Hello World,
I finally bought myself a Nikon D5100, and no longer will be taking photos for the blog with my phone! 🙂 My first task with my new camera was to take photos of all my handmade accessories, so I can get my Etsy shop back up and running.
Here are some sneak peeks of what will be hitting Etsy soon. I just need to finish all the product descriptions.
 Happy crafting!
Hello World,
Last weekend, I went to a friend’s wedding in Northern Idaho. I wrapped their gift in kraft paper, hemp twine and topped with live herbs/flowers. I bought a pack of tags two years ago at Office Depot, and finally found a reason to use one!
I used a thin sharpie to draw out the “Eat, drink, and be married” design, and sprayed the entire package with gold glitter to add some minimalistic pizazz. At first I topped the gift with fresh oregano from my yard, but it wilted very quickly. Right before leaving for the wedding I switched the oregano out for wild daisies.
I only snapped a few photos of the wedding decorations before it got too dark. Luckily, I did snap a photo of cupcakes in the armoire; very clever.
Happy Crafting!
Hello World,
I would like to introduce you to one of my Kappa sisters and a fellow blogger, Karissa. She blogs over at “Start of The Shaw’s,” a lifestyle blog.
She posts multiple times per week, and my favorite reads include her “What I Wore Wednesdays” and her “Making our House a Home Series.” I recently started a job where I have to dress business-casual, and her Wednesday posts have helped me to see what is cute, yet appropriate, for a business setting.
Being a die-hard, DIY-girl, I love reading about anything thrifty and innovative. Karissa is great at revamping the old into something new. In one of her recent blog posts, she repurposes a vintage door into a headboard:
Clever huh? See how she did it here: link.
Also, in the title I mentioned a freebie. If you head over to Karissa’s latest post here, you can enter yourself into a giveaway for two custom bracelets (like the ones above), made by yours truly. The giveaway ends in 5 days, so be sure to head over to her blog and enter.
Happy Crafting!
