Well it's official. I'm closing this blog. I'm not going to take it down, but I won't be posting in it again in the foreseeable future. I love crafting and I love Etsy and I still visit the site weekly to check out what's new and window shop, but I simply don't have time to keep this part of my life going any longer. I've finished my first book, I'm getting close to the end of my second. My kids are getting big and requiring more and more of my time. I still do crafts now and again, but they are for me or gifts, and I'm okay with that. So thank you all for following me and for making this part of my life a good one. If you'd like to see what I'm doing now you can check out my writing blog <a href="http://thewritewaytotype.wordpress.com/" target="_new">The Write Way To Type</a>. Good luck and have a great day! :)<br />

XD Well here it is a week late. :)<br /><br />Next on our nursery rhyme tour is another old favorite of mine: Old King Cole. And while most cartoons of my youth showed the King smoking a pipe, most likely the pipe in question was actually a musical instrument.

I always liked this rhyme, because it's just plain nonsense. And a kid, nonsense was the best kind of sense. Grown-ups had boring logic and us kids, we had nonsense. Of course cows could jump over the moon. Just like little girls could climb into mirror worlds and stuffed animals could talk. It was a given that fantasy could be true even if it was only in our imaginations. I think adults would be better off if they played pretend on occasion. When you can imagine that fantasy is a possible, a whole new realm of real-life possibilities opens to you. Enjoy the treasury! :)<br /><br /><center><i>Hey diddle diddle,<br />The cat and the fiddle,<br />The cow jumped over the moon,<br />The little dog laughed to see such sport,<br />And the dish ran away with the spoon.</i></center><br /><table><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/61640688/cat-print-cat-fiddle-illustration-print" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UeTuL7RAu84/Tm5hyaSbiJI/AAAAAAAACyU/M6YlYP_m_kM/s200/01%2BCat.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651562101074528402" /><p>8x11 Cat and the Fiddle Illustration by ChasingtheCrayon</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/76235205/airborne-beagle?ref=tre-706747309-10" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-y52_RbcrTsw/Tm5i2F4j5UI/AAAAAAAACyk/lYu4lfnFk3U/s200/02%2BDog.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651563263828419906" /><p>Airborne Beagle 8x8 Fine Art Photograph by fatoldsunshine</p></a></center></td></tr><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/75971190/nursery-wall-art-the-cow-jumped-over-the?ref=tre-706747309-2" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1MfC2IrqvAc/Tm5jNIOVjgI/AAAAAAAACys/kLkv0TwSS50/s200/03%2BCow.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651563659593616898" /><p>Cow Jumped Over The Moon Illustration by BrickHouseStudio</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/68369851/country-blue-mini-serving-oval-tray?ref=tre-706747309-4" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_kfPLFUiVPk/Tm5kL4iLBCI/AAAAAAAACy8/ofzbCorQlWw/s200/04%2BDish.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651564737713603618" /><p>Country Blue Mini Serving Oval Tray by catspawpottery</p></a></center></td></tr><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/73187371/charming-little-dog-sitting-on-comfy?ref=tre-706747309-5" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WNGbeVwl4JM/Tm5kcJKBc0I/AAAAAAAACzE/G593F2kfpqQ/s200/05%2BChair.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651565017053623106" /><p>Little Dog Sitting on Comfy Chair Sculpture by dreamingdogs</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/62268730/cat-and-the-fiddle-necklace-silver?ref=tre-706747309-6" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7_FAs3PgbH8/Tm5ktW5MYZI/AAAAAAAACzM/QPVQ3R8ZFUA/s200/06%2BNecklace.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651565312798908818" /><p>Cat and the Fiddle Silver Plated Charm by treasuredcharms</p></a></center></td></tr></table><br />Also make sure you check out the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/NzU5NDc4Nnw3MDkyNTk1Mjg/hey-diddle-diddle" target="_new">big treasury</a> that matches this one!<br /><br />Have a great day! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508172571828253079.post-24054570589742672252011-09-05T23:03:00.002-04:002011-09-05T23:16:48.470-04:00Nursery RhymesLately I've been singing nursery rhymes to my kids at bedtime. It occurred to me that nursery rhymes would make a good series of treasuries. So, that's what I'm going to do. For the next few weeks I'm going to feature a different nursery rhyme each week. This week is one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy it! :)<br /><br /><center><i>Ride a cock-horse to Banbury Cross,<br />To see a fine lady upon a white horse;<br />Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,<br />And she shall have music wherever she goes.</i></center><br /><table><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/60051772/periwinkle-the-horse-black-and-white?ref=tre-600108322-1" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hw6xR1VXbWQ/TlWq0i8jN_I/AAAAAAAACuc/t00Pr-97zww/s200/1%2Bwhite%2Bhorse.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644605527689476082" /><p>Horse Photography Print by NatureMandalas</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/NzU5NDc4Nnw2MDAxMDgzMjI/banbury-cross" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x5hzM4TkGqM/TlWrNlnTWHI/AAAAAAAACuk/ivqGRCpENrc/s200/2%2Bcross.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644605957902391410" /><p>Cross 11" x 14" Digital Photo Print by taradesign</p></a></center></td></tr><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/45887573/ride-a-clock-horse-to-banbury-cross?ref=tre-600108322-9" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-i_CBQUVINDo/TlWrmdLP2kI/AAAAAAAACus/QqqHda08Z0Y/s200/3%2Bclock.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644606385133967938" /><p>Ride a Clock Horse to Banbury Cross Brooch by tinyminds</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/65432907/beaded-bell-silver-anklet?ref=tre-600108322-5" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xSuy_b6_kak/TlWr_cCBLBI/AAAAAAAACu0/eNh3_slbh54/s200/4%2Bbraclet.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644606814323551250" /><p>Beaded Bell Silver Anklet by XtraVirgin</p></a></center></td></tr><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/77492089/white-topaz-ring-sterling-silver?ref=tre-600108322-10" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qfcn8R6sUvI/TlWsVKOlslI/AAAAAAAACu8/MlopFuJEyDg/s200/5%2Bring.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644607187501560402" /><p>White Topaz Sterling Silver Ring by bewittched</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/79285325/original-oil-painting-white-horse?ref=tre-600108322-11" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5yR3VY8OjkM/TlWsuzOUzSI/AAAAAAAACvE/vqD-iTe-P0Y/s200/6%2Bhorse.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644607628003036450" /><p>White Horse Mixed Media Painting by elisavetasivas</p></a></center></td></tr></table><br />If you liked the mini treasury you can see the whole thing <a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/NzU5NDc4Nnw2MDAxMDgzMjI/banbury-cross" target="_new">here</a>.<br /><br />Have a great day! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508172571828253079.post-27911012019496967622011-08-16T12:24:00.001-04:002011-08-16T12:30:35.176-04:00I'm back!Hello everyone! I've returned for the holidays. I haven't quite finished my book yet, but it's coming along nicely. I'll try to post here once a week, but it might end up being more like once every two weeks. To start us off, I'd like to tell you what I did last Saturday.
