Very long time since my last post!
My son is turning 2 in October, so i am getting ready for a birthday get together
My husband found out he was doing another tour in Afghanistan
And i have been swamped with orders.
I just finished all my order, other than my new one that is a photo touch-up.
I really enjoy doing those. I will make sure to post the before and after once i have them finished.
I have started selling collage sheets. I don't know how well they will go over, but i thought i would try it out! You can see them here --> Collage Sheets
I have started my Christmas shopping. I have bought my mom some great earrings from Glitterbug Originals. I just LOVE her shop. Make sure to check out her shop! You will love the earrings too!
I also have bought Incense from CraftySteph for stocking stuffers and to add the extra touch to the gift wrapping! Her prices are just right and her product are beyond perfect.
We are doing my son's birthday in a Thomas the Train theme. I have ordered all the decorations and even had a shirt made by Peanut's Boutique for him to wear on his birthday. My parents are buying him this cute tricycle & we have bought him a large assortments of Thomas the Trains. He is going to be in heaven!
Well that is whats going on with me and my family.
Thank you for reading and make sure to check out these cool shops!

New look
I wanted a little more room for my posts.
I will still be showcasing items, but you will see them at the end of the post. Instead of listing bunches of pictures, i will have the "showcasee" make me a "mini Etsy" to place at the bottom of the page.
I will still pick etsy shops at random from the comment sections. So if you want to be showcased, make sure to comment!
I really don't have much to talk about. So i will cut this post short and list a picture i have as my desktop!
Thanks for reading!

Busy week and a new computer!
Well now onto my banners!
Now onto Showcasing!

Busy Week
The first 2 banners were my personal favorites. I really liked the paw print background in those. But I try to give at least 3 to 4 samples to get started on. So after many flips thru her store I got the idea for banner #3. For the idea of banner #4, she had told me she liked Midnight Gypsy's banner. Which i made from vintage pictures. So I pulled out my vintage pictures and created banner #4.
But we started off on the same page from the get go! She liked banner #2, but she wanted a little more color to it. So what you ask is what you get.

Starry Night Earrings
These earrings have everything I would want in a pair. Labradoite & Sapphire. Strung on sterling silver and hung beneath a Lapis Lazuli.
I have always love the stone labradorit. Its a lovely shade of grey but when hit with light shimmers shades of blue. Sapphire is my birthstone, and Lapis is your blue jeans best friends.
These earring are breathtakingly beautiful and maybe with some persuasion with my hubby, I'm hoping to buy them.
But with this blog post maybe I can promote this talented jewelry maker.
Please check her out here!!
The one thing I have noticed since i started my new shop on Etsy was the amount of talented jewelry makers! And so many of them are over looked. Sad really. I think there are more jewelry makers on Etsy than there are any other artisan. I really don't know if that is because jewelry is easy to get into or what. But below are a few shops that i would like you to check out!
The 1st picture is from Angelique's Boutique
The 2nd picture is from Diffraction
The 3rd picture is from Midnight Gypsy
Now for a list! Please take out to check them out too!

Baylli's Jewelry Boutique
I am very sorry that i didn't post on the 28th like i said i would. For some reason my little blog was flagged as spam! How that happened i really don't know. So i had to wait before i could even post anything!
But anyway...
I wanted to talk about my past banners i have made. I am going to start out with Baylli 's Jewelry Boutique. She had contacted me wanting 2 banners and 2 avatars. One banner and avatar for when she is having a sale and the other 2 for her main shop front. For this post i will only be talking about the main store front banner. She told me she wanted something "pretty" like out of a magazine. So with that i dove right into her banners. ( I love making banners!)

The First Post
I started this blog because one of my clients asked me if i had one. The another client asked if i do custom blog designs. So in a round about way I started this for my clients. That's a good thing right? :)
Before I started this blog, I completely redesigned my etsy shop. From the banner all the way down to the thank you image, and this blog layout(which i had to teach myself). I think it looks a lot better than the basic black & white that i started with. I wanted a vintage flair to it...but the 1st 2 designs just didn't pan out. But I'm really happy with this outcome.
So how about i tell you a little about myself?
I am a mother of 1 son. He was born back in October of 2006. I can't believe he turns 2 soon!
I am married to my high school sweetheart. We got married in 2001. I love cats! I have 5 of them. Marvin, Kit Kit, FunnyFace, Tort, & Gabby. I really do love cats! Well i can't think of anything else to add to this...
so onto the next topic.
I was wanting to talk about my banners i make for people here, they get noticed and you see what I'm doing. Starting tomorrow, i will start telling you about my past banners i have made.
Well i am going to call it a night now.
Hope you liked this 1st post!
