New Blog for Brides!

Since I have been selling so many of my wedding theme cards on Etsy, I have decided to launch a new blog dedicated to wedding color combos inspired by my card orders. It will also have cool Etsy wedding finds and wedding theme treasury. Please join me there too! Don't worry I will still keep blogging here about Etsy, Sock Creatures, card making and whatever I randomly think about.

The new blog is called "Be My Bridesmaid"
Happy Halloween!

Treasury Challenge... Kind of

I had an idea for a treasury that combined my Chinese Zodiac sign with my Astrological sign of Cancer. I am not a crazy astrology follower but I think everyone likes to read the place mats at the Chinese restaurants.

So on to the challenge part! So I challenge you to:
  • Make a treasury based on your Chinese Zodiac and Astrological Zodiac sign
  • Bonus if you stay in a theme like "everything blue" or "all jewelry"
  • Additional Bonus if you find both your signs in one listing. (I hit the jackpot and found a zombie crabbit).
  • No prizes or anything just for fun, put a link to your treasury in the comments!
So check out My Treasury HERE


My son has requested a Lion/Dragon treasury so I am off to make it now!

Haunted House Anyone?

My favorite thing about October? Haunted Houses! Check out these great Haunted House items I found on Etsy. This is the treasury I put together today. (I actually got a little spooked making it!)

I especially love this sellers shop, Art by Crixie. These images are fantastic and set the mood so well! They are reasonably priced ACEO prints.


Check out these amazing Houses from Haunted Construction

The detail is fabulous!
Be sure to do some of your own digging around Etsy! You can find amazing things.

DIY Weddings Feature

I was fortunate enough to meet someone who is planning her wedding with DIY or handmade items. This is going to make for a beautiful wedding. She has started a blog about all things DIY for weddings! I wish I would have thought of it, what a great idea. Be sure to check out her blog HERE. She included my "will you be my bridesmaid" cards as a feature!

There is tons of great information and links to shops where you can find loads of great handmade goodies.

Be sure to check out her wonderful Etsy Shop, Bricheese

This is a super cute handmade jewelry holder! Looks like she is having a sale too!
Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out my Etsy shop!

Halloween is coming!

Halloween has to be my favorite holiday, not sure why. But Fall is my favorite season for sure and Halloween seems to be the door to the Holiday season.

One thing I really like is the old vintage postcards for Halloween. The images are so innocent and capture the spirit of the season, the essence of Fall.

I wanted to share some of these great images and items you can find on Etsy. Makes me want to start my Halloween decorating today! I should at least wait till Oct. 1, right?

To visit these great sellers visit my Treasury HERE.
What is your favorite holiday?
