Back to School...


School is in Session!

I can't believe that it has been "eight" months since I last wrote on my blog.  Shame on me!  The last time I visited here, I was just returning back to teaching after a year and a half.  Where did that school year go?!?

Last year was a blur to say the least!

Finished the school year as a Read Intervention teacher which was one of the most awesome experiences I have ever had.  Working with children from 1st grade - 6th grade who were a year or more behind their reading grade level was both rewarding and fun.  The children I worked with came from all walks of life, but unfortunately most of them live in very poor conditions.  But oh how they appreciated every day eager to learn.  My days were filled with hugs after hugs.

I am returning this school year to a new position as an elementary school Librarian & new school within the same school district.  I am so excited about the new school year and new challenges.

During the time I have been gone from my blog, I have managed to keep up with my Etsy shop.  If you haven't visited for awhile, you will be pleasantly surprised.  Lots and lots of colorful & fun snap hair clips have been added.  

Cross my heart, I promise not to neglect my blog again!  I have missed blogging and all of you.

Until then... take care and have an awesome remainder to the summer!

Dreams of Mermaids...

SanDesign, a seller on Etsy, sent me a convo today to share with me her newest Treasury. Well, after seeing it, I just knew where I was going next.  Yuppers, right here to my Blog so that I could share it with all of you.  It is just too gorgeous to keep it a secret. 

If you love "mermaids", you won't be disappointed.  Without further adieu, here it is!

Let Them Eat Cake...

I have been so busy with stocking my shop with new items for the upcoming holiday season that I have totally ignored my Blog.  My apologies to all my readers!  :)

While taking a much needed break from tending to my online shops I found this absolutely incredible and gorgeous Treasury on Etsy.

Butterflies and the Season...

Spring has always been one my favorite times of the year, not sure why since living in Arizona I know that HOT weather is soon to follow, maybe it's the knowing that makes me appreciate the cool weather so much more.

We also see an influx of butterflies during this time of the year, so I can't help but be motivated to fill my shop with the wonderful, graceful creatures.   Such as the pair below...


I love the royal blue in these beauties with just a hint of red.  I can imagine them fluttering past and the amazement they bring.


Imagine wearing these lovelies on Fourth of July.  Don't they speak of patriotic?

But then anyone, anywhere can wear these with their vibrant color and receive ooh's and aah's.


When I created these I wanted to make hair clips that made a statement.  Did I do it?

The majestic black with the various shades of green with a hint of yellow is so striking!

Hope you have enjoyed my mini preview of the collection of lace butterfly hair clips, with many more to come in my Etsy shop in celebration of Spring.

Have a wonderful week!

Arizona Skies...

Last night just before dusk we had a small storm move into the Valley, lucky for us. That's when we get to see some of the most beautiful skylines.

With the sun setting, the clouds catch the last rays of sun and become the most gorgeous colors of purple and blues.

Arizona has it's faults, but this isn't one of them. Views like this make up for 120 degree days we endure during the summer months.

The sky colors here are often breathtaking.
