New Items

I'm finally listing some new items!

I got super inspired by my growing collection of fabulous semi-precious and vintage glass beads and decided to make some earrings. You see, I recently moved a bunch of beads into little fluted tart molds and they look so darn cute, I couldn't help but be inspired.

I've been corralling sweet supplies for awhile now and just haven't had the time to photo and list them all. I'm working on it!! They are all being listed today (and tomorrow unfortunately, my computer isn't as motivated as I am to get them listed). So....

Keep checking back to see what's new!!

Have a lovely week.

New Forum

Come visit this new creative forum!

I was recently asked to be a designer on this wonderful new creative forum. It's called "More Paper than Shoes". There are lots of designers making fabulous little projects all the time, come over and visit when you get a chance. Here is my project for today.

Have a lovely weekend,

I found my camera charger!! Yay!!

So, here's a peek at what I made for my very first press kit.

It's for an "ocean" themed event. I must say I was quite nervous putting my little kits together. Does anyone else get nervous when they are sending their creations out into the world? Maybe it's just me. I made these tiny flowers with pearls for the kits too.

These were fun so, I made extras for my shop.

I will show you pictures of the "Petite Inspiration Boxes" that I received soon.

Have a wonderful day

I'm addicted

I have an addiction.

It's a newly acquired addiction.

I don't think it's all that healthy(i guess most addictions aren't)

I have been making millions of these little sweeties.

Seriously, I even dream that I'm making them when I'm asleep

I should be doing other things like: undecorating my really dead Christmas tree, or laundry, or 2,000 other things around the house.

Instead, I'm making these. But, they are sooooo cute, and I keep coming up with different combinations and color ideas........ well, you get it!

I did find time to make this adorable Valentines craft kit. Now, I've got to stop. The kiddos are driving each other crazy and need some mommy time.

But.....

I've got of sweetheart locket necklace ideas and vintage cameo pendant ideas...Maybe I can just do a little work when the kids go to sleep tonight. That wouldn't be too bad right???

I'll be back to show you what else I can sneak in.

I didn't even get pictures of my wonderful little trick or treaters. I am so sad.

A Fabulous Swap Opportunity

Harley at KoalaFuzz is hosting a 13 Days of Halloween Swap

She has rounded up some sponsors to donate prizes for her swap.

How exciting!! So, if you sign up for her swap, you not only get to have a fabulous partner and lots of goodies swapped. But, you also get the chance to win a fabulous prize from one of her sponsors.

Well, she found me on etsy and asked if I would be willing to donate. Of course, I said "Yes!".

Here is the little item that she asked if I would donate.

So, if you like what you see (heck, even if you don't), hop on over and sign up and check out the prizes from the other sponsors. I think some of them are offering discounts in their stores to participants. I know I am.

Yeah for Summer Fun!!

Yeah for Summer!!

It's finally here! Well, not technically but, we're out of school, so it's summer for us.

First stop: Target

Look at all the great stuff we got in the dollar section. Buckets, bubbles, pails, sand tools, squirt guns, pool toys, beach balls and can't forget candy.

We're almost ready. Now we've got to get our summer bag packed and loaded in the car. The little league equipment just came out. Time to load a washable sturdy bag with water bombs, beach tools, goggles, snacks, etc. Everything for a quick trip to the pool or beach.

One problem: The weather! Ugh!

Everyone keeps telling me it's just June Gloom. No. It's too cold.

So, my poor kids, we can't go to the beach or the pool, and the free movies haven't even started yet. We are having a little bit of a slow start to our summer fun. That's o.k, though, we are always so buys it's kinda nice to slow down.

Oh yeah, here's a little something I've been working on. They are so much fun once you get the hang of it. I am totally addicted. I've made so many I've just about run out of crepe paper. Obviously I need to get better lighting at my work station but, I think you can see how adorable they are.

Have a super summer.
