EtsyGreetings Valentine's Day Blog Hop: Etsy Love



Love is in the air!
February is the month of love, with the 14th, which is Valentine's Day, being the official day.

A few members of the EtsyGreetings team are participating in a blog hop, so please be sure to view the blog before and after my post.

Love day is soon upon us and what better gift for your loved one, besides chocolate, diamonds or power tools, but a simple yet meaningful greeting card!

This is not to say that I don't fancy me some sparkling diamonds, but I would settle for this little gem from this wonderful Etsy seller All Things Tinsel



Vintage Enamel Flower Necklace Bib Statement


This necklace is big and bold and full of color and I'm sure that many lovely ladies would love to receive this as a Valentine's Day gift. Paired with my Valentine's Day card that says "Be Mine", when you give her this necklace I'm sure she would be yours forever!

Happy 2012!

Kitchen bar chair that is being fixed and recovered!

Well I must say that I'm shocked and surprised that it is already January 24th!
Where does the time go!

I have been quite busy with organization and home and shop clean up.

There has been many projects within my home that I've needed to address and I've finally gotten off my tuckas and started getting them done. I'm proud to say that I am now the owner of some artwork that is finally covering my walls. I am also in the process of having my kitchen 4 kichen bar chairs reparied and recovered. These may seem like minor things to the average Joe, but these are milestones in my books as I've been staring at these unsightly things for 7 (yes 7!) years! There are many more fix ups and clean up in the works!

On the shop front, I'm slowly trying to orgainze my supplies and studio, which seems to be a never ending process, but I've come to the realization that I'm a hoarder-in-training and I must do something about it NOW!

The focus of my shop has changed over the past 5 years and alot of supplies that I use to use are no longer relevant to me and I need to rid myself of them. The problem that I face is that alot of these items are still new in the package and I just can not bear to throw them out. I need to find a suitable solution soon, otherwise I'll never get them out of my spaces! Yes I said spaces.
My solution to my clutter problem is to spend an hour a day decluttering one room at a time. This sounds easier that it is, let me tell you!
I decided to start this on Monday and I'm already behind! So today I figure I need to spend 2 hours today and try and tackle 2 rooms!
My goal is to have my house decluttered within 1 month!
I wish the days were 26 hours long instead of just 24! Well hell I don't need to sleep for the next month!

Happy Shopping!
