Business got to the point where I just couldn't keep up on my own, so (since the company that my husband had been working for wanted him to be away from home 2 more nights a week) we decided to have him quit his job and do this with me full time. It's crazy, I know! But it was the best decision that we've made! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We not only have our &lt;a href="http://www.daisycreek.etsy.com/"&gt;Etsy&lt;/a&gt; sales, but we also are now getting busier on our &lt;a href="http://www.daisycreekdesigns.com/"&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; and are in 8 retail locations close to home in Northern California. We are working on getting a sales rep (or two!!) and look forward to branching out of our area. So... keep your eyes open for our awesome new designs - I will start posting them this week!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for being so supportive!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/51/03CB19C706402C78662A2D3C992917B6.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php" type="button_count" name="fb_share"&gt;Share&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;tweetmeme_style = 'compact';&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8733090137468496894-7874905131103931795?l=daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/feeds/7874905131103931795/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8733090137468496894&amp;postID=7874905131103931795' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8733090137468496894/posts/default/7874905131103931795'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8733090137468496894/posts/default/7874905131103931795'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/2011/07/were-back.html' title='We&apos;re Back!!'/><author><name>daisy creek designs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15260798732590173714</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SVM2_yZRx5I/AAAAAAAAAAo/dwI8UGjUy1w/S220/flower+with+words.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-z_vDliC_D5c/Ti-uJLva5BI/AAAAAAAAAX0/lLy23TL9WSg/s72-c/rainbow%2B7%2B-%2BCopy.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733090137468496894.post-7110277074446046374</id><published>2011-04-24T21:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-24T21:49:39.276-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Network Monday</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BSeZiuUEGSU/TbT89xIme4I/AAAAAAAAAXo/WIma8QFa66w/s1600/NetworkMonday.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599378374820002690" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BSeZiuUEGSU/TbT89xIme4I/AAAAAAAAAXo/WIma8QFa66w/s200/NetworkMonday.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; I am participating in my first Network Monday...

Here's what you do:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Go to http://www.mylivesignature.com/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Click on "Click Here To Start"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Select the first option - "Using the Signature Creation Wizard" (you can also choose to use your computer's mouse and write a signature or scan in your signature, but for this tutorial we will be using the signature creation wizard)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Type in what you want your signature to say... your name, a fun phrase, whatever! (I chose "Have a Daisy Day! ~Liz" for my blog... be creative!!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Choose the font... there are 120 different choices :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Choose the size&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Choose the color for your signature and/or the color for the background... if you don't want a color for the background, choose transparent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Choose a slope to your signature, if you'd like!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9.

Maybe due to ease of preparation or availability or maybe even because often times eggs would be found where people where hunting birds for food. Regardless, eggs are a part of our food history and the dish, Eggs Benedict, is certainly one with a fun story describing how it came to be.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;The origin of Eggs Benedict is thought to be one of two tales. Both occuring in the late 1800's at a posh New York hotel and both involve people with the last name Benedict. The first tale reports of a wealthy woman who was unable to find anything to her liking on the menu and together with the maitre d, concocted what we now know of as Eggs Benedict.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;The second, more whimsical tale, reports of a hungover Wall Street-er who made his way through a breakfast buffet slapping bacon and eggs on buttered toast and topping it with Hollandaise sauce. After seeing what he had done, the maitre d substituted ham for bacon and an english muffin for toast... making what we now know of as Eggs Benedict.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Which one is true? We'll never know! (But it sure makes for a great story, doesn't it???)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/51/03CB19C706402C78662A2D3C992917B6.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php" type="button_count" name="fb_share"&gt;Share&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8733090137468496894-4687751665649235075?l=daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/feeds/4687751665649235075/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8733090137468496894&amp;postID=4687751665649235075' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8733090137468496894/posts/default/4687751665649235075'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8733090137468496894/posts/default/4687751665649235075'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/2010/04/happy-eggs-benedict-day.html' title='HAPPY EGGS BENEDICT DAY!!'/><author><name>daisy creek designs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15260798732590173714</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SVM2_yZRx5I/AAAAAAAAAAo/dwI8UGjUy1w/S220/flower+with+words.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/S8gQm2FuXhI/AAAAAAAAAT8/bds_VzXSG5c/s72-c/eggs+benedict.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733090137468496894.post-1362722762074526640</id><published>2010-04-14T23:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-15T00:15:27.673-07:00</updated><title type='text'>THESE INCREDIBLE (not so edible), EDIBLE EGGS!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/S8a843EgM8I/AAAAAAAAATs/tQLbWc4a6eE/s1600/eggs+storyboard.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 258px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 255px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460259283274838978" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/S8a843EgM8I/AAAAAAAAATs/tQLbWc4a6eE/s200/eggs+storyboard.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;So Sweet!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(starting top left and moving clockwise)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.

