what i made wednesday

a quick note about blog awards: gentri lee left left me a note saying she has given me a blog award..."if i'm into that sort of thing." i'm not sure i am... what i mean by that is that i don't think the awards themselves have very much depth or detail. over the years i think they have become so watered down that they lack a history or real sense of meaning. what means the most to me, is that by "giving an award," one blogger is telling another that they respect and admire them. and is there really anything more wonderful then having someone tip their hat at you and rain compliments down upon you? i think not. and to that, i nod back at gentri lee, curtsy and say "but the pleasure is all mine!"

i have had so much fun in the past week expanding my etsy shop to include pink. this was a really big deal for me! i don't normally do colour and i really liked the way the shop looked in a black and white palette. but i must admit i had a lot of fun with the pink, and not only does my stationery shop look brighter - but i feel brighter too! or maybe that's because i'm attending/selling at/crafting at a craft show tonight! what's your take on the pink?

  6. Yay for pink! These are all so lovely! And I kind of had a feeling that you wouldn't be into it, that's why I mentioned it. haha! (see we've never met and I already can tell what you would and wouldn't like. creepy? Naw) And I kind of agree about them, but I like leading people to other blogs I love- so I accept them. haha!

  13. oh i know what you mean with the awards, i find it really tough because i don't want to post about them really because they have sort of become glorified chain letters, but then as you say it's so lovely that someone has given you one and you don't want to throw it back in their face!

    i love your stationary <3

    enjoy the craft show tonight
