You Are My Sunshine!

My blog received the Sunshine Award! Isn't that sweet?

Thank you so much Illeana!

Check out this beautiful pendant of hers:

In honor of the occasion I thought I'd do a treasury of team mates

in a Sunshine/Summer theme! These items are taken from the

Etsy Bead Weavers (search ebw team) and the Etsy Bloggers

(search etsy bloggers). I'm pretty sure most or all of them have blogs,

so if your in this treasury - consider your self nominated for the award!

Is this the lazy way? Maybe...but I'm having fun :P

Party Time!

You know how I recently did a series on my Pluggers United Team? Well, I had so much fun featuring my team mates that I decided I need to do the same for the Etsy Bloggers! Now this is a HUGE team, so I'm going to break it up a bit and do themes instead of simply featuring the artists, because I can! I have the lastest team list - and I'll be crossing off as I go - so I hope you have as much fun with this as I do!

Today's theme is party time! We're drawing near to New Years Eve, and while I will probably be at home being boring that night, I know that YOU guys are probably going to party! So here's some awesome finds for your parties :)

Here's some adorable tags you can tie onto party favors!



About some fortune cookies - with a bit of a twist?



These nifty coasters slide onto the bottom of your wine glasses,
so they move around the room with you!



Can't you just see yourself wearing these to a posh party?



Hey - even your fridge can be in style for the party with these magnets!

Thankful for Friends :)

This last year has been a wild ride! I've learned a lot about running a jewelry business, and operating on etsy, but the best part is, I've made some awesome friends! So my Thanksgiving tribute is to some of the people who've taught me encouraged me, and a just been there for me in the last year as I've been through this wild ride that's called life :)

Anne of LeatherMadeNice may very well have been the first person that I met on etsy, I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure she was.  She's adopted me :P I can't tell you how many e-mails have flown back and forth between the two of us, and how many times she's been able to say just what I needed to hear to cheer me up! I have a version of this bracelet and I LOVE it!

Lauren of The Chain Maille Lady was one of the first people that I got to know on etsy.  She did a lot to encourage me and keep me going as I got started! I'm really excited to say that I get to interview her when I start co-hosting the Thursday Spotlight on Artisan radio show!

Jeanna of Gecko Jewelry is one of the very few etsians that I've actually known in person!  Before I moved back to my home town, we both lived up north, and she was basically my mentor this last summer. I'm so thankful for all she taught me and all the opportunties that she provided me with!

Lily of Tulips Treasure Box is one of my fellow Etsy Bloggers team mates, and she's a treasure herself!  She's the one who first started calling me Rosey Posey, and I grin every time I read it! Lily has listened when I needed and understanding shoulder, and I'm really excited because we are going to be co-hosting the Thursday Spotlight on Artisan show!

Theresa of TiLT Creations is not only a wonderful artisan, she's also got a wacky sense of humor! I've had a ton of fun chatting with her via Twitter and she's been so awesome as to create some custom avatars for me!

Stormy of Stormy Designs (I know her real name, but I'm not telling!) is a hard working polymer clay artist with a gigantic heart! She's always helping her fellow team mates and she did the design work on my blog for me.  Isn't she awesome?

Terronda of Unique Commodities is someone I've just been getting to know lately - but every time we talk she brings a huge smile to my face! Her enthusiasm is contagious and her passion for her work and life are inspiring :)

There are so many other people that I'd love to thank! But this post is already getting far longer than normal. And I need to go back to packing  - today we're officially moving out of the place we've been house sitting for the last two months, and we're going to be staying in our new apartment from now on! So, if your one of my many friends I've made on etsy, and you know who you are, know that I love you and appreciate you :)

Want to know what else I'm thankful for? Check out what I said on my other blogs!

Thankful for Etsy.
Thankful for Family.

Tulips Treasure Box

I've been going through a hard time in this last year, and the friends that I've made on etsy have played a big part in helping me get through it all!  When I think of my friends on there, one person whose name always comes to mind is Lily, the artist behind Tulips Treasure Box.  I met Lily through etsy bloggers team and was instantly blessed by her ready wit and cheerful attitude.  As we began to talk more, she let me open up to her, and share some of my pain.  Having been through a lot herself, she often knew just what I needed to hear! Most recently she's had to deal with an emergency surgery.  So, as she heals, this is my way of saying thanks Lily.  Thank my friend for always listening, for making me laugh, for helping me to keep my head on straight, and for simply being my friend.  I hope and pray your recovery goes quickly!

Here are a few of my favorites from her shop :)  Go check it out, and buy something from her! I know that always cheers me up ;)
