Awesome gifts + craftiness

Sorry this is kind of a Christmas post and it is way not Christmas time. But I had been meaning to do it for a while. Michael and I have decided that, in our family, we are going to exchange three and only three gifts at Christmas (even when children come into the picture) to symbolize the three gifts Jesus was given. Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. Not only would we do that, but being artistic people, we would decorate them to match! Since two of them are liquid, they don't really "look" like anything, so that means we had to get creative! Here are the ones I did that I gave to Michael:

ETSY!

Hey everyone...just wanted to let you know that I now have an Etsy shop up and running (only about 2 years in the making. lol). Here is the link:

So now, any purchases need to be done through Etsy! I am pretty excited. I keep checking the page to see how many views they get ;-)

My Creative Space

Sorry it has been so long. My time has been filled with family and holidays...but now it is back to business! One thing I am so incredibly thankful for is my craft studio. My husband was generous enough to allow me to have an entire room devoted to my crafting endeavors. I thought I would give yall a little glimpse!

Wall 1: shelves of all my "machines" :-) (Cricut, laminator, typewriter, etc)

 Wall 2: My dog, for some odd reason, cries and whines if we try and put his crate anywhere besides my craft room. So I got creative and put a top on it and made some table/work space.

 The business side of things.

 Wall 3: My table space. Computer on the right and TV on the left.

Wall 4: All of my supplies organized into their labeled containers including (but not limited to. lol): yarn, projects in progress, fabric, gift wrapping supplies, craft books/magazine, paper, Cricut supplies, knick knacks, sewing supplies, etc.

Baby Blankets - $20

I know I know..I keep widening my array of crafts :-) ...well it now includes crochet! I just can't help the urge to always be learning something new. These are baby blankets measuring about 2.5 square feet. I have the blanket shown above done and ready to ship....but I can do a custom order in any color (1 or two colors). Just imagine your little bundle of joy wrapped in one of these!

Remember: Shipping is not included in price. If you are interested in purchasing an item, just leave a comment on the post and I will get back to you!
