Etsy

Here are a few things I'm working on for my little etsy shop.  My goal is to open it in the next couple of weeks in time for the holidays.  Hoping for the best for my new etsy endeavor!

Among the many things I'm working on, here's a glimpse of some gift tags, holiday notebooks and thank you cards.  Its so much fun working on this stuff ...

a good font

I love a good font. Especially a good script font.  I found Font Garden via GraphicDesignBar.  What great [and affordable!] handwriting script fonts.  You can find Font Garden at My Fonts -- which I also love because you can test out any and all fonts to see what it will look like.  Here I tested Font Garden's FT Garden Script ...Garden_font

SIGG kids bottles

I spotted these cute SIGG bottles at Whole Foods the other day.  Love the prints and bold colors. They have adult sizes + designs but I especially like the kiddie versions.  I'm liking the red one for Ike ...

Not only do they have these cute designs, I love that they are so sturdy, safe (no traces of aluminum) and completely recyclable.

hanging shade

Finally after a year plus in our new home I am focusing on some interior decorating. One of the things I've been wanting to do is get a fabric hanging shade for over our dining table.  I'm looking for just the right print.  Here are a few lovelies I spotted ...

Yes, another blog (in addition to our family/Ike blog and that baking blog I started way back when that only has three entries).  I've been thinking about starting an ideas/inspiration blog for quite some time.  I have so many ideas, thoughts and creative inspiration that I need a place to jot down.  This is mostly for me so that I can focus and catalog all these thoughts and ideas in one place.  If others read, great.  If others get inspired (as I get inspired by the oh so many great blogs out there), even better!

So, here I go.  I'll try to be a good blogger ... these are busy times as I'm also working to get my etsy shop finally up (something I've been thinking about for a long time as well). 

No more thinking ... time to get a move on it.
