Got A New Camera!

2009-07-26T10:53:00.005-04:00

My grandfather got a new camera a few weeks ago and he brought it over to my house so I could try it out! Of course I dragged my brothers around for a while. Surprisingly they did not do that bad. Here are some of the photos that I have taken.

(he wanted to wear those glasses....)

I hope you like them! Stick around there might be more to come!

Look What I Found!

2009-07-09T20:07:00.006-04:00

I love the Wizard of Oz...a lot, ever since I was a little girl. But never had it crossed my mind to search the Wizard of Oz on Etsy and take a peek! Well I found someone who did. I was just browsing through and stumbled upon this awesome treasury. Just great finds, I love everything about it!

A special thanks to Squishedfairy of Etsy for letting me share these wonderful picks!

Long Time No Talk

2009-07-04T02:34:00.003-04:00

It has been a while! I am back at home for good now. I am enjoying my summer and working A LOT (which would explain the "not blogging-ness"). But I am going to try and start up again and get things going. I have some new items waiting to come out and they should be posed on my site soon! I also have some photos to post too. Stick around. Its good to be back :)

Happy Day

2009-04-17T20:25:00.004-04:00

I have been trying to get a Treasury for the last week or so. I logged into Etsy today just to check up on everything and I thought I would take a look at some Treasuries so I clicked the link and the list was at 333. What luck! I was thinking Alrightttt! So I waited for a little while and it popped up and I grabbed one! Here it is. I hope you enjoy it!

I was feeling like Damask today. I am not sure why but I just love all of these designs! They are so classic!

Oh The Things He Does...

2009-04-17T12:36:00.002-04:00

My bother Ben is on a mission trip with our church down in Mississippi for his Spring Break. They are helping the people who were affected by Hurricane Katrina (it is amazing that they still need help!!!) I remember one of the first things he asked when he called my parents on the way down there..."Dad, are there going to be any lizards down there?" (my brothers are bug, lizard, snake, bird--just animal crazy!) Here is a picture of my brother Ben doing what he does best on his mission trip in Mississippi...

All My Buddies

2009-04-07T12:39:00.007-04:00

Two weekends ago my brother and sister-in-law needed a babysitter for the night so they could meet up with some friends. A.J. and I were home that weekend and we said we would love to help out! (we love watching those kids!) So we hand some fun with my nephews. They showed us how to play some games on the WII. It is amazing how well these two 4 year olds can play. They beat us every time!

My youngest nephew, Kaden, we in his bed when we got there and we just had to see him, so we got him up to play! As soon as I said the name A.J. he got really excited and started dancing and yelling "A.J. A.J. A.J. A.J." over and over. He followed A.J. around alllll night. He would be sad when he left the room and sit on his lap any chance he could. It was sooooo cute. Just too cute!

So please check back every Tuesday for my favorite Treasuries picks! Feel free to let me know what you think about the postings and the items found in the Treasuries. Enjoy! Here they are...

This Treasury was put together by skoshisbits from Etsy. The title is perfect for all these photos--just relax and enjoy the outdoors, take a walk. Just beautiful photos of the wonders of nature. All of these have captured some wonderful moments of the great out doors. Great finds!

This Treasury from UmbilicusDesigns is so totally cool. I love the unusual theme and unique items. Everything is just so interesting and one-of-a-kind. I had no idea you could do that many things with a bone theme. Shows you how talented Etsy artists are! Great picks!!!

I am just so drawn to these colors and tones. This is a very well put together and cohesive collection by Pleyades. I am maybe a little bias because one of my favorite colors is blue but I love how every picture is different but they all go together! Wonderful pictures!

Sneak Peak

2009-03-09T16:53:00.009-04:00

Royal Crown Tags: These come in sets of 8 with a blue, pink or black crown. Each one is dyed, cut, stamped and antiqued by hand (antiqued is the brown ink seen around the edges).

