Super Frakenstorm??

With Halloween approaching one has to wonder if Hurricane Sandy wanted to play dress up as well when it merged with the winter storm, lost it hurricane status and became a super storm for the northeast. Right now NY and NJ have so much flood water, almost everything has been shut down and millions are without power, the rest of us are sitting here watching what she does and praying for those that are still in her path. Still waiting to find out about a few of my friends but for the most part I have heard from everyone that was in her path, I hope you and all of your family are okay as well!

I have been busy these last few days, here is what I have been doing. Two sets of earrings, a necklace and 3 cellphone charms-however you can do with them whatever you want... key chains or book bags whatever your imagination brings to you! 


Craft Cafe is starting their weekly shop giveaway November 1st due to weather, Lisa Boland Jewelry Designs will be the amazing shop that will be the shop featuring the giveaway once it starts. The link for the app is https://www.facebook.com/CraftCafeLove/app_209569249055691

Don't you just love Fall?

I woke up at 7:45 and was amazed at why I was up so early! I didn't have to be up until 8:30 and still was up that early, it has been like that the last few days, I have been waking up early and I just don't understand. I love the weather though, it is cool all day sometimes it gets a bit warm but never hot and then at night it is chilly. I love the feel of fall. And baking, now is the best time to start baking again, summer is a bad time to bake, it is to hot and cakes don't turn out right but over the next few days I will be baking cakes for a fall festival on Friday night that I will be going to with my mom, we make the best popcorn and have the longest line while we are there!

Craft Cafe is doing a wonderful thing now, each week from Monday morning until Friday morning they are doing a giveaway. Each week they will have a different shop, all you have to do is follow the rules to be entered. You can come back each day and enter again to get as many entries as possible. They started the shop giveaways off with my store, here is the link. Have fun and try to win the $20 gift certificate! http://craftcafelove.blogspot.com/2012/10/gift-certificate-giveaway-peachies.html

Do you have dry skin? I have a problem with one dry elbow, it runs in the family. I have found a store though and they are amazing! Natural Blendings Spa Products has a solution to our problem. They have so many amazing products for so many different issues that you may have. I have Chocolate sugar scrub and Lemon body parfait, I love both and would not only recommend them to someone but would buy them again! They are great for winter skin and smell great!! Visit them here and try them for yourselves! http://craftcafe.co/shop/naturalblendingsspaproducts/

I hope you enjoyed today's post and I will see you soon!

Sweets!

Have you ever had a craving for something, knew what it was you wanted but didn't have it in the house or only had part of the stuff to make it? I want popcorn and M&M's right now, I only have popcorn...I also am not sure why I am craving the two together but when I try it later I will find out why! For now I will have to settle for Ghiradelli squares in different flavors. So I haven't posted in a few days, here's what I have been doing....

My candy corn inspired nails. OPI"s cabana banana
with Julep's Sabrina-a new crackle on top

A ribbon and pearl bracelet. I made two of these today to try it out but will
be making more soon with holiday colored ribbon

KSMonkeys Children s Boutique

Looking for cute outfits or want someone who is willing to work with you to make you vision come to life? Visit Amber and if she don't have what you are looking for she will make your dreams a reality. She has so many cute options in her store already, it makes me wish I had a child so that I had a reason to shop! Don't just listen to me, see for yourself!  http://craftcafe.co/shop/ksmonkeys/

Tonight I am going to 'haunted downtown' so there should be some good pictures tomorrow! Hope you enjoyed and see you next time. 

Today is very Blah

Looking out my front window I wonder if I will create anything today, the sky is gray and the air is drab. It is so blah feeling outside, it just puts me in that mood to leave the beads and images put away and not do anything except my household chores today. Today I'm not even sure that I want to do that!

I still have a great sale going in my store. Enter code HOLIDAYSURPRISE during checkout for 50% off during checkout, this sale lasts until Nov. 25th and 4 lucky people will win a free gift! Visit me @ http://craftcafe.co/shop/peachiespasttime/


Want to support a great artist? Follow this link http://onfireforhandmade.com/awareness-great-finds/ and vote for 'Love Sweet Chocolate' who is currently tied for first. Now if there are any others in this contest that you love then you can vote for them instead but I chose to vote for LSC!!! 


I enjoy wire wrapping but could learn a lot from this artist! As I look at Anne's work I wonder how her lines are so neat and her circles are so tight, it makes me wish I was able to do it as well as her! Wire work is unique, you may think that things will all turn out the same but each piece is different, no matter how hard the artist tries it is going to be a different set of earrings or a different necklace then the one before, so if you are looking for something out of the box or something that nobody else has you need to visit Flotsam And Whimsy @ http://craftcafe.co/shop/flotsamandwhimsy/ Give Anne a visit and if you can't find something you like I'm sure she would be willing to work with you, that is the kind of person she is!

Hope you enjoyed today, see you tomorrow!!

