Mardi Gras wooohooooo it's coming February 24th




Okay, well seeing as I use to be a preschool teacher, I have a big thing for holidays. I love to create a million different little projects all based on the same theme!!! In keeping with this I thought I would start doing some of my blogs theme related. Some of my latest items are fabric covered Mardi Gras bottle openers. I went on Etsy and found several other items handmade from the same fabric. Here are all the goodies I found.




1. http://www.jinxyheadbands.etsy.com/ has this great headband for $7:




2. http://www.crazyrebecca.etsy.com/ has a crazy quilt kit for $27.50




3. http://www.hugsandholidays.etsy.com/ has a nice tote bag for $5




4. my most unusual find is this shopping cart cover by http://www.michaelmooodesigns.etsy.com/






then of course there are my bottle openers at $3.50 each :

12/07/08 YESSSS More Holiday Shopping!!!

This time of year is absolutely insane for me. With 2 children born in December and Christmas on it's way, the shopping is out of control. So, I am adding to my list of wonderful items that I have purchased from Etsy. These are in no particular order.

1. I had http://www.monkeythreads.etsy.com/ design some cute little snowmen for me, take a look she has them in her shop now. She makes wall/window vinyl decals. I also bought her snowflakes. They all look awesome on my windows. Monkey is a great person and part of my very fun BNR group: http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5912408&page=1
2. http://www.pamperedponytails.etsy.com/ beyond being part of my BNR group she is also a really nice person!!! One of my favorites, like good ol monkey. I bought some of her christmas matchbook, notepads. they are too cute.

4. Kristy joined us for a bit from http://www.kristyredbarnbakery.etsy.com/ and I drooled for days over her cowboy cookies, then I did it, I bought them. These were suppose to be birthday treats, but we scarfed them down in no time. SSSSOOOOOO DDEELLIICIIOUUSSSSS

10/16/08 Gearing Up for Christmas


Well, I did it! I finally made and then photographed and listed my first Christmas ornament.

If you have been following my blog you will know that my pocket mirror parts supplier is a crackhead and therefore has shipped me an abundance of mirror parts for no reason. Sooo, I had to get crackin' at hustling them out my door. I put them all on a super sale and now I have created a new product with them. I have added an organza ribbon loop to hang the pocket mirror with. TAH-DAH an ornament!!!! It has wonderful light reflection on one side (the mirror) and a nice Christmas or winter themed picture on the other side. And of course you can still just use it as a mirror!


If you see anything in my shop that you would like made into an ornament please let me know. I will gladly make it for you!
