New Etsy Listings!!

I  was  finally  able  to  make  a  couple  of  more  pieces  for  Etsy  this  week.  So  do  you  remember  the  Gypsy  girl  that  I  showed  you  a  couple  of  weeks  ago  on  this  post?   I  had  put  her  in  my  Etsy  shop,  and  within  24  hours  she  had  already  found  a  home,  which  was  very  cool,  so  I  decided  to  do  somethine  else  with  her--a  box--

I  had  made  a  box  very  very  similar  to  this  one  last  November,  and  it  was  one  of  my  favorites,  and  I  knew  that  she  would  be  perfect  for  this.

I'm  really  happy  with  the  outcome  of  this  gypsy  girl  box!!



And  then  remember  my  very  first  journal  page  that  I  did  with  the  Pam  Carriker  Strathmore  workshop?   You  can  see  it  HERE--actually,  it's  on  the  same  post  that  my  Gypsy  girl's  on.   Well,  this  is  my  favorite  journal  page  that  I've  done  so  far,  so  I  had  to  do  something  with  her  too.   I  had  a  little  fun  with  her--


I  made  a  collage  out  of  her  like  I  did  with  these  pieces--

Lots  of  fun  to  do  this,  and  the  possibilities  are  endless.

They  are  all  ready  and  waiting  for  a  new  home,  and  you  can  go  to  my  Etsy  shop  to  find  out  more  about  them!

P. S.  I  am  loving  Americn  Idol  this  year!!

    I enjoyed the original post on how that Gypsy Girl came to be....she evolved from trial, error, perseverence.....but mostly from just your love of creating!

    ...and how we love that you love creating :)

    I think you have some wonderful work here. I didn't think I would like Idol without Simon. I liked Ellen but understood why she wasn't back. That Kara person I won't miss..but I do like the Jaylo, and Steve Tyler ,Randy panel. I am not sure that there are some superstar singers yet.Guess we will see what shakes out!

    I like the stand for the box and the sides so much.

    Idol. I am tired of the audtions, the early ones. I wish they'd show us more of the good singers and fewer of the duds. I get heart broken when I see someone freeze or get dumped after they did so well initially. Hard to see the tears. I worry that Randy is becoming a Simon! But I am a faithful viewer nonetheless.

    How BEAUTIFUL, Diane! If only I have a little extra cash...LOL Maybe soon! Truly both pieces are just gorgeous. And by the way, I'm enjoying American Idol way more than I thought I would. I just know the person who I really like won't make it through (she's kind of quirky - the girl who from Virginia who lost her home to a fire). We shall see how the season progresses...Happy Valentine's Day! Theresa
