Shrinky Dink Fun!

Whenever I do a craft fair, I like to have something fun to display on my table, besides the cards. This year I tried my hand at some necklaces made of shrinkable plastic!
If you've never tried it, I highly recommend playing around with some! I felt like I was six again... cheering as I watched them curl and shrink in the oven ;)
You can still find it at major craft stores, like Michael's. Have fun! :)

conversation birds and clam chowdah...

I will be a vendor at the Essex Clamfest (Essex, MA), this Saturday Oct. 25! The craft area will be behind the town hall from 11am-4pm. Hope to see you there! ;D
Chowdah......... Mmmmmmm.....

Mission Soldier Support - holiday edition

I am participating for the second time in a wonderful project started by Rachel Wright of Captured Time Books. In Mission Soldier Support, blank handmade cards will be sent to troops overseas. The soldiers will write in the cards and send them back home to loved ones.



I am so proud to participate in this project! All you have to do is go to any participating MSS shop, now through Nov. 7 (so the cards have time to get to the troops and back home to the families). Purchase a card, and put "MSS" in the "message to seller" box at checkout! To see the participating shops search MSS on etsy.com, or CLICK HERE.



The cards will be sent to Rachel of Captured Time Books, and she will mail them to military units stationed in Iraq.

***I will be matching donations from anyone who purchases a card from my shop for this event! Visit Rachel's blog to learn more about this fantastic event, and to see the cards that have been donated: http://capturedtimebooks.blogspot.com/***
