New things on my ETSY.....

Have finally been posting some things on my ETSY site....jewelry, journals, and art supplies....check it out if you get a chance. Feedback welcome! Here is a little bricolage ( [bree-kuh-lahzh, a construction made of whatever materials are at hand: something created from a variety of available things) bracelet....

Won't find this one on ETSY though, my neighbor, Mary bought it up before I got it posted! May find one similar soon though. Will be adding more things in days to come.

Hi there! Okay, so I'm not any better at keeping up with this blog than I was with my other...oh well! So anyhoo, son Kyle is visiting from the mainland this last week before school starts. Great seeing him and doing touristy things. My arms still aren't ready to get back out on the board but we've been swimming and snorkeling. Yesterday I was showing Kyle the artwork on the packaging (and the goodies of course) from my order from Artgirlz (way cool stuff btw) and how cute Allison and Tracy look and the next thing I knew he had a cute little picture of me too! Here's how I put it to good use......

Thanks Kyle!

Here I go again....

Starting a new blog that is! Tired of paying for a blog that is hard to use when I see friends doing great blogs with freebie Blogger. Thought I'd give it a try before my contract is up next month with 1and1. For this first post, I think I'll show you a couple of goodies I just sent off to my daughter Keely for her husband, Tristan's birthday next week...huh??? Keely gets a present for Tristan's B-Day? Of course! We like to give presents in our family....so if someone is having a birthday, isn't that a good excuse to give everyone presents? Oh well, it makes sense to me! Here are Keely's goodies--won't show you Tris' since his need to be a surprise....

The bottom one is a little pin using a large vintage button from my Grandmother's collection as a base. Added the resin flowers and metal 'smile'. The little frog with the umbrella is a charm that we got on a past trip to Artfest together--I've been saving it for something special. Keely and Tristan live on a little 'hobby farm' called Dancing Frog Farm in Connecticut. The link is on the side to he left if you'd like to check it out. She raises Nigerian Dwarf Goats, Minature Horses, Ducks and Chickens in addition to the menagerie of granddogs and grandcats . She has a variety of Chickens and Ducks that lay, green, blue, brown, and white eggs. Saw these little chickie lampwork beads and knew she just had to have earrings with them!!

Well, that's it for today...we're off to the corner to watch the sunset....Aloha
