Sneak Peek at Halloween Treats

I've been busy in my workshop.

This is just a sneak peek!!

I'll be showing more pictures and listing bunches of items in my shops tomorrow.

My First Giveaway!!

My First Giveaway!!!

I'm a little nervous! Is that normal?

Anyway, here I go.

To celebrate the fact that school is almost out, that I'm finally going to have time to focus on reading all of the lovely and inspiring blogs that I follow, not to mention getting a chance to create some new goodies, I'm going to have my very first giveaway. I know I've been neglecting blogland and I do so hate to do that. Really!! Blogland is sometimes the only thing that keeps me sane. O.k, O.k, I'll get to the info then I'll ramble.

Here's what you do:

1. leave a comment on this post by Friday June 4th Midnight Pacific Time telling me which pair of earrings in my etsy store that you like best. (That will give you one entry)

2. Mention my giveaway on your blog with a link then leave me another message on this post to let me know. (That will give you your second entry. Yeah!! Two chances.)

Oh, what am I giving away you wonder!! Well, I am going to give away any pair of earrings from my etsy shop. Any pair that is currently for sale when this giveaway ends. If your favorite pair sold I might be able to make another one just like it. If a lot of people enter, I might giveaway 2 pairs. Yeah!!

Alright, that's it for the giveaway info. I hope lots of people enter.

Life has been total chaos around here. Ugh!! You know what I mean! We've had:

• Drill team tryouts.
• Drill team uniform fittins (Yeah! Emma made it)
• Elementary school performances (yes, I said performances as in plural)
• Elementary school award ceremonies (once again plural)
• Little League tournament game
• Little League closing ceremonies
• Little League team parties
• Junior High Award Ceremonies
• 3 field trips
• 2 End of year parties

not to mention the usual stuff: dance, tumbling, piano, and cheer. Thanks goodness no more homework!!

But, this Saturday I'm going to do something I've never done before. I'm going to go to Palm Springs with a fabulous bunch of ladies. Just us ladies. Relaxing, Swimming, Eating, Shopping. If you can believe it, in the 18 years I've been married I went away once to a convention for two days. That's it. Well, unless you count the times I stayed in the hospital having babies. My husband used to be a wee bit controlling. He's getting better. He actually told me to have a fantastic time that I "deserve it" Isn't that sweet.

Well, thanks for letting me vent. I've missed you all. I hope you like the giveaway.

Good Luck!!

Happy Spring!!

(well almost)These are some tags I made for a Spring/Easter mini tag book swap. They were so much fun to make. I am so glad I was able to participate in this swap and I will post pictures of the tags I recieve when I get them. (Can't wait!!!)

The lovely Elyse wanted to know if I could make some earrings in blue. I wasn't sure which color she preferred so I made several. They are all available at my Etsy store. Don't worry I have enough to make another pair when Elyse picks the ones she wants.
This adorable little Vintage straw chick (made in Italy) will be available in my etsy store soon.
So will this vintage pink chick. He's carrying flowers. How sweet!!
These eggs will also be available at some point today. They are made with German paper mache eggs, dresden trim, paper/velvet millinery flowers, and lots of glitter. They open up and are perfect for small gifts. I put a small base on the bottom so that they wouldn't fall over.

Oh, and look at the adorable goodies I got from Elyse. She is so sweet and creative. I absolutely love her stuff.

Little league is in full swing and boy are we busy. My husband is manager of two teams, one of them is "single A" and one is "double A". He absolutely loves it but boy does it make us busy. This week alone we have practice on Monday, Game on Wednesday, Game on Friday, and 2 games on Saturday. Thankfully our season is only 3 months long. In the meantime I'm going to have to find a better balance between baseball and creating. My creative time has been eglected.

I got something adorable at Target two days ago and can't wait to take pictures and show you.

Talk to you soon,
