It's Giving Tuesday!!!!

After all the rush and wildness of Black Friday and Cyber monday, we've made it to Giving Tuesday!!!

What are you going to do to Give Back to the world around you today?

I started out the day with donating some winter jackets to my Munchkins school.

A good day for it too... it was 21 degrees outside this morning.

I'll be hosting craft time at the library this morning (something that started out, years ago, as a volunteer job and then morphed into a real job). We're doing Salt Dough Ornaments. That would be a fun way to give me ( I can attest to it)... volunteer at your local library to host a craft time. It's so much fun and it can be really inspiring too!!!

How about donating some food/clothes/needed items to a shelter?

Make some food for an elderly neighbor?

Sign up at the animal shelter to volunteer?

Lets all try to make a difference today, in any small or big way that we can.

Happy Giving Tuesday!!!

A Marvelous Mess and Features!!!

Okay, after being hounded by family and friends for quite a while now...I've decided to open an etsy shop. Who knows how it's going to do. But, it's out there now!!! 

I'm offering these items for now:

Check it out!! I hope you enjoy them!!!

Here are my fave's from last weeks party...

Cranberry Sauce from Crystelle Boutique. Yum!!!! (I'm also loving that old fashion scale the sauce is sitting on).

Now, on to the party:

A Marvelous Mess and Features!!!

I have been busy peoples. I'm going to be part of an Art Walk on December 7th...and on top of that, a friend asked me to make some crafts to sell at her business. So, I'm a little behind on party this week! What do you think of my latest ornament? It's a vintage tin (maybe a tart tin?) with a fake pearl bead and some vintage silver thread on top. Now, I'm just wondering how to price it. Maybe I'll go on Etsy and wander around, get a sense for similar items prices. What would you pay for this? The antique tin kinda changes the game a bit. 

Now, here are my faves from last week:

Thanksgiving Banner from Pinkie For Pink

And, the post I'm going to feature on my sidebar for a week is...

Apple Eggnog Trifles from Aunt B on a Budget. Gawd, that looks good!!!

Congrats!!!
