MY FAVORITEST ETSY SHOP!!!

Okay, I have found... the best... the greatest... the most AWESOME etsy shops! I was searching for some pastel pearls to use on a necklace I was going to make. In my search I happened upon a pair of pearl earrings at the One Dollar Jewelry shop. Not only does she have tons of fun and pretty pieces, they are all really cheap and shipping is only 75 cents!!! The most expensive thing she has on this shop is a $15 necklace people!!! She has 192 items listed and only 8 are over $10!!! Anyways, I ended up ordering FOUR pairs of earrings... here they are:

One Dollar Jewelry


Pink hearts anyone? For Valentine's day maybe?

Guess what?!?!?! $1.00. ONE DOLLAR!!! And shipping??? 75 cents (50 cents when you order more than one piece)!!!


$1.00... again.. SERIOUSLY


$1.00 PEOPLE PLEASE!!!


$2.00... whoa big spender! :P I LOVE IT!!!

Had my eye on this piece too... maybe next time!
($10 by the way)
This one is so simple, pretty, and elegant... I love it.

She has another shop too, by the way. The items cost a little more, free shipping at the moment, but one look and you will know why I am in love with everything! These are some of my favorites:

Nataliaraya

I didn't copy these prices... but I love how this flower necklace seems to glow in the light! It's definitely my favorite piece if I HAD to pick one... although it's really hard to choose just one!

This tea cup necklace has a story behind it, and a galaxy inside of it... I love story pieces!


This piece makes me think of a pearl in an opened clam/oyster whichever it is... I love the simple beauty of all her pieces in this shop.

Okay, so after you enter my giveaway you need to get yourself over to Nat's shops NOW!!! Do you see these beautiful crazily affordable pieces that you will love forever?!?!? Go get some!!!

Flea Market, Dollar Tree, Dollar General, and Family Dollar!

I've just decided to run off and rummage through the flea market and dollar store in a couple hours. I'm hoping to find the following:

A chain and bells to make a card holder like the Centsational Girl:


Pretty random embellishments to help me make frames like Disney's @ Ruffles and Stuff:


Set of pin cushions to make Bob the Tomato like @ Dollar Store Crafts:


Glass candlestick holder and a pretty plate to make a cake stand like the one @ Oh So Crafty:
And also looking for some deer decorations, fabric, ribbon, buttons, whatever else floats my fancy! Check out the great bloggers I noted! You won't be disappointed!

Check out Beverly @ How Sweet the Sound- the creator of PINK SATURDAY!

Now check out fellow Pink Saturday Bloggers I L-O-V-E:

Also, this blog made me CRACK UP! I laughed harder than I have all day at some of the pictures! I'm so glad someone else is nuts about their dogs! (I love my cats, hamster, and turtle too BTW).

I'm trying to keep up with my followers for being so awesome (computer has been temperamental lately and not let me visit), and Angelika's Pink post had me cracking up!

Angelika Heart Talk

Here's to hoping tomorrow is a better day! (One where Charlie doesn't pee in my bed @ 2:30am!)

Doggie Bag!

Okay, so I'm hoping to make some Pink Saturday rounds this week- for the last three weeks I've been sick or out of town and haven't been able to get around! I just had to show you the awesome doggie bag I ordered on Etsy from Vanessa @ Phatmolly's Boutique!

Check her out:

OR
Http://Phatmolly.Etsy.com

It was only $15.99 with $5.50 for shipping. I ordered it Wednesday and got it today! SO EXCITED! Isn't it the cutest? It was the only cute doggie bag I could find for my Charlie that wasn't pink!

Love My Blogging Buddies

Thank you to everyone who came by to visit on Pink Saturday. Unfortunately, I had too much faith in myself when I woke up with a normal temp on Saturday morning and went to the covered bridge festival. By the time we had finished breakfast and arrived at the festival I felt the fever coming back on as strong as ever. Today was day three of the raging fever, but with some Motrin and Mucinex it broke at about 7:30pm. So I just now crawled out of bed and came to check the computer and found all of the amazing comments from yesterday. Thank you all for the well wishes and for stopping by to visit! More crafting to come soon!

LATE PINK SATURDAY CHALLENGE!

Okay, so Beverly over at How Sweet the Sound challenged us Pink Saturday Bloggers to feature another blogger on our post. I'm a day late- due to being sick in bed all day most likely, but this was well worth the wait!

Check out Claudia at Dipity Road! This is what I call Heaven on Earth! My soul sighed when I saw the pictures of what I can only call complete happiness. I love animals (thus my five pets) and would love to live in a quiet country house where animals wandered by for a visit. You HAVE to see Claudia's photography! It's AMAZING!

DIPITY ROAD!!! CHECK IT OUT!!!

Creative To Do List

Unfortunately, with school back in swing and my duties keeping me busy I have not had time to craft and create- unless of course we are talking station charts, picture schedules, behavior plans, and bulletin boards. Here is a list of the creative things I'd like to try when I have another break (sorry for not posting pictures... I'm feeling incredibly lazy tonight):

1. Cute Address Display... over at The DIY Show Off she has created address numbers on flower pots and pumpkins! So cute!

2. Classy Wipe Off Calendar from Stacie over at The Creative Crate

3. Letter Block Displays also from Stacie at The Creative Crate

4. Basically anything from Stacie at The Creative Crate... judging by the starred projects on my Google Reader

5. My teaching clipboard is in need of some major love like this one from Amy at Modge Podge Rocks

Google Reader

Okay fellow bloggers, if you don't know about Google Reader you HAVE to check it out. My friend Sarah over at Love, Love, Love shared it with me. It's awesomeness! It tells me all the new posts to my fave blogs on one page! Gotta try it! <3 href="http://www.google.com/reader">www.google.com/reader

Make It and Love It: Amazing Switch Plate/Light Cover Makeovers

Check out this link to the adorable new switch plate / light covers this gal has made! I've been wanting new switch plates for a while, but they are more than I want to pay for the nice ones.

Make It and Love It: Cork Boards

I think these would make great gifts for anyone, especially for a teacher who could sit it beside their computer/phone at school to keep track of our many post-its and memos!

Cute Little Welcoming Birds!

from Oh So Crafty!

It's going to take a lot of restraint not to paint these above every doorway in my house!