Make cupcake batter according to the directions on the package. Place cupcake liners into cupcake trays and fill each one about half way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* * *&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. For each cupcake, roll 3 balls of aluminum foil (mine were about 1/2 inch wide) and place them between the tray and the liner, spaced equally around the cupcake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* * *&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Bake cupcakes according to the directions on the box, but for slightly less time because the cupcakes aren't as full. When we made ours, it was for about 5 minutes less than on the package. Use the toothpick to determine where the cupcakes are done or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* * *&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Let the cupcakes cool and then remove them from the trays.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* * *&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Mix some of the green food coloring with the white frosting until you achieve the desired color. Cover each cupcake with the green frosting and add a piece of green licorice that is about 2 inches long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* * *&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;** Here is the link to the clover cupcake recipe:&lt;br /&gt;http://familyfun.go.com/recipes/clover-cupcakes-687369/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* * *&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Confession:&lt;br /&gt;My daughter and I had SO much fun making these cupcakes and she is so excited to take them to school to share with her friends. After mixing up the cupcake mix, I realized that I had left my camera at my in-laws... they live over an hour away and it was too late to go get it. Sorry :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really do hope that you go check out this link - there is such an adorable picture of the finished product.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* * *&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know you will have as much fun making these as we did!!!

It's been a while since this has all happened, but I still wanted to share the news with you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After our family trip to Europe this past summer (2009), I had uploaded a bunch of photos on flickr so that I could share them with friends and family. I was shocked when I opened up my account and saw a message from a company named Schmap - they had seen my photo of the Notre Dame in Paris and were considering it for inclusion in their online map guide and asked if I would be interested in having it included.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not thinking that the photo would actually get chosen, I replied "of course!" and didn't think anything of it. Not long after, I got another message congratulating me on the inclusion of my photo....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so here it is - the link to the online guide with my picture:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.schmap.com/paris/tours_tour1/#p=5719&amp;amp;i=5719_247.jpg"&gt;http://www.schmap.com/paris/tours_tour1/#p=5719&amp;amp;i=5719_247.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CRAZY! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/51/03CB19C706402C78662A2D3C992917B6.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php" type="button_count" name="fb_share"&gt;Share&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;tweetmeme_style = 'compact';&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8733090137468496894-2565225569575683261?l=daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/feeds/2565225569575683261/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8733090137468496894&amp;postID=2565225569575683261' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8733090137468496894/posts/default/2565225569575683261'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8733090137468496894/posts/default/2565225569575683261'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/2010/02/ive-been-selected.html' title='I&apos;ve Been Selected...'/><author><name>daisy creek designs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15260798732590173714</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SVM2_yZRx5I/AAAAAAAAAAo/dwI8UGjUy1w/S220/flower+with+words.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/S3pQzxcYHBI/AAAAAAAAANc/vcTb24cqQ0Y/s72-c/schmap+photo.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733090137468496894.post-2820416530498679224</id><published>2010-01-20T23:48:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-21T00:44:15.230-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DIY Clip Kit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='daisy creek'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Imogen&apos;s Garden'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Daisy Creek Designs'/><title type='text'>Thank You Imogen's Garden!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;The last few days have been CRAZY around here - rain, rain, more rain, power outages (not us yet - knock on wood!), students who are stir crazy - literally! - and an incredibly lllooooooonnnnnngg list of things that I need to get done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;And then I get this lovely message from Anna over at &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/imogensgarden"&gt;Imogen's Garden&lt;/a&gt; letting me know that she's written about the DIY Clip Kits that I sent over to her and her daughters to try out.

