Baby Gifts

Some of you who also follow my friend Gen over at Cabin Fevered Gem, may have noticed that she's sort of taken the summer off from blogging.  That's because she's been busy...growing a baby! 

Which she just had a week or so ago.  (You'll have to go to her blog to see if she's posting pics)

Of course, I couldn't pass up this chance to make a whole plethora of handmade baby gifts for her.

Check out the video if you want to see the inside of my very first paperbag scrapbook album!  I'm very excited about this project.  It took forever to make, but was so much fun to put together.
 
                               

I'll be posting the tutorial for the onesie on Friday so  make sure to come back to learn how to embellish your own~

Don't forget to enter the HAPPY BIRTHDAY giveaway going on until the end of August!

Hidden Treasures

If you're not part of the Etsy community (yet), you're missing out on an incredible place that is totally committed to the art of the handmade.  It's a wonderful place to find everything you need, or just want, while supporting fellow crafters and artists.  It's also just a treasure trove of  great ideas and inspiration.

For something new this year I thought I'd post a treasury of various Etsy sellers each week.  Click on the thumbnail to visit the shops and see what else you can find.  And while you're hanging out at Etsy you can feel free to visit me at the Etcetorize etsy shop~

If an item doesn't have a selling amount below it just means that it's already sold.  Check out the seller's store for similar items, you never know what you'll find!
