New boots...

went shopping with my baby and I found these boots at Macy's. Can't wait to wear them again. Also bought a cute corduroy jacket at Target. I am lovin' it. I will take a picture of me with the coat on the next time I go out. Please excuse the box around the pic. I sent the pic from my cell, and for some reason it puts a box around it.

Go girl

My baby is going on an interview for a new job next week. I wanted to congratulate her on the interview, and show my support, so I made her a card.



I've been on Etsy looking around for new/different scrabble tile pendants. I came across the shop of HomeStudio. I fell in love with the pendant of a pair of chuck taylor's. I plan to get this one in different colors for one of my cousins. I am currently looking for some for her sister. Here is the one of the chuck's.

Wondering if they could make the pic below of two women...

Print Gocco...

I am searching for an item. I have heard so much about the Print Gocco system, and I would like to get one. I plan to wait until after we are married in May, but I do have this on my list. I took a screen printing class a few semesters ago, and I really enjoyed it. This is sort of like screen printing, but with a smaller machine. I would like to print out invitations and things of that nature. This is the entire system below.



Here are some things that I found around the web that were made with print gocco. This was made by cathleyaucla on Xanga.



The above images were done by minkee.co.uk/category/gocco/

The above card was done by www.paperskirt.com

I bought a new laptop. I need to buy one of those cooling thingees because it gets kind of hot on my lap. :-) I saw a cute laptop stand that I can use when I am sitting on the couch. It's at Ikea, which is one of my favorite stores.

wedding stuff, and other finds around the web...

I ordered some save the date cards from HeatherLynnphotos shop on Etsy. I told her I wanted to get them printed out, and she suggested using MPIX.com to do so. I am checking out the website now,and I see that they assemble albums. I would like to have an album made through them. Here is a sample of an assembled album.





They also have lifesize wall clings. I think this would be cool for the sports fans, or for a child's room.



I see that they do all kinds of things on this website. Business cards, magazine covers, puzzles, buttons, trader cards, etc. I do need to order some business cards for my etsy shop, but I still haven't decided on the layout yet.


I found something called a standout on this website. Once we get married I would like to have our wedding photo done on this...then as we have our children I would like us to add the pictures around it.


Well, I am going to order the print and get some rest. I have been working 7 days straight and I am tired.

peace and blessings

what's new?...

My baby is at her concert, so I decided to do a new post. I think I can get it done before she calls me. :-) I love finding new items on Etsy. It's amazing how creative people are. The possibilities are endless of the things that you can find on this site.
I came across a cute calendar for 2009 on annacote's site. I think I will get this one for our desk.

Stopped by thecraftermaster's site, and came across some gift items. My baby is a SG Rho, and I have 2 cousins who are Delta's and an Aunt who is a Zeta Phi Beta.





I need to start accumulating some accessories. I usually wear silver, but I would like to dress up my outfits a little more. :-) My babe has a lot of jewelry. Her sister bought her a jewelry armoire for Christmas, and she has a lot of it occupied. I'm not rolling with the big folks yet when it comes to jewelry, so I think a nice size jewelry box would be good for me. I came across some nice ones at designhutusa's site on Etsy. Here is my favorite.


found while surfing...

I am at work on my break. I use this time to get away from my desk and clear my head. I had to come on and check on some orders that I put in on Etsy, so I figured I would do a post while I am here.
I often find myself needing a mirror, and for the life of me I cannot figure out why I have not bought one to fit into my purse. I often find myself using my cell phone as a mirror. Don't laugh...I know some of you have done it also. LOL So, I did a search on etsy to find some cute mirrors, and I came across gifts2beauty's site and found some that I really like. I think my fave is the yin yang mirror.

Also, while checking out this site, I came across some business card cases. I have not ordered my business cards for my etsy shop yet, but I have been thinking about a case. I found a couple on the same etsy shop that the mirror is on.


Also during my search I came across mandytreptow's page. She has a lovely glass bowl that I love, and you can also buy matching coasters. This would be a nice piece for summer dining.

I will end this post with one last pic. tonyabug has a page on etsy that has all kinds of decals for your call. She has a lot for the Volkswagen Bug, but I think you can put them on any vehicle. I found one that my baby and I will need after May 23rd.