You can see her photography site &lt;a href="http://kellyandersonphotography.com/index2.php"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;, her design site &lt;a href="http://www.kellyandersondesigns.net/index2.php"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt; and her blog &lt;a href="http://www.kellyandersonphotography.com/blog"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was so excited to see her first &lt;a href="http://kellyandersonphotography.com/blog/2010/01/preschool-rocks/"&gt;blog post &lt;/a&gt;in her Designer Spotlight Series featuring some of the pictures that she took with the &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=37688648"&gt;Preschool Rocks tee&lt;/a&gt; that I had sent her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are some more pictures in the works and I have to say, I am giddy with excitement!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/51/03CB19C706402C78662A2D3C992917B6.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="fb_share" type="button_count" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php"&gt;Share&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;tweetmeme_style = 'compact';&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8733090137468496894-7412549411196396978?l=daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/feeds/7412549411196396978/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8733090137468496894&amp;postID=7412549411196396978' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8733090137468496894/posts/default/7412549411196396978'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8733090137468496894/posts/default/7412549411196396978'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/2010/01/kelly-anderson-photography.html' title='Kelly Anderson Photography'/><author><name>daisy creek designs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15260798732590173714</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SVM2_yZRx5I/AAAAAAAAAAo/dwI8UGjUy1w/S220/flower+with+words.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733090137468496894.post-3669605112600793345</id><published>2010-01-13T22:44:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-18T12:19:30.961-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zuzu girl'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pony holders'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zuzu girl handmade'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='headband'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Daisy Creek Designs'/><title type='text'>One Of My Favorites... zuzu girl handmade</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.zuzugirl.etsy.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 26px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426484245258117570" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/S06-q5ndIcI/AAAAAAAAAMU/W6YD3NZbCgw/s200/ZZG-Banner+Big.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Kristi, the magician behind zuzu girl, was probably one of the first friends that I made on Etsy. I had joined the EtsyMoms team and noticed her banner and avatar right away. They were fresh and fun and after checking out her shop, I thought to myself - WOW! This lady is talented!! Lucky for me, she is just as sweet and we quickly started "talking" in the threads. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;A while back, I had listed my first Paint It Yourself tee and Kristi commented on how much she liked it. Hoping to get some good feedback from someone whose opinion I trusted and valued, I quickly sent one to her for her daughter Zuzu to enjoy. (see blog post here: &lt;a href="http://zuzugirlhandmade.blogspot.com/2009/11/paint-it-yourself.html"&gt;http://zuzugirlhandmade.blogspot.com/2009/11/paint-it-yourself.html&lt;/a&gt; ) The best part about it all was that she was sweet enough to send me a little somethin' somethin' in return. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426488142930302434" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/S07CNxk61eI/AAAAAAAAAMc/i7DPzBRQMNM/s200/zuzugirl+square.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, I know - it's been forever since she sent these darling goodies to me and I have not one good excuse for it taking me so long to post this. All I can say is that my darling, little girl (part dinosaur lover, part princess) LOVES this headband and pony holders!! She asks for them everyday! Everytime anyone sees her wearing them, she always gets compliments. Which then prompts her to want to wear them more! But that's ok :) I'd love to be able to send some sales her way!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SO.... if you love what she sent Paige, you HAVE to check out her shop! She has absolutely adorable accessories (say that 5 times fast!), an amazing eye for colors and an incredible attention to detail. You will not be disappointed!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/51/03CB19C706402C78662A2D3C992917B6.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="fb_share" type="button_count" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php"&gt;Share&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;tweetmeme_style = 'compact';&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8733090137468496894-3669605112600793345?l=daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/feeds/3669605112600793345/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8733090137468496894&amp;postID=3669605112600793345' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8733090137468496894/posts/default/3669605112600793345'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8733090137468496894/posts/default/3669605112600793345'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/2010/01/one-of-my-favorites-zuzu-girl-handmade.html' title='One Of My Favorites... zuzu girl handmade'/><author><name>daisy creek designs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15260798732590173714</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SVM2_yZRx5I/AAAAAAAAAAo/dwI8UGjUy1w/S220/flower+with+words.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/S06-q5ndIcI/AAAAAAAAAMU/W6YD3NZbCgw/s72-c/ZZG-Banner+Big.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733090137468496894.post-9146842876670881360</id><published>2009-12-30T22:48:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-30T22:51:52.595-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Cards Are Done...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SzxJuLtJzcI/AAAAAAAAAL0/fgGc7IOq9CQ/s1600-h/christmas+card+2009.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 160px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421289109212220866" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SzxJuLtJzcI/AAAAAAAAAL0/fgGc7IOq9CQ/s200/christmas+card+2009.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;and picked up from Costco... now I just need to mail them - UG!

