Old is New!

I confess, I've been a blogging and Etsy shop slacker. I finally got a few things photographed and in the shop. I know this sounds like it should be easy, but somehow it seemed harder than quadratic equations. Mostly because I'm never home when natural light is available for shooting pics. I'm hoping to add a bunch more items over the next week since I'm on VACATION! I'll be sunning myself in the dining room via the window and noshing on no-name snacks at the Schroeder chalet in St. Lou. I'm actually pretty excited, there will be turkey on Thursday (thank you Mr. Turkey!) and my pal, Janelle, has promised me homemade cupcakes this week. Yes people, I get excited about food that's baked in an oven. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everybody, may your gravy bowl never be empty and your list of thanks be lengthy!

Vintage-palooza!

Here's a sneak peak at what's headed to my Etsy shop. Except maybe that pink vase...

High on Crafts

I am high on crafts and positively worn out. What a great weekend with some of my favorite people on the planet. Crafty kids, y'all rock my socks off! Artropy was such a blast and I got to see some of my favorite customers and catch up with my Show Me Etsy girls. Renee and I even squeezed in a little dancin'. Sunday I did my shift at Big Ass and had a freaking fantastic time. Thanks a heap to the Big Ass crew for all your hard work and to The Mafia Family for being my favorite relatives and 100% hysterical.

I'll be taking a smidge of break and catching up on some family time with the kiddo (Senorita Cranky Pants) who is feeling oh-so-poopy from being sick. We both have been battling some sort of germie crud for the last week. I'm feeling a bit better, but my Boo isn't improving much. She's going to get some face time with the doc today and hopefully a big fat bottle of antibiotics.

I'm sure she's not too sick to put together a whopper Christmas list. I'll be hitting the dreaded mall soon. It seems that teenagers don't appreciate handmade the way I do. I'm hoping for a 100% handmade holiday and she's hoping for a 100% all designer label bash. We might have to split the difference.

So, I've been thinking...I do a lot of crafty projects and I'm pretty good with a camera, I could probably throw up a tutorial now and again. Any special requests?

I hope you are all having a FANTASTIC holiday season and get to squeeze some R&R in soon if you haven't already. Big giant bear hugs to you all!
