Wow, two posts in one day; I'm on a roll. I wanted to mention that I've been fortunate enough to have my shop chosen to be featured on two blogs that are helping promote talented and creative shops on etsy. The first is http://degdieblog.blogspot.com/ - she has such a great style and her blog is just as cute. Check out Ana Luisa's etsy shop, http://degdie.etsy.com/ and see the great cupcake girl bookmarks, for only $2.00 you can have a pdf file sent to you, all you do is print and cut. Super cute and fabulous!
...Gemma and Stacie V. - thanks for taking the time to visit my shop and congrats on being this week's Dotty winners at onthedotcreations.typepad.com. Gemma's favorite item is the Fun Texts and Hearts Card; which is a groovy, colorful and stylish card that anyone would love to get on Valentine's Day or any day for that matter. Stacie V. liked my Apple Tree Magnet the best and I can't blame her, it's bright and fun and would look great on the fridge or in an office space at work. Thanks again ladies for checking out my shop! I'll definitely be looking to do more giveaway's in the future, this one was a lot of fun and I loved reading all the comments & learning which items were fav's.
I'm very excited about this, I'm in a blog giveaway on one of my favorite blogs; http://www.onthedotcreations.typepad.com. What do you have to do? Go to my etsy shop, find your favorite item; I know it's hard cause' everything is so darn cute - now go back to Julie's blog, find the section with my giveaway and comment on your favorite item from my shop. She will be taking comments till Saturday Feb 7th at 6 p.m. Good luck, there will be two different sets of quilled products given away. Each set has 2 cards with envelopes, 2 notecards with envelopes and an adorable scalloped polka dot tag.
I'm a member of the etsy paper twirlies team, every month we've been trying to have a contest where we submit something we've created based on the theme; this month's theme is Valentine's Day - which I just love. I've been trying to figure out what I wanted to do and I usually try to do something different, so I looked through all my stuff and found a wood photo block I bought in November or so. It was for Christmas, it had outlines to paint in on each side of a small Christmas scene, I knew I wasn't going to keep those so I just painted over all that. I quilled a bunch of hearts in pink/red colors and glued them all around the cube. I then took the same lavendar color, added a little white and painted dots all over it; to make it shiny I painted over the block area's with watered down Modge Podge. Once dried, I used clear/white glitter glue and put that over the lightened color dots. Added a doubled pink organza bow and voila - my january entry. I love the colors and the simplicity of the whole thing, may keep this one for myself. I only bought one photo block from Michael's and now I'm wishing I had bought more. I'm going to get on the internet and see where I can buy more, I really like the way it turned out and think they are a good idea for both shops and any craft fairs I do this year - if I do any.
I'm tired so this will be a short post, I stayed up way too late last night working on the snowflake cards and watching Nip/Tuck; love that show but why did I have to stay up - it ended at 12:12 a.m. and I have to wake up at 5:20 a.m. to get ready for work before waking the rascals; so I'm very tired tonight.
I just wanted to show what I'm currently working on, I've mentioned the Christmas table name cards and here they are (the icons at least) - cute huh? I'm almost done then I'm moving on to Thanksgiving table name cards with cornucopia's - I've never created that before so it will be a challenge but I'm excited about it. I've seen some other cornucopia's and honestly I wasn't too thrilled with them so let's see how I can do. I'll post later once I'm working on those.

Don't you want to know which shop items were winners too....after going back and reading all 39 comments there are 3 items from my shop that received the most votes - 4 each, and those winners are: XOXO Lovebirds Frame, Roses Keepsake Box and Note Card and Tags Set. Interesting, and neat to know.