<br />
<br />It started two weeks ago when my friend Vinny was raiding my cabinets for food and came across a large container of food coloring that I keep around for coloring frosting and candies. He decided he wanted to me to make a red velvet cake. The problem was we are almost out of red and it takes almost a full bottle of food coloring to make red velvet cake. We did however have a lot of blue. And that is how the idea of a blue suede cake was born.
<br />
<br />It was decided that in two weeks we would make a blue suede cake in remembrance of Elvis's death. Why? I think it was an excuse to make the craziest cake he could think of. This was the result.
<br />
<br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/autumn2may/6044063468/" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 263px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QVse2557lcQ/Tkm07gp7wfI/AAAAAAAACs4/PwA0DfU0yi0/s320/cake01.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5641238942729355762" /></a></center>
<br />What you are looking at is a blue suede (instead of red velvet) cake with a mixture of banana pudding and chopped banana in the middle. It's frosted with peanut butter icing, covered in crispy bacon, then topped with fried banana.
<br />
<br />Yes my friend Vinny designed a cake based on Elvis's favorite sandwich, which my husband cooked and we all ate. It was surprisingly good. The bacon and the peanut butter icing was the best part, which is really odd to think about. The weakest part of the cake was the cake itself. I think next time we need to use a less rich cake as all the toppings and fillings were pretty rich in and of themselves.
<br />
<br />This brings me to today's mini treasury which is a mash-up of the Elvis cake ingredients. Enjoy! :)

This means I'm also going to be taking a break from this blog for a bit as well.

There should be a law against doing that. I must have bought every other piece of junk food in the entire store! The husband was not pleased. :) It got me thinking about kid's snacks, since that's one of the things I was supposed to be buying. It's weird because I have lots of snacks for my kids in the house, but I rarely eat them. I like saving my calories for my own special grown-up snacks, like triple fudge ice cream. :D But I thought it would be fun to look up some kiddy snacks on Etsy and see what came up. I discovered a treasure trove of yummy lovelies, most of which are completely calorie free! Hungry? Enjoy this delicious group of childhood favorites! :)<br /><br /><table><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/62702500/2-juice-glasses-in-your-choice-of?ref=tre-4d99d701ad338eef5d43f2d5-11" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dPdxbV_IqVY/TZsUiRDH42I/AAAAAAAACiA/xu0lRM_NnEo/s200/1%2Bjuice.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592085941235213154" /><p>2 Juice Glasses Your Choice of Designs by BreadandBadger</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/53260478/banana-salt-and-pepper-shaker-set-of-2?ref=tre-4d99d701ad338eef5d43f2d5-2" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZCxPVa0wqAw/TZsUoI3EoVI/AAAAAAAACiI/yvwoftJz8p8/s200/2%2Bbanana.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592086042116399442" /><p>Banana Salt and Pepper Shakers by MichikoShimada</p></a></center></td></tr><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/43949339/cookies-8-x-8-fine-art-photograph?ref=tre-4d99d701ad338eef5d43f2d5-4" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bcSAF-XrIDw/TZsUsQdG4vI/AAAAAAAACiQ/FiVYHCEhfc8/s200/3%2Bcookies.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592086112874455794" /><p>Cookies 8 x 8 Fine Art Photograph by Jackierueda</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/50997066/ants-on-a-log-celery-sticks-peanut?ref=tre-4d99d701ad338eef5d43f2d5-10" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ctWY_tQKz2U/TZsUwRtVNiI/AAAAAAAACiY/xGWy9DmwgYs/s200/4%2Bcelery.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592086181930415650" /><p>Ants on a Log Felt Play Food by royalrugrats</p></a></center></td></tr><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/68596566/organic-cinnamon-honey-graham-crackers?ref=tre-4d99d701ad338eef5d43f2d5-3" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2PxCN1JVvBU/TZsU08qvymI/AAAAAAAACig/FDrtLh4eGvk/s200/5%2Bcracker.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592086262181775970" /><p>Cinnamon & Honey Graham Crackers by SaltCityPatisserie</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/59980847/goldfish-necklace?ref=tre-4d99d701ad338eef5d43f2d5-14" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YZOpdkITLRE/TZsU4vyty9I/AAAAAAAACio/ZyYleCZvTdE/s200/6%2Bfish.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592086327445015506" /><p>Goldfish Cracker Polymer Clay Necklace by BabyLovesPink</p></a></center></td></tr></table><br />Still hungry?

