Another VERY overdue post! Sorry for being a bum...

Ok, so i really don't know why posting has been such an issue for me... i have been a lazy bum i guess... I started the ice cream truck on Wednesday, and have today off because it is hazy and gray outside. I hope the weather picks up because it has been SLOW, but it isn't ridiculously hot yet and the summer did just officially begin. I will be posting pictures of the truck soon but have been just trying to get used to driving it first :)

but here are the last 3 AWESOME etsiers who sent items in (sorry i was so late blogging about your awesome-ness)

Risky Beads sent this crazy magnet that is awesome

and some great necklaces! She even has her own post-its which is just too cute!

And Jodi's Craft Emporium sent these awesome crocheted washcloth/coasters! I love the bright colors!


And last but not least is Mitsel8

who made this awesome wooden painted sign, which it just adorable!

Sorry again about my late posting and I hope your all having a great summer :)

a VERY overdue post

Hi everyone!

Sorry i have been neglectful to my blog. I finished up my internship and then immediately went to the cape for my birthday and then Maine for a vacation and now am crafting up a storm for my first craft show on Saturday the 7th! As you can imagine it has been very very hectic here!

But i decided to post because i NEEDED to let you know about some of these awesome etsiers who sent in things for the truck :)

Gayle from whatshername sent cute tags and seashell magnets! Don't you love her gorgeous business cards! In her store she has great fabric goods and beautiful pressed flowers made into bookmarks and magnets! A must see :)


Buffalo Nerd sent an awesome iPod Cozy!!! I LOVE the fabric, it is so fun and fresh. She has a lot of other great cozies in her store and awesome things for the science nerd in your life! Plus she has great bags made from up-cycled goods!


Kung Fu Cowgirl sent me some AWESOME STUFF THAT I AM IN LOVE WITH!!!!! How perfect are these earrings for me! I can't wait to wear them in the truck, i just know little kids will love them :)

Also the cards and magnet calendar are sooo cute! i am going to stick the calendar in my truck! Go check out her shop! it is adorable :)


And last but not least is Ioulia!!! Can you believe how GORGEOUS that necklace and earrings are that she sent me?!?! I just know people will be asking about them and wanting their own! Plus once her cards are up on the vine i know they will catch peoples eyes! I love how professional they look and how well the pictures are done! i wish i had pics that good for my plushies :) Her jewelery is not only gorgeous but it is also affordable! Check it out today!

Well now i am off to work on some plushies for Saturday! Have a good day :)

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!

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!

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.

yesterday we ...

....went to stop and shop
....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!

Calling all Etsy Sellers! Etsy my truck!

So this summer the BF and i are going to be ice cream drivers! Last night i was thinking of how to decorate my truck inexpensively and i though "hey! maybe some etsy people would wanna send items to decorate my truck and promote their shops!" So i added a thread in the forums and people have been soooo great! i am so excited about the response and am on the way to an ice cream etsy mobile!!!

Here are pics from last year! my truck will be so much better than this :)

You all need to come visit me on the Cape!!! and see the etsy mobile!!!
