Fun with freebie toys

I discovered a wonderfully fun website recently and want to share the site with everyone.  The Toymaker, http://www.thetoymaker.com/ offers free downloads of three dimensional paper creations for you to make as decoration and fun. Child friendly with adult assistance.  I'm running out of toner I'm having such a good time.  Give it a try and let me know what you made!

Today

Today is life-the only life you are sure of.
Make the most of today. Get interested in something.
Shake yourself awake. Develop a hobby.
Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you.
Live today with gusto. ~ Dale Carnegie

Poppy's Creator has an announcement!

Congratulations to Kit Chase the wonderful artist who shared her talent and her Pearly turned Poppy with me.  Kit has just signed a three book deal with Putnam Books for stories based on the characters in her art work.  Make sure to check Kit's work at http://www.trafalgarssquare.etsy.com/ very soon.  A book deal makes her art much more valuable and well worth the investment.  I adore everything she does and look forward to being the first to purchase her first book.   Way to go, Kit!
Be sure to visit Kit's blog http://lullaloo.blogspot.com/ she's got a terrific giveaway going!

Time to check the shop

It's time to check my shop on Etsy.  http://www.poppylovesaparty.etsy.com/  I'll begin adding Christmas ornaments very soon.

I finally did it!

I just listed my first item on Etsy.  It wasn't so difficult I was just exceptionally adept at forgetting to hit finish in order to complete the listing.  Two hours later the first item is finally listed.  Plenty more to come!
