Sarah's Valentine

I just started the "creative everyday" group, and in honor of it, I decided to post a valentine I made for my friend Sarah. Well, its more like a Valentine's Day box. But, its full of goodies that Im sure will make her smile..

Here is me just starting to decorate...


Here is all of the items completed, ready to be stuffed..


I even included some inspiration, some bits of paper and buttons and such to make her "Get Crafty!"


Box is stuffed and ready to be brought to the post office...

A late Friday night

I thought I would share with all of you my night last night. My husband had a late class, and since our second car got rear-ended, we still havent replaced it and so I was stuck in the house without a car while he was at his class. But, I think it was good, because I got a lot of things accomplished. I did a lot of crafting and made some new cards.




I even posted the cat cards, lovingly named Molly, in my etsy shop. I had a lot of time on my hands.

i even did some dishes and when I was done, I noticed that they were strangly coordinated in color. I took a pic of these for you as well..



Oh! And I took a picture of my new sock kitty I recently purchased from etsy by a seller named hapiness. See her shop here at www.hapiness.etsy.com.

Happy things for happy people. Her creations are so cute! Oh yeah, the sock kitty...I have a pic of him too...



Isnt he the best? I havent named him yet...any ideas?

SO then, when I was done with all of this, I spent some time on the ol' PC. Checking etsy, flickr, etc. My cat, Nougat wasnt happy with me, since I wasnt cuddling with her instead....


But, she got over it I think. That was my night. My husband then came home, and he made me watch the movie 300. It was gruesome. Such a man's movie.

All for now!

Some Heart

Thanks to one of my dearest blogs, iHanna, http://www.ihanna.nu/blog/ I have been inspired to add some heart to my blog everyday. So here is goes, day one.

Hmm. This is tougher than I thought.

Well, to start, I would like to share a photograph of one of the best days of my life...



Thats me and my new husband. You will have to bear with me, I just got married in September, so I am still in lala land when it comes to my wedding. It was a wonderful day.

There. I think that shares some heart for today!

All for now.

New Pics, Same Nothingness

These are some new cards that I made yesterday, and posted this morning. I tried to promote them this morning, with no avail. A couple more looks, but no sales. Well, it is still just my first week I guess, so I wont get dis-heartened. Wait, I already am. Well, I will try not to let it get worse. I just need to start creating something else, and then I will get excited again.

I took the day off from work today. I work up feelign anxious and just not so hot, so I decided to listen to my body for once and let myself relax. So this is how I relax I guess...:)

There are some new things that have been knocking around in my brain lately that I think I will work with today though, so that will be good. Im thinking about making somesort of card organizer. I know you have seen them around. Its not a new idea, but a handmade one would be cool, all scrapbooky and stuff. I will fool around with it. I have to have something to put on my 365 crafting group in flickr anyway! I guess I will get working. :)

All for now!

Above is a new item I posted on etsy. I was weirdly awake last night, so I crafted until 12:30 PM (in case you dont know me, that is extremly late!).

So, after a late night, I had trouble waking up to go to church, but it was worth it. I think the cards came out nicely. Church was good this morning, then I stopped by the craft store to get some more supplies....:)

And now I am here, checking my shop, etc. Below is todays posting for my 365 crafting flickr group:


Its hanging on my wall now, and I am very proud of it. It was one of those things that I wasnt sure how I wanted it to look, I just kind of took it as it went. I think it went well....What are your thoughts?

All for now!

My Etsy Shop

As you can see from the banners on the side of this blog, I am on etsy.com. It is a new endevour though, and I am working very hard. I hope it pays off. I really love doing my art work, and I would love it if someone else got enjoyment out of it too! Here's a pic I just posted on flickr of a baby shower gift I made for my friend today....

Rough Day

I'm having a rough day today. I work as a secretary at my church for the 5 pastors we have here. I offered to do a coffee run for them all, really just for the brownie points, and so when I got there they were so mean and rude. They made it quite clear that I was an inconveniece to them, and it made me feel crappy. So much for wanting to get brownie points.....

Anyway, on a brighter note, here is one of my favorite pictures that I took while on my honeymoon to Halifax, Nova Scotia.



There are more of my pics from our trip on my flikr page, www.flickr.com, people search megangoodell.

Thats all for now....