Today, it's 30. Sigh. Well, regardless of the temperature outside it is in fact spring. The birds are returning, the flowers are coming up, and there are new buds on all the trees. :) It's pretty to look at, even if you still have to wear a winter jacket when you go outside. Are there signs of spring where you live? If not then check out this mini treasury to get your daily dose of a newly blossoming spring. :)<br /><br /><table><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/55165108/a-little-dream-fine-art-photograph-print?ref=tre-4d8bd89a8f828eef7102a78c-5" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iuKLFs3pKw4/TY-7EBGQMVI/AAAAAAAACgY/zpt4nwB-cIo/s200/1%2Bbuds.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588891340278608210" /><p>A Little Dream - Fine Art Photographic Print by ajawin</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/68036800/curiosity-an-earthy-porcelain-pendant?ref=tre-4d8bd89a8f828eef7102a78c-5" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bcmxKzXyLIc/TZTPaxxC31I/AAAAAAAAChI/xhedZA7hrIw/s200/7%2Bnecklace.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5590321096416223058" /><p>Porcelain Pendant with Impression of Branch by peifferStudios</p></a></center></td></tr><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/52042719/amethyst-purple-brass-bud-earrings?ref=tre-4d8bd89a8f828eef7102a78c-1" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Nrqqu4XZmeQ/TY-7NW1eX3I/AAAAAAAACgo/Gf_3OEUPZj0/s200/3%2Bearrings.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588891500732637042" /><p>Amethyst Purple Brass Bud Earrings by TheBrassHussy</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/48316423/sugar-plum-coral-bells-8x10-photography?ref=tre-4d8bd89a8f828eef7102a78c-9" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RJnBYa_CTmY/TZTQEnVl8pI/AAAAAAAAChQ/iuPtQsYZiWA/s200/8%2Bpink.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5590321815171232402" /><p>Sugar Plum Coral Bells 8x10 Print by heatherkingdesigns</p></a></center></td></tr><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/53640225/green-buds-flower-photograph-fine-art?ref=tre-4d8bd89a8f828eef7102a78c-12" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IYI1krzk5Xk/TY-7VE_Dq_I/AAAAAAAACg4/8we-EmZsCmo/s200/5%2Bbuds.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588891633379945458" /><p>Green Buds Photographic Print 8x10 by eireanneilis</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/54012794/sweet-spring-herbal-tea?ref=tre-4d8bd89a8f828eef7102a78c-15" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ve_fmmws4r8/TY-7YtqtY2I/AAAAAAAAChA/5tc6tRAjzwU/s200/6%2Btea.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588891695840060258" /><p>Sweet Spring Herbal Tea by twigandleafbotanical</p></a></center></td></tr></table><br />For even more budding spring items, check out the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4d94d31ee93f6d91ef66a797/spring-is-budding" target="_new">big treasury</a> as well! :)<br /><br />Have a great day! :)<br /><br />* Edit *<br />I had to change this around a bit because some of the pieces I picked expired by the time I went to post the big treasury.

It contains both <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Patrick%27s_Day" target="_new">St. Patrick's Day</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_day" target="_new">Pi Day</a>, and the First Day of Spring! :) It also has a very beautiful and unique birthstone: aquamarine! This stone in ancient times was thought to bring happiness and everlasting youth. It was also thought that water the stone had been submerged in contained healing powers and because of it's color it was also worn by sailors to keep them safe at sea and prevent seasickness. The most valuable color this stone comes in is still the deep-blue green color the gem is named for. So, Happy Birthday to all my friends and followers born in March! Enjoy! :)<br /><br /><table><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/60250255/stuffed-plush-dragon-in-blue?ref=tre-4d7d13e3d1366d916d6eb93b-4" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ff21uMyxClg/TX4bu5quZFI/AAAAAAAACeI/pNYnl9V7Fag/s200/1%2Bdragon.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583931080553948242" /><p>Stuffed Plush Dragon in Blue by fabrickitchen</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/66757998/6-clouds-in-the-sky-unique-ceramic-tile?ref=tre-4d7d13e3d1366d916d6eb93b-7" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DLZNFJsUBhM/TX4b0Pn2uCI/AAAAAAAACeQ/2xUSL2w8JnE/s200/2%2Bclouds.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583931172346837026" /><p>6 Clouds in the Sky Ceramic Tile by karoart</p></a></center></td></tr><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/43624855/10-off-sale-aquamarine-gems-mosaic?ref=tre-4d7d13e3d1366d916d6eb93b-8" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EbQZ1c5m5R0/TX4b5dr-BZI/AAAAAAAACeY/9nog4mMCvAs/s200/3%2Bcandle.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583931262021535122" /><p>Aquamarine Gems Mosaic Candle Holder by Trencadis</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/65816883/blue-ice-8x10-fine-art-photograph?ref=tre-4d7d13e3d1366d916d6eb93b-3" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HpOLi0818Uo/TX4b9A1f8qI/AAAAAAAACeg/Edm2nJSUfyQ/s200/4%2Bice.