The Newest Listings from my Shop

Hi, all!

I think you probably know but just in case you don't...I have got my own handmade gifts shop.  This is my shop link :http://www.etsy.com/shop/Specialhandmadegifts .

So, today I want to take a minute to show you my newest listings.

These are Earring Keepers.  They are handmade and designed so you can easily keep track of your earrings and backs.  The keepers can be set on a dresser or vanity etc. or hung on the wall either horizontally or vertically.  You can use these for dangle or post earrings.

• To make these Earring Keepers, I took 4 x 6" , wooden  picture frames and decoupaged them with very nice, high-quality cardstock.  A piece of sturdy, plastic mesh has been mounted in the center area and is perfect for inserting earring wires or posts. 

I think that these would be great for yourself or for a gift exchange .  So, try one out and ENJOY!!

Today's Tidbit:
    Here are 2 quotes from Ralph Waldo Emerson.  He says so much with so few words...

1.   What lies behind us and what lies before us are small  matters compared to what lies
       within us.
2.    For every minute you are angry you lose 60 seconds of happiness.

And here we go again...

Hello, my old friends and new ones alike.  I had forgotten how much work it was trying to get a shop, a blog, a website, facebook, twitter, etc.   all together, up and running, making it look easy.  I know that you know what I am talking about 'cause we've all been there.   Remember those early days, creating and reading like it was going out of style?   I must be a glutton for punishment, as they say, because I am right back in the middle of it - all over again.  lol.  I am loving every minute of it, I guess the excitement of it all makes you love it.  But I will be so glad when I get it all situated, and hopefully looking the way I hope it will look. 
I do hope that you will give us a peek.  I think we (my daughter and I) have some pretty cool stuff.    Yes, my daughter is in on this madness with me this time.   I have to admit, I think that we both are enjoying working together.  We can also work alone, and that's alright too.   Back to the cool stuff...we are making all sorts of cards, gift tags, party sets, scrapbook pages, etc.   We have the most awesome collection of the best quality cardstocks and papers around.  We also are going to continue with our wonderful tu-tu's.  Every little girl loves a tu-tu and should have one.  lol.   I love to watch a little girl putting on her tu-tu and seeing how it transforms her into a spinning, giggly, little fairy princess.  I haven't seen a little girl yet that doesn't like a tu-tu.  We are also making baby necessities like blankets, burp cloths, crib sets, etc.  They make wonderful shower gifts.   I am also enjoying making a ton of purses, totes, and zipper pouches.   More great gift ideas, or get yourself something nice.  Last but not least, we also will have lovely pillows and other little tidbits like bow hangers and  pierced earring holders.
So, please, come give us a look.   It will probably take another week before I have everything listed, but you must come see.   Thank you and look for me at your shop, too.