I actually can't believe it... really, I can't! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It all started with the tree. You see, we normally go out "hunting for a tree" as my daughter calls it. We load up with snacks, drinks and the chain saw and go searching in the mountains about an hour away from home. But this year, we thought, let's see if we can find one on a lot. And we did. The most perfect tree that we've ever had - tall, thin and just the right fullness for our ornaments to hang. What made it even more perfect was it took us less than 5 minutes to find it, pay for it and load it in the truck.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We got it home... put it in the right place... PERFECT! We got out the lights the next evening and I started to put them on the tree - tip: if you hate the lights moving as much as I do, use ornament hooks as twisty ties to keep the lights where you want them to stay... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anyway... this is about where it all gets not so perfect :) The tree stayed 1/3rd lit for about 2 weeks - yes, I'm embarrassed to say it, the tree stayed that way until my Christmas break. About a day into break, I was able to get the tree lit, ornaments on and decorations out - it was great! I realized why I like the holidays so much - everything is so festive :) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And then, after finishing up the remaining few orders for Christmas (in between taking care of the little one who was sick and then myself once she got a bit better) I was finally able to get the gifts wrapped... on Christmas Eve. Crazy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What's even crazier?? Is that it's already over!! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It was so great seeing the reaction to Santa on our sweet little girl's face. Especially when she said to us, "Santa is so smart!" because he knew exactly what she had asked for (3 Muskateers Barbie and Santa Buddies movie - which didn't seem unreasonable to me!).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So... in the aftermath of Christmas, I will be spending the remainder of my time on vacation going through all her clothes and toys to see what we will keep and what will be donated. But, it was worth it - family and friends and the magic of Christmas!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Oh.... and did I tell you?? I'll also be making our holiday card, ordering a book from Shutterfly for my dad and making some jewelry for my sisters who all live in Norway (and who I'm hoping won't mind that their gifts are a bit late!!). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And my plan after that??

Most of the time, I'm driving when I'm heading past this and well, that would be insanity trying to hold a camera as I try to avoid the semi trucks blazing past!   But... it just so happened that my hubby was driving the car with us the other day and I was able to snap a picture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When it first went up (when it was still white) we were convinced that it would get tagged.  And sure enough, only a few days after it was painted this color, it was.  I wish I could post those pictures, but that would be inappropriate :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still shake my head and giggle everytime that I see it - especially since this olive orchard doesn't grow martini type olives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I'm just waiting for us to be on one of those TV shows!

But it's really quiet where we live and we've got incredible views of Mt. Shasta and Mt. Lassen on a clear day. Most of the time the benefits far out weigh the disadvantages of needing to drive 30 minutes EVERYTIME we need to buy something. Not much happens here - there is the occasional community event, but other than that it's pretty mellow.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;And then one day, we saw these workers filling fabric tubes with sand and wrapping them around a metal frame. My first thought?? They are building something to protect the well. They have their olive orchard on the corner of a major road that links two highways and it has been hit before. And then they kept going up and up and more and more round. And then one day, we drove by and saw that they had plastered around it and added the spear. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;What?!?! We're still waiting to see if they paint it like an olive (that would be the only thing that makes any sense what so ever) but so far this is it.... a big, huge white egg with a spear through it.

I'm so excited to share it with you!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quite a while ago, I noticed Smilebox on a friend's blog, &lt;a href="http://www.totzhatz.com/"&gt;totzhatz&lt;/a&gt;, and accidentally downloaded it.  Then for months and months, I'd get these little updates and little notes saying "come try me out"!  Well, yesterday morning, although I really didn't have the time for it, I decided to try it and LOVE IT!  It's so much fun and can't wait to have a bit more time to play around with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, for now... here's what I did... hope you love it as much as I do :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://smilebox.com/play/4d5441344e4467324d446b3d0d0a&amp;blogview=true&amp;campaign=blog_playback_link" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img width="386" height="303" alt="Click to play this Smilebox photobook: Check This Out!" src="http://smilebox.com/snap/4d5441344e4467324d446b3d0d0a.jpg" style="border: medium none ;"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.smilebox.com/?partner=google&amp;campaign=blog_snapshot" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img width="386" height="46" alt="Create your own photobook - Powered by Smilebox" src="http://www.smilebox.com/globalImages/blogInstructions/blogLogoSmileboxSmall.gif" style="border: medium none ;"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.smilebox.com/photobooks" target="_blank"&gt;Make a Smilebox photobook&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8733090137468496894-8065102537117750582?l=daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/feeds/8065102537117750582/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8733090137468496894&amp;postID=8065102537117750582' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8733090137468496894/posts/default/8065102537117750582'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8733090137468496894/posts/default/8065102537117750582'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/2009/08/one-word-wednesday-smilebox.html' title='One Word Wednesday...

