Standard apron is shown.
Check it out! I just got this in the mail today. Totally fun, I can just picture all the signatures on it, my goal is to get every Bella to sign it. What a totally cool way to remember Silverbella 2009!
If you are on the fence about ordering, how about this... a lower price!
The standard apron is just $24.95, and the long apron $28.95!
So don't miss out on the chance for a sweet piece of Bella memorabillia, deadline to order is Oct. 31 at midnight!
With the blessings of the Queen Bella herself, I have created a wonderful way to remember Silverbella 2009. It's not only perfect to wear in class, but perfect for this...
Let's tie one on! is an original artwork created by me, just for you!
Just a quick little note... The speech bubble on the actual item will read "Let's tie one on!"
There are 2 apron styles available both are 35% cotton/65% poly.
Remember signing yearbooks? Put a permanent marker in your pocket and off to class you go. Ask your instructors and bellas to autograph your apron. At the end of the event you will have a special keepsake that is practical too!
Please pre-order your selection by using the "Buy now" button above. Aprons will be available for pick up Thursday evening during the Welcome Night Festivities.
Deadline to order is Oct. 31st.It took awhile, but I finally got my boys to pose together. Sheesh you would think I was asking them to clean their room or something.
The kind employee who just sold us the incredibly priced light up bracelets, offered to take this photo...
We had a great time at Vala's. They are celebrating their 25th year. I highly recommend a visit if you live in the area.
Not only have I been out and about with my boys this week, but I have been busy working on some swaps and some new pieces. Michelle Cummings is the fabulous hostess for The Witches Cupboard Swap. Below is my creation or rather, Emma's Emma is a young witch, studying for her upcoming potions exam. Each bottle contains a different potion. They were lots of fun to make, and I have a limited edition available in my etsy shop.

It's back to creating for me. I have a few more swaps to finish up and shows to get ready for!
Happy Creating!
I know what you're thinking, "is she crazy? Monday night, who gets excited about Monday night?" ME. My beloved Packers opened the season with a beautiful win! against da Bears, without my McDreamy (who in my eyes is still retired!)
There were some tense moments, and some beautiful moments. It's a win, and I'll take it!
This weekend is the Plum Pickens Fall show, goodness, where does the time go? I have been in and out of my studio working on some new pieces. Between that, swaps, and subbing I have been busy. I wanted so badly to go back to sleep today (I know that's what I get for staying up late to watch the game) but I didn't.
The tunes are cranked, the Diet Coke is flowing, and I am thankful to be an artist!
Stay tuned for sneak peaks and this months surf report!
I have been busy working at the daycare the last week or so. It's been a wild ride each day, the last few have been wonderful because I got my baby fix.
On the flip side, not so good for work at home. I have a show coming up in less than 2 weeks, and while the ideas are there, the actual end product is not.
So you may ask, why so nostalgic? One of my coworkers is very pregnant, and getting a bit nervous about the delivery. I started thinking about Michael's delivery, and how my life has changed so much since then. At the time, I had a dream job working with some truly amazing and talented people. My DH and I were both nervous and excited wondering when Baby M would make an appearance. The doc joked about a Labor day birth, and I replied, "First time moms NEVER go early." Ha Ha ha, Michael was born on Labor day 2004.
Flash forward 2 years, I am still working at the "dream job" which isn't so much of a dream anymore. I was still fortunate to work with most of the same talented people, but some things had changed. We hoped for the better, but it didn't work out that way. Many things factored in to my difficult decision to leave, rising cost of commute, time away from my family, expiring teaching certificate, and more. I was started to hate what I love to do most. So I left. Went back to school, renewed my teaching certificate and embarked on a new journey.
I still keep in touch with most of my former co-workers. I would be lost without most of them. Their creative spirit inspired me to start creating my own pieces. I opened my store because of their encouragement and support. I am eternally grateful for all that they have done and continue to do.
I invite you to check out those who inspired me most.
IPatsy - funky accessories to complete your look.
Designs by M - mixed media pieces to decorate your space.
CB Yates photography - she has an eye for capturing those special moments.
and there are many others that I will share with you soon.
Have a wonderful, safe holiday weekend!
I have listed a few things I've been working on today in my etsy shop. I simply adore Ms. Dolly Varden, and I know that you will too! Go on and check it out! I also posted my digital collage sheet for the Halloween Witch. She is super fun to make, and it's getting close to that time of year. They just put out the new Martha Halloween!!! Love it! Skulls seem to be the theme this year. Too cool!
I also tried out a few new ideas and products this weekend with Carrie and Kate (2 of the Plum Pickens Gang). Some were more successful than others, but we had fun none the less. I was really hoping to take 2 classes at The Art Mill on Saturday, but Uncle Sam had other ideas. The classes were on encaustic wax methods. It looked so cool. I think she is offering it again this fall, so hopefully then... anyways, we decided to try out something we saw on Martha (I know Martha, Martha, Martha...). She had a guest artist who poured melted wax over photographs. It LOOKED so simple on the video, but not so much. We vowed to track down the wax used on the show, because the stuff we got just wasn't cutting it.
So here are a few pictures of what I created this weekend. There is also a sneak peek for a special tiara... ENJOY!
Check out my new kicks...
scanned my artwork, uploaded it to zazzle.com, played with the different combinations, and a few weeks later, 1 cool new pair of shoes!
you literally get to choose everything, even the color of the stitching!
I always had a fascination with Keds growing up. Not really sure why, but I did love them so. I never would have thought I could get a pair of custom Keds... LOVE IT!
I see some bling in my new shoes future! This could be fun! Check out my zazzle store if you would like to order a pair of "She had Faith" shoes. I also turned my "Let's tie one on!" into a pair, or you could design your own custom kicks!
Happy Creating!
