I WANT IT!!!!! Day 6

2008-09-28T08:29:00.008-05:00

Wheeee day 6! I've really got to stop looking through Etsy like I do. Cause I have a really bad case of Iwantitis. And when you want stuff and don't have the money to get it, it hurts! So I can pull up the page and glance and cry, and dream about having it. But you never know maybe someday I will. I'll be listing some more things that I want, remember to click the picture of the item to go to the Etsians store and as always SUPPORT HANDMADE!!!

So basically this next item and artist, what more do I have to say than DIAMONDS. They are a girls best friend and this shop DesignsByVickie has the friendliest shop ever. As I am shopping for an engagement ring, I found this shop and asked about a custom order of this ring. Vickie was super nice and accommodating saying that the center stone can be replaced with anything. So go and check her out and if you are in the market for some friends BUY.

Oh this next ring from PalleikoDesigns, so pretty I love it so much, I have pulled up the picture of the ring so I make sure when I dream about it I can picture it perfectly! I just want it, so there!

These cooper hoops from discomedusa are FAB!! Pretty little discs of cooper, and I want them! such artistic things is this shop, please go and visit...and buy!

And I love, love love this next shop. The most fab metal working copper, natural, designs every, and I have been coveting the next item from Zbella forever!! I love the copper leaf pendant with the copper chain just so pretty, and everything is nature inspired in this shop, and truly beautiful!!

and this necklace from esdesigns, *sigh* I won't even say anything about it once you see the picture you will know why I want it, and if you have any money and go to this persons shop, you will be in trouble, so many lovely things!

and this willa tree pendant from thepebblecollection oh man! I had a hard time just picking one picture to put up of my favorite, there is so much from this sellers shop that I want. I truly suggest that you go take a look. Lots of specials going on in this shop too.

So that is day 6 of I WANT IT!!!!! I hope you have enjoyed my lovelies and I'm hope that everyone will go and support these wonderful shops that I have discovered and fell in love with. It's my goal that within the next year to buy 1 thing from every shop that I have featured, that's my goal and I'm really hoping that I will be able to do it! and as I say, GO, GO, GO, BUY, BUY, BUY AND SUPPORT HANDMADE. As always support handmade artistry!

I WANT IT!!!!! DAY 5

2008-09-27T02:45:00.017-05:00

This will be a big one to make up for the day that I missed, not like I don't have a huge list of favorites anyway! I need to win the lotto, because if I did there would be some VERY happy Etsians let me tell you. There are some shops on Etsy I would buy their whole inventory I'm not even kidding!! Let me post about some of those shops today, well at the least the first couple. Make sure you click the picture of the item to go to that particular Etsians store and as always SUPPORT HANDMADE!!!

My first pick is someone I have been totally enjoying in the forums, never really clicked on their shop until today and when I did boy oh boy HelixHandworks these silver earrings I love, and I'd pretty much clean out their whole shop. Beautiful handcrafted lovlies I want everything!! I don't usually show 2 pictures but I love this bracelet so much I'm gonna throw this up too

This next shop wirelily yep pretty much clean them out too, love this bracelet that they have along with pretty much everything else in the shop!

But this piece the oval drop necklace, gotta have it!!! They are also having a sale 10% off to the end of September, may extend the sale to October but reduce it to 5% off I say any % off is a plus, go and buy my friends!

The next item I love is called "stackable eye candy" and eye candy it is. Such beautiful rings, and yep you guessed it, I'd clean out this seller too, I'd take all her pictures of their jewelry too LOL that's how much I love it, check out these beauties

and I simply love the polymer clay used to look like wood in this shop saltandpaper cutest stuff you've ever seen, I'd pretty much clean them out to I mean really whats more fun than having a jewelry box full of stuff you love?

ok and I know, I know I love jewelry but a few non jewelry places I would clean out and/or have them create me so much custom stuff they would think I had cleaned them out

first deliafurniture, I love the look of this bed, I'd have them do me something similar custom and do a whole bedroom set from that design, oh don't we all wish we had us some bed money!

and these shelves from lunarloungedesign I want them, I want them, I want them, enough said well besides the fact that they have bettie page in their banner and she is like one of my idols considering I am going to have a tattoo of her on me sometime soon!

and last these glowbowls from oneblackbird, now even my fiance when he saw the picture of these he was like "WOW" and we both said we wanted them so" get them I must"(in best Yoda voice)

WHEW my fingers hurt, my eyes are blurry and I'm already broke and living in a box on the street, but I'll have all my beautiful new Etsy shop possessions with me so I will be alright!!! Well maybe if I'm gonna be living in a box with my stuff I better find a nice quilt and some pillows LOL!! as my saying goes GO, GO, GO, BUY, BUY, BUY SUPPORT HANDMADE!!

