Wow! I Really Need to Post Something! :)

Summer Greetings!
I always think I will have so much extra time in the summer.....I must be crazy.   It seems I can barely get caught up on laundry. :)

I know for some folks out there, the beginning of school is just around the corner.  I'm in Oregon and we don't start until after Labor Day.  But, in honor of Back to School......I thought I'd share some teacher gifts I made.   Most of the supplies are from Papertrey Ink (stamps & paper anyway).

First up, a little kraft box of notes and a wrapped Hershey's chocolate bar.

Next, more  wrapped candy bars and some teacher cards.  This teacher got some flowers instead of the note box, because I was so last minute and couldn't pull it off.  I can be a procrastinator!!

More cards - these a teeny bit different.  I made this batch for a monthly card swap with some crafty friends.  I keep one, and receive 7 different cards back.  So fun!!

Enjoy the rest of your summer!!
I hope to be back soon with more posts.

Gift Card Holders

 A couple of these fun little gift card holders are in my etsy shop now.  I just love this one with the huge rhinestone in the center.  Some people say "less is more", sometimes I disagree. :)

These might be nice little treat for mom, with her favorite gift card tucked in the back?

It's Sunday today and the family is still asleep.  I am enjoying the quiet and a nice cup of coffee!  I know the peace will end soon.  What's on your "to do" list today?  I'm hoping to stay home and clean/organize my house.  My craft room is a sea of colorful chaos.  Ack! 

Have a wonderful day~

New Tags & Goodies!

Cheerio!

I just added a few new tags sets into the SHOP tonight.  Hope you like! :)

 Still more to come this weekend.......hope you will check back soon.

p.s.  Did you watch the Royal Wedding?  I was actually awake at 3am when it started for us on the West Coast.  I caught a bit of it, but couldn't stay awake.  A beautiful day for them - and William seems so sweet.  What did you think of Kate's gown?  And who knew how many titles they would receive?  Amazing to think you can start the day as Kate, and end up a Duchess, Baroness and more! Wow!

Bye for now~

If Only.......

I could have another wedding!  I think I might just splurge on these fabulous shoes!!  Okay, they may be a **little** over the top.  But really,  how many chances in life are there to wear shoes like these?

Or maybe these little pretties?

If YOU have a special occasion (attending the Royal Wedding maybe?).....you should check out

this Etsy Shop:  Ever Lasting Fashion. 

She makes each pair of shoes to order.  WOW. 

Just another amazing Etsy Find.  It's so easy to get lost in there. :)

New Flower Pins!

  

Just added to the shop today - some fresh & fun pins.  Two different styles, the first style is fabric, the second (my favorite) are the silk/organza/tulle flowers.  These are fun to make, but take lots and lots of layers!!  The color possibilities are endless.

 Which is your favorite?

My New Home!

Well, my "new" blog home anyway! In February we switched Internet providers from Frontier to Comcast, and at that time my Posh Paisley blog used a Frontier email as my login. Oops! I didn't realize once we switched that I would be locked out of my own blog. How is Blogger so smart? Well, live and learn. After a month or more of trying to figure out how to get my old blog back, I figured starting a new one was easier. So my tip to you: if you have a blog, or want to start a blog, use a HOTMAIL, GMAIL, YAHOO email account. (Did you know, there are no real people that you can contact at blogger? No help desk, nobody to email...just you. And maybe an online forum you and other lost people read.) Ack. Okay, on with the show! :)

If you would like to visit my previous blog to find out a little more about me, you can find it here: Posh Paisley Blog.

I have added some of my past crafty pictures in the right side bar of THIS blog just for fun! >>>>>>>

So.......welcome to my new and improved "Posh Paisley Studio" Blog! I hope you add me to your favorites and visit often. :)

I'll be back with another post and pictures from a Spring Craft Fair I did yesterday with my Friend Kandi. :)

Have a great Sunday~ Linda
