Happy Valentines Day !!!

Hope everyone is having a SWEET Valentines Day.  My True Love took me to one of my favorite restaurants yesterday for lunch.  We decided it might be to crowded if we went today.  It was crowded yesterday !!!  LOL  We still enjoyed our outing and our time together.

Here are a few additions to my Etsy Shop.  I was in a Birthday Card mood and just kept on and on making them.  The first card has Paper Roses that I made.  I had seen several tutorial on making them and thought I would give it a try.  It was not hard at all, and I like the way they turned out.  I also put one of my handmade stick pins in the rose bouquet.





Talk to you again soon.

Recent Additions and Trying My Hands at a New Craft

I have been using stick pins for a while as an embellishment to my decorative cards, so I thought I would try my hands at making some custom beaded ones.  You can find them in my Etsy shop along with some more recent additions to my greeting card collection.

BABY Paper Pretties and Happy Valentines Day

Hello !!!  Just dropped by to post a couple of pictures of some Sweet Baby cards and tags I made this week.  They can be found in my Etsy Shop.

It is still pretty chilly and windy here, so I am staying close to home.  We are going to head out a little later to see the granddaughters and take them there Valentine gifts.  They are so busy with school activities that it is hard to get a chance to see both of them on a week day.






I thought you might also like to see the Valentine packages I made for my Granddaughters.  A pocket with a card and a separate pocket with a little folding money.  ;0)   and a treat bag filled with chocolates.

Hope they like them.  You can't hardly go wrong with teenagers with money and chocolate.  LOL



Hope you have a SWEET week.

BRRRRRRRR !!!

It has been cold and windy the past few days so I have been staying in as much as possible.   Went to Sunday school & church yesterday and hubby offered to take me out to lunch after.  It was so windy I opted to get a salad at our favorite drive thru instead.  Had a eye Dr. appt. this morning to recheck pressure on my eyes.  I had been diagnosed with glaucoma a while back.  Dr. said everything was fine now though.  The drops seem to be working for me.  But other than that I have been staying close to home.  Spring time can't come soon enough for me.  LOL ;0)

While I have been home bound I have been working in my studio.  Here are a couple of Easter cards I made and put in my Etsy Shop.  I also listed a couple of my treasured collectibles I decided to let go of in the downsizing.  Take a peak if you have a moment, and check back often, I am trying to get the shop full so the house won't be so full.  LOL ;0)

Have a warm and cozy week ahead.

Busy Week !!!

     I have been working on inventory for a Christmas Craft Show that I do the first week of November.  I mix my Studio time between Christmas items and general merchandise for my Etsy Shop.  This week the Christmas items seem to take center stage.  They will be sitting in my Etsy store for now until I need them for the Craft Show.  Hop over and take a peek.
     I also have for sale some sweet Easter Tags and Wish Tree Tags I finished up this week.
    We are trying to downsize still, hard to let go of thing you have treasured for years.  I have added a couple of my Cup & Saucer Sets to my shop also.  Way to many Cups & Saucer here.    LOL   :0)  More to come as I can bear to let go of them.
     Back to work for now.  Have a great weekend.
