Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! I'd love to know what everyone is doing for New Years. Whether it be hanging out in front of a fireplace at home (like me), or traveling to see family and friends. Leave me a comment, I'd love to know!

I might be jumping ahead a little, but Valentines day will soon be apon us. I found some really cute cards in MHaynes2009 shop. She has these adorable Dora cards (below) for $3! These would be great to send to nieces, cousins, and granddaughters! You'll get 4 cute Dora cards, put some cute valentines stickers with them, and voila! You've got a cute little reminder to your youngsters that you've remembered them on Valentines day.



If you need some more cute cards for Valentines day, check out the ones below! These would even be great for other occasions than just Valentines day. For just $3 you can get these 4 beautiful cards that could be used anytime during the year!



I've gotta go finish making our New Years feast of saurkraut, kilbasi, porkchops, potatoes and carrots. Hope everyone has a wonderfully happy New Year! If you're traveling or going out tonight please drive safely! I wish everyone the best in the year to come. Happy New Year! :)

Who's who-The creative mind behind MHaynes2009

Who is MHaynes you may ask? MHaynes is a teacher in Wisconsin who has been one of our fellow etsians since July. She loves to keep busy during the summer months doing crafts such as making jewelry, scrapbooking, and beading.

If you've taken a look around her shop you'll know in a heartbeat that she sells crafting supplies at amazingly low prices! From jewelry and tags to cards and scrapbooks, you'll find it all at MHaynes shop!

She realized how expensive crafting supplies were in her area and decided to sell supplies on her site for a much more reasonable rate. What a great idea and job you're doing MHaynes!

Since she's opened her shop in July she's had 98 sales, all with 100% positive feedback!

I found this new item in her shop today. This would be perfect for Valentines Day jewelry, etc. Now would be a great time to start getting ready for Valentines Day, it'll be here before we know it!



This heart is only $4, and MHaynes is offering 15% off to new customers! You can get this heart at MHaynes2009 shop by simply clicking on the link at the top left. That link will take you directly to her shop. Don't forget to mention my blog and that you're a new customer to get your 15% off of these already low prices! Happy shopping everyone!

Frugal finds

I was checking my email and browsing MHaynes shop when I came across these beautiful items below and had to share them with you. Below there's the cutest little snowflake keychain that's just $2.00!

I also found this lovely lot of undrilled beads. I'm seriously considering making jewelry, after I learn how. I was thinking that these stones would look great wire wrapped. Just think how many different things you could do with them! You could make earrings, necklaces, bracelets, even rings! I thought $4.00 was more than a reasonable asking price for these stones.



It's time to go get myself some coffee and get the kids some breakfast, so I'll be on here later. Remember, there is a direct link to MHaynes2009 shop at the top left under "My Fave Links" for your ease of shopping and browsing. Have a great day everyone!

New found treasures

I found some lovely charms today while I was browsing MHaynes shop. So many charms, so little time! I found these beautiful Oyster charms today..

These lovely oyster charms are only $2.50! They are made from pewter and are 2 centimeters. I'm not quite sure why, but they made me think of Spongebob.



I also fell in love with these lovely deep blue drop shells. I think that a lovely pair of earrings and a matching bracelet could easily be made from these lovely drop shells. You can make all 20 of these drop shells yours for the modest price of $1.50!

These are amazing prices, and if I were talented enough to make jewelry, I would definately buy these beautiful items!

You can gain access to MHaynes2009 shop by simply clicking on her link to the top left under 'My Fave Links'. Happy shopping!

If you are a fellow etsian and looking to be featured on my blog, I am sorry to inform you that at this time I am not accepting anymore shops. I am totally booked through April 3rd! I will begin looking for shops to feature again toward the end of March. I will be in chat rooms on etsy, or you can send me a convo through etsy the last week of March.

I am looking forward to featuring all of our upcoming etsy shops in the near future, as I'm sure they're looking forward to being featured. If you are going to be featured please don't announce it on this blog, I want it to stay a surprise so everyone gets their very own week to be featured. However, if you're found to be announcing it on this blog then you will forefit your week to be featured. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Good night everyone!
