My New Website

I've just recently started a new website where I am selling some of my jewelry creations, and some of my sewing creations. Take a few minutes and check it out!

Deck the Halls - yes, I know it's early, but I LOVE christmas.

I decided that I wanted some new ornaments for my small Christmas tree this year, and since I LOVE Paris, I decided that should be the theme.  So, I made glittered Eiffel Towers and Fleur De Lis for the tree.  Silver glitter bulbs, and a silver garland came next.  With a silver and black tree, I also needed some new decorations for that room that matched.

 

So, I made the following items to match: 

I think this framed subway art below and the paper christmas trees are my favorite.  The paper trees only cost about $2.00 to make.  The picture frame was purchased from the DI for $2.00 and painted, and then I used scrapbook paper as a border. 

 More Christmas to come!  I got most of it put up this weekend, but still haven't conquered the main Christmas tree.  That just might have to wait until next weekend.  

Birthday Calendar

I am HORRIBLE at remembering birthdays.  Quite some time ago I even created a birthday binder, but who pulls out a binder all the time to look at birthdays?  Not me.  So, I was browsing the DI the other day (becoming my favorite hangout) when I came across this little gem. . .

Nice huh?  It was only $1.00, and I immediately thought birthday calendar! And, here is the finished product.  There is a page for each month with all the birthdays for the month listed.  With this on my counter every single day I am bound to notice and remember to send cards or gifts right?
