It's my life

A few more Etsy items

A quick post to say that I have a few more items that I have added to my Etsy store.  I should have more this weekend.  You might also see my new custom mini album addition.  I think that this is a great way to document the special times in your life without the stress.  Let me help you out.

Also, lots of specials going on in Stampin Up!  The retired lists are out.  Those stamp sets are 20% off.  Also there is a great free shipping promotioin.  It's a great time to book a party or place an order.   Please check out all of the specials on the Stampin Up! website or my SU! website atwww.christineousley.stampinup.net. Email me if you have any questions.

Epson Picture Mate Dash

Okay, there is something that I really want but I am not sure that I will use it enough to warrant the cost.  It is the Epson Picture Mate Dash.  I don't need the CD version.  I can burn CD's with my laptop easily but I certainly would love having the opportunity to print my 4x6 photos  where ever and whenever I want.    I actually went out and bought the newest HP version on the portable photo printer but I was so disappointed with the quality.  I really could care less about the speed but I really care about the quality.  I have read the reviews on both of the machines and surprisingly enough both had fairly good reviews.  Of course you are always going to have those people who hate everything about everything and then you are always going to have those people who say everything is just great because they really don't know what good photo quality is. Can a scrapbooker out there that loves photo quality as much as I do tell me if this product is worth the money?  I never give myself kudos about anything but I have to admit that I believe I have above average photography and Photoshop skills.  Would the Epson PictureMate Dash stand up to my standards?  If anyone has any insight I would love to know.

Blahh.. I guess that is my rant for today....  I just got started this afternoon after an interesting phone conversation and just haven't been able to get it out of my system.

Anyway, here is a picture of the Epson PictureMate Dash.  Tell me what you think. Out of the comments I will pick a random winner for a prize.

I love Etsy

The idea of building a site like Etsy was truly a great one.  It is the perfect place to see all the wonderful things people are creating with their own two hands.  Most of the blogs that I frequent are scrapbook related so I don't always see what the trends are in other crafts.  Etsy is the perfect place to see what fun, new and exciting.  So I thought today I would highlight some of my favorite stores and items for sale. 

Orange Feltie Kitty - I love these cute little stuffed creatures.  Amy Jo makes them best.  Check out the cutest little stuffed taco at her store.

Teeny Weeny Tiny Stuffed Felt Animals- These are so tiny and cute.  What a great stocking stuffer for a teen.  You can hang them on backpacks or cell phones.  Check them out at MiChiMa.

Handmade Soap Cupcakes-  These are almost too yummy to use.  They come in tons of different scents.  You get to pick.  Check out Arcadia Aromatics shop here.

Cupcake in a Jar- Now for those of you that like actually eating cupcakes more than you like taking baths with them, here is a shop on Etsy that you don't want to miss.  I can tell you that these cupcakes are out of this world fantastic and very much worth the price.  There are many different ones to choose from but one of my favorite is the Red Velvet Revolution Cupcake.  I can tell you that I made that cupcake last.  Check out the Bangerang Bake shop aka Fat Daddy Bake shop here.

Of course I have many more favorites but this will get you started for now.  Please feel free to comment and link up your favorite Etsy store.  I would love to check them out.  Feel free to check out my Etsy store as well.  I have a couple of things added and hope to have more this weekend.
