A new start for my creative soul

    Well, this is going to be the new start for my creative journey! Here I will be posting things I have made to sell, to give as gifts, sales I find online and in store for craft supplies and such, craft hauls, new youtube video's I have uploaded, cool blogs I find or things I want to share from blogs I already keep up with, creations from my crafty friends, poems & short stories I write, drawings I draw... basically, anything that takes creativity or anything else I wanna post here! Cause, this IS "my" blog after all right ya'll? That means I have freedom to post whatever I want ! haha
    I won't actually be opening my Etsy store till after the first of the year though, so don't worry about checking that out right now. I need to make it through the holidays first and I kind of want to build up a stockpile of different items to put IN the store as well! It will include everything from paper crafting, to polymer clay creations, to jewelry, to mixed media art, and 100 shades of things in between!
    If you do not know me in real life, you might want to know that although I am a stay at home Momma and wife, that does NOT mean that I have hours and hours to craft! I have some pretty serious health issues that prevent me from doing so, as much as I would LOVE to craft from daylight till dawn!
    You also need to know that things I put in my Etsy will NOT be mass produced by ANY means! Most of what I will offer is "one of a kind" and will be sold first come, first serve. If you saw something you would like and missed getting it for yourself, you may contact me and ask if the item can be made again similarly to the one you saw. If I can do it, I will. If I can't, please understand that I do not deny you to be mean, but that I either do not have the same products to make the item, or I do not remember how I made the item! Simple as that!
    You also must realize that handmade items are often fragile and should be handled with great care. I do try to make everything as sturdy and durable as I can, but that does not mean they are 10 foot tall and bullet proof, so PLEASE be careful with the items you purchase! Anything made using Hot Glue , Polymer Clay , or Plastics should not be subjected to high heat. Anything made with paper, inks, paints,or  polymer clay should not be allowed to get wet. I will generally post these type of things under each item listed for sale, but if for some reason I do not, just use some good common sense people! :)
   Ok, I am off to get some feeling back in my legs and feet! I have sat here far too long tonight and I need to move around some!! Hope you all have a GREAT Thanksgiving holiday if you are in the USA! Hold tight to all of your blessings and remember to thank your Maker for them because they can be taken from you in the length of a breath!
