New Year, New Blog Post

I admit, I have not been very good about keeping up with my blog at all. A new year, and one of my resolutions is to be better at it. While on Etsy today, I noticed we were in another treasury about fireworks! Lets hope this means great things for The Clever Ladybug and hooray for 2009!!!!!

All About Frederick Treasury

My little ACEO was in a nice treasury today that featured Frederick MD artists! The title was "All About Frederick-- Sample of the best Frederick MD artists." Unfortunately I am not good with screen shots but I am glad I got what I could. Woohoo!

Paper Beads

I haven't posted in awhile but I have been busy thinking up some new ideas and I am quite pleased with my brand new set of paper beads. With all of this talk of recycling and upcycling, I am doing my part and making beads with all of my scraps of scrapbook paper! My first batch of 8 went on Etsy this evening and I hope someone picks them up and makes a pretty bracelet or necklace with them.

Wrap Bracelet-See It Before Etsy Does!

I love the easy style of the wrap bracelet using Memory Wire. I have used all sorts of wonderful shades of green beads and silver-plated spacers to make this a real one-of-a-kind piece. I am posting it on Etsy over the weekend but you can get a sneak peek right here and I have purple one coming too! The image I've posted here is a little blurry but I will put a new one up this weekend.

Some of My Etsy Favorites

There are so many fantastic sellers on Etsy and one of my favorite things to do is wander through some of my favorites every once and awhile and "window shop." Of course, I love to buy things too when I have the money........

Here is my little treasury of Favorites.
