To get the new code, copy and past from the box to the right in my sidebar--->

Done!!!

Yay! I finally finished my redo. This time I'm sticking to it.. especially since I also overhauled my Etsy to match my blog. That's enough fiddling for me! I even made a new email address specially saved for Etsy and Blog stuff, and I added a link in my navigation bar for anyone that would like to send me a message. I love getting new emails. They make me smile =D Oh and don't forget to update your buttons! My old ones will still work, but I like the purple color better ;-) Haha.

P.S. I'm also being featured tomorrow! A fellow blogger sent me a message this week and asked me if I would be willing to introduce myself to her readers. Of course I said yes! I'm so excited. I'll post the link for you guys tomorrow as soon as it's up!

Changes.. Again

Ok, I know I promised I was done changing things.. but I lied. I was checking several of the blogs that I follow, and I realized that my colors were almost identical to Spunky Junky. I did NOT want to look like a copy cat.. so I changed it up a bit. This of course means that my button is going to change, again. Sorry to keep doing that to you guys. I know how annoying it is to have to keep updating those. =/

P.S. Still trying to figure out how to get rid of the border around my images on my sidebar. Any suggestions??? UPDATE: Fixed it!!! Yay! Thank you Ashley =D

Shadowbox for the Nursery

Had a little fun last night. My best friend saw one of these cute little shadow boxes online and wanted to make one for her nursery. We picked up the supplies last night and each made one. I think it turned out so cute!! Definitely planning on making another one of these. We have an Americana theme in our living area, and I'm planning on making one of these with red, white, and blue to look like an American flag. =D
They are super easy too! We bought the shadow boxes at Ikea for $9.99 each. Just cut some paper out, and mark your placement. Punch the shapes out, curl the edges up a little bit, and glue in place! Each one probably took about 20 minutes. Total cost was less than $20, including paper, punches, and frame.

My First Trade!

I recently had the joy of participating in my very first trade!! One of my favorite bloggers had been searching for a cute camera strap for her fancy new camera. I've seen hundreds of tutorials for making camera strap covers online, but I've always wanted to make my own strap, instead of a cover. BUT I don't have my own SLR yet.. just a little point-and-shoot.

When I saw her quest, I decided to take the plunge. Heck, the worst she can do is say No, right? Well thankfully, she said Yes!! I was so excited. I did my research and saw how other people were making theirs. I figured, Heck, I can totally do that! I changed the way the strap was assembled, and added some interfacing with my padding. (Two things I had not seen anyone else do yet). My first attempt was a flop.. tossed that one in the scrap bin. Attempt #2 was perfect! I literally almost jumped out of my chair when it was all done.

I'm planning on selling the camera straps in my Etsy store, I just need to round up some more supplies and get to sewing. I'll be posting photos of the camera straps when they are all done and ready to buy.

My main reason for posting though, is that I wanted to show you the beautiful jewelry that I received from her in trade. She knew I had a love for owls, and came up with this collection for me. I'm so incredibly excited! She even made them on a longer chain for me. You can visit her blog, After Nine to Five, and buy her jewelry at her Etsy Shop. This whole trade process was so easy, I definitely plan on doing it again. If you are ever interested in trading, please let me know! Leave me a comment, send me an email, whatever!

WHW: Purple Nail Polish

For ages I have been searching for the right color of purple nail polish. This week, I finally found it!! It's almost identical to the biggest photo, in the bottom left of my collage. I've been trying to match my nail polish to my Dad's car. Yes, my Dad has a purple car. It's a Muscle Car, so it's allowed to be purple and still be tough ;-)

(This is the car I was trying to match the color to.)

{30 Days of Lists} March 1st - 9th

Remember a couple days ago, when I talked about 30 Days of Lists? Well I finally got myself all caught up!
Sorry about the bad pictures. It's hard to get photos without a glare, since they are in a photo album. And it was about 2am when I was taking these photos. Haha.