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583931322996355746" /><p>Blue Ice Fine Art Print by JenniferLynnPhotos</p></a></center></td></tr><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/42626656/lucky-shamrock-scarfrobins-egg-blue-aod?ref=tre-4d7d13e3d1366d916d6eb93b-1" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6tz96--A2Ec/TX4cCSPCZMI/AAAAAAAACeo/nOpZq3FfTbg/s200/5%2Bscarf.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583931413566219458" /><p>Lucky Shamrock Crochet Scarf by Ayca</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/37452867/enchanted-birds-concertina-photo-album?ref=tre-4d7d13e3d1366d916d6eb93b-2" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fKkAfiDdG0E/TX4cGhbLbhI/AAAAAAAACew/fvRKjFn6c4M/s200/6%2Bbook.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583931486363151890" /><p>Enchanted Birds Concertina Photo Album by honeydesignbooks</p></a></center></td></tr></table><br /><br />Make sure you check out the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4d7e2aa0f7058eef0ff824ae/the-month-of-the-aquamarine" target="_new">big treasury</a> for more March themed pieces! :)<br /><br />Have a great Pi Day! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508172571828253079.post-87118141311621805322011-03-08T13:33:00.002-05:002011-03-08T13:44:17.414-05:00Epic FantasyAlso epicly hard treasury to make! I don't know if I was just really distracted this week or if I'm too picky or what, but it took me FIVE days to make this treasury! That's a new record! :)<br /><br />I thought it would be fun to make a treasury based on fantasy stories since I'd been reading a lot of them lately. But it turned out to be a lot harder then I thought it would be. I think my mistake was not having a clear idea of what I wanted to include. There are SO many cool fantasy items on Etsy, I was just overwhelmed! But it's finally done! And I hope you enjoy it! :)<br /><br /><table><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/68396836/a-fairy-door-for-fairy-tale-creatures?ref=tre-4d7106e0e4a66d91ec28f548-1" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3LZdiCOy5dA/TXZpRqEI9bI/AAAAAAAACdY/zScvNWOUHxY/s200/1%2Bdoor.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581764540242654642" /><p>Carved Wood Fairy Door by TheDancingGoats</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/60025969/greenman-custom-made-leather-mask-leaf?ref=tre-4d7106e0e4a66d91ec28f548-3" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CEUGsWM0Fqk/TXZrJaHy0uI/AAAAAAAACdg/yr47ndN_UUI/s200/2%2Bmask.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581766597547315938" /><p>Greenman Custom Made Leather Mask by columbina</p></a></center></td></tr><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/57387173/awakening-8x10-print?ref=tre-4d7106e0e4a66d91ec28f548-5" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3DeekY3ispk/TXZxa_7De5I/AAAAAAAACdo/4Im1LEgTZPE/s200/3%2Bgirl.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581773496821971858" /><p>Awakening - 8x10 Print of Original Painting by EmilyBalivet</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/61096147/old-dripping-candle-set-halloween-range?ref=tre-4d7106e0e4a66d91ec28f548-10" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--qFC7UjQZEs/TXZxvMSZRgI/AAAAAAAACdw/zhUDJoSWaQA/s200/4%2Bcandles.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581773843738478082" /><p>Old Dripping Candle Set by PixieDustMiniatures</p></a></center></td></tr><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/68971810/coptic-stich-7-12-x-5-12-wood-journal?ref=tre-4d7106e0e4a66d91ec28f548-7" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YG3GvmSdYGQ/TXZyBRfpdCI/AAAAAAAACd4/oKJJZ2Krm9Q/s200/5%2Bbook.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581774154373887010" /><p>Coptic Stich Wood Carved Journal by crearting</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/65652183/1-castle-of-tiny-leprechaun?ref=tre-4d7106e0e4a66d91ec28f548-6" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-R35I9NZnxro/TXZyjLhjOjI/AAAAAAAACeA/SuQgVsSDm3Y/s200/6%2Bcastle.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581774736886807090" /><p>Castle of the Tiny Leprechaun by vishnya</p></a></center></td></tr></table><br />And once again I found far too many amazing piece to include all the pictures here.

I blame my new friends at <a href="http://fantasy-faction.com/" target="_new">Fantasy-Faction.com</a>: a fantasy book website that does reviews and has an awesome forum where we talk about fantasy and sci-fi geeky stuff both book and non-book related. Now don't get me wrong I love fantasy books, I'm even writing one! But listening to everyone talk about all these cool books they've read all day had gotten me back into reading in a big way. I finished 3 new books in less then a week! XD
<br />
<br />Why do I bring this up you ask? Well I noticed when I started reading again, that since I moved I no longer own any bookmarks. I find myself using receipts, scraps of paper, and even cards from my kids boardgames I find lying around. I decided something, I need to buy a bookmark. And since I know a bunch of awesome artists on Etsy that have pieces I've been lusting after for years now, I figured I'd buy one from them! :)
<br />
<br />That's where I ran into the problem. I found too many I like! So, then I decided to pick the pieces I liked the best and make a treasury to help me decide. But it didn't help. I still can't decide! :) Maybe you guys can help me. Which bookmark do you like best?

