Make My Monday

Hello, my Monday Mates!

I've had a busy weekend, but that never stops me from revisiting treasuries which have featured RunAliceRun or PipingHotPapers. Beauty in Brown was created by MoonOverMaize. She curated a beautiful treasury!!


I love the look of the jewelry in MoonOverMaize's shop. These would be great gifts for anyone in your life -- or just keep it for yourself. The necklace is perfect for any bride!!



MulberryMoose had a fun and fabulous treasury and included some of my magnets! Very colorful and fab!

This peacock by MulberryMoose would sure look cute on a shelf in your living room!



I'm waiting expectantly for a shirt to arrive in the mail from Xenotees. Then I'll be as happy as a clam in high water. Wait, are clams really that happy in high water?


Noelle -- you always cut me up with your jokes! I think those kids agree with me!



Liz of twolefthands hit the bulls eye with this treasury. Perfect pieces to demonstrate a mark right on the spot!

I found this surprise picture in Liz's shop. Isn't she a cute model!?!


Well, my Monday Mates, sorry for such a short post -- I don't have any funny words in me today. What's for dinner? Please invite me over!

When It's Raining Outside Enjoy the Treasuries!

I've been enjoying the coming spring weather this past weekend. Saturday was spent with the family riding bikes and soaking up the sun (along with the rest of the population wanting to get outside instead of being cooped up in the house). Sunday was spent discovering new items from my favorite collage artist -- but that's for another post.

Some of the treasuries PHP has been featured in remind me so much of spring that I just want to stay in these treasuries and enjoy the colors and feelings of new beginnings. Over the Rainbow by TwoLeftHands is no exception to the color splash! I think my mirror fit right in...


Liz never ceases to amaze me in the creations I see in her shop. She has been around just about as long as me. In fact, she celebrated her 2nd year on Etsy just last week! Congratulations, Liz! Are we done having fun yet?





There's another seller on Etsy that reminds me a lot of Liz -- and that's humblebea. Wait, Natalie is Liz's daughter! No wonder they both make me laugh all the time. I bet if these two are together for any length of time they have the entire room rolling on the floor. Well, maybe not the entire room, but everybody in the room!

Natalie made a beautiful treasury which eventually was featured on the front page of Etsy. I think I received a record number of shop hearts and item hearts during the hour it was on the front page. Thanks for the love, Natalie.


Check out humblebea's shop for some cute baby outfits and just as cute papier mache creations!




Monicaj made a sure thing when this hit the list of treasuries. The green is just screaming for spring and my matchbook notepads feel right at home. I think if Monica ever came to Michigan, Liz, Natalie and I would make an extra effort to hunt her down and have a great time together.


Check out Monica's store for some great original art and crocheted goodness. Also visit Monica's other shop - Monicajtwo - for beautiful jewelry!




Life is good - enjoy it to the fullest!

And, in my highly sought after book, is another seller that simply amazes me with her creativity. Liz, from twolefthands, has the cutest elf ornaments. I bought one and love it on my tree this year!
