For My Princess

Well my lack of blogging has a very legitimate excuse. My hubby's family was in town last week and although it was a really great week, it kept me completely out of my craftroom and out of touch with blogland. Totally OK with me, but I have a lot of catching up to do.

I did just a little crafting before everyone came into town and hopefully I can finish up those projects and share in the next few days.

However, I had one free night last week and decided to try my hand at a tutu for Taylor...

What do you think??







I can't wait to see her in it at dance class next week!! She might be more excited than me.

And the winner is...

Lucky number 4...DeeDee!! Congrats my dear...Pick out any listing from my etsy shop and send me a message on my etsy shop or leave me a comment here.

Now, let me just tell you all (anyone that may be reading) because I only had seven comments I did not use random number generator. I went the old fashioned route and put seven numbers in a hat and my hubby drew the number. I had to just laugh at myself for the number of comments I got.

Oh well....

I guess the fewer comments, the better chance anyone who did comment had to win.

On a completely other note I have something wonderful to share with you all. My mom is holding an ebay auction for 100+ handmade greeting cards, all proceeds benefitting Susan G Komen. Of course you probably think I am bias, but this is an AMAZING auction. All cards are handmade and one-of-a-kind. You simply must check it out. You wouldn't need to purchase another Hallmark card for a few years.

Think Pink...

It is rare any more that you find someone who has not been touched by cancer in some way or another. Hopefully one day research and awareness will change that. In the meantime though I thought I would put together a post that is devoted to...


Thinking PINK!!


When I am not perusing blogs you will most likely find me perusing ETSY. I absolutely love all of the creativity that is out there and I am inspired on a daily basis.

I have decided to feature some of the wonderful items I have found that are 100% THINK PINK!! Along with a picture I have included the link back to the sellers etsy site. I hope you enjoy and maybe find something you can't live without!!

I am in love with this bookmark by Alison Kelley Designs






This Coffee Cozy by Sewing Granny would be perfect around my Starbucks everyday!!





This Hope necklace by Giggles and Grins would look great with a little pink-T, DON'T YOU THINK??





How about this Key Fob Wristlet by FOBulous? I wear my work keys around my neck, but I might have to make a change.





Go Green?? How about going PINK... with this set of 3 Reusable Bags by Mels Sells



Even if you don't purchase one of these wonderfully pink items...be sure to wear your pink all month long!!

Oh and don't forget to enter my very first giveaway on yesterdays post.

I am still here...and my first giveaway!!

I have just been a little busy lately. OK no excuses...

What's been going on??

Well, I have been completely consumed by hair clips over the last few weeks. I have done some thrift store shopping with my mom at least once a week, but other than that I have dedicated most of my free time to hair clips.

I was contacted by a lady in Prescott, AZ about selling my hair clips in her shop and my mom and I sold at a boutique sale last weekend. She sold aprons and I sold hair clips. I am pleased with how the boutique sale went considering I was not the only one selling hair clips.

The temps in AZ have still been hovering around 100 which has put all projects on hold. I am hopeful that they will start to drop and I can get working. My hubby needs to start seeing some completed projects or his irritation level with my buying great thrift store finds will start to climb.

Thought I would share my newest hair clips and offer my first giveaway....













Just leave me a comment...

Simple as that.

Just say hello, tell me which hair clip you like or what you have been up too!! The winner will win any hair clip listed in my Etsy shop. And don't worry I will be adding all of the clips listed in this post, plus a whole lot more in the next day. Become a follower for an extra chance to win.

I will draw the winner next Monday night!!