Classic Chandelier Card: Urban papers and colors mixed with a little bit of glam sure makes for an elegant card.
Chandelier Button Tags: These tags are just beauties! Each one has two red stitches and a vintage button attached. Enjoy!

Urban Scroll Fanciful Frame: I love these colors! I just love the way they contrast and blend at the same time!

As Clean as it Gets

2009-02-27T23:41:00.003-05:00

I just got back home for Spring Break!!! Ya! 11 days at home with my family. Last night I have no idea what came over me...all I wanted to do was clean. So I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned. I sorted out all my drawers and shelves. I set up my new sticker holder I got for Christmas. It is AWESOME! I love it! (thanks mom and dad!) It's just so much easier to create when everything around you is clean and where it is supposed to be. Now who knows how long this will last...I like to consider myself an organized and clean person. If you asked my family sometimes it gets out of hand but when my juices are flowing that is a whole different story. But it sure feels nice to have a clean and tidy working space!

On a different note...
I am headed over to my Grandparents tomorrow. I really would like to work a few new frames and get some of those listed. It has been kinda tough taking pictures and getting them listed but I really would like to get some of those up on my etsy site. So make sure you stick around, Ill have some frames up in no time!

The Killers Concert

2009-02-20T15:15:00.004-05:00

A few weeks ago my family and I went to The Killers Concert. We all got tickets for Christmas. It was really fun to spend time with everyone and do something different together. We all listen to The Killers and love their new album. Thanks Mom and Dad for taking us! I know everyone had a great time.

Shhhh...Here's a Sneak Peak

2009-01-11T13:26:00.003-05:00

Christmas Photos

2009-01-10T13:03:00.007-05:00

I had such a wonderful Christmas. I spent lots and lots of time with my family and friends. I got great gifts and shared a bunch of laughs. I am sad to see that it is over with. However, we have plenty of pictures and video to enjoy it for years to come! So here are some pictures!

Craft Show and Halloween Photos

2008-11-08T21:28:00.006-05:00

Last weekend I participated in Lutheran High North's Craft Show. This was truly a lot of fun. I had lots of visits from my family and help with setting up and taking down. I can not thank my family enough for giving me such amazing support throughout everything I do!!!!

I also had a wonderful Halloween! I spent time with my family at Cedar Point. I rode the Maverick for the first time. That is a ride like no other! Also rode Maxair and SkyHawk which are also really great rides! Nothing is better than going to Cedar Point during Halloween! I was able to see my nieces and nephews at HuckleBerry RailRoad. I stopped by Hugger to say hello to everyone. Everyone looked great in their costumes. Of course I spent time with my brothers during Halloween night.

I Am Back!

2008-10-15T18:26:00.003-04:00

Hello! I am back! After a few months of settling into my new dorm room at college I am back at it again blogging and promoting my etsy site! I have a few pictures! The first one is of my nieces and me. They got baptized this summer through our church. I was so proud of them! They did wonderful! Also, I have a picture of my nephews. This is a great picture because I got them all to look at the camera! Also this summer I took a trip to New York! With my aunts and cousins! We had so much fun. I was able to see so much. We went and ate lunch in Central Park, I saw Legally Blonde on Broadway, we saw the statue of liberty, went to a Yankees game and we stayed right in Time Square! I think that is it for now. Halloween is coming up so I will have more pictures from my Huckleberry Railroad visit and my Cedar Point family trip!

Swimming With The Boys

2008-07-24T11:01:00.003-04:00

Last week my boyfriend and I were looking for something to do. It was rainy outside and there was no good movies out so we decide to try this new recreation center that opened not to far from our house. They have a work out room, a big pool and jungle-jim for kids to play in. So we took my nephews and we went swimming in the lazy river and the kids play structure. It was really fun. All the boys had a blast!

Designs by Missrie

2008-07-12T10:21:00.011-04:00

Recently I had interview Missrie. She designs gorgeous earth toned jewelery for any style. Learn more about this jewelry craft er and take a look at some of her beautiful pieces!

