My Last (?) Jar Post, for Now. (?)

Yeah baby. #barrywhitevoice         I just can't get enough of liquid in jars. Whatever that says about me. Today, however, we're introducing a new liquid, readily available from yon locale dollare shoppe. Baby oil.         It even smells like real babies! Well, I mean, the not-smelly side of them. The powdery side. Of course, once you've sealed it away forever in its Mason jar vault, you won't be able...

Glitter Jars, Part Deux: Son of Glitter Jars

Damn you, Michael's! That's right. We graduated. Because mason jars just weren't cool enough yet, I found these fake lightbulb bottles with flat bottoms at Michael's. 40% off sale? Yeah. Yeah, we'll go for that. Those huge packages of glitter with every color in the rainbow (in several different shades, I might add) are $5, and you can use your 40% off coupon on them, hint hint. The bottle of glue was about $4, which was more than I wanted...

Calming Glitter Jars for Cool People

Glitter jars. Glitter. Glue. Jar. It gets no easier than this. Seriously, it's harder to make a picture frame with macaroni glued to it. And with those 3 ingredients, you can make a super-relaxing bottle of shake-up chill-out tonic. Don't drink it though. There's glue in it. Everyone's got a mason jar in their house somewhere. Yes, you do too. I'll wait. It's cool. Probably in the back of that closet... with the half-burned candles?...

Etsy vs. ArtFire

Hi folks! So here's a good topic that I've had a bit of experience with in the past three months or so. I've sold a few items online in the past, but usually, I do it through Facebook or word of mouth. My first online storefront languished; it was hosted on Etsy before the redesign, and I was very unimpressed with the layout. In fairness, I never ended up listing an item. Around that time, I was pretty busy with helping my husband emigrate from Canada, so not only did I have much free time, but I felt as though I had a lot less to offer back in...

Hi!

Welcome to Raised by Sitcoms :) My name is Erica, though I go by Cat (for reasons which I am sure will be divulged in later posts). This blog was really inspired by my interest in learning how to work Blogger itself. When I was younger, I was a prolific journal keeper, but it seems like over the past decade or so, my resolve has faltered for reasons unknown. Even in making this blog, I created about 3 others, made a first post, and deleted them. I agonized for days over the name, since I had a bunch of great ideas that were all taken. So much...