2008-09-22T06:57:00.000-05:00

So I have been purusing Etsy shops lately kinda getting an idea for christmas, and basically that was a moot point as I spent most of the time looking at stuff that I want. I'm supposed to be coming into a little money the first of October and I'm gonna be a busy, busy bee, oh yes I am. I am amazed at the amount of beautiful jewelry on Etsy, and I love Silver or white gold, (yellow gold bleech) and Etsy has some of the most beautiful silver inspired jewelry that I have seen and I have ALOT of white gold hehe. So I thought I would post pictures of my most favorite stuff and the links to the store so that these fabulous shops could get visited.

heres my first pick a beautiful necklace called Snow Drop that I want so bad I can taste it, and I want the earrings that match too, gotta have it, click the picture to go to this fabulous Etsy shop.

Ok I love skulls, skull fabric, skulls on T-shirts, skull jewelry just love it my next pick is a copper and sterling silver necklace. I want this too, am I even gonna shop for anyone else for Christmas LOL This necklace is from OutpostJewelry all of this persons stuff is FAB!

Love silver jewelry and these hoops are so me I want them, this shop jenkahn has fab stuff!

Ok and Silver and any color works for me, I have the perfect silver chain for this pendant, it's beautiful and this persons shop SeaFindDesigns has beautiful jewelry infused with seaglass!

And you gotta have some sweets for your wrist, I love, love, love these contrasting bangles from paintedmetal!

Ok it's not all jewelry with me, I want this persons kristenkswansons pottery all of it but this piece Im gonna show you OMG i want a whole set, plates, bowls, serving trays, mugs, salad plates, everything!! The most beautiful porcelain pottery I have ever seen oh and I want the plates square too, I know, well I'm hoping she does custom orders!

and I'm planning on doing an asian bedroom and I want this print, from simpson, man do I need some money!!!

Umm ok I need to stop now or this post is going to get really long LOL, I'll do another one soon because I so need to do one about all of the fabulous prints that I have found on Etsy, I love Etsy.

Blinkies that I have done

2008-08-31T23:57:00.000-05:00

I've done quite a few funny sarcastic blinkies that I thought I would put up enjoy!

YAY Business!

2008-08-31T23:44:00.000-05:00

Yay, busy, busy, I have been on a roll doing banners on Etsy and enjoying every minute of it i did a custom banner, avatar, and logo for Princess Bride and she LOVED it, please go and visit her shop(click on shop name) for one of a kind beautiful handmade jewelry for your special day! I also did a blog banner and animated button for Loreens Scrap Place(Wish on a scrap) and had so much fun doing it because I got to do animation, which you cant do for Etsy banners I miss doing animation!

They were both just the nicest people to work with, and I love how if they wanted something changed they just asked! It's not being trouble to me because it is the banner or graphic that promotes their space, and it has to be done just the way they want it. So I hope my streak keeps up cause I am just loving doing the graphics and having so much fun!

So I played the lotto(mega millions) it was 170 million or something like that and when I got up saturday morning I saw that one person in Georgia had one(let me tell you my heart skipped a beat) but alas it wasnt me so I'll keep on keeping on and one of these days you'll see me blog that I won!

2008-08-24T04:03:00.000-05:00

So once again it's 5 in the morning and I'm still awake, this has got to stop! I did 3 new banners for my etsy shop, shown above and I think they are fab! Gotta do something at 5 in the morning, at least Roseanne is on so it's not a total bust. I mean with 300+ channels it's a shame that there is nothing on tv on the weekends, hurry up Wed so I can watch Project Runway.

