Now onto other fun stuff!!! 'Tis the Season for Showers, and let me tell you...I've been around. I decided to make collages of the last four I've attended. This first Shower,below, I had the pleasure of helping with the decorating. Not my house, but you'll recognize my collection of birdcages. : )
I loaned out of few of my cages for this one, too. Don't you LOVE the paper bird mobile? BEAUTIFUL job, Kelsey!!!
Another Wedding...
Another baby. : )
I'm so happy my birdcages have made the rounds. It makes my addiction a lot less guilt-provoking!!

A Grand Experiment of Epic Proportion!

Well...I can honestly say, without loosing any sleep at night, that when I started plotting my 100th post Giveaway celebration, I was not contemplating opening an Etsy Shop. However, I think I've decided to take that leap of faith and try it.

Over the course of the year that I've been blogging, I've had more than one person ask, "When [was I] going to sell on Etsy?". My response was always the same...my time is very limited and I'm not sure how much time I can devote to it. However, after looking into it a bit, I see that one of the beauties of Etsy is that you sell at your own pace. The world doesn't end if you run out of inventory for a week or two.

So, my good friends, I think I will kick off my Etsy "experiment" the day of my 100th Post Celebration and Giveaway. And now that I've posted this, it brings us one post closer to the big event. : )

P.S. And please don't worry...I won't make you do anything crazy to enter my Giveaway. Just plain-old leave one comment (when I get to my 100th). Happy Wednesday to all! : )

92nd Post and how the Giveaway Voting is going so far

BUT FIRST...I give you my version of the Tin "Can-Can" Girl. : )
Have you ever had one of those projects that you thought would be simple and quick, but you just couldn't stop at "simple" and just kept going...and going...and going???
My inspiration: Julie Haymaker Thompson. One of the most amazing artists out there!
Every little feature that was suppose to be simple, turned out to be the opposite, because these little light bulbs just kept going off in my head.
However, I have no regrets because I'm very happy with the way she turned out. I even cut those dowel legs, covered them with paper, and drilled holes in them so they would dangle.
I got the button for her hat at Goodwill. However, it was attached to a "very interesting" pant suit. Just for fun, I offered the "very interesting" pant suit to Sara before cutting the buttons off. She said, "No thanks Mom", in case you were wondering. : )
Teeny tiny grapes came from Goodwill too. LOVE that Store.




Okay, onto how the voting is coming along. So far, as I said yesterday, the white pumpkin head on a box is in first place.
Next in the running is the Eiffel Tower necklace:

And third, is the Ballerina Box:

So unless the voting changes things a lot, this is going to be it. If some of you are just now coming over, you can see all 12 items to vote on in yesterday's post. Thanks for being such good sports, this has been fun!
