New Friends, New Earrings!

I made friends with two awesome jewelry designers last weekend at a vendor show I did. Naturally, I had to buy some of their treasures. First, Christina Bracale-amazing, mother of three boys and entrepreneur!- of Little Trend Setters custom made these beauties for me:
        

Cool, huh? I love them.

Then there's my new Etsy Guru, Janice, of  Destiny's Creations. Are these not gorgeous? I had a hard time choosing from all of her beautiful creations.

Check these ladies out. They are two beautiful women, inside and out, with beautiful jewelry.

Time Keeps on Slippin'

Wow, Daylight Savings is killing me this year! It's been two days and I still haven't adjusted. I'm exhausted and feel like I'm in a time warp. Whooped and Warped. That's me. It'll be nice to have it stay lighter longer. Maybe since my body clock's still on old time I can train myself to get up earlier in the morning (uh, yeah, good luck with that...).

NATIONAL CRAFT MONTH

For those of you who don't know, March is officially National Craft Month. Yay! Lots of sales and celebrations to honor it. What are you doing to celebrate your creativity? I'm trying out some new products, Adirondack Paint Dabbers, Chipboard Letters, and Grafix Rub-Onz. I'll be using them to make a sign for the MSD Design Studio. Can't wait. I'll post photos and feedback on my new products.
March is also National Women's History Month. I'm challinging myself to develop a project to combine the two-celebrate creativity and honor women of the past. Hmmm....

P.S. Are these ribbons gorgeous or what? $1 bin at Michaels.

Happy Valentine's Day, One and All!! Hope your days are filled with Love, Peace, and Romance.

Spring Fever? Yes, Please!

I’m getting psyched for spring! Once Christmas is over, I’m done w/winter. I recently was inspired (by Tara Frey of Bella Pink) to go to Homegoods, and I must say, I hit the spring décor mother lode ! I stocked up on eggs and nests-my favorite spring design elements. I love filling up bowls and vessels full of eggs, and tucking little nests here and there. And God knows I can’t get enough of my new favorite color-Robin’s Egg Blue.

The New Year

We're starting off the new year, like everyone, with several goals in mind...
First, and always, ORGANIZE THE STUDIO!
Second, keep blog,etsy shop, and cafepress shop UPDATED!
Third, the mantra for the year (personally and professionally): TAKE JOY!
