My Etsy Bestie

My friend, Kristi, whom I met on Etsy, is having a birthday this weekend.  Wish I could celebrate with her, but we have to settle for a virtual celebration.  Kristi and I talk via email and phone almost daily, and we often send links of items we love (and don't love!) back and forth on Etsy.  Here is a collection of items Kristi has sent to me that she loves, as well as some other items that I think are her taste!  Doesn't she have great taste?!  The gorgeous Owl handmade coptic bound journal is from Kristi's shop.  For the most fabulous handmade journals, you must check her out @ TheNibandQuill on Etsy!

Thankful for these treasury challenge entries

My new item, snowman couple, is the inspiration item for the treasury challenge for the Like My Fanpage team this week!  I'm so excited.  Entries must contain my item and a link to the challenge blog.  Here are the first two entries, which I LOVE!

I'm so flattered that others would take the time to include my item in their treasuries!  Please show these artists the attention they deserve, and check out their treasuries for yourselves.  They really are beautiful!

My newest treasury

Ok.  So I've been very busy this morning, trying to keep up with the teams I've joined on etsy, and I've created this new treasury, which is a celebration of feminine beauty.  If you are a woman, you will find so many beautiful items in the shops featured in this treasury, so it's really worth clicking the link below!  Here it is, as well as a sneak peek:  http://www.etsy.com/treasury/MTE2NjEwOTB8MzI4MzMzOTA5/femininity?ref=pr_treasury

My kids think I'm the biggest Dork, but I used to be cool!