Fall and Holiday Sales

Blah, I am still not feeling good but I had today off so I have been able to rest. The weather outside is stunning, chilly in the morning then warm in the afternoon and chilly at night-the perfect fall day. I can curl up on the couch with a good book, a cup of soup, a blanket and my kitties and enjoy the day. Today however my cats wanted to play with some new toys they got so I made some natural flower bottle cap necklaces, they will be listed soon.  I also enjoy a few cups of homemade tea-cut up a lemon, add some ginger-fresh or ground either will work, and honey to a glass jar with a lid and put it in the fridge. When you feel the need add some to a glass of hot water and there you go, it has made my throat feel so much better and my nose is clearing up so fast; thanks goes to Cyndi for this and if you use it I hope you enjoy it as well. 

I am having an amazing sale right now. In my Craft Cafe store I have a 50% off sale running until 11-25-12; not only do I have this amazing sale running but four random customers will get a free item. Why 4? It ends on my anniversary so I decided to show the love that I get everyday, I am loved so I will love my costumers. Visit my store @  http://craftcafe.co/shop/peachiespasttime/ and use code HOLIDAYSURPRISE during checkout for 50% off and your chance to get a free gift!

When I first came to Craft Cafe I think I made a purchase before I even had my store fully set up, my boyfriend tells me I buy to many beads, shoes and purses but I saw this store having a sale and it was a unique looking design so I had to have it! I use it for everything, it will fit food and drinks and video games and craft material....just about anything you can imagine. I had mine created for me, I worked with the designer and picked materials that I loved and now it fits my personality perfect! If you need a purse like then then you need to visit Eddie @ Rha Designs. While you are there you can check out all he other amazing items in the store! http://craftcafe.co/shop/rhadesigns/

Well I will see you all again tomorrow, it is time to cook dinner. Happy reading.

Its getting closer!

I feel that first fall cold coming on and I don't want it...all because I went outside with wet hair the other night, I know that is what caused this. Oh well, fight it with hot tea and meds and I will be ok. My cats are following me around like they are my parents because they are worried, it is so weird having someone around who can sense things like that but I know its only because they care. I love them though, they are to sweet.

Craft Cafe, the site I have my store on, is having a give away right now. It is an amazing goodie box filled with 13 amazing handmade items from sellers on the site. You could win this box if you take the time to enter the give away as well, it takes 5-10 minutes of your time and you can do some of them each day for more entries. It ends in 6 days so hurry and enter this amazing give away!! https://www.facebook.com/CraftCafeLove/app_190322544333196

I hope you enjoyed this today and I will see you again tomorrow!

Handmade and Supplies!!

I have had a fantastic few days. I didn't babysit Friday so I spent the day with my mom in her classroom, it was a great surprise for her. I walked in and told her I jumped on my witches broom and flew over, her and all the kids got a great laugh out of that. I helped her get a lot of things done that she hasn't been able to do all year after the kids were gone and then we headed back to her house for a late night and bonding that I don't get very often. I spent most of the day with her Saturday and then my dad picked me up again on Sunday for another wonderful day with my mom. Saturday I got to spend some time with my niece before my dad brought me home and Sunday I got to spend some time with my niece and sister in law when I went to get something for my mom....I never go straight there and leave. A wonderful weekend and great food! Both days I brought home left overs!

I finally got all my crafting things put away and they are more organized then they were before, for now anyway. I am glad to have all that done and put away, I ordered some new evil eye beads-wooden ones this time, they should be fun to work with and more earring hooks. Both came from my trusty supplier Kathy and her Artfire store you can check her out if you want @ http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/studio/UniquelyYours12

I want to feature a store from Craft Cafe today that is both a supplier and crafter. As I look though the beads in her store I am in awe, the things she has are amazing, I can't wait to have some of them in my creations...they are not only good quality but wonderful color and stunning works of art as well. Her handmade items are amazing, you look at what she has and you are awestruck, thinking why is this person selling beads and not just making these amazing creations. I am talking about Jenn at SoulFire Artisan, you can find her @ http://craftcafe.co/shop/soulfireartisan/

I hope you enjoy todays post and I am hoping to get back into daily posting this week.

Me and my stress!

Well I had planned on posting while I was at my aunts house but the internet was iffy at first then I had 4 seizures and landed myself in the hospital for a few days. I didn't get to stay for the 2 months like I planned, instead I was there for 3 weeks but I enjoyed the time I was down there, helped my aunt as much as I could and enjoyed the time with my family regardless. Hopefully I will get to go back in  few months when my concussion is fully healed and I am back to 100%, for now I am just taking it easy like my doctor told me to!

I lost all my pictures on my computer so I am in the process of re-saving all of the things from my store, I guess when it rains it pours. I opened my computer the day after my seizures and I had a nasty virus on it and it took everything, I had virus protection but I guess that didn't matter. Just another thing to worry me that day? I mean its not bad enough that I wake up in the hospital but now I have to worry about my computer too...

I have a few ideas for Christmas items, I have cupcakes that I got from  Pammy @ https://www.facebook.com/HmsPrettyLittleJewels and I can't wait to create with those, they will be fun like m Tie Dye Cupcake I got from her. I also have a few new flowers that will be used to create memory wire bracelets and necklaces, can't wait to show those off-I am actually in the middle of one right now.

Right now, this month, is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Many of us are making many items but this hits home for me with my mom being a survivor. I have several items, a few thanks to a wonderful graphic designer Tara, so if you are looking for something for a survivor or just to support the cause visit my store. A portion of my sales will go to to Breast Cancer Research.
