Preschool Holiday Party

So, my little one has her Holiday Party at preschool on Wednesday. She loves a party! So after work today I spent some time making these...

And these...

These cute little candy cane reindeer came about from an idea I got over here. So simple. Thanks Crystal. These were super fun to make. We made a bunch. One for each classmate and a few for putting on gifts :)

Hope you had a great day!

Who doesn't LOVE a Cupcake?

Ok, so I just had to write a bit about this. Shelly, a wonderfully kind lady, over at http://mylilyeden.blogspot.com/ hosted this super fun Cupcake Card challenge. How exciting, right? She sold these identical "card packs" with all the most fun items for putting together a sweet cupcake card. Then gave everyone a good amount of time to come up with their sweet creations, and now she'll be putting the cards up on her blog for voting on December 1st or 2nd (I can't remember).

These were my leftovers after I made my card...

I can't wait to send it off to a friend. I have an old friend who's birthday is coming up and I think I'll be sending it her way filled with some well wishes. I still love REAL mail, call me crazy!

So go over to her blog and vote! And when you have a chance check out her super cute etsy shop. Such fun items in her shop. I always find something I love.

Ok...I see a New Year's Resolution in the Works

So I have not been the best blogger lately. I think it will be my 2009 resolution. "1. Be a Better Blogger" "2. Stay Organized"


I just added some cute clippies to the shop and all Christmas clippies are on SALE! Pick up a few they make great stocking stuffers or add ons to gifts. I like to tie mine on the package with a funky bow.

There are some other really cute ones in the shop too. Check out this little guy.

I'm going to put together a fun giveaway, because we all need a little fun in our lives. Check back. Have a super day!

Finally Back!!!

After a few months of computer problems and then server issues I am finally back to it! :)

Thanks for all your patience.  Look for a fabulous give away coming soon....

Hoot Hoot Hoot

I am so excited to share this with you!!! I just added a new item to my shop. These SUPER cute custom OWL shirts! I made one for my little one and she would not take it off. Then a few moms asked me to make them for their little ones, so I thought I might list it in my shop.

Each one is OOAK appliqued Owl Shirt. Unique and funky!! So adorable for the coming season. You get to pick favorite colors and the size and style of the top. Check it out!

The winner is...

It was so nice here today. About 70 degrees and a nice cool breeze. I love this weather. Reminds me that summer is around the corner!!

So I mailed out the tin full of clippies on Friday from my give-a-way. So CUTE!!

I think there were 10 sets in the tin! I can't wait to do another give-a-way. Look for another one soon.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone!

WOW! I'm such a bad blogger...

So it has been over a month since my last post. WOW! I'm bad at blogging. I guess I have just been busy with work. My husband also lost his job within the past few months, but he has started at a new job and the stress level around here has finally evened out. I am so happy he found a new job!

I have been adding new hair clips to my etsy shop almost everyday. I am so pleased with the interest so far. I think my clippies are just the cutest! Check them out in my shop. Here are a few I added today...

Thanks for reading along. Keep watching for April specials in my shop and some give aways. Have a great day!

We Have Snow!

So yesterday we got about 5 inches of snow. SNOW DAY!!! I normally wouldn't be so excited about snow, but we haven't had much this winter. I can really enjoy it and appreciate it since it hasn't taken over my life this winter. My daughter had a blast. As soon as she woke up she suited up. Here she is making a precious snow angel.

I also had time to add a ton of items to my etsy store. Check it out. Here are a few hair clippies I added.

I smell coffee...

Sunday Sunday

Well we picked up my daughter's swing set today. 2 huge, heavy boxes. I'm not sure how me and my husband did it! Once the weather gets a little warmer we'll put it together in the back yard. That should be an adventure for sure.

I also added some items to my etsy shop today. I made the coolest shabby chic hair clips using fabric. Check them out...

I have the day off on Monday and I am sooo excited! Can't wait to sleep past 5...that's AM.

My Very 1st Post!!

Ok. So here it is...my very first post on this blog! I am so excited. To be honest I've had this blog for a while and have not made a post because the first one seems to be so official. Seems the first post should be about something very important...

I have started selling my hair clips at my etsy shop http://www.artgirlblue.etsy.com/ and that is sort of important. I was selling primitive rag dolls but changed my entire shop this past week. I love, love, love making those dolls, but time for a change.

Here's some of the clips...

And here are the dolls I make...

Well I guess this is the end of my official first post. Thanks for reading it!