Tell me a little about yourself
I'm 32 years old and I live in Rochester, NY. I'm a single mom to a fabulous little boy. During the day, I'm a purchasing coordinator for a manufacturing company. In the evening, I'm my own boss! Besides making jewelry, my other favorite past-times are reading, and karate.

How long have you been creating jewelry?
I've been creating jewelry for almost two years. It seems like I've been creating so much longer! I cant imagine how I could have gone so long without this wonderful hobby.
What got you started creating?
I actually got started just on a whim! I've always like the idea of crafts and creating things, but I didn't really know what I wanted to do. My parents and grandparents have all been into some form of craft or art, so I thought I must have it in me too! I love jewelry, and I initially thought it'd be a fun hobby, and I could give my creations away as gifts. More jewelry for me too. ;) Since then I've been obsessed!

How long have you been on Etsy?
I signed up on Etsy back in November 2006 but I didn't start listing and selling until January 2007. It's such a wonderful community. Not only am I a seller, I'm also a buyer!

What got you started on Etsy?
I tried selling on Ebay and didn't have any luck. Plus the fees are outrageous! I heard about Etsy from other jewelry sellers. The lower fees and the longer listing time is what initially attracted me. It's a wonderful user-friendly site!
Do you sell your jewelry anywhere else?
At this time, I pretty much just sell on Etsy. I occasionally list items on Craigslist, Myspace and Facebook, but I always direct back to Etsy. Eventually I'd like to sell at craft shows. Perhaps someday, I'll start up my own website.

What inspires you?
My family and friends inspire me. They've always been very supportive and excited to see my new creations. Fashion is also an inspiration. I like the idea of making jewelry for every style and occasion. Nature is another big one. I love earth tones and anything that makes me think of nature and the changing seasons.
What are your favorite materials to work with?
Why?Since I love the natural look, I adore working with natural material. Turquoise, jade and agates are wonderful. It's so fun to mix stones with man-made material. Throw in wire and the possibilities are endless!

What are your goals or hopes for the next year?
My goals and hopes for the next year is to learn more jewelry techniques. I'd love to try more wire wrapping, and eventually chain maille. I'm always up for a challenge!

Thank you Missrie! Check out her shop here!

You can also learn more about her on her blog here!

Dorm Time!

2008-07-08T20:13:00.007-04:00

This is my bedding for this fall at Western! My colors are pink, brown, and lime green. I really wanted to get a purple bed set, however it was impossible to find. So I went with this set and I really really like it alot now! My grandma is going to wash everything, all my sheets and towels so it seems like her house! Because it smells so goooooood.
These are my bath towels. I really like how they match my bed set.

Graduation Time!

2008-06-12T19:28:00.002-04:00

This was our last day of school. Each senior gets to dress in the cap and gown and take one last lap around the school. Everyone stands out and claps for us. It was a great time to say final good-byes to our teachers and friends. This was really something I had been look forward to for four years! It was worth the wait! I loved it! At the end my family waited and took pictures. Then we all went out to dinner together! Then that was it, it was the beginning of the rest of my life!

Prom Pictures!

2008-05-23T15:29:00.003-04:00

2008-04-13T13:12:00.005-04:00

My grandma makes these mini chocolate cakes and they are AMAZING! She calls them chocolate bombs because when you break into the center, chocolate syrup comes exploding out! This is the best desert! I love these mini cakes!

But of course my grandpa had to eat HALF of the cake before I even was able to take ONE bit! Thanks Grandpa! Nevertheless, as you can tell the chocolate bomb did not last long...

Thank God for Saturdays

2008-04-12T13:09:00.003-04:00

I woke up today around 10:00 a.m. All I have been thinking about for the past 3 hours is "I have to get my homework done and try to go to bed early tonight because I have school tomorrow!" Then my grandma asked if I was volunteering at church tomorrow...then I realized that it was Saturday NOT Sunday! That is the greatest, when you think the weekend is over but it has only just begun! I love that feeling. Now I can just relax and enjoy my Saturday! Thank God for Saturdays!
