Shop Update: Headbands Galore!

Here are the 2 most recent additions to my shop, listed yesterday and today. Hope you like them!

I've personally find these headbands to be very useful, especially after a recent and quite tragic bang-cutting accident. I also like them because they keep your ears nice and toasty on cold days :)























Have a happy Wednesday! =)

"WHY ME?" Money Horror Stories

With today's economy, many of us have money woes. Hopefully after reading these money horror stories, you'll feel a little better about what's in your pocket.


  Today, my 4 year old son thought it was funny to put money in the shredder. He stuck over 500 dollars in it.


Today, my roommate and me got charge $100 for having a cat in our apartment. I was only babysitting the cat so my neighbors wouldn't get caught and fined. We got caught because my roommate reported the people downstairs for having a dog so they reported that someone else in the building had a cat. 



Today, after five months of not working, I have a check waiting for me at the office. Too bad the office is in another city. My gas tank is empty, and I have no money to put gas in my car.


Today, I applied and was accepted for a part-time network engineering position. Being contract work they asked me what I charge. I replied, "$12 an hour." After a look of surprise they accepted me for the position and said, "Our last guy charged $200 an hour, you're a bargain.



Today, I had to file for bankruptcy because my ex-wife didn't want to pay for the house she didn't want me to have in the divorce, and didn't bother to have my name removed from the loan before she filed bankruptcy herself.


Today, I received notice that I had not been paying my bills and had an outstanding debt of $2074. Apparently, my 7 year old son has been taking my mail and playing "mailman" for the past 3 months.

Meet Blaze



Meow. Hello, my name is Blaze, and I'm Tyler Handmade's first guest blogger. Let me tell you a bit about myself.


I'm very interesting, if I do say so myself. I enjoy several hobbies such as


Bird Watching


Climbing

Exploring


Reading

Tree climbing


and board game playing.


I'm also in a complicated relationship with someone named Kitty. She's a fictional character, so that makes things a little complicated.

If you'd like to be my friend, you can send me a request on Facebook.

Meow.
