1000th heart feature.

Today I reached a huge milestone (at least in my eyes) 1000 people have hearted my shop.  It makes me so happy to know that many people have browsed my shop and found something they liked.    I wanted to give a little love back to my 1000th, who actually turned out to be a dear teamcac friend. inspiredbymarie.etsy.com.

Bobbie makes some of the most beautiful wood burning art I have seen in my entire life.  One of my favorite pieces is the sailboat piece in the banner above.  

Here are a few more of my fav's.

and this one is favorite because hummingbirds always remind me of my grandmother.

Bobbie makes some beautiful wedding pieces from signature mattes to guest books and card boxes.    Please take a minute to stop by her shop and show her some love!

Front Page! I'm loving the recent FP excitement.

I actually had another one of my treasuries make it last Sunday and I never made it here to post, but now one of my items is on the FP thanks to an awesome treasury made by zaperoco

Want

A girl can WANT a lot of things, no one says I'll get them all...or any :) but it's still fun to look around.

Starting an awesome shelf from PB teens

this bag from anthropologie

this dress from banana (and while we are at WANTS, I want it 6 inches longer)

this art from geministudio

and these dog bowls from BellaVitaPet

Got another treasury on the front page of etsy yesterday.

What do you think of some of the items included?

Found a Funtastic Shop

You will quickly understand why I was initally drawn to it:

Isn't that ADORABLE?? and you know I love my doxies.

The shop is  http://www.etsy.com/shop/FuzzyMug

If you take some time and browse around there is tons of cuteness to be found.

This is only a very small assortment of what this great shop has to offer, so head on over to browse around and buy yourself something.  While you are there feel free to buy me a few things too :).

Etsy Front Page Fun

So on Saturday afternoon a treasury that I curated appeared on the front page of etsy.

Then later on that evening, one of my items was choosen to appear on the front page.

My attempt at being a potter.

'The City of Orlando has a pottery studio that is VERY affordable to use and learn at. They provide everything you need and even do the firing for you. I forced the hubs to come to a session with me and here is what we came up with.

I had a blast making these bowls, ended up with an entire set.

and then an extra one for some reason.  Well, the reason was to use up our clay. However, I LOVE the coloring on this one.

and for fun I made a cupcake.  It had a candle that got lost in the somewhere in the shuffle at the studio.

Then my husband, bless his heart for trying, made these adorable little vase looking things.

and to close, this is the wierd look Yota gives me when I take pictures of pottery outside.

A funny little email I read today

1. When you are sad,

I will jump on the person

who made you sad

like a spider monkey

jacked up on Mountain Dew!!!


2. When you are blue,

I will try to dislodge

whatever is choking you.


3. When you smile,

I will know you are

plotting something

that I must be involved in.


4. When you're scared,

we will high tail it out of here.


5. When you are worried,

I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse

it could be until you

quit whining, ya big baby!!!!


6. When you are confused,

I will use little words.


7. When you are sick,

Stay away from me

until you are well again.

I don't want whatever you have....


8. When you fall,

I'll pick you up

and dust you off--

After I laugh my rear off!!


9. This is my oath....

I pledge it to the end.

'Why?' you may ask;

-- because you are my FRIEND!

Color of the Day.....

Mustard!  Isn't it a beautiful color.
