 8, so we purchase $25 worth (40 tickets). We proceeded to walk around and calculate what we could get for our alotted tickets (we didn't want any of them to go to waste).

We ended up buying beef brisket sandwiches from a barbeque place-pretty good, not awesome. Then we had to decide what else we wanted-I got an ice cream cone-the boy got Sausage on a Stick. Fun for hours, folks-lots of laughs. I would post some of those pictures, but I don't think I want the boy to be posted on the internets like that-it might give you the wrong impression.

We spent the remainder of the time walking around and enjoying the sites (the first picture is one booth-they were playing "grill hero" or "grill band," I can't remember-check out those giant spatulas!) and trying to figure out how to take pictures in the dark. It was a ton of fun.

How was your Labor day weekend?

Why is my name Butter? Cuz I'm on a roll...

I'm doing good. I'm staying on track, producing lots of items for Etsy, and keeping the apartment at some level of clean. A few days ago I made a beautiful batch of blue handmade paper and couldn't wait to start creating EcoBooks with it last night.

It seems that when I feel on track, I have good momentum for a few days, then I crash..so I'm trying to keep going by preparing for that "crash" moment.
What do you do to stay on track? Tips are always welcome.

On another note, I may have a new home. Yep, rachelmay designs will be moving. Currently, the boy and I live in a decent one-bedroom apartment in Denver. It's not downtown, or close to school, or near work for me---so it isn't all that convenient. My job however, has perks-and one is that I'm really close to a property management company. They are going to rent me a HOUSE! for a steal, and I'm taking it. It's four blocks from work, close to the light rail to get downtown/to school, etc....so all is looking good. Keep your fingers crossed that this goes through...I'm ready for a change of scenery:)

On another note-hasn't this just been a fabulous summer?! I sure think so!
