Breast Cancer Survivor - Pink Ribbon Mailbox

 Celebrate being a Survivor!

This very pink mailbox would be a lovely gift to give to a

 breast cancer survivor or remember a breast cancer fighter.  

Along with the mailbox, you can also order quote cards for added inspiration.

Oh, where or where has my little blog been?...

Oh! It's been here all along...I guess I am the one that's been missing. Wow. My life just got CRAZY busy ever since I started back to work full-time outside of the home. I used to stay up late and wake up early to blog and play in the craft room...now I stay up late to grade papers and wake up just in time to get everyone ready and out the door for school. *sigh*
I really need to get it together, right?? After all, if I am going to be TRUE (see my other blog), then I'm going to have to be true to myself! Anyway...here is just a little something that I did tonight. Two etsy orders! Woo Hoo! I promise I will do some fun stuff for myself soon.


This mailbox is a custom order for a sweet boy out there somewhere. I also have Hello Kitty, Hannah Montana, Thomas the Tank Engine, Sponge Bob, and more.

This is for the same person and it is a school/teacher theme. I would be glad to make one for any occupation or theme.

Something for my Shabby Friend...

I think she's already checked in for the day...so it's probably safe to post this now. Hee hee. I hope she likes it. She has inspired me so much with her blog the Shabby Old Potting Shed and her crafty blog Shabby Secret Garden.

Although I have never met her face to face...I feel like we are kindred spirits!

So, Lea, I hope you like it. I hope it makes you realize that someone in California is thinking of you and praying for you!

Have a great weekend to all my bloggy friends!!

I'd love to hear from you if you stop by here!

Creativity Project...Day 2

Okay...it's March 2nd and I am busy, busy!! However, I did get to create this cute little mailbox for an Etsy client who teaches early music education. I hope she likes it!

Paper says Music Time and has all sorts of music related words.

It was a friend's birthday, so I gave her this jar full of her favorite candies and a couple of gift cards. I did add ribbon and stuff later, of course. =]

I am feeling like I really need to get out my supplies and get messy. I've had the "feeling" for a while, but it's just been hard to get some me time where I can play. Know what I mean? I can sit at my craft table as much as I want. I make things, I fill orders, but I am talking about getting in the zone - no interruptions - just time to be me with my crafts! It'll come soon. It has to!

Mailboxes and such...

Wow! I have been getting lots of orders for my mailboxes and I will continue to do them until I am all out mailboxes. =]

My daughter is going to attempt to video tape me doing a tutorial on how to do these, so stay tuned.

More mailboxes...custom ordered!

Well, I've been in my craft space again! I have been filling orders for mailboxes and joy boxes. It's not too late for you to get yours, too! Go to my sidebar and click on the etsy panel for more info!

Altered Mailbox - Valentine's Day Treat - Blooms and Butterflies

It's that time of year again! Aren't these mailboxes adorable? You can fill them up with your love's favorite treats, notes, or surprises. Wouldn't it be great to leave one of these out (or several =]) and have your family members leave notes for each other (or other special goodies) all through the month of February?
These would also make great teacher gifts, office gifts, etc. Go to my Etsy shop to see how you can be the owner of one of these adorable mailboxes, made with love, by me!