My computer went kerplooie over the weekend and my husband and I had to patch together a working one out of three defunked ones. Now I have a computer again, but I have to reinstall all my programs and fix all my settings again before I have time to play. :( Plus I seem to have misplaced my Paint Shop Pro CD and I definitely need that to make my mini treasuries. Hopefully I'll have everything fixed by the end of the week.<br /><br />Wish me luck and have a great day! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508172571828253079.post-88731973339172306142011-02-18T14:13:00.001-05:002011-02-18T14:14:03.369-05:00Month of the AmethystI keep thinking February is over, and I'm not sure why. But I'm glad it's not, because I almost forgot to do its birthstone post! :) February's birthstone is amethyst, which I can never spell correctly, but happens to be one of my favorite stones. :) I love its deep purple color and how amethyst crystals can be so many different shades of purple at once. :) Amethyst is actually a form of purple quartz. In ancient times they used to make drinking glasses out of it because they thought amethyst prevented drunkenness! If only it were that simple. ;)<br /><br />Being that purple is one of my favorite colors and amethyst is one of my favorite stones, this was a hard treasury to make! There are just far too many beautiful amethyst pieces on Etsy! I hope you like the ones I finally picked. :) Happy birthday to all my friends and family born in February! Enjoy! :)<br /><br /><table><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/62272284/kaleidoscope-of-butterflies?ref=tre-4d5da87f8b9a6d912a1e0e77-3" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-njo9q1HA4ss/TV6-1essL_I/AAAAAAAACbo/NWbHAXWlpoE/s200/1%2Bbutterfly.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575103214714105842" /><p>Kaleidoscope of Paper Butterflies by paperNplastic</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/37682949/violet-purple-amethyst-briolette?ref=tre-4d5da87f8b9a6d912a1e0e77-4" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XUllKtPCp3E/TV6_OsIZbdI/AAAAAAAACbw/dadkfkiWjQY/s200/2%2Bearrings.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575103647816707538" /><p>Amethyst Oxidized Sterling Silver Earrings by GlitzGlitter</p></a></center></td></tr><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/66639406/amethyst-heart-felts-ornaments-set-of-5?ref=tre-4d5da87f8b9a6d912a1e0e77-2" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MoNl6IGcAfs/TV6_xkYPKXI/AAAAAAAACb4/W86JhJjHKhc/s200/3%2Bhearts.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575104247031081330" /><p>Amethyst Heart Felt Ornaments by SewnNatural</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/68180740/purple-balcony-in-the-french-quarter?ref=tre-4d5da87f8b9a6d912a1e0e77-11" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HNT3fmOGed4/TV7AHQa3-lI/AAAAAAAACcA/f1CtxlTn3II/s200/4%2Bwindow.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575104619630557778" /><p>Purple Balcony 8x10 Fine Art Photo by rebeccaplotnick</p></a></center></td></tr><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/67852809/delphinium-print-of-watercolor?ref=tre-4d5da87f8b9a6d912a1e0e77-9" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gFm5hvKhhYM/TV7AgLPuu-I/AAAAAAAACcI/G50tUe8k3Hw/s200/5%2Bflower.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575105047738366946" /><p>Delphinium - Print of Watercolor by amberalexander</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/64294464/soap-the-collection-amethyst-crystal?ref=tre-4d5da87f8b9a6d912a1e0e77-7" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zYeGvOjg_54/TV7A-iphBwI/AAAAAAAACcQ/oBdk-CC0RiQ/s200/6%2Bcrystals.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575105569416611586" /><p>Amethyst Crystal Soap by amethystsoap</p></a></center></td></tr></table><br />And here are even more beautiful pieces in the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4d5ec4e8c5998eefc5827a36/month-of-the-amethyst" target="_new">full sized treasury</a>! :)<br /><br />Have a great Friday and a beautiful weekend!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508172571828253079.post-62756203424508258342011-02-14T12:38:00.001-05:002011-02-14T12:39:30.513-05:00Happy Valentine's Day!My weekend seems to have evaporated into thin air this week. I'm not sure where it went, but I was more than a little surprised to find that when I woke up this morning it was Monday already! Luckily my husband sweetened the blow a bit by making me some chocolate mint heart cookies and leaving them on my desk this morning. :) Chocolate and Valentine's Day go hand in hand, and that is why I decided that today's post is going to heavily feature some of Etsy great edible works of art: handmade chocolates! If you've got a sweet tooth, then you will want to check out today's mini treasury!

