When Did I Become Such a Joiner?

It all started with pesky Thing-A-Day 2 last February.  Ever since I joined that experiment I have become a more happy and fulfilled person who explores creative interests and gets out to meet people with similar interests.  Weird.
Today I joined The {New New} York Street Team, an Etsy street team that is comprised of a [...]

Back-to-School!

One thing about me is that I love school.  By that I mean, I am a good student (if I do say so myself) and I learn a lot in the classroom setting.  I have my Masters and have considered getting an additional degree but the thought of traditional homework makes me whimper.
That said, I [...]

The Quest for an Inexpensive “Pretty-Lady Mirror”

I was talking about what I needed to provide at my upcoming private trunk show (my first, if you will). I mentioned I would need elegant hand mirrors, and D. said “Oh, pretty-lady mirrors.” I said, “Yes.”
I poked around the neighborhood and I found two contenders – one at Urban Outfitters and one [...]

I love, love, love the holidays. I love, love, love finding just the perfect gift for each of my loved ones. I simply cannot stand crowds. So, in the spirit of avoiding the crowds on Black Friday, I am offering FREE SHIPPING within the US and Canada and those pretty gift boxes [...]

Happy Thanksgiving

Announcing a Black Friday Through Cyber Monday Promotion at The Craftarium

Thanksgiving is right around the corner which means that holiday shopping season is upon us!  Yikes.  I have bought approximately one holiday gift so far… a webcam… I cannot make a webcam and my in-laws require one for Skype calls with Wee-One.
Anyhow, in the spirit of avoiding the crowds on Black Friday, I am offering [...]

Pretty-Me-Up for the Holidays

Oh plain white boxes, this look just won’t do for the holidays. You are sturdy and shiny but you need something more. Something that says “party!”
How about something vintage?

Or how about less denominational and more whimsy?

Oh, I do love a good makeover.
I made these gift boxes for the jewelry party I am throwing.  [...]

Where I Will Be at 9 PM Eastern Time

Albeit I will be in my pajamas, but I will be attending:
The Indie Biz Chicks Craft Business Teleseminar! It costs $1 to register and it discusses affordable ways to market your craft business online – even if you don’t have a website.  I NEED this. Do you?  If so you better hurry up to register.
I [...]

A New Addition to My Etsy Shop

I finally added a bracelet to my shop. I have been test-driving this design for over a week to make sure it can take the beating that bracelets take. It turns out that it can!
Last Sunday I found myself in the emergency room.  I am fine, but my problem is real and it [...]

Words Elude Me

As you may have noticed, I have been short on blog posts lately.  I have been distracted and I have not been working on any new or exciting projects – hence no posts.
So please pardon my relative silence.  Keep me in your feed reader and I will be back and posting soon. (Nothing says craft [...]
