Happy Holidays!


Can you believe Christmas is in less than 3 months??? It seems that every year my goal is to be ready for Christmas by Thanksgiving. That way I can just enjoy all the fun events celebrating the holidays......NEVER HAPPENS. Maybe this year I can at least have some cards ready to go!! This set is available for purchase, that way you can get a jump start too! Contact us if you are interested in this set or any other set you see here!

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer


I found these cute felt reindeer at last months Scrapbook Expo. There were about 18 felt reindeer in a row for only $1 a sheet!!! I bought a few and added the little red half pearl (also only $1 for a sheet of about 25). I actually looked past both of these items until I saw an example of using them together! I thought it was adorable and went back and added them to my basket. I'm happy with how the card turned out, what do you think?

Harvest Festival Happenings


Well we survived our 1st Harvest Festival and will definitely be back next year!! Despite the heat (why is Labor Day weekend in Livermore ALWAYS so frickin' hot?!), we had a great time and met a lot of awesome people. It was a bit nerve-racking to have our handmade creations on display for the first time, but overall the reaction from customers was very supportive and encouraging. Here are a few close-ups of some of the items we had for sale:

We owe a HUGE Thank you to Crooked Vine Winery for allowing us to be a part of this event!

...Oh and be sure to also check out our new friends at The Bracelet Bar at Serenity for super cute jewelry at FANTASTIC prices and Serenity Stoneworks for gorgeous fountains and garden accessories in downtown Pleasanton. It was great getting to know you both!!