One of the AMAZING moms (and I was so blessed because they were all amazing!!) I had in my kindergarten class last year offered to make the cupcakes for Paige's mermaid birthday party this June - and to think that she does this as a hobby!! They were incredible and tasted just as fantastic as they look!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Now here are a few other birthday pictures that I just had to add... well, just because! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368152042760476722" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/Sn-B11kGmDI/AAAAAAAAAI4/IzhACOtULhc/s200/DSCF5100.JPG" /&gt; When I started planning this mermaid party at little miss's dance studio, I knew that I wanted it to feel like the kids were underwater. And just about then was when I spotted some darling fish at Pottery Barn Kids. As amazing as they were, the price wasn't something I wanted to splurge on for a birthday party (3/$60) so I set out to make my own. With some paper lanterns from the dollar store and left over tulle from tutus I had made and some felt, this is what we got! Each one was a different color combination and they were perfect for the party (even though they did look a bit like piggies)!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368153437228573698" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/Sn-DHAXNJAI/AAAAAAAAAJI/8RGsO6EV2WY/s200/DSCF5103.JPG" /&gt;I also did a happy birthday banner that matched the colors of the party - you'd be proud of me, Kristi :) I used brads in the corners of each letter card and strung a piece of ribbon through the whole set. I think next time I might have ribbon on each one and tie them together... we'll see!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368157922897915826" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/Sn-HMGyHb7I/AAAAAAAAAJQ/jFdKrOKLR8U/s200/DSCF5108.JPG" /&gt; Not wanting to do the traditional party bags, mostly because I wanted to try to make a starfish mermaid wand, but also because it was summer vacation and I had all the time in the world... right?!?!? Well, not really, but I did enjoy doing these! I made the starfish part from colored felt and hand embroidered glass beads to them, added the tulle and wrapped the ribbon around the dowel (MUCH harder than it looks, by the way!) and voila! Here they are! I also drew the mermiad onto a plate pattern from a &lt;a href="http://www.makit.com/"&gt;Make A Plate&lt;/a&gt; kit I got at a kindergarten conference and had all the kids from the party sign it. I can't wait to send it in and get the actual plate!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368152884208924802" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/Sn-Cm0NC-II/AAAAAAAAAJA/MHWMGS5yfno/s200/DSCF5102.JPG" /&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;Maybe it's the teacher in me, but I always feel better when there's a great project to do! So... (in my spare time!! - Nicole, you'll get a giggle out of this one!) I went out and bought a Yudu personal screen printing machine and printed the mermaid design onto a t-shirt for each party goer. They turned out GREAT! I put out some small cupcake tins with fabric paint in each section, laid out some paint brushes and let them decorate away! They turned out so cute!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The party was a huge success and now there are so many more things I'm going to add to my shop... when I find some "extra" time - is that even possible?!?!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;THANKS KRISTI, for tagging me!

Among all the wealth of information that I had found was a thing called an etsy team.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;I was a little unsure as to what they really were, what kinds of things I'd need to do and how much of a time committment it would be. And finally, after months of looking through the list of teams, I decided to join one. And then two and then three!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;I have been so pleasantly surprised by the friendships that I have developed, as well as the abundance of support that I have found and continue, each and every day to be amazed by the amazing talent I am surrounded by!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Each week, I am going to feature one of the many talented ladies that I am continually inspired by.

