crafting this and that

Hi!  It's the end of January!  But I have to admit that January kind of felt long for me.  I don't know if it's because of school starting again for the kids or all the holidays they had or the mornings that seem to be dragging on because of the all the roadwork happening right outside our house.  All the construction outside is driving me crazy and really does not help me focus on crafting.  Also because it's February in a few hours, I've decided to mark down the 2017 calendars in my shop.  If you're interested, please take a look. Here's one of my favorite cards using Lawn Fawn's Monster Mash.  That sentiment cracks me up!  And I gave the bigger monster a bow tie.   Here's a closer view. Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello!  Wow, I had a hard time logging into my blog!  Probably because I have too many email accounts and passwords and I can't remember them!  I am a bit busy today so I'll have to make this short but I wanted to let everyone know that my shop, Simply Made Hawaii on Etsy is a year old!  I can't believe it's been open for a whole year.  Probably I didn't work on my store for the first few months because it's kind of overwhelming!  To celebrate the first year, I am having a sale, 10% off all confetti/supplies and thin cut confetti.  If you're interested just click on my Etsy banner on the side bar. Also need to share a couple cards I made using Mama Elephant's Cub Cuddles and Bear Hugs.  I gotta say I love that little birdie.  He is so cute!  I love the bees too!  And the sentiments are so sweet. Here's another one I made using the same stamp sets.  These bear images are some of the sweetest! Okay, that's it for today....

EDITED TO ADD:  Sale is closed.  Thank you! Hi everyone!  I think this is it.  Finally listing the last of my used stamps and dies for sale.  There is a bunch of different companies listed here and some items are old but still in good shape mostly because they just sat around not being used for a while! So here is how this sale will work. 1.  Sale is only for the USA.     2.  Prices are firm.  I think these prices are fair.  It is hard to price things that are no longer available and discontinued. 3.  Shipping will be through USPS first class mail with tracking or priority mail. 4.  Shipping & handling costs will be paid for by the buyer. 5.  Payment will be made only through Paypal.  I will invoice you once all costs have been determined. 6.  All sales final.  Sorry, I also will not be responsible for mail that is lost by USPS.  Most of these stamps have only been stamped a few t...

EDITED TO ADD:  Sale is closed.  Thank you! Hello!  Another day, another SALE!!!  This time it is CC Designs stamps and dies. So here is how this sale will work. 1.  Sale is only for the USA.     2.  Prices are firm.  I think these prices are fair. 3.  Shipping will be through USPS first class mail with tracking or priority mail. 4.  Shipping & handling costs will be paid for by the buyer.  I am thinking shipping will cost at the minimum $3. 5.  Payment will be made only through Paypal.  I will invoice you once all costs have been determined. 6.  All sales final.  Sorry, I also will not be responsible for mail that is lost by USPS.  Most of these stamps have only been stamped a few times and some maybe only once.  Some may have some staining as well.  And these do not have the original packaging.  This is a list only, no links.  Please Google the image if you a...

EDITED TO ADD:  Sale is closed.  Thank you! Hello!  I am still selling my used stamps from The Greeting Farm.  If you are interested in that, please see my post HERE . Otherwise lets get on with this sale.  So here is how this sale will work. 1.  Sale is only for the USA.     2.  Prices are firm.  I think these prices are fair. 3.  Shipping will be through USPS first class mail with tracking or priority mail. 4.  Shipping & handling costs will be paid for by the buyer.  I am thinking shipping will cost at the minimum $3 unless it's just a small die.  Just FYI that 4 CD cases fit nicely in a small USPS priority shipping box. 5.  Payment will be made only through Paypal.  I will invoice you once all costs have been determined. 6.  All sales final.  Sorry, I also will not be responsible for mail that is lost by USPS.  Most of these stamps have only been stamped a few times and ...

EDITED TO ADD:  Sale is closed.  Thank you! Hello all!  I am clearing out my gently used TGF stamps.  It took me a few days to organize and go through everything.  I still love The Greeting Farm and I've actually put aside my favorites that I can't really part with but it's just too much.  I have too many stamps and it's just not that practical for me to hold on to them when I know I won't be able to use them. So here is how this sale will work. 1.  Sale is only for the USA.     2.  Prices are firm.  It took me a while to price these and I think they are fair. 3.  Shipping will be through USPS first class mail with tracking or priority mail. 4.  Shipping & handling costs will be paid for by the buyer.  I am thinking shipping will cost at the minimum $3. 5.  Payment will be made only through Paypal.  I will invoice you once all costs have been determined. 6.  All sales final.  Sorry, ...
