Choose Joy - Little Boo Blue

I am in love with Little Boo Blue.  I stumbled upon this site while looking for new craft ideas.  Ashley is the writer, creator, artist (along with another million titles) at the helm of this site.  She is quirky, lovable, and upbeat.  All in all, an amazing woman whom I've never met and yet have a place for in my heart.  This last year has brought more heartache to her life than any one person or family should have to endure.  And yet her motto became and remains, "Choose Joy".

Today my email blog updates have been all about Ashley, her family and their current struggle, cancer.  Ashley has cancer and has chosen to fight it.




This is Ashley before beginning chemo (an adorable family pic):

And this is Ashley now (still smiling and as beautiful as ever):

So short story long, yes, that is what I meat to type, Ashley's family and friends have created an auction to benefit Ashley and her family.  Please, check it out, you might find something you can't live without which will in turn provide additional funds put towards Ashley's battle.  Support the Team Ashley Choose Joy Auction today!

Do You Etsy?

I can't say enough good stuff about Etsy!  It is a hot spot of inspiration, and a portal for purchasing crafty, unique items.  One of my favorite things about Etsy is the ability to create Treasury Lists.  It is basically a snapshot of your favorite items.  Here is one I made a while ago which is very fitting for Valentine's Day.  Enjoy!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

February Already?

Today is February 1st! Wow.  It has been almost a month since I posted last. I haven't been too crafty in the last month, hence the hiatus.  Well, I am back, and it is all due to my Scooby shirts  flying off my Etsy site!  AND the introduction of a Silhouette Cameo into my crafting life.  Stay tuned folks.  Here is a sneak peak at a few goodies I made at the beginning of January for my son and bestie Cara.  Enjoy!
