Blog Features !

Normally by now I have posted a new frugal craft project, but to be honest time got away from me this week and I didn't finish my project.  I'm getting ready to open a new Etsy shop in the next couple of months selling vintage jewelry, findings & beads and more of my great flea market and estate sale treasures!  I'm really excited about this new little shop and pretty much got all wrapped-up in it this week.

But.... on another good note I'm feeling a lot of blog love this week having my blog and Etsy shop featured on tow separate blogs this week.  I'm truly honored and thrilled!

Kelsey over at Poofy Cheeks is doing a crafting space series and featured my new Shabby Chic crafty space this week!  I hop you pop over and give my little feature some love and if you have a crafting space that you'd like to share please contact her.

And then over at Home Spun with Love Kristen featured my blog and several of my favorite craft projects, and my litte Etsy Jewelry shop!

I hope you stop by to visit both of their crafty fun blogs.

Oh... and don't forget to make a comment to enter the Bead Knead Gift Certificate Giveaway, last day to enter is this coming Wednesday.

Gift Certificate Giveaway from BeadKnead!

I have a wonderful new Giveaway this week!!!!  As you've probably guessed I love..... beads, and all sorts of beads!  And lucky for me I have a wonderful Etsy friend who has a beautiful bead shop - BeadKnead and luckily for one of my readers she is offering a $10.00 Gift Certificate to her shop,which is good until June 1, 2012.

                             

   

Here is a little about her and her shop:

I believe that life is all about how we handle plan B as in BEADS and BAUBLES.  So I trusted my crazy idea of wish, hope and dream and took a chance.  This is where BeadKnead became a reality.  I took Plan B and made it happen.  Welcome to my world of Czech glass beads, gemstones and of course baubles.  No matter what;  I believed in myself and my passion to do it with enthusiasm.  I was taught to embrace change and expect miracles.  I see the beauty of art in everything around me.  I always seem to be amazed at the exploding brilliance on the facets of fine cut beads and stones or the rainbowed palet of their remarkable color; and can never seem to get enough of it.  I look for new trends, colors and textures in the glass bead business to bring you, my customer the best the industry has to offer.  In the end trusting my heart the becoming of BeadKnead was the smartest thing I have ever done.  Here friendships and relationships have been born and created.  Thank You for stopping by, hopefully in my shop you too can fill your need to create.

This giveaway will run Feb. 7 - 14th!

lulu lang

Introducing my friend and Etsy Forget Me Nots Daily Discoveries  Teammate, lulu lang! I adore her shop featuring handmade cards, invitations, gift tags & paper crafts. Her work is so hip (I think I may be telling my true age using that term) creative and fresh!

In celebration of her Year Anniversary on Etsy she is holding a Giveaway starting tomorrow, One lucky winner will receive 6 cards and 6 gift tags valued at $25.00, check out her Blog for more details!

Here's her wonderful story:

My name is Tracy and I run a little Etsy shop called Lulu Lang, where I create and sell handmade cards, invitations, gift tags, stationary and paper crafts. I live in the just outside of Toronto, Ontario where you can usually find me crafting away and pursuing my dream of some day running my shop as my full time job. I joined Etsy only a year ago, and love the opportunity it has given me to sell to customers worldwide.

I started making cards about 8 years ago as a hobby, but last year I decided to take the plunge and see if I could actually be successful at doing what I love to do. So far, this adventure has been a big learning experience, but I am having tons of fun and I have met some wonderful artists on Etsy who are also doing following their hearts and dreams. I love seeing the smiles on people’s faces when the open one of my cards. I know they appreciate a handmade card more than any store bought one, and it is what keeps me doing what I love to do.
 

 

There is just something about paper that gets me excited. There are so many different textures, colours and patterns and there are so many different things you can do with it that it never gets boring. I admit, I am a paper addict, but ribbon, stamps, embossing powders and gorgeous little embellishments also put a smile on my face. I have so many ideas spinning around in my head that my hands can’t keep up with all the crafting.

You can find me on Etsy, Facebook, Twitter and my Blog.   I hope you take a minute to stop by, and don’t be shy to say hello!
