I'm back!  How long has it been since I posted?  I always have good intentions about keeping my blog going, but it hasn't happened yet.

With this new year, I plan on trying harder!  I have a couple of posts planned that involve some crafting tips and diy fun.

On another note, I just found out that one of my items was featured on this sweet blog, Baby Blog UK.

Just Arrived - Pink Carnival Tickets

I always feel so happy to see my items featured somewhere else!  And is it just me, or does spring really make someone think about babies all the time?

I have been entirely remiss in keeping this blog up.  Part of the reason is my catching up on my other hobby, cross-stitching.  I've been working on these vintage-style roses that I mean to frame into embroidery hoops and give to my mom and mother-in-law for mother's day.  I'm not a very fast stitcher. 

However, I still find time to surf the net! 

I found this sweet little post on Before The Baby that features one of my stamped carnival ticket items.  I love the new Etsy feature which allows you to see where some visitors are clicking from.


I love making these tickets and using them on scrapbook layouts.  They are just the right size for embellishments and they're wonderful for layering behind photos.  Aren't they just cute?  I think they're also a fun additional into invitations.  Maybe do a raffle for the party?  If you would like to view more of my carnival tickets, visit my store ink & scissors.  Also, be sure to visit sometime in the next few weeks!  I have several ideas just brewing in my head of different themes I can use for these tickets.

Once again, I will try and keep this little blog more up to date.

Just the other day, I received this message from one of my Etsy customers.  It was a sweet message to show me how my gingerbread gift tags looked on her homemade fudge gifts this year.

These are the absolute best type of messages to receive.  It truly made my day!  I love hearing how my customers enjoy their purchases because that is the reason why I continue making items for my store.  Not just for my own personal enjoyment, but because I want to help others find that perfect handmade item.

As always, thank you to all my customers!
