{on ETSY}


so i was blog browsing a bit tonite & landed on etsy...i knew about it, but really haven't bothered to look thru it, as I can sew & make just about anything...i know, bragging isn't attractive, but i really liked a few things that weren't "sewn" rather knitted or handmade jewlery.... i really liked this "cross my heart wrap" in the above pic. how cute is that??? V-E-R-Y !!!

{update: i made the banner...}



so, i made the halloween banner i had found last year on this blog. it was easy to make & i think i will make smaller ones for other occasions & hang them by the front door. i did feel it was nice to have a banner that was homemade versus a cheesy store bought one, but who has the time to make one, everytime? i actually ran out of time looking for black beads & black tulle, so it's not decorated as much as the sample one. i got lots of compliments, as it was something a bit different. that's my goal always, for it to be unique & a little different than the norm. anyway, i had fun making it & will make a cute mini one for Christmas for the front entrance, if i have the time!!!

{pillow, anyone?}



...i'm on a sharing streak tonite! (killing some time before i have to run around & pick up kids, etc) i just found the most ridiculously cute pillow....check it out here ! not sure if i'll get it, it's only "starting at $134 dollars"... seriously , who would pay such a ridiculous amount of money...I predict you will see replicas of this in the near future~ yup, i'm psychic ~

{please be mine!}



okay, that didn't take me long! i just found something i want for Christmas, for all those of you that have me on your list, all 3 people who read my pathetic blog! hahahaha, so here it is! the Butler Bag! Oh my goodness, I almost fell off my chair, I love an organized bag & I am continously cleaning mine out of clutter, oh, this is fabulous!!! let me go back & look at it {and drool}...

I just added the red one, oh my, i'm in love!

{gift giving}


...at least just thinking about it! I have this problem, I think about really cool things for people on my list throughout the year & then I either forget or they get the item before Christmas. So I was looking for inspiration online and went to one of the first places I went to when the internet first started....I was watching Oprah's first ever "Oprah's favorite things giveaway" episode (when I used to watch Oprah!) anyhow, it was Red Envelope....they are so cool, they wrap all the presents in red boxes with a beautiful ivory grosgrain ribbon...ahhhh! beautiful! sidenote: One year I wrapped all my presents ( except kiddie ones) in Kraft paper with raffia, it was awesome! I must do that again!) Anyhow, there's also gifts.com for ideas...well, I'm stuck on what to get for a few people, so I better keep looking for some cool & unique ideas! Best of luck with your shopping!!!