We've gotten more snow this year then we have in a long time. And while I don't mind snow, generally speaking, I hate the gray and gloom that comes hand in hand with snowy weather. Gray days should be for curling up in front of a fire with a good book eating some sort of cookie or pastry and drinking a nice hot cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows. :) But in real life, you have to get up and clean and cook or go to work, or fulfil whatever obligations you have for the day. And I think that is inordinately unfair! :P<br /><br />This is why I'm always happy when we get a few sunny days in a row during the winter. It makes me more motivated to get things done and makes everything just a little bit cheerier! :)<br /><br />You know what else makes me cheery this time of year? Conversation heart candies! :D I know, half of you are saying 'Yuck! You eat those things?'. Well, yes, yes I do. :) I know they are basically compressed sugar, dyed to colors not normally found in nature, but as the other of you will attest, they are also really yummy! :D Besides, who couldn't love sweet little candies with sayings like 'I WUV U'? ;) Check out today's mini treasury and I'm sure when you're done you'll agree with me completely! Enjoy! :)<br /><br /><table><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/38108798/conversation-hearts-fondant-cupcake" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TUxSO9rv2PI/AAAAAAAACZY/n2Y0jtq0ac4/s200/1%2Bcupcake.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569917256180160754" /><p>Conversation Hearts Fondant Cupcake Topper by TwoSugarBabies</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/66807138/sweetheart-conversation-heart-necklace" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TUxSrth4P0I/AAAAAAAACZg/QciemzL09Lo/s200/2%2Bnecklace.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569917750060007234" /><p>Sweetheart Conversation Heart Necklace by BitOfSugar</p></a></center></td></tr><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/67044915/package-of-3-conversation-heart-counted" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TUxTRpdvUwI/AAAAAAAACZo/7N3vqKVzBTE/s200/3%2Bneedle.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569918401803932418" /><p>3 Conversation Heart Counted Cross Stitch Kits by slipcoveryourlife</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/61393380/you-rock-conversation-hearts-note-card" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TUxUC4_Tm1I/AAAAAAAACZw/iFLtEy8PtY4/s200/4%2Bcandy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569919247784844114" /><p>Conversation Hearts Note Card by dbPhoto</p></a></center></td></tr><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/65997288/just-arrived-mini-valentines-day" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TUxU0ih_5-I/AAAAAAAACZ4/2rV9js92EPQ/s200/5%2Bbookmarks.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569920100749797346" /><p>Mini Conversation Heart Bookmarks by HesedBooksAndGifts</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/64699523/conversation-heart-mini-wreath-for" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TUxVS8xZ9JI/AAAAAAAACaA/VCZTBMsq94Q/s200/6%2Bwreath.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569920623189816466" /><p>Conversation Heart Mini Wreath by thekeepershouse</p></a></center></td></tr></table><br />And of course, here is <a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4d501a9274056d9189b172af/i-wuv-u-3" target="_new">even more Valentine's Day sweetness</a> for you to enjoy! :)<br /><br />Have a great day! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508172571828253079.post-12992456577225401032011-02-01T15:09:00.012-05:002011-02-02T12:27:18.163-05:00Okay I'm Back NowWow. That was hard! But I finally finished writing and editing my first book. Now I just have to sit back and wait to see if it gets anywhere in the contest I entered it in. :) If you'd like to know more about my book, you can check out my <a href="http://thewritewaytotype.blogspot.com/" target="_new">writing blog</a> for more info. :)<br /><br />So let's see, the last time I did a mini treasury it was the beginning of January, and here we are at the very beginning of February! And what happens in February? Valentine's Day! :D<br /><br />If you've been following me for a while you probably already know that I LOVE holidays! :) I love decorating my house, I love making holiday food, and I love making holiday treasuries! :) Valentine's is one of my favorite holidays because it is one of the candy holidays! You get to eat chocolate this and chocolate that and nobody will look twice at you because, after all, Valentine's Day only comes once a year, why not indulge? ;) Which brings us to today's mini treasury, which features one of the greatest Valentine's Day foods: chocolate covered strawberries! I hope you're hungry! Enjoy! :)<br /><br /><table><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/39957891/love-is-sweet" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TUhy4-TJywI/AAAAAAAACYg/Mv1yrgNjB4E/s200/1%2Bheart.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568827262365190914" /><p>Love Is Sweet Chocolate Heart Painting by santacruzart</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/9416482/chocolate-covered-strawberry-earrings" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TUhzx3ayeJI/AAAAAAAACYo/_R0fL-3mF04/s200/2%2Bearrings.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568828239770712210" /><p>Chocolate Covered Strawberry Earrings by inediblejewelry</p></a></center></td></tr><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/49986789/chocolate-covered-strawberry-the" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TUh0M8QvvSI/AAAAAAAACYw/7R_UUE6CA28/s200/3%2Bwreath.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568828704927235362" /><p>Chocolate Covered Strawberry Felt Yarn Wreath by KnockKnocking</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/62699730/agapanthus-floral-note-card-in-red-and" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TUh0hBq2PHI/AAAAAAAACY4/QVblBaxtRd8/s200/4%2Benvolope.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568829049976274034" /><p>Agapanthus Floral Note Card by TeroldegoAndTomatoes</p></a></center></td></tr><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/65192391/the-jack-wood-distressed-picture-frame" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TUh0x58RPMI/AAAAAAAACZA/qH00RJYov1g/s200/5%2Bframe.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568829339959639234" /><p>The Jack Wood Distressed Picture Frame by ellachamp</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/34958674/chocolate-covered-strawberry-soap" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TUh1PPrZ15I/AAAAAAAACZI/5Hratv7YTw8/s200/6%2Bstrawberry.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568829844010686354" /><p>Chocolate Covered Strawberry Soap by goodkarmasoaps</p></a></center></td></tr></table><br />And for even more deliciousness, check out the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4d4993dfd0508eefdc842dc6/chocolate-covered-strawberries" target="_new">big treasury</a> that matches it! :)<br /><br />Have a sweet day! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508172571828253079.post-68196605801367178112011-01-19T11:06:00.000-05:002011-01-19T11:06:28.885-05:00I'm here honest!I was trying to get a real post together for this week, but it looks like it's not going happen.

