Craftster Silly Swap

I have quite a few swaps going on right now in the Craftster.org community but there is a special one where you just make something and then post the pick. We then have two days to use up five claims per person to try and get the item we want the most. There are a lot of great offerings already and what I've done is created an Earring Extravaganza!

Stayed up all night

I did it again! I stayed up all night because I was in the crafting "zone". At least I have a to show for it. I'll post a couple of pics later when I put some stuff on Etsy.

Etsy Purchase

I spend a lot of time on Etsy. I like to browse and see all of the beautiful things I can't afford and get inspiration for handmade products I'd like to try out. I realized after putting my first creations up for sale, that I've never bought anything from anyone on Etsy. So here I went searching, and searching, and searching. My goal was to spend less than $10 yet get something that I felt was the quality of $100. I'm not saying this was hard to do, quite the opposite. I found plenty that I wanted but needed to narrow it down after about 8 hours of searching. I finally decided on a pair of earrings, ok, and a necklace. The shop that I bought them from is having a sale of free shipping and a free surprise item. My purchase came to exactly $10 and I'm ecstatic about getting it. I encourage you all to check out her shop for some gorgeous jewelry!

Finally!

I've finally got some stuff to list on Etsy and my website. I'm so excited. I'm listing it tonight. Just a few things to start off with.

Hope to see you there!

Action shots!

My first craft swap

My first craft swap if finally done and I received the most amazing package!!!

Happy New Year!

Well, we got a foot of snow over night so I guess that means I'm not going anywhere for awhile. Some people would look at that as bad but I'm thinking "yay! more time for crafts!".
