Sappy Sunday , Raggie Babies


Hi friends....
Today is officially my Sappy Sunday. I occasionally have
a girly moment where I really would like to lock myself in the bathroom with 
a Pepsi and a hot bubble bath, and cry myself to sleep (most of the time that room is the 
only room in the house that no one else comes in while I'm in there,lol)

Little story (if you're not interested, just skip this part).
My oldest brother lost his wife to brain cancer about 16 years ago. She was one 
of the kindest, most soft spoken, loving people I have ever known. Corinne taught 
me so much about grace and acceptance. I miss her! Today I miss her a lot for some reason.
Anyway, she loved dolls. After she passed away, we all got to choose one of her dolls
to keep. One of my most loved treasures by the way. 

Anywho, in memory of "Auntie C", I am going to start a new series tomorrow.
Corinne's Raggie Babies:)
Remember!!!!! Each image is posted for ONE DAY only!!!
If you miss one you can buy the bundle after I'm done with the series.

So far, they're looking SUPER cute:)
I don't usually give a heads up when I start a series, but I needed to let you
know where this bundle came from.

Miss Tanya


I am 35 years old and married to my high school sweetheart.  We have a beautiful 5 year old daughter named Abby who loves to stamp with me and is the light of my life.  I have been crafting for about 14 years now and have seen how much I have grown in those years.  I love the relaxation I get from it after a long day at work and love sharing my work in hopes to inspire others.

A question:)

HI friends:)
Once again I'm looking into expanding into another area,

I'm thinking about investing into some spiral binding equipment,
and selling colored and uncolored calendars, about me books, personalized color books, etc.

Let me know your opinion.

I finally have a minute to sit down and introduce you to my boutique friends:)
Stop in and check 'em out...
Be sure to leave 'em a little comment love, and
tell 'em you learned about them from me!
 
The first couple had the most AWESOME wood stuff!!!
I HAD to buy some of it:) SUPER awesome Shabby Chic stuff!
 
 
 
 
This next couple were so sweet and kind!
Their company is called
Heel Vitality
 
They gave me some samples of their products and I LOVE them!!!!
I got some stuff for cracked feet, all natural, and in a lotion stick!
(Yeah I HATE shoes! and I can't stand socks..... sadly my feet are a nightmare)
but I tried out their product and it is AWESOME!
I also got some stuff for sore muscles.... Oh man it's good!
 
GO check 'em out!
 
 
 
I bought Mile a carved walking stick for Christmas...
It's beautiful... I'll post a picture soon.
This man doesn't have a web site, but I do have his email.
If you're looking for something special, check into these:)
 
This one doesnt have a blog or website either, but her work is so awesome!
Mike bought me a ring from her... She stamps names and phrases into steel rings!
Mine has my girl's names on it! I LOVE it!!It never leaves my hand.
She's SUPER affordable too!!!!
 
 
Next up!!!!
Dry Creek Paracord!!!!
These bracelets, etc. are hand made, and AWESOME!
I watched her work on a belt.... She's a sweet and super friendly
girl.
Her bracelets and other products are woven out of parachute cording. They're awesome to have if
you are a hiker, camper, or just to put in an emergency kit. You can unravel them and use them as rope, etc
 
 
 
 
Last but not least:)
I was so excited to meet Trisha and Natalie!
They are just bursting with ideas and enthusiasm for what they do:)
I get so excited when I meet someone that has such a unique product, I'm headed over to etsy to buy one now.
They draw abstract doodles, and market them as an adult coloring book!
They are fantastic!!! They even have a few freebies!
I know they have an etsy shop, and I believe they are going to (or do) have
a TPT and TN shop as well.
