Myrtle Beach bound & an early Easter.

This evening my friend of almost 20 years, Amanda and I will be heading South to Myrtle Beach for a little R&R. The sad thing is-we will only be there for 2 whole days and 2 nights. It better be worth it! I know we will be doing a lot of dancing so keep and eye out for those photos! Lots of fun!! Until then, my lovely mother gave me my Easter gifts early. Not that I was even expecting anything since I don't really celebrate Easter for the gifts or the bunnies or whatever. Easter to me is the celebration of Jesus raising from the dead to prove that He has overcome the world. Yay!

However, this is what my mom gave to me this morning:

She's just too cute and practical. She gave me some embroidery thread! Score!

MMM Chocolate! I totally already ate some this morning. Haha. Whoops. Thanks Mom!

So tonight I will be on my way to the beach! I probably won't post for a couple of days but don't forget to get instant updates on twitter!


Just for fun check out this cute outfit!

I just love lace!

Also don't forget to bid on your favorite items at Upcycled by Ash!

Upcoming: Online Auction & Indie Garage Sale

Ello my loves.

This morning I attended church with my dad! Sadly our current pastor is leaving soon, he is a really great man with a wonderful sense of humor so it's really sad to see him go.

The rest of this day I am planning on just relaxing which will be very nice.
I don't remember if I told you in previous posts but as a recap - I donated some items to Upcycled by Ash for the online auction she is hosting to benefit the National Wildlife Federation. She received them yesterday and I think she's pretty pleased!

This is what I donated:

All fabrics are secondhand or thrifted. For all items the total comes to $49.50. Not too shabby I don't think. I am so excited to participate in this online auction, I hope it does well!! I will surely keep you updated on that.

Also, don't forget, this weekend, April 16th is the Indie Garage Sale from 11AM-7PM!!

I hope you all enjoy the rest of the day!! Find me on twitter!

I really love my new jacket! And the sun!

Upcoming Events!

Good morning all!

This month (April) is full of various events/happenings. I have craft shows almost every weekend, my friend and I are going to Myrtle Beach for a mini vacation, and I am donating a bag and some accessories to Upcycled by Ash. She is planning an online auction to benefit the National Wildlife Federation. I am so excited about this cause! I love animals and anything I can do to help is worth it. I have thought about donating some of the money I make from selling my goods to local shelters and I'm sure I will figure out how to go about that soon. Until then, I am happy to help out such a good cause! Ash has a really great blog about many important issues and I for one truly enjoy reading what she has to say! Not to mention the upcycled items she makes are soooo amazing!!!

This weekend I have the craft show in Schenectady, NY and I hope to see some of you out there!!

April is full of lost of business but I know it's going to be great!

Now I'm off to finish packing for the show but I will leave you with my attempt at an artsy photo of one of my products.

Just for fun.