My goal is to write at least a little something to go with each day's theme and today is what I'm going to call "Thankful Thursday"!  Although it's a little late in the day, I'm getting it done and that has to count for something, right?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;I have to say, THANK YOU... THANK YOU... THANK YOU, to a lovely friend and teammate, Sandra, owner of &lt;a href="http://www.amyrosedesigns.etsy.com/"&gt;AmyRoseDesigns&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.bloome.etsy.com/"&gt;Bloome&lt;/a&gt; on Etsy!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;She has the most darling bibs, Love Me Loveys and Snap n Wrap Covers around. Her fabrics are beautiful and the construction is perfection! She just recently opened a new shop called Bloome with the most adorable children's clothing!! Her impeccable taste in colors and patterns has moved seamlessly to her new shop!! Here are a few of my favorites:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 64px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364457890622981378" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SnJiB4cfxQI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/1PsbODmDOxM/s200/amyrosepics.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364458199480045714" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SnJiT3BwkJI/AAAAAAAAAHY/JkqG9x9BnvQ/s200/bloomepics.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Now, how is this connected to Thankful Thursday you ask?? Let me tell you! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Not only is this hardworking small business owner, faithful teammate and wonderful designer good at what she does, she is also a warm and helpful person - someone I am proud to call my friend!  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that she was about to hit 200 sales and I thought to myself, WOW!  What an accomplishment!!  And like anyone else would, I thought, I wonder how she did it.  So I asked!!   And right away Sandra made a list for me to follow of things that she has done to get the word out about her shop.  And as I'm gearing up for another school year, I am busy getting it all in place so that I can continue to follow her suggestions as life gets a little more complicated.   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;And the best part?!?!  As I am starting and trying new things, she has been there to bounce ideas off of and to get a second opinion from.  I have appreciated her honesty, even when it wasn't what I wanted to hear.  Every suggestion she has made is from the heart, from her own objective eye and is made because she wants me to succeed.  And the bottom line??  I trust her opinion!  I mean, who wouldn't with a record like hers!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;So.... THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, my dear friend!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8733090137468496894-4835138789919628254?l=daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/feeds/4835138789919628254/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8733090137468496894&amp;postID=4835138789919628254' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8733090137468496894/posts/default/4835138789919628254'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8733090137468496894/posts/default/4835138789919628254'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/2009/07/thankful-thursday.html' title='&quot;Thankful Thursday&quot;'/><author><name>daisy creek designs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15260798732590173714</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SVM2_yZRx5I/AAAAAAAAAAo/dwI8UGjUy1w/S220/flower+with+words.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SnJiB4cfxQI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/1PsbODmDOxM/s72-c/amyrosepics.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733090137468496894.post-5318009966883578038</id><published>2009-07-29T11:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-29T12:57:13.811-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='etsy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='daisy creek'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zuzu girl'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rhinestones'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='light box'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Amy Rose Designs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='new pictures'/><title type='text'>"One Word Wednesday"</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;LIGHT BOX!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SnCfnNDwi2I/AAAAAAAAAFw/YqlI0ngjOic/s1600-h/DSCF6154.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363962652067400546" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SnCfnNDwi2I/AAAAAAAAAFw/YqlI0ngjOic/s320/DSCF6154.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ok, so it's two words, but I just have to tell you about this!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ever since starting my etsy shop, I've been working on taking pictures that really showed off the designs. It's been a tough road and I've tried so many things... but then I saw the new and improved pictures that a friend/teammate Kristi, owner of &lt;a href="http://www.zuzugirl.etsy.com/"&gt;zuzugirl&lt;/a&gt;, had been doing. She had purchased a portable light box and got amazing photographs using it. It was then that I started thinking about getting one. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I had seen many sizes and types, as well as ones that had been handmade and just couldn't make up my mind. Do I bite the bullet and purchase one?? Pro being that it's portable and stores easily - Con being the price. Or do I make one myself?? Pro being the cost to make - Con being that it doesn't store well (unless you take it apart between taking pictures). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well, after getting some wonderful sales advice and a link to a homemade light box (&lt;a href="http://digital-photography-school.com/how-to-make-a-inexpensive-light-tent"&gt;http://digital-photography-school.com/how-to-make-a-inexpensive-light-tent&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://digital-photography-school.com/how-to-make-a-inexpensive-light-tent"&gt;school.com/how-to-&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://digital-photography-school.com/how-to-make-a-inexpensive-light-tent"&gt;make-a-inexpensive-light-tent&lt;/a&gt;) from another friend/teammate, Sandra, owner of &lt;a href="http://www.amyrosedesigns.etsy.com/"&gt;AmyRoseDesigns &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href="http://www.bloome.etsy.com/"&gt;Bloome&lt;/a&gt;, I decided to take advantage of the last couple of weeks of vacation and try it out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;So... rather than using a packing box and adding white paper to the inside, I decided to use foam core board. It was really easy - I used a fabric cutting ruler, so that I didn't have to mark each piece and a razor blade to cut it. After trying to cut through one board, I realized that all I needed to cut was the outer paper and then I can easily pull the inside part out. The only issue was it was a bit messy from the bits of foam. I decided to use white tissue paper that I had lying around rather than fabric because I didn't have any white fabric on hand, but will be interested to see the difference in photographs when I do get some. So far, I'm really loving the difference!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here are a couple of pics using white as my background: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SnCmcZ-EDHI/AAAAAAAAAGg/5uKCYzxmQ5M/s1600-h/DSCF6174.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363970163136007282" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SnCmcZ-EDHI/AAAAAAAAAGg/5uKCYzxmQ5M/s200/DSCF6174.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SnCm5nxLMMI/AAAAAAAAAGo/MP6k51w4jic/s1600-h/DSCF6157.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363970665056252098" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SnCm5nxLMMI/AAAAAAAAAGo/MP6k51w4jic/s200/DSCF6157.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SnCm5nxLMMI/AAAAAAAAAGo/MP6k51w4jic/s1600-h/DSCF6157.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SnCm5nxLMMI/AAAAAAAAAGo/MP6k51w4jic/s1600-h/DSCF6157.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I was SO happy with the clarity of the photographs and when I woke up this morning, I tried it again with some pretty metallicy (I know that's not a word!!) blue scrapbooking paper.