I decided to go out while it was still snowing and take a bunch of pics. :) I haven't fixed them all yet, but I did post a few on Flickr this morning. Here's my favorite from the bunch I've already posted:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/autumn2may/5342548827/" title="River by Autumn2May, on Flickr" target="_new"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5245/5342548827_fe668734e3.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="River" /></a><br /><br />It's a little stream, set back in the woods at the park near my house! I didn't even know it was there, because during the non-snowy season, the woods are completely overgrown with pricker bushes and you can't walk back that far. But since everything was covered with snow, I was able to walk along some of the deer paths pretty deep into the trees. :) It was so beautiful and peaceful wandering along the paths through the woods! I'll post the rest of them on Flickr either today or tomorrow. :)<br /><br />In keeping with the wintry theme, today's mini treasury is all about snow! Enjoy! :)<br /><br /><table><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/55861962/a-winters-journal-shakespeare" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TSsbAfMHL5I/AAAAAAAACXs/Xkn9pUjjHyE/s200/1%2Bbook.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560567860105260946" /><p>Shakespeare Leatherbound Journal by immortallongings</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/36356550/father-frost-im-a-kiva-lender" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TSsbdviJzsI/AAAAAAAACX0/B01TNlIgmoA/s200/2%2Btree.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560568362708881090" /><p>Father Frost 8x10 Photography Print by photographybymoni</p></a></center></td></tr><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/54628689/snowflakes-in-the-sky" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TSsb2cqEwzI/AAAAAAAACX8/o9tqLhw7SIo/s200/3%2Bpendant.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560568787138560818" /><p>Snowflakes in the Sky Necklace by JanPalomboDesign</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/34662550/ready-to-ship-priority-mail-in-usa" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TSscVV9bkKI/AAAAAAAACYE/FfVC7n-dD4k/s200/4%2Bbag.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560569317916643490" /><p>Shoulder Bag with Downhill Skier by MondayMorningStudios</p></a></center></td></tr><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/62692600/winter-wonderland-book-thong-beaded" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TSscq7CAgqI/AAAAAAAACYM/6SMr4v0vjzM/s200/5%2Bsnowflake.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560569688645206690" /><p>Winter Wonderland Beaded Bookmark by lmgdesign</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/48654014/bundle-turquoise-morning-sky-corespun" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TSsc9b0J4aI/AAAAAAAACYU/E30wCr07uKA/s200/6%2Byarn.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560570006683115938" /><p>Turquoise Morning Sky Corespun Silk Yarn by greybirdtextiles</p></a></center></td></tr></table><br />And here's the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4d2b291dea3d6d916e1ad088/let-it-snow" target="_new">big treasury</a> that matches it!<br /><br />Have a cool day! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508172571828253079.post-14651401414739371362011-01-07T10:20:00.002-05:002011-01-07T10:22:08.648-05:00Sugar Rush!This Halloween I got a craving for a candy I hadn't had in a long time: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixy_Stix" target="_new">Pixy Stix</a>! I went out to the grocery store to pick some up, but they didn't have any. Over the next couple of weeks I searched all of the stores in my area, but I couldn't find them anywhere. :( Then on Tuesday, I went to Michael's to spend the gift card I'd gotten for Christmas and there they were, right by the checkout!<br /><br />I was so excited that I called my husband to tell him and then briefly considered spending my entire gift card on Pixy Stix! :D My husband talked me down. But I did buy four bags! :) Yes I am weird, I just usually keep it to myself. ;)<br /><br />I have been snacking on a few here and there all week. So while trying to come up with a theme for today's post, I decided why not do something with sugar! I looked for Pixy Stix specific items, but there weren't enough to do a standard sized treasury. Instead what I came up with is a treasury full of brightly colored sugary pieces, some of which are made of actual sugar. :) I hope you enjoy this sweet mini treasury! :)<br /><br /><table><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/48939942/sweet-strawberry-ring-pop-candy-glam" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TSY8-gCnOgI/AAAAAAAACW8/oU7uE5NwEJ0/s200/1%2Bring.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559197834485905922" /><p>Sweet Strawberry Ring Pop Candy Resin Ring by athinalabella</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/56333920/rock-candy-soap-complete-set" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TSY9YaIsR-I/AAAAAAAACXE/jjtosyOAFX8/s200/2%2Brock%2Bcandy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559198279577389026" /><p>Rock Candy Soap Complete Set by LoveLeeSoaps</p></a></center></td></tr><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/55335039/sugar-cookie-lollipop" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TSY9qugYm6I/AAAAAAAACXM/HeYDtmCGwGA/s200/3%2Bcookie%2Bpops.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559198594283117474" /><p>12 Dozen Sugar Cookie Lollipops by FunFavors</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/46404462/green-and-white-ribbon-candy-on-purple" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TSY-Gg8eAHI/AAAAAAAACXU/ci18b6Fu5FE/s200/4%2Bribbon.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559199071679152242" /><p>Ribbon Candy 8x10 Fine Art Print by SharonWhelton</p></a></center></td></tr><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/53478339/vegan-sushi-candy" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TSY-cYANflI/AAAAAAAACXc/Ke3-ETlsgZs/s200/5%2Bsushi.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559199447236050514" /><p>Vegan Marshmallow Sushi Candy by friendlycreationss</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/60391551/roscata-orange-creamsicle-necklace" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TSY-z1dXI6I/AAAAAAAACXk/ZNVYhzG6Xeo/s200/6%2Bice%2Bpop.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559199850279936930" /><p>Orange Creamsicle Polymer Clay Necklace by roscata</p></a></center></td></tr></table><br />And here is the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4d272f6018d16d91099a17f9/sugar-rush" target="_new">big treasury</a> that matches it!<br /><br />Have a sweet day! