This Week's Blog Post!

New Lanyard
I love receiving someone's trash to re-purpose! My mom's friend had some broken costume jewelry pieces to do whatever I want with them. In the bag were these fun purple plastic beads!

The rest of the strand is beaded with hemalyke and metal to give it some nice weight. It has a gorgeous look because those purple beads shine! This is available at Miss Val's Creations.

Easter
These sweet Easter cards are from Sentimentalist on Etsy which I got for my nieces and nephew.

Last year I gave them each handmade journals which they immediately starting doodling in. So I thought I would get them journals again so they can have some creative fun! (this may become an annual thing)

These are from Renewed Intent on Etsy. The journals are made from old books and game boards. So fun!

This first one is for the oldest who will be 11. It is made from an old spelling book from 1879! So cool. Parts of the book have been put in the journal! 

My nephew will be receiving this journal made from the Star Wars Monopoly game board!!!

My youngest niece will be receiving this adorable journal. The entire book is in this one at the beginning and end of the journal so she can also read it!

My free gift is made out of a Little Golden Book (yes I will be keeping this for myself!). Remember those?

Have a wonderful week everyone! Thank you for stopping by! ~Val

Eyeglass Chains

Eyeglass chains have been selling like crazy this past week! Every night I have been making 2 or 3 of them to keep from falling too far behind. These were posted last night to Miss Val's Creations.

 Journals

For my nieces and nephew for Easter I got these gorgeous handmade journals from Blue Toad on Etsy. These feature original artwork on canvas and they are hand-bound such a beautiful way!

I made bookmarks to compliment each one.

I am partial towards the Bucket List journals!

These pocket sized journals are great to carry around in your handbag!

The artwork on this Nested Thoughts journal is so stunning!

Stop by Blue Toad on Etsy or their sister site Tremundo for a full selection of these journals. They made a perfect gift!

Fort For Mr. Emmett

Jim made Emmett a fort! He was loving it!!!! I think he thought no one could see him.

Of course when I took that picture, Miss Alice the glamour girl that she is, wanted me to snap a shot of her as well. Got to love the scary eyes the flash produces. My camera probably has a pet eye feature but I do not feel like reading the manual.

Have a great week everyone! ~Val
