Christmas Time is Here

Another spaced out (as in length of time) blog entry starts...  Now!

Christmas is right around the corner and I received a gift from my Granny that I'm pretty excited about.  She sent me a box full of vintage rubber stamps that came from when her niece was a teenager.  There are some pretty cute stamps there and some that are quite quirky as well - can anyone say chicken marching band? 

Yes, I'm serious, haha... 

I'm looking forward to playing around with the stamps and seeing what kind of new creations I can come up with for them to be used on.  I see a bunch if new and fun paper goods in my future - yay!  Maybe I'll come up with a chicken marching band bookmark!  heehee...

I'm sort of in the middle of an overhaul of EVERYthing at this time, so not much crafting has been going on.  Though the bug has been steadily chomping on me as I come across supplies and items or pictures that inspire me.  My husband is in the military and has been deployed to the Middle East for the past several months.  He'll be home in a couple of months and while I eagerly await his return, Operation Organize the Entire House has begun!  (wish me luck on that - I may very well need it!)

On the sales front, my Nail Necklaces have been somewhat steadily selling, as they always do.  I'm also happy to report that I sold my second ever online dreamcatcher.  I've sold many dreamcatchers over the years in face-to-face sales, but only two so far in an online venue.  That made me happy.  Now if the cards and bookmarks would start selling...  Maybe all I needed was a chicken marching band stamp... 

(I'm sorry, I just can't get over that one, I think it's too funny!)

I guess that's all for now.  Funny how the last post I made I was horrified that I still had a winter background..  now it's winter and I have a summer background.  Sigh.  Ok, it's not really funny, I'd say it's more tragic.  I really do want to get better about blogging.  Maybe that can be a New Years Resolution for 2012. 

Hmmmm....
