Merry Christmas Banner

I have added my Merry Christmas banner to my shop. I made it with some of my favorite things: snowflakes, vintage mica, Damask, the colors aged paper, and red. 

What!? Its November!?

I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween! Ours was superb! I must say however I am ecstatic it is over! Halloween is the busiest time in my shop. I start on it in the early summer. So as you can image I am SO over it. I'm late with my Christmas holiday items as usual but I will start listing them very soon! This year besides my Banners, cards, and tags I have lots of handmade supplies perfect for card making, scrapbooking, and gift embellishing. I am only offering a limited quantity this year. I really want to have time to enjoy the season and my family. I will leave you with a few peeks

Kits From The Halloween Past

Spooky Pair Halloween Tag Kit



Boo Cottage Sign Kit

Spooky Mini Wreath Kit

I know Halloween! Has she gone crazy you ask? Last year I had request to offer my Halloween Craft kits earlier in the year. So here it is in June and you can find them at Brandywine Design! I also have new spooky labels, cupcake picks, and tags coming out. I have a limited quantity on the kits and when they are gone there gone! Happy crafting!!

Small Treasures Bring Joy

Well I finally downloaded all the pictures from Christmas off my camera. Here are just some of the delightful goodies I received from Christine in our Vintage Stocking Swap. I really LOVED everything. It was all so me! I loved the little bobbles she sent me so much I'm keeping them on my little tree all winter! You should go to her blog to see much better pictures of all the treasures she sent me.

Also here is a picture of the sweet doll and ornament Cerri sent me. It was such a thoughtful thing she did. Isn't the doll enchanting?

I have certainly been blessed this holiday season! Thank you again you talented ladies!

Glittery Pretties and A Sick Little Monkey

There is a easy and fun tutorial over at Joli Paquet by Cerri you need to go see! So cute!
My little monkey has been sick. His asthma flared up for the first time in a few years and it took a few days and the doctor trying different medicines to get his breathing back to normal. There is nothing more stressful or scary than having your child tell you he can't breath! But, after lots of tlc he is doing great. He told me " Mom thanks for EVERYTHING." so sweet! At night I couldn't sleep because I went to check on him like every five minutes to make sure he was breathing. I'm just a LITTLE over protective. I took the time to make some yummy pink goodness. I'm offering this set in my shop. I think its very shabby chic! If it doesn't sell I'm perfectly fine with that. I think it would look marvelous in my studio.

Merry & Bright Printers Tray Kit

Merry & Bright- Printers Tray Kit
This is my Joli Paquet Holiday kit! You will get everything you need except adhesives and paint or stain. The tray is 16 inches by 12 inches and 1 ¼ inches wide. I designed the tray making each compartment to the size I wanted then my wonderful husband built it! A 9 inch tall bottle brush tree on a wood block is included in the kit. The wood tray comes bare so you can paint or stain it any color you want. Each one has the vintagy ceramic knob on top. Two kinds of glitter come with it. The vintage mica glitter and ultra fine snow glitter. The sheet music is from my very favorite stash. Its from 1888 and is absolutely gorgeous! You will be getting a whole page! I only have a few kits and they go on sale Thursday in my ETSY shop. Be sure to go over to Joli Paquet to see the other kits!

The Glitter is Out

There is an absolutely adorable tutorial over at Joli Paquet. Cindy made this cute tree. Be sure to go over to the Joli Pauet blog and say hi!

I have also been working on new tags. You can find them in my shop. I will be adding more and more Holiday things. My holiday gift wrappings this year are inspired by a few of my favorite things: craft paper, soft vintage lace, and pine cones! I think my new tags coordinate perfectly. I have more tags and labels to come!