Now the easy part (right?!?!) - I just need to get the logo, avatar, shop set up and items listed. Well, maybe that's not the easy part, but it's so much easier now that I have a name!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Thanks so much, rozzissweetpeas, for your creative suggestion!!

I have been trying for MONTHS to come up with a store/shop name that I like that will be strickly items from Daisy Creek Designs that are ready to go - ready to ship - discounted - call it what you will... items that I've made for craft shows and are still around. They must go! And I need a shop just for them - it's too hard for my brain to keep it all together anymore and I NEED YOUR HELP!!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;I'm heading to Europe on the 19th to see my dad and need my shop up and going before I leave, so I decided to have a contest to come up with a name. I'd like, if possible, for it reflect the "mother store" Daisy Creek Designs, I'd like for it to reflect that the items are finished/discounted/ready to go and I'd also like for the name to be fun - a play on words maybe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Possible names can be submitted to me by leaving a comment to this post.  You must have these to me by Friday night (June 12th) at midnight pst. I will then post the top 5 that I like the best here, in a new post on this blog. Voting will go until Monday night (June 15th) at midnight pst and the winner will be announced on Tuesday, June 16th.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;The best part?!?! The winner will recieve a FREE rhinestone tee - infant, child or adult - any style, color, size with any design... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Up for the challenge!??!?!

