Can I have your attention please? I've got some BIG news!
MY LOVE AND I ARE GETTING MARRIED!! On Monday, December 28th, we will finally tie the knot after 7 wonderful years together.You may have witnessed the confusion over whether a traditional wedding was what we really wanted in this post, but we've got it all figured out now. We came to the conclusion that eloping was what we wanted to do, but then we had to decide where. We've been researching/pricing our options, and doing a little bit of soul-searching to determine

I caught a shooting star!
That's right! I saw it glittering through the sky, so I whipped out my wire spool and lassoed that baby right on down to Earth. I was nice enough to catch one for you too!I made these necklaces out of polymer clay, tons of glitter, and thin wire wrapped tightly around the star for a "caged" look.

I just finished decorating my crafty little corner with a few new things, so I thought it might be a good time to show my lovely readers what I'm workin' with.My space may be small, but I'll give you a tour of it all the same. :-)(1) This is the corner of my fiance's computer desk. While I work at my desk, he sits next to me. That's my favorite thing about my craft space. ♥(2) You may recognize this vintage shelf from my Indie Emporium post, but it's servi
