Tax Time Delays Shops Featured

Due to it being tax time and I am in the mist of working on my taxes. So the weekly Top 5 Shops will be delayed. I'm sorry to do this but my husband has been bugging me to get my business taxes in order for our filing. He so hates to wait to the last minute. So with this notice I hope you understand, as everyone needs to do those dreaded taxes too.



A little tax humor!

TAX POEM

Tax his land, tax his wage,
Tax his bed in which he lays.
Tax his tractor, tax his mule,
Teach him taxes is the rule.
Tax his cow, tax his goat,
Tax his pants, tax his coat.
Tax his ties, tax his shirts,
Tax his work, tax his dirt.
Tax his chew, tax his smoke,
Teach him taxes are no joke.
Tax his car, tax his ass
Tax the roads he must pass.
Tax his tobacco, tax his drink,
Tax him if he tries to think.
Tax his booze, tax his beers,
If he cries, tax his tears.
Tax his bills, tax his gas,
Tax his notes, tax his cash.
Tax him good and let him know
That after taxes, he has no dough.
If he hollers, tax him more,
Tax him until he's good and sore.
Tax his coffin, tax his grave,
Tax the sod in which he lays.
Put these words upon his tomb,
"Taxes drove me to my doom!"
And when he's gone, we won't relax,
We'll still be after the inheritance TAX!

Friday Blog Featured

Today's blog featured is Purple Lizzard Design by Emma!

Interview with Emma:

"I've been creative my entire life; for as long as I can remember, I've been watching my mother create amazing things, and I've always had something creative happening. The types of things I make has changed over time, but the act of creation has been something that has been important to me my entire life. As a teenager, it was beadwork and art. I took drawing classes at the university, despite generally being the least talented person in the class! Drawing is not my forte. I painted, embroidered, cross stitched, and eventually took up sewing, which is where I've found my creative home. I love fabric, I love cutting up fabric and then putting the pieces together to make something wonderful. And a few (more than a few) object failures along the way. But hey, those are learning experiences too!

On my blog you will find my latest craft projects and even some how to make some items. I'm a part time SAHM to two beautiful daughters, and they are my inspiration. Almost everything I make starts as something for them, and then once I perfect it, becomes something I add to my store. The joy on a child's face when they see something beautiful made just for them is such a thrill."
