Contact Hope Contest

11 Feb, 2010 by in etsy, giveaway 20 comments

Since my 21 year old daughter passed away in December, I relish life a ton more than I used to
I am going to open two more Etsy shops soon, one for candy and sweets that will be named in honor of my daughter, and the other one a cell phone/purse/zipper pull charm shop. I’m a firm believer in pay it forward. Having taught that to my children their whole lives, Amy lived all of her short life like that. She relished each moment like it was the most precious yet. And I’m determined to do so more fully than ever. Fairies do indeed keep dancing. :o) I love all things fairy/faerie, elven, huge Lord of The Rings fan. I keep things ridiculously affordable because we could all use a break. So, look around, even if you’re just browsing for ideas for your own styles to create; I don’t mind. Just a single mom making jewelry for fun and helping kids with college. I love beads of all kinds. I don’t think I’ve met one yet I didn’t like. :o) It’s so much fun to look at them all and think, “Ooooooooo, what I can do with that.” Or, “How pretty that is.” Then the creative aspect is pretty cool too. Whatever comes out of my head and hands when I’m working with my beads is what I enjoy seeing in the end.

KelseaEchoBazaar Alice in Wonderland Jewelry

06 Feb, 2010 by in etsy 14 comments

Our giveaway today is from KelseaEchoBazaar on Etsy. She is giving away a set of Alice in Wonderland “Eat Me, Drink Me” earrings and handmade necklace.

My name is Kelsea and I am a designer-in-progress based in Seattle. I am currently very busy with an unrelated 40-65 hr/week full-time job but I continue to run my etsy shop with zest, as it is my portal to the world of being an indie designer.
I love creating artwork. I’ve dabbled in all sorts of different arts/craft forms over the years, often to make gifts for those I love. Now, I like to mix them all up and create things on whim. I collect cool materials whenever I find them so they are usually very limited supply. I also like to reuse and create newer, cooler things out of older things, which makes for a lot of unique pieces.
Diverse materials, diverse subjects. That’s how I roll.
By the way, I live in a 100% smoke-free home.
Enjoy and thanks for taking a look around!

Doodle Bird Tiny Toadstool Terrarium

02 Feb, 2010 by in etsy, toadstool 23 comments


Doodle Bird Designs on Etsy is giving away her

Teeny Tiny Toadstool Terrarium

My name is Patricia Buzo, and I am owned by my perfect little feathered baby Nani – a Black Headed Caique parrot. I had owned my own mural painting business for 8 years. However, after a a shoulder injury I was no longer able to do large scale work and needed to come up with something new. After purchasing a small terrarium I decided to try making another, then another. Pretty soon I listed them here on Etsy and the rest is history. I thoroughly enjoy the great outdoors and working with live plants. I’m overjoyed that I have found something to be excited about once again. (and of course Nani loves to be outside with me as much as possible, she’s my little helper)

I can’t seem to stick to just one thing, so I invite you to check back often for new curiosities and creations I come up with.

Please visit my Doodle Bird Blog at http://caiqueclowns.blogspot.com/ to read about life with a Caique, including videos and photos of my silly bird!

PinkCherryMama’s Bio
i am a stay-at-home mom of 3 beautiful kids. i have the most awesome hubby in the whole world and God has blessed me more than i can express! i love to create pretty much anything and everything!

some random facts about me:

i am a stay at home mom of 3; ages 3, 15 and 16. in my “spare time”, i am a youth leader to the teens at our church. our home seams to have a never ending stream of kids coming and going…which we LOVE, but can get exhausting at times!

i love all things vintage! my brain never slows down. i am a never-ending journal keeper and have to keep journals in every room of my house and car, just to keep my ideas from overtaking me! i am hispanic, but i can’t eat spicy things and I am an only child…go figure!?!? i collect african violets, vintage furniture, vintage jewelry, vintage buttons, vintage books, vintage bottles and teenagers… my most favorite fairytales are “alice in wonderland” and “peter pan”. i love marie antoinette’s style…she was so…embellished! i have my cosmetologists license…my hair usually has some shade of pink, blue or purple in it…

i have been creating since i was 4 years old, thanks to my very supportive family and their belief that i am the best at anything and everything i do, even when it is not true 😛 !

I love to travel and, although, i have not traveled much, i had the awesomely rad opportunity to visit russia—while it was still the USSR….one of the best experiences of my life!

my hobbies include baking, cake decorating, scrapbooking, art journals, book making, jewelry making….oh, let’s be honest, if it’s creative, i probably do it, have done it or would like to do it!

One little note: The hummingbird is very special to us and I would like to share the story. For over 10 years we have had a pretty little hummingbird feeder in our yard, hanging from the Dogwood tree. We keep in filled with sweet nectar and red ribbons flowing from the bottom and still there were no hummingbirds. Kept the vigil going, but still no rapid winged beauties appeared. Well just about 3 years ago, my mother (Sue) who lived with us since we were married and who we cared for for over 10 years when she became basically bedridden passed away. Well you can imagine how distraught we all were and especially me. I didn’t know what to do to calm myself down, I prayed which of course helped so much but I made a secret wish, I asked my mother to send me a sign to let me know she was ok. Of course I would not ask something that was easily accomplished so I asked her to send me a hummingbird and that way I knew she was in a wonderful place. Well, I told NO ONE of this wish! Absolutely NO ONE. A week after she had passed, my husband and son were in the backyard and i heard these screams! MOM get out here, you have to see. I flew outside and there was a hummingbird fluttering at the feeder…FIRST TIME EVER! Can you imagine my delight and when I told the family they were in “happy tears”. So the hummingbird is so special to us all and I love to share this uplifting story with everyone…a little bit of hope goes a long way.