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508172571828253079.post-32080549095049938972011-01-03T10:00:00.001-05:002011-01-03T10:00:45.736-05:00The Month of the GarnetHappy New Year everyone! I hope everyone had a great and festive December! Anyone make any New Year's resolutions? I did. I finally decided to steal my friend Bill's resolution and resolve not to make any more resolutions! He's stuck to it for about ten years now, so I think it's my best bet for actually following through with one. :)<br /><br />The snow around here is about half way gone. It's been over 40 degrees for the last three days or so. If it keeps up I figure we'll be back to just grass again by the weekend. New Jersey weather is really weird...<br /><br />Anyway, now it's January. And January's birthstone is garnet! I love garnet. :) Red is one of my favorite colors and while rubies are very nice, I love the deep red color of garnets. Because of it's deep red color people in ancient times thought garnet had the ability to stop bleeding and cure disorders of the blood. It was also given as gifts between friends to ensure they would meet again. :) So to all my friends and followers born in January, Happy Birthday! Hope you enjoy this garnet mini treasury and that you have a happy and blessed birth month! :)<br /><br /><table><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/53658834/red-flyer-bicycle-for-dudes-for-men-for" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TR_nVxqQy8I/AAAAAAAACV4/ouoYYlmCDzI/s200/1%2Bbike.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557414826492349378" /><p>Red Flyer Bicycle 8x8 Fine Art Print by Raceytay</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/62247759/vintage-70s-deep-merlot-lace-collar" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TR_ny0OisYI/AAAAAAAACWA/Q-iuYyg-pAY/s200/2%2Bdress.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557415325397594498" /><p>Vintage 70s Deep Merlot Velvet Dress from Lolavintage</p></a></center></td></tr><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/15785080/garnet-sunset-owl-with-log-perch" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TR_oUqoip8I/AAAAAAAACWI/xZ1-40QBmVA/s200/3%2Bowl.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557415906937841602" /><p>Garnet Sunset Owl with Log Perch by HandworkNaturals</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/64880749/birthstones-hard-candy-gems-january" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TR_osbL4kPI/AAAAAAAACWQ/OOfP3Cibiwc/s200/4%2Bcandy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557416315107971314" /><p>Garnet Hard Candy Gems Pomegranate by VintageConfections</p></a></center></td></tr><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/53240143/cable-knit-lotus-purse-in-burgundy-and" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TR_prwgdsyI/AAAAAAAACWY/ZmaXvFpXRkU/s200/5%2Bpurse.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557417403163194146" /><p>Cable Knit Lotus Purse in Burgundy by efran</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/62653207/modern-numbers-clock-poppy-red" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TR_qFBIXFeI/AAAAAAAACWg/qGsdPcRizF8/s200/6%2Bclock.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557417837122229730" /><p>Modern Numbers Clock Poppy Red by uncommon</p></a></center></td></tr></table><br />Here's the link to the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4d21e490ccc98eef2f7931e5/the-month-of-the-garnet" target="_new">matching treasury</a> if you'd like to see more! :)<br /><br />Oh, I almost forgot!

My husband made a bunch of cookies for our Christmas party on Saturday. Then on Sunday we went to my mom's and the kids decorated some gingerbread men. :) Well they mostly just dumped sprinkles on them and ate all the chocolate chips, but they did have fun! :) With all the cookies in their various forms around this weekend, I decided that Christmas cookies would be a good theme for today's mini treasury!

I had two birthday parties, a cookie swap and a craft show last weekend. This week I have to clean the whole house and decorate (cause I have nothing up yet), because this weekend I have a Christmas party at my house and cookie party for my kids! December is nuts this year! :) Oh and I haven't started Christmas shopping yet! :o<br /><br />So I'm sure at this point your asking yourself why I'm blogging at all. Well, partly because I'm crazy, and partly because this is way more fun then cleaning my house! :) And in the spirit of procrastination I've not only taken the time to do a blog post, but I've also done a December birthstone mini treasury. Hope you enjoy this collection of turquoise treasures! :)<br /><br /><table><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/59461575/good-luck-binary-code-bracelet" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TQZgMVEHuTI/AAAAAAAACT8/kMalyyzrNgQ/s200/1%2Bbracelet.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550229355709839666" /><p>Good Luck - Binary Code Bracelet by adotelise</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/37351974/white-tree-8x10-print" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TQZgoG3C1TI/AAAAAAAACUE/l_dQ5lloQrg/s200/2%2Btree.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550229832933233970" /><p>White Tree 8x10 Print by suchprettycolors</p></a></center></td></tr><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/38738569/ready-to-ship-simply-stunning-banana" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TQZg8GKL2MI/AAAAAAAACUM/ZNa1gyVPxlU/s200/3%2Bshawl.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550230176342464706" /><p>Simply Stunning Turquoise Banana Silk Shawl by VioletStarCreations</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/62814497/enchanted-mini-journal-teal-leather-book" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TQZhQKlwnmI/AAAAAAAACUU/HuOIPgmDJqA/s200/4%2Bbook.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550230521129246306" /><p>Teal Leather Engraved Book with Suede Tie by AwakenJournaling</p></a></center></td></tr><tr><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/39858862/pale-blue-chocolate-box-112-miniature" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TQZhvZyTCmI/AAAAAAAACUc/3OhofdQdIYU/s200/5%2Bcandy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550231057784310370" /><p>Pale Blue Chocolate Box - 1/12 Miniature by PetitPlat</p></a></center></td><td><center><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/44525924/three-dimensional-blue-green-and" target="_new"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCw7fnQXy_8/TQZichLnUdI/AAAAAAAACUk/QrnDqIq2T3o/s200/6%2Bstar.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550231832863658450" /><p>3D Beveled Glass Snowflake Ornament by snlcreations</p></a></center></td></tr></table><br />And here's a <a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4d0665a440036d9104bc1e87/the-month-of-turquoise" target="_new">big treasury</a> to match it! :)<br /><br />Have a great week and Happy Birthday to all my friends and family born in December! :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com5
