We Will Always Have Paris

JudiKins Sparkle Sweepers Now Available!

After Suni's review of the Martha Stewart Glitter Tray, I received e-mails from readers asking where they can find the JudiKins Sparkle Sweeper.  Well, ladies... I just listed them in my Etsy store!  Head on over and treat yourself to the best glitter/embossing powder/pigment cleaner-upper around.  It's one of the few products that Suni and I BOTH give two thumbs up.  They are only $6 each (before shipping) and a must-have tool.  Click here to check it out!

I had to order another one for myself because our newest kitty "Fat Charlie" loves mine and keeps finding it, no matter where I hide it!  Now she can have her own...

Blossom Book Back In Stock

I had just enough time this week to whip up one beautiful Spring-themed Blossom Book kit for the 'ol Etsy store.  This pink/green chipboard album has 12 pages (6 fronts and 6 backs) for you to decorate and embellish to your heart's content.

You'll find the kit in my Etsy store and I'll try to create a few more over the next couple of weeks.

Bow Makers Available On Etsy

During my winter break I had a number of requests for Bow Makers.  I've braved the boxes in our storage room and found a new box of those handy dandy devices for making the perfect bow.  You'll find them in my Etsy store now!

As I start my spring cleaning, I'm sure I'll unearth a ton of goodies to put in my Etsy store.  Plus, I'll be re-releasing some favorites (the Blossom Book is perfect for Spring).  Stay tuned as I add more!

New Nancy Drew Date Book Kits Added To Etsy

Happy New Year!  I've had some requests for additional Nancy Drew Date Book kits for those of you trying to get organized.  I had a little time this morning, so I added a couple new books to my Etsy Store:

Current 2013 kits include:

The Ghost of Blackwood Hall (SOLD)

The Mystery of the 99 Steps

The Mystery of the Brass Bound Trunk

The Clue in the Old Stagecoach

For those of you looking for refill kits for your previous kits, please drop me an e-mail at [email protected].

Additional Nancy Drew Date Books Added To Etsy

I'm still receiving requests for additional Nancy Drew Date Books for 2012, so I've added a few new kits to the store.  For those of you that are (ahem...) running late in getting organized, you'll be thrilled to know that these Date Books include pages through January 2013, so you'll still get to enjoy Nancy for a year!

The Secret Of The Wooden Lady kit includes beautiful green and dusty mauve papers & embellishments.  I love the ominous water on the front cover -- great for the boating enthusiast or anyone who loves the water!  You'll find it here.

The Invisible Intruder kit offers up sky blue and espresso brown papers & embellishments.  The cover is classic Nancy Drew... perplexed Nancy and creepy background.  Fantastic!  You'll find it here.

I had a few others prepared, but they sold before I could even get them to Etsy.  These are probably the last that I will put together before this Fall.  Grab them while they last!

Additional Nancy Drew Date Book Added To Etsy

New Years Eve is around the corner and I'm working to fill custom Nancy Drew Date Book orders.  I have only been able to add one more kit to my store this week, but it's a classic!:

#15 in the series, The Haunted Bridge is full of everything we love about Nancy Drew -- jewel thieves, ghosts and her best pals Bess & George.  The papers & embellishments in this kit are a wonderful blend of greens and browns -- perfect for every day in 2012.

As a reminder, time is running out to order your refill kits for your previous years' Date Books.  Be sure to order yours today!

Happy shopping!

'Tis The Season For Nancy Drew Date Books!

I love making Nancy Drew Date Book kits because I know that they will make someone happy for a whole year!  It is fun to mix & match paper/ribbons to each cover, and coming up with something that will make the owner smile.  I just added three new kits (and more refill kits) to my Etsy store.  Check out these beautiful covers:

The Mystery Of The Fire Dragon
(gorgeous with cheery reds/yellows/oranges/greens on the inside)

The Mystery At The Ski Jump
(preppy plaids rule in this book!)

The Clue In The Crossword Cipher
(soothing blues & browns in this beauty)

Half Price Christmas Scrabble Tile Bracelet Kits!

Looking for a last minute Christmas gift for a teacher, co-worker or friend (or even yourself)?  My Christmas Scrabble Tile Bracelet kits are now in my Etsy store at a reduced rate of $20/kit.  That's half off!  I'm desperate to clean out my storage area to make room for new kits in the new year, so these kits are priced to sell!

You'll find kits for:

White Christmas

A Christmas Story

It's A Wonderful Life

as well as my circus-themed
"Greatest Show On Earth"

Happy shopping!

Nancy Drew Date Book (and Refills!) Available On Etsy

My poor 2 year-old is sick (again) this week, so I'm falling farther and farther behind in getting my Nancy Drew Date Books out this year.  I was able to whip this one up this week and it is a fantastic cover!  I love the old school feel of the linen cover. 

For those of you who have purchased the Nancy Drew Date Books in the past and are looking to refill your book for 2012, refills are now available as well.  If you've made the book for a friend, the instructions are easy enough to follow along that they should be able to refill their own book -- easy peasy!

You'll find all of these goodies in my Etsy store.

Additional Goodies In My Etsy Store

I'm still clearing out boxes from the storage area of my basement.  I added a couple additional stash sale listings for October (including a ton of 7 Gypsies items) and then discounted all remaining stash sales by 1/2 price.  You'll find all the stash sales here.

The two Nancy Drew Date Books I added last week, were snapped up right away.  Here are two more for you:

 
The first book in the series, The Secret Of The Old Clock, is the most readily available and the cover that seems to make everyone I know sigh and remember a time when you could spend the whole day reading.  Everyone had this book and it has always been a popular cover in my kits.  You'll find it here.

 
The Mystery at the Ski Jump is a great cover for anyone who loves the snow and skiing.  The primary colors and a preppy plaid spine ribbon make this a great gift.  I had one of these covers in a kit last year and it flew off the shelves.  You'll find it here.

I am hoping to finish up my new Be Merry Holiday Planner kit before I head off for Disney World in a couple of weeks.  More Nancy Drew kits will be on their way once I get back.  I think I enjoy making the kit as much as people love having the planner!
