Who's up for Blueberries and Valentine Hang Tags???!!!!

Good day to you all! I know...I've been missing in action once again...WHEW! I'm still trying to recover from the holidays as I'm sure most of you are!

They went over well and the kids are extremely happy with what they received. I was lucky enough to be able to spend the holidays with my family to include my brothers, nieces, nephews, etc.

So...here comes the slow season so I have decided to focus mostly on ramping up for the upcoming Halloween and Christmas season (I know you don't want to hear that right now lol). However, I will be throwing in a few seasonal items here and there!

I've got fireworks (some finished and some that need to be finished) coming for the 4th of July holiday. These went over real well last year after I decided to dip them in my Extreme Apple Pie wax! I will also be putting out the pattern for them as well!

Ok...what's new? Well...I got some vintage image Valentine hang tags made up. They turned out awesome! You can either buy the finished product or the printable for them! Just click on the photo below to visit my store!



Another new item...something simple but something I have been wanting to do for awhile. I love the smell of blueberry so I figured I would not only make some blueberry ornies...but a blueberry doll as well.

Meet Baby Blue...







She's been out picking blueberries and she got herself a monster! Her monster blueberry as well as the smaller blueberries in her chest have all been dipped in my Boisterous Blueberry scented wax with just a tiny hint of raw vanilla! Oh she and her blueberries smell so wonderful! She will be listed on ebay tonight so check back and click on her photos to go to my auctions.

Lastly, I also have blueberry ornies. Same wax dipped as Baby Blue has above. Each set of ornies contains 24 highly scented blueberries! There will also be a pattern available for these as well!



WHEW! That was quite long winded! I guess that's what I get for going missing for so long! I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays and have a most awesome day!

NEW PRODUCT! Finished product and/or pattern available!

YAY! I finally took some time to make a new ornie! I REALLY love the way they turned out! I usually do a lot of detail with my items but the simplicity of this one made a big impact for me!

I have listed both the finished ornies as well as the pattern for them on ebay!

I hope you enjoy!

HUGE Giveaway and New Doll!

Hey ya'll! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. We celebrated my oldest daughter's 17th and two of my neices all on Saturday. It was a really wonderful day with the family!

I apologize for being so slow lately. It is certainly unlike me but between work and so many other things popping up, I am starting to realize that I'm becoming further and further away from my vision of being super woman...lol.

Anyway...I need to give you an update on the giveaway! I DID end up using one of your ideas because it was actually an idea of my own at one time. So I figure if two of us thought of it then I just had to make it! Jody over at Tumbleweed Trails suggested "Two Peas In A Pod". Now on ebay...

This is how it will work...I will start with ONE item (let's make it the pattern for the Two Peas In A Pod)...for every ten new people that sign up, I will add another item. It could be epatterns, supplies, tags...who knows! Holy cow, if 100 people sign up, that's 10 items! 200=20 items. So tell all your friends...the more that sign up, the more prizes you can win!!! This contest is open to EVERYONE...not just those in the U.S.!

And the rules are....

1. Follow my blog for 1 entry.

HOLIDAY EXTRAVAGANZA!

Snowman Stump Pattern Finally Finished & New Family Addition!

Alrighty ya'll...I know I have promising you the snowman stump pattern for awhile and many of you have been patiently waiting (thank you so much).

I am happy to announce that it is FINALLY finished! You can click the photo below to go to the auction. I do apologize for the delay but am happy I could get it done for you!

On another note...we have added a new addition to our family! This was my early Christmas and anniversary present. Today marks me and Alan's 15th anniversary!!!

His name is "Twinkie" and is 2 months old today. This is just a quickie pic but I'll get better pics taken this week. He is such a ball of fire but a bucket of love at the same time. His first night here was last night and he slept in my arms the whole night!

New Patterns ~ Zoey's Birthday

Hope all is well with everyone!

We celebrated Zoey's 12th birthday this weekend. It was actually on Sunday but we celebrated on Saturday and she had a sleepover with 4 other girls. OMG I had forgotten what it's like to have 4 giggling girls up all night! LOL Actually, they were finally laying down at about 4 in the morning.

Zoey received part of her Christmas present for her birthday. She had been wanting a Wii for the past couple of years and she finally got it. Her reaction was priceless! When she opened one of the first accessories, her reply to us was "You guys went overboard"...then she was speechless. As she opened the rest of the accessories she was just in awe. The last package was the Wii itself. She was so happy and excited that she just cried. I have it all on video and will try and get it up for yall to see as soon as I get a chance! Makes me cry every time I watch it!

Now, onto patterns. I know that many of you are waiting on the snowman stump doll with tangled lights pattern. I promise that it is in the works and will hopefully be done by this weekend! In the meantime, I did finish up the "Letters to Santa" and "Christmas Ball Ornies" patterns. They are both now on ebay and the letters are on patternmart. I will finish getting them up on my other sites as soon as I get a couple of apple ornie orders finished!

Anyone finish their Christmas shopping yet? Only 41 more days!!!

New Pattern...almost caught up!

Just a quick post today. Feeling better is awesome but catching up is hectic! Im almost there though. I have to work on a pattern for my new snowman stump below (now sold and thank you!) and get some graphics finished up.

I know there were some of you asking if the "Ice 4 Sale" snowman would be a pattern. I had been working on the pattern before I got sick and FINALLY got it finished up today. You can click her to go to her ebay auction.
