So, I am a part of a Blogger Ornament Exchange. AND, I am crazy and I've already made and sent out my ornament (not due until Nov. 20th). I had so much fun making it. I thought I should blog about it now because I know I will be really busy in November!
So, the lovely blogger I have does not know I have them (and I don't think this person reads my blog). I'm not too worried they'll figure out this is their ornament!
Basically I read up on their blogs and found out some things about them. The main penguin is my gift exchange person, while the two smaller ones are their kids. The heart represents any other important people in their lives!
This ornament is titled, "Paper Flying Penguins".
I hope this person will love it! Please check out my shop in the next week or two. I will finally be posting the many holiday items I have been making!
Earlier this evening I was reading Stella Birds Blog and her recent post totally reminded me of myself! It was funny.
I pretty much always wear the same sweatshirt while I work. I actually thought about it earlier today when I realized that I've been to the Postal Annex 3 times in the past 5 days and I wore the same sweatshirt and shoes with some jeans. By the 3rd day, I thought the lady working at the Postal Annex gave me a look like, "Hmmm, she should probably wash that!" Which I did, but I just love it!
Also, Stella Bird also wrote about a song she listens to over and over again (Noah and The Whale- 5 years time, which I LOVE too). I too have a song I listen to over and over again that I dance to in my chair (and sing to my kitties and dog).
Santogold L.E.S. Artistes. I love it! I'd love to see her sometime, but she's only performing on the East Coast.
Is there a song you LOVE to listen to while you work?

By the way: I know I was supposed to post my giveaway today, but for some reason my body decided to sleep in till noon (never happens). SO, I didn't post it. I will tomorrow! Please check it out!

About me: 1. I went to school for interior design. 2. I'm from and live in Portland, Oregon. But, I lived in Seattle for 4 years. I loved it, but my heart belongs in Portland. 3. I just got married in Portland on the terrace of the Ecotrust building. It was beautiful. 4. My husband and I dated 6 years before we got married. Four of those six years were long distance. 5. Chocolate. I LOVE chocolate. Its an addiction of mine. Chocolate. 6. We bought our first house one year ago. Its tiny, cute, and we love fixing it up! 7. I've been scrapbooking for years! During school I was scrapbooking about 2 pages a day. I couldn't stop! After school I started creating other things with paper and realized how much I loved it! Now, I spend my days sketching and coming up with new ways to mess with paper. Its been fun!
So, I've chosen the following bloggers, that I enjoy, to play the game. If you've already been tagged, I'm sorry!
New product at my shop! I've made a paper wreath out of old wrapping paper! Great to decorate your home during the holidays! Put it in the house, or on an outside door that is protected from the rain (it has a waterproof coating on it, but it should still stay out of direct rain).
New Item in my shop! An advent calendar! Its a perfect way to countdown to Christmas! I like to countdown to Christmas by putting project ideas and suggestions in each slot. That way, each day you and your family can do something for the holiday! How about volunteer work? Or, make an ornament? Plan the projects and ideas together and place in each slot!
OR, just put some chocolate in each slot! Can't go wrong with chocolate!
I thought I'd let you all in on the most awesome thing ever! The handmade pledge! Check it out:
I have taken this pledge. The pledge: "I pledge to buy handmade this holiday season, and request that others do the same for me." I know it is almost impossible in our world to buy 100% handmade, so I believe I will buy 90% handmade (I'll do my best).
Will you take the pledge?
There are so many AWESOME things to find on Etsy, and other online shops. Please check it out before you head out to the mall. Some examples of the wide variety of items you can find on Etsy: -One of a kind Jewelry from Cryztalvisions -Soy candles from Aroma Fields Candles -Unique knitted items from A Stitch to Wear -Some awesome paper items from Paper Lady Invites of course! -Custom felted likeness of your dog from AmeliaMakesArt -Perfume from Artedelprofumo -How about a Yeti or A Little Bigfoot from Stelabird? -Even some beautiful lingerie from OnTheInside
