Tuesday Trades - MaybeKindaCrafty

MaybeKindaCrafty is a neat Etsy shop run by a great lady named Terra. She specializes in Scrabble jewelry. Back in October we did a little trade and I got this awesome necklace:

This necklace really describes me. I love to get excited about crafting, cooking, jewelry making, all of it! And then make things! hehehe Here is what Terra got from me:

I also have some pretty important news and it does have to do with trading. The Trade-a-Holics team on Etsy, through which I do almost all of these trades, has almost 4000 members. Recently the team leader asked if anyone would be interested in helping run the team as a team leader. I automatically said yes because I love the team and would never want the leaders to get burnt out. I mean, what would happen to the team then? Anyway, I am now a new team leader and am a direct underling of one of the teams founders. I will be working in the "trading issues and complaints department." I will also be in charge of the bad traders list.

I am so excited!

Clip it, Save it

Do you ever get tired of your messy favorites? I do. I have so many favorite websites....its embarrassing. And then I can never remember what I saw where when I want to find it again. I search and search!
Now there is a website that lets me save all my favorite websites into one page! clipix lets you clip and organize everything online! My first clipboard is full of crayon art...I secretly really want to try it!
 
Unlike some other websites clipix does a lot of work for you automatically. It fills in titles, prices, you name it! Really easy to use!

If you have any of the same problems with internet favorites than you should try clipix!
What do you think you will use clipix for?! Cloths? Videos? Crafts? Do-it-Yourself projects? Things to buy? I think the list can go on forever! You can share your clipboards with friends and you can take your clips with you through an iPhone app!
So, yeah! clipix is awesome!

Tuesday Trades - AllThatGlittersbyKML

Today, I want to tell you about a really really great trade I did for some Christmas presents! I would like to introduce you to Kristi the owner of AllThatGlittersbyKML!

Kristi makes all kinds of wonderful bath bombs and soaps. My younger sister always takes baths, so I thought, "well, this would be a nice present for her!"

Kristi makes her bath bombs in the shape of cupcakes! For a pastry chef sister - they are perfect! Not to mention the scents you can order! I ordered 2Cotton Candy, 2Toasted Marshmallow, 1Frosted Cupcake, 1Fresh Peach, 1Chocolate Brownie, and 1Raspberry. I also sent some of these to other great friends. I mean my sister could not have them all! They were so pretty and all smelled soooo good! Kristi does a fantastic job!

I guess it is time to share what Kristi ordered from me! 

I made this pretty ring for Kristi! She told me that, "A wonderful piece! Every detail was perfect and the packaging delightful! Thank you so much for a lovely transaction :)" I just love trading!
