Is it March already?

Well, I guess it has been a while since I wrote anything here. I have been busy trying to organize our new house (a never ending process, it seems). I am also trying to plan my wedding, and I am having quite a bit of difficulty in choosing a location for it...

Anyways, it is a new month, and therefore time for a new sale in my shop.
March's sale is:
Buy 1 item, get 10% off your purchase
Buy 2 items, get 15% off your purchase
Buy 3 or more items, get 25% off your purchase

and, as always free shipping to U.S. and Canada!

Here is a sneak peak of some new items arriving soon in my shop:

nature.

I just made a new treasury late last night inspired by nature. I must say, this is one of my favorite treasuries that I have made! I love the way the colors look together, and the random selection of items. Come check it out: nature.


I love it!

My Creative Haven

I used to live in a one bedroom apartment in which the living room was also my studio. It was a hassle to set up my "work station" each morning and then take it down at the end of the day. Well, we recently moved into our first house, and I actually have a room designated for my studio!

Exciting, huh?

Only problem is we have much that still needs to be unpacked, and my studio is full of boxes. Literally. There is a small walking path through the room. That is it. So, I was resorting to the living room/studio scenario again...

And then, I commandeered the dining room! It is not perfect. My cats spend a good chunk of the day trying to figure out how to play with my beads. Then one of my dogs gets lonely and wants to sit on my lap for a while... But it does beat the living room situation.

Here is my temp studio:

It is a complete mess right now, and I need to organize all my supplies better once I get in my real studio. But for the time being it is working out okay...

Treasury Thursday

I was quite excited when I noticed that the treasury count was down to 355 this morning. I decided I would wait around for it to drop below 333 so I could make a treasury. I love making treasuries, and I have not had much of a chance to make any lately.

Today I was in a purple mood. I titled my treasury "Purple People Eater." Remember that from when you were a kid? One day I decided to dress completely in purple to preschool. I don't know why, I guess I just really liked my purple outfit (even my velcro shoes). One of my teachers called me a purple people eater. Hah!

Check out some of the great items I found and included in my treasury:

tile coaster set by the salty peanut

purple hoot by cbunnybinx

purple people eaters by SooSun

We have finally moved into our new home, but we still have so much more unpacking to do. I still do not know where all my supplies are, nor do I have the space to sit down and create. I am very much looking forward to the day we are done unpacking, and I can sit in my studio and have space to stretch out and get inspired! Until then, here are some of my new items for 2010:

ivory and gold earrings made with vintage beads

adorable owl earrings

elegant ice blue briolette earrings