So Etsy has this thing called Alchemy where people basically put up what they want done and a etsy person that does what they want bid to do the project for them, NOT ONCE, has one of my bids been accepted, I have gotten so close soooo many times, spend the time to create and send them something and I either, dont get it or they accepted something else or they loved what I did and will be contacting me for something else, and not to be a whiner, but sometimes I will look at what they pick after the bid is closed and Im like HUH??????? There are some fabulous banner and graphics designers on Etsy though,, it's great to be among so many awesome and creative people!

I have to broaden my horizons a little too, I don't like vintage or too cutesy, I'm a Retro, Mod kind of gal so I have to work more on that type of banner. I can do anything but when you like something it's what you do the most of. I miss doing animated graphics because Etsy doesn't support animation, but if they did, boy oh boy!! So be sure and check out MY Etsy page for great premade and custom banner, avatars and web graphics!

Finishing what I start.

2008-08-19T23:07:00.000-05:00

So I have 2 chapters of a book written, and I was in Barnes and Nobles the other day looking at all the new paperbacks that are out and I was like, I could so write this stuff! I really need to get on the ball and start writing. I have all these great ideas in my head and they are rolling around in there like marbles in a jar.

Like I said in a previous post I love the vampire, witches, warlocks, werewolves stuff. I had never ever read anything like that at all I used to look at that stuff and go "ewww, who reads that evilness!" but when I worked at the Borders in Key West, Florida, when Laurell K Hamilitons "Incubus Dreams" came out all these people were coming in to buy the book and someone suggested it and I was like "no way Im not reading that" and they said "just try and read the first book" which was Guilty Pleasures I bought it, read it in one night and when I went to work the next day I bought the next 10 books in the series and since then all I have read pretty much is vampires, witches and werewolves oh my!

So thats what the first couple of chapters are about and Im hoping to get it finished and be like Stephanie Meyers who wrote the Twilight series and send some agent a little tidbit and be signed to a 750,000.00 dollar advance. Keep your fingers crossed and hopefully you'll be reading my book some day!

Ok I forgot to say that me and my sweetie pie went to the midnight showing of this movie and can I just say "IT FREAKING ROCKED"!!!! I thought I was gonna pee my pants I was laughing so hard everyone was so good in it, but Robert Downey Jr. ummmm can I just say OSCAR! You totally forgot that he was Robert and just thought he was this black man! "I'm the dude, thats playing the dude, disguised as another dude" LMAO! Yay!!! Now I will have to do a Robert Downey Jr. blend tag and put it up for all to see!

Great now I stayed up for about 30 hours went to sleep around 5pm and woke up at midnight to eat, now im wide awake and that means i'll be up again. Man I hate being an insomniac! I've tried everything I can stay up for days, sleep for 12 hours and do it again. I guess I'm just trying to catch up on all the sleep I missed being a flight attendant, oh dont get me started on that, im not ready to tell what happened with my job, man the airlines suck, but I WANT MY JOB BACK!!!! I was the best fricken FA ever. I never had a nasty passenger story because I was so nice and sweet and accommodating that no one ever had a problem with me, oh your bag wont fit, let me just put that in the wardrobe closet sir *sigh* sitting at home on your ass sucks and it also makes your ass spread, how am I ever going to fit back into my size 4 dress, I was already starting to bust some buttons on that thing!
Ok I need to try and go back to sleep, tomorrow I will be blogging about the fantastic ETSY website that I go to and my sisters(check her fantastic bags here) success selling purses on there(and my graphics) and how she is getting ready to become the next Kate Spade/Louis Vuttion!!!

Until later

Breaking Dawn

2008-08-14T03:47:00.000-05:00

So I finished reading the 4th book in the Twilight series 2 days ago. I loved it! Though I did have some problems with some of the parts of the book in whole it was a fantastic read! I found this series when I worked at the Borders book store in Key West, Florida and was waiting for the new Harry Potter book to come out. I was browsing the the young adult series and saw Twilight, read the jacket description and decided to give it a try.

I love this series and it just renews my passion to write my own novel which i have 2 chapters of, *sigh* laziness is not a good quality to have when you need to finish your novel.
