You may recall a unique giveaway for a handmade resin spoon pendant back in September. Erin is presenting yet another giveaway and her concept is creative as the last. You can win a $25 gift certificate toward any of Erin Gursslin items at sunshynesilverwear.com. Just visit her blog post to learn how you can win, click this link to play.

For those of you who are into Pinterest you would be insane to pass this up. I have yet to explore Pinterest, as I am quite afraid it may swallow me alive. May the best win!

I <3 Blogs, To Name a Few…

Jan 232012
 

I love reading Blogs, Let’s start with RNEST. Why do I love this blog? Check out today’s tutorial on Single Shot Screenprinting by Alli Push and tell me you don’t want to try this like now! Also, be sure to peek at Allie’s Etsy shop, Soft Shell Crafts.

Make it Mondays : Single Shot Screenprinting

Parenting, Illustrated With Crappy Pictures. Now this is my absolute favorite blog! I only wish I could be this witty and funny. Not a single post has gone unread. Not since Jason introduced me to it six months ago. Amber has had me laughing at the top of my lungs. She has tugged my heart strings so hard I’ve cried.

I did these things as a kid (but my kids won't)

Rochester Artisans is my latest find. I’ve gathered some wonderful information from this group. If you’re a local artist, I highly recommend it to you. I finally got to meet the blog Empress, Stefani Tadio just yesterday at a gathering called With Love From Friends. I made valentines for the elderly and chatted with a lively group of women. (George, if your reading I know you certainly are not a female, although you do have a gentle quality about you). Also, thank you Katy for joining me, you are the best friend a girl could have. (Tracy, no worries, I feel the same for you too).

George, Katy, and Tracy are most likely NOT reading this. Oh bother.

With Love From Friends

Tangerine Tango Polka Dot Large Hole Beads

Jan 182012
 

Tangerine Tango is color of the year and I happened to order a color a few months ago the fits the bill. I absolutely love orange, you will find me dressed in it at least once a week.

“Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “Reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy.”

Here are a couple Tangerine Tango Large Hole Polkadot beads. So far they come in glacier blue and violet, but you can always contact me for a special request.

Available for sale via my Etsy shop.

Lucas Has Balance

Jan 142012
 

Lucas has been walking since December. Walking is becoming his main form of transportation, although he still likes the one legged scoot.

P.S.

The whole family has been sick. It started when Lucas came down with the runs last week. He appears to be fully recovered as of yesterday. Thursday I fell ill while at the Hungerford, not a pretty story. I laid on the floor for a good while before I could get myself together and out of there. Then later that Thursday night Jason woke me up barfing like a thunderstorm. Come to find out his sister and brother both had been spending time with their toilets that same night! Very strange coincidence. I have made a quick recovery, but Jason is still very achy.

If you are also sick out there like I hear everyone is. Rest up my friend!
