Wednesday...2 more days until my LAST DAY AT WORK!!!

I am going to make this post short and sweet... i have been home sick today and all i did was sleep, read and watch 3 episodes of Grey's Anatomy.

But i got an awesome package from Side Wing Creations which is such a funny name and a cute pic... i would like to ride in a side car :)

Wendy from Side Wing makes awesome stuff including a great magnet for my truck and a super cool zipper pull that holds her business cards together! PLUS IT HAS A SEASHELL and is ocean colors... i am sure this will be a major hit :)

Hopefully i will feel better soon and have more to say... but here is my schedule for the next week...

Friday: LAST DAY OF WORK
MONDAY: MY BIRTHDAY
TUES-FRIDAY: VACATION IN MAINE!!!

i am psyched for some time away and some time to craft...i haven't made anything in almost 2 weeks now!

Last Weekend in the City...

...This weekend is kind of bittersweet since this is the last weekend that the BF and i will be in the City together until September!

I am happy we will be on the cape...i feel like life there is a different speed, that we are more care free but i also feel like life there has a lot more drama. I do not like drama.

Oh well, enough about me... The sky is gray and gloomy...it is supposed to rain all weekend... nice, huh! it has rained for like the past 4 weekends.

OK, but onto things that make me happy!!!

Look at the great stuff for my truck!

Guess who made this! I think it was Jenny...hehehe! Jenny made this!
(I know, i am corny)
But Jenny is a talented lady who makes "bags and stuff from recycled materials!" which i think is super cool :)
Her stickers are so eye catching, and her business cards are awesome and sewn from recycled paper...i wish i was that crafty :)

This is the sticker and business card from theflashbulb!
Her stuff makes me happy...thats it, just happy inside. The sticker and business card is so well done...it makes me wanto to touch it because i looks like fabric... i think i may need some flashbulb for my walls :)

I had to photo the back of the business card and the card she sent me! She has her own cards! how cool is that! The card is so pretty it is on my cork board! I want my own cards now! i think it is such a nice touch :)

And if anyone wants to know where i will be Monday all i can say is hot dogs and beer :)

Spending a Monday night like this will make me not hate the end of the weekend as much :)

Thank You GypsyGoods!!!

So far everyone has been so great about contributing to the unofficial "etsy ice cream truck"but Kathy of GypsyGoods and AlteredEvents really blew me away.

When i first put out the call for etsiers to etsy my truck Kathy was nice enough to offer to make my display vine. At first i was obviously excited someone would be that generous but to be honest i NEVER thought it would be THIS COOL!!!!

My picture doesn't do this justice...it is hard to photo it since it is so long! :)

i LOVE the flowers. i said i wanted bright and these are so cool and creative (each one is different) ! i like how the whole thing has pins and clips and flowers and beads etc. it makes it pretty and fun to look at because each time you catch a glance of it you see something you didn't see before.

Even her promo bookmarks and business cards are cool!

Last but not least is this little beauty! it is a rack to hold all the business cards i get! which really shows how much GypsyGoods knows what i need more than i do!!! i have been racking my brain trying to think how i would keep the cards close by and visible and easy to grab the one i would need and this left me speechless! how perfect and how inventive!

GypsyGoods how i love thee...

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! for making these amazing additions for the truck... i can't even begin to tell you how much i really appreciate it!

When it Rains it Pours!!!

Well...maybe not pour... but i did get 2 things for the truck today, and one etsy thing i ordered for mother's day!!! Which to be honest...3 non-bill items...for me is kinda a rare event :)
in fact i am not sure it has ever happened before.

So now about the goodies :)

Emerald Coast Arts (aka. alycnwonderland on etsy) sent me a fun sticker and business cards... i really like that each card is different. i had fun looking at each one! plus some are.......GLITTERY!!!! :) (we like glitter here :) )


And Karina of Kreated by Karina who makes "Soap that makes Scents"...and soap that smells like heaven sent stickers and a ton of adorable sample soaps...i showed just a few that were in the box of awesome-ness!!!



And last but not least is the present i got for my mom!!! a Mimi Green Collar for my new "sister" (a labradoodle puppy) who i decided needed some style! and as far as i am concerned mimi green is peachy keen! the must have designer for the pooch in your life :)



Ok...now that i have been a good girl and blogged now i need to make dinner (Goat cheese and roasted red pepper, onion and broccoli pizza...yumm...thr BFs favorite) and then sleep because i still feel funky! but i miss you all in etsy/blog land! i hope you are all well!!

First Sticker for the Truck!!

Hi All!!!

i have been absent from etsy and my blog for a while... at work i am more busy and have limited internet browsing capability...if at all...so i can't etsy all day like the last 2 weeks :)

Also i have been a little under the weather... feverish and achy...but when i got home today i had mail, and it was NOT A BILL :) which put me in a much better mood!

it is the first sticker for the truck! it is from artsyclay on etsy! She makes really cute clay gifts and jewelery...as well as cute stickers and well made business cards!!! For the artists privacy i blacked out her email and phone number, but if you want some artsyclay for yourself let me know and i will ask her if i can give you the info :)



I was so happy to open my mail box and have something that wasn't a bill or junk mail!!! thanks artsyclay! you made my day!

Mass-Market Goodies

Ok, so i didn't buy anything at mass-market... it was dark and hard to look at things. also nothing was really my style and the things that might have been were too expensive for my budget... but i did go in the swap room and traded in some grosgrain ribbon and fabric for these little goodies :)

I don't know what to do with it...but it was too pretty to leave...maybe i will start knitting again :)

Awesome felt assortment :) so pleased with that!!!

Some Fun Fabrics to make little card cases with!

My next teeny little super guys may have tutus with all this fun tulle!

And i call this my new craft dress... this summer once i stop working... between accounting and selling ice cream (3 weeks) i will wear this dress as i sew to my hearts content!

And all this fun stuff cost me nothing!!! well, i did donate supplies and donated some extra money to the fund raiser... but the whole day of looking and donating only cost me $4! which to me is awesome... Hope you all had a super sunday :)

Sunday

Today is the last day of the weekend, so naturally i am disappointed... and hungry...i am waiting for the BF to wake up so we can eat breakfast. Today i will try to craft something...anything and i am going to mass market.

....went to staples for our ice cream cash boxes
....went to jo-ann fabrics for interfacing and snaps
....went to AC moore for stickers and a craft knife
....Did our mountain of laundry

i am getting more and more excited about all the things i will be getting in the mail from awesome etsy sellers... later today i will post who they are! i never get mail, and love fun non-bill mail so i am like a little kid on Christmas Eve!
