Welcome to Amazing Etsy Monday.
I feature undiscovered treasures just waiting for someone to love and adore them.

So anyway..... as of the moment I search through Etsy, none of these shop owners have had any sales in their stores. There are so many amazing Etsy items available,
these just need a little extra attention because they really really deserve it.

If you aren't familiar with Etsy, you have been missing out.
It's a super fabulous web home to crafters & artists of all types.
You can find something for just a couple bucks to something a few hundred dollars. Who knows, maybe even in the thousands.
I know there are some one of a kind large paintings and sculptures available.

Hopefully you like some of these awesome finds...
(all images are linked so you can easily shop)
I'm also including the list prices too.. some are fabulous bargains!

Danika Shining Ring $80

Modern Abstract Huge Canvas Oil Painting 13 $100

Spring 2010---THE BEES KNEES---3 tiered twirl skirt--6m to 12y $35

CD holder/shelf $25

What I Like About You Mini Scrapbook $25

and now I'd like to feature one established artist, TheRiverIsEverywhere .. Samantha has some super fun & funky jewelry and accessories...
you can also follow her on Twitter HERE

here's a small sampling of their goodies.......

I know that we are at the very end of the 5th day of the year.......but I thought I would give you some Project 365 ideas for pictures throughout the year.

and since some of you might start a few days late and backtrack (is that really allowed? oh, why not .. it's early in the year

)

Here are the first three days ideas...... 6 ideas are already listed & more will be added each day..

Take these ideas literally, or use it as a guide to find something interesting to you...

1. new (unwrapped present, a baby, clothing with pricetag attached, etc)
2. keepsake (an old stuffed animal, antique jewelry, etc)
3. frozen (icicle, a child bundled in a snowsuit, frozen dinner, etc)

I have started a new Project 365 blog for each of my daily photos. I need it to be spruced up a bit. Hopefully it will get done by the end of this month. For now... it has what it needs a photo a day with a little bit of journaling. Please feel free to take a gander and become a follower, if you'd like.

How would you like your own brag book with hardly doing any work? Then Brag About It!

If you are interested, I will provide you with a brag book sized kit that coordinates with my newest kit, Kooky Christmas. That means each page is only 4x6 and all elements are sized to fit the pages.

You are more than welcome to use the provided brag book kit and/or Kooky Christmas from my store, but you can only use items from these kits to make your brag book page.

If you accept this challenge, please reply here by January 14th to let me know that you are interested. By the 15th I will PM each person with the link to this brag book kit. (Please make sure you have it so you receive an auto e-mail update with each PM.) You will have until January 27th to make one (and only one) 4x6 page. Please save as a PNG so photos can be "slid" under that layer. If you have any questions or need assistance with your page, please let me know.

see more about the challenge HERE

Welcome to Amazing Etsy Monday.
I feature undiscovered treasures just waiting for someone to love and adore them.

I took a break from blogging for a couple weeks (except to showcase my new Kooky Christmas kit a few days ago). Christmas break was pretty busy for me. I'm so ready to get back into my normal, well - somewhat normal, routine around here.

So anyway..... as of the moment I search through Etsy, none of these shop owners have had any sales in their stores. There are so many amazing Etsy items available,
these just need a little extra attention because they really really deserve it.

Notebook $10

Cute Wall Mounted Jewelry Hanger (Blue) $12.50

Guitar Controller Pillow $50

and now I'd like to feature one established artist, Fabuluster .. Brent & Jessica Williams have some super fabulous custom wedding bands and a few other pieces of custom jewelry imprinted with your fingerprints...
you can also follow them on Twitter HERE

sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything else to

Hey Fishy Fishy

.......... but it's alpha time for you now.....

ok... you better pay attention & read every word or you might miss something important!

the 2nd paper pack is the only other part of this kit that is still available ..... for just another couple days and then it will disappear ..... something new might be appearing, you never know - so you just need to keep checking back.......I also do have FOUR blog train contributions available so if you don't have them yet, you better search my blog so you can enjoy them.

hey.....
how would you like a coupon to my Scrappity-Doo-Dah store? You can receive 50% off as long as you add at least $8 of goodies into your cart.
Use coupon se_bloglove - expires Dec. 25th

REMINDER: when you grab a freebie from any designer, please be considerate of the time and effort that has gone into making and preparing this as a gift for you. Leave a comment to show your appreciation. Only approximately 1 out of every 100 scrappers actually do that. Isn't that really kind of sad?
