FOR SALE & Moving!

Hey everyone! I know its been awhile since I last posted. Some of you know that I am moving with my job so things have been a bit hectic lately with finding a new home and getting my current home ready to sell. BUT...with that means I need to give some things up. So...(and I know this has nothing to do with primitive) I am selling off some of my precious items that I have no use for. If you are interested, just shoot me an email at auntmannys@aol.com

First up...

6.75 ctw Sapphire & Diamond Pendant...all offers considered...i dont wear pendants and dont know what else to do with it. Comes with a barcoded USGL Official Gem ID Card...

To Make or Not to Make??? and a Family Reunited! (no not Oprah's)

So, this past weekend my mom gathered all of us kids together (my brothers and their families as well as mine). She had something to announce. No one knew what was going on as mom had never done this before. However, since im the favorite (lol) I was aware of what she was doing.

She announced that there was going to be not only a new addition to the family...but THREE additions. My oh so smart brothers immediately asked if she was pregnant...OMG...really??? LMFAO!

She found one of my foster brothers from 25 years ago (she was a foster parent for many years when I was growing up). So we reunited with him and met his wife and young son. It was a great time and a very unexpected surprise for everyone else...

Here is a pic of me and the family together. From left to right...my middle adopted brother, MOM, my oldest full blood brother, me, my long lost foster brother and my youngest half brother. It was a good time had by all!

Ok...now on to other business...

So I am having a dilemma of whether or not I should make a Valentine doll. I have one in mind but am thinking it may just be too close to the holiday to sell. I also vowed to myself (as i have for the past countless years) that I would devote the slow season to gearing up for the following Halloween and Christmas seasons. Although I do have a few fireworks that I should probably finish up for Independence day selling. I have also made up some new Valentine Hang Tags and St Patricks tags (below).

Outside of that, I can't decide if I should just delve back into Halloween and Christmas items.

I need your help as my loyal followers, customers, friends and business associates...would you rather see more product variety for the soon to be here Halloween/Christmas season? Or would you like to see items for all seasons/holidays?

You can email me your thoughts, comment here, on facebook or wherever you'd like to get the message to me. I would just like some feedback from ya'll since you are what keeps me in business and you are what keeps me going with new ideas, etc.

Until next time...

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!

OMG! Check out these ornies!!!!

I am so in love! Not only with my doggies of course but with the new ornies I received!

These awesome ornies came from a wonderful artist. These ornaments just blew me away when I saw them...they are awesome and bout made me cry! Beveled circle glass ornies with each of my baby doggies on them including their names! At the top says "Merry Christmas" and the bottom "Happy New Year". I just can't believe how awesome they are!!!

By Popular Demand ~ Snowman Tangled in Lights!!!

I have had so many requests for the finished version of my Snowman Stump Tangled in Lights pattern. I tend to be very busy and don't have much time for special orders anymore...so...I decided to get one finished and get him listed on ebay! He is actually a mini version of the original. This will be the only Tangled in Lights snowman that I will make this year!



Click the pic above to check out the ebay auction! We started the price low so everyone could get in on it!

Again...this is the ONLY finished Snowman Tangled in Lights that we will make this year.

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!

I REALLY need to boast!

Ok...I think most know by now that I am obsessed with handmade ornies lol. I just cant get enough of them! Anyway...I recently got some awesome ornies! I just finished decorating my tree and so so happy with them all!
