I absolutely love the beautiful illustrations from Elegant Snobbery! Marisa, the fabulous artist behind the “Snobs” has only been on Etsy for a short time but is already receiving rave reviews. I, for one, can’t wait till she decides to come out with her own children’s book!

As I was lazily looking through my latest issue of Allure magazine over lunch, I read an article on blogging and the person they were interviewing talked about the “Go Fug Yourself” blog. It only took the name for me to hop on my laptop to check it out and it did not disappoint!

We celebrated Brady’s first Easter today and the hubby and I had a blast! We probably looked forward to and were more excited about it than he was for sure. We stayed up late on Saturday to fix his basket and filled it with a stuffed bunny, some Matchbox cars, and chocolate (for mom and dad!). [...]

I found fabulous Etsy store, This Old Hen House, through her PIF (pay it forward) listing for some beautiful gift tags. I loved Amanda’s idea which only charged the listing fee and shipping for the product and encouraged the buyer to, well, pay it forward! I just knew that I had to interview her for [...]

Last weekend, I specifically went to Archiver’s on a hunting expedition for paper for the April notebook and came across this beautiful patterned paper by Basic Grey and knew that it had to be it! I love that it is really appropriate for spring time yet the design is stylish enough to use throughout the year.
I [...]

A few months ago, I ordered this HUGE stack of Bazzill cardstock on QVC. It was an amazing deal with about 160 sheets of premium, 80 lb. cardstock. I’ve been using it here and there to complete a few projects and have loved the thickness and different textures, which made me think that it would make [...]

Etsy has rolled out a new feature very recently called Alchemy, which ”is a space on Etsy where buyers can post requests for custom items”. I absolutely love it and think it’s one of the smarter features on the site!
It starts with a buyer posting a request for a specific/custom item and in their request, their price [...]