Meet Lizzy and Jo! These two darlings are made by an etsy baby team member and a friend ImogensGarden (&lt;a href="http://www.imogensgarden.etsy.com/"&gt;www.imogensgarden.etsy.com&lt;/a&gt; and they are simply precious!!!&lt;br /&gt;One evening on the etsy thread, I saw a post from ImogensGarden and it was asking for ideas for names. So, on a whim, I sent her a convo offering my nickname "Liz" and my middle name "Jo" thinking that neither of them sounded very good for a wooden doll.&lt;br /&gt;I'm now so glad I sent the message because look and these sweet little girls :) The one in the blue is Lizzy and the one in the red is Jo. And it's so fun to see them so close together because my hubby calls me that (Lizzy Jo that is!) The other part that I love is that each of them is carrying a daisy (and my shop is Daisy Creek)! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, go by and dance around in the garden, Imogens Garden, that is!!&lt;br /&gt;www.imogensgarden.etsy.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8733090137468496894-4519165678559656860?l=daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/feeds/4519165678559656860/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8733090137468496894&amp;postID=4519165678559656860' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8733090137468496894/posts/default/4519165678559656860'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8733090137468496894/posts/default/4519165678559656860'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/2009/03/meet-lizzy-and-jo-these-two-darlings.html' title=''/><author><name>daisy creek designs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15260798732590173714</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SVM2_yZRx5I/AAAAAAAAAAo/dwI8UGjUy1w/S220/flower+with+words.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SauR-8yF0CI/AAAAAAAAAEM/Uza8QOfR9zE/s72-c/Jo+wooden+doll.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733090137468496894.post-5093792391436728924</id><published>2009-02-16T22:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-16T22:53:31.996-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Facebook</title><content type='html'>I have always been a bit unsure of all this online stuff... myspace, facebook, blogging, twitter and other online social networking sites.  It's taken me a while to warm up to the blog - mostly because I have never wanted to be impersonal, but haven't wanted to give too much of my life to strangers.  Because, let's be honest here, we definately spend more time reading blogs of people we haven't actually met than of our close friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, while I was on twitter, (which I still don't really get, except that I may have "met" some business connections today) I clicked on a link about what has been happening on facebook.  SO DISTURBING!!!  Here's the link:  &lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,494064,00.html"&gt;http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,494064,00.html&lt;/a&gt;   I am so glad that I haven't gotten into that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now don't get me wrong, I've heard of several friends who have been able to find people who they haven't been in touch with for a long time and in that respect, I think that the process is great.  But, I'm so glad that I know what I know now before getting on there.  I have a friend (whom I LOVE!!  Hey Tracy!!) and she had asked me to get on facebook to catch up with high school friends.  Am I curious, sure.  Would I love to get in touch with people again, sure.  But do I have the time to really interact with everyone I find or everyone who finds me?  not so much.  I can barely keep up with regular email with the people I see all the time! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am I saying that I will never do facebook?  no, I'm not saying that.  What I'm saying is that I'm so glad that I saw this article first.  Now I will be so much more careful - especially with regard to personal information and photographs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you read the article and become more aware!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8733090137468496894-5093792391436728924?l=daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/feeds/5093792391436728924/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8733090137468496894&amp;postID=5093792391436728924' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8733090137468496894/posts/default/5093792391436728924'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8733090137468496894/posts/default/5093792391436728924'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/2009/02/facebook.html' title='Facebook'/><author><name>daisy creek designs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15260798732590173714</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SVM2_yZRx5I/AAAAAAAAAAo/dwI8UGjUy1w/S220/flower+with+words.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733090137468496894.post-2962412648490370456</id><published>2009-02-16T10:27:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-16T10:37:19.214-08:00</updated><title type='text'>I Just Can't Help Myself!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SZmwtpyNN0I/AAAAAAAAADA/lf5ZY8zSEqc/s1600-h/DSC01326.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303464334562506562" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SZmwtpyNN0I/AAAAAAAAADA/lf5ZY8zSEqc/s320/DSC01326.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;My daughter has REALLY been into dressing up and is turning into a real fashion icon :)   The part that has been difficult is that she has been completely stripping her closet and when we go into her room, we are finding all sorts of partially worn clothing items strewn around.  Most of the time it's cute and she's been coming up with some crazy outfits.  Other times, I just want to curl up in my bed and go to sleep - so much time to sort through everything and figure out what is really dirty.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But... this morning she has been a doll :)  It's still rainy and windy outside and my little one is definately an outdoor kind of girl (don't let the tutu fool you!) and it has been REALLY hard for her to stay inside.  So when she started picking things out of her room to put on, I just let her.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And this is what she came up with: red long sleeve shirt, mom's under-roos (anyone remember those) that my mom had saved, boys Cars underwear (that you can't see - it's a shame too), the tutu, mismatched socks and white patent leather shoes from last Easter that really don't fit anymore (but don't tell her that)!!!  Just remember this girl... she'll be all over the front pages of many a magazine when she gets older - I just hope it's not all over the "Worst Dressed" list!!!  :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8733090137468496894-2962412648490370456?l=daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/feeds/2962412648490370456/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8733090137468496894&amp;postID=2962412648490370456' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8733090137468496894/posts/default/2962412648490370456'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8733090137468496894/posts/default/2962412648490370456'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/2009/02/i-just-cant-help-myself.html' title='I Just Can&apos;t Help Myself!!'/><author><name>daisy creek designs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15260798732590173714</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SVM2_yZRx5I/AAAAAAAAAAo/dwI8UGjUy1w/S220/flower+with+words.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SZmwtpyNN0I/AAAAAAAAADA/lf5ZY8zSEqc/s72-c/DSC01326.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733090137468496894.post-6013033141768520758</id><published>2009-02-16T00:10:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-16T00:13:07.600-08:00</updated><title type='text'>A New Review!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SZkfgFpNcYI/AAAAAAAAAC4/JIO2UDHQccA/s1600-h/jojosplacelinkbutton%5B1%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303304672336769410" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 125px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 125px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SZkfgFpNcYI/AAAAAAAAAC4/JIO2UDHQccA/s320/jojosplacelinkbutton%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;I'm so excited about this review!

But have you asked yourself what your government is doing to protect your children from lead contained in toys? The answer? They're banning toys, taking books from schools and libraries, hurting low income families, killing entrepreneurial spirit and risking putting the economy in an even greater depression than we've seen in decades. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I'd like to introduce you to their solution: the CPSIA.Do you know about the CPSIA? No? Then I ask you to take a few minutes to find out about it.The CPSIA stands for Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, a new set of laws that will come into effect on 10 February, 2009 and will impact many, many people in a negative way. Make no mistake, this is very real. View it for yourself. If Forbes, the American Library Association and numerous other media are paying attention, perhaps you should too. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;How will these new laws affect you? Well, here are a few examples: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To the Parents of Young Students:&lt;/strong&gt; Due to the new law, expect to see the cost of school supplies sky rocket. While those paper clips weren't originally intended for your student to use, they will need to be tested now that your 11-year-old needs them for his school project. This law applies to any and all school supplies (textbooks, pencils, crayons, paper, etc.) being used by children under 12.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To the Avid Reader:&lt;/strong&gt; Due to the new law, all children's books will be pulled from library and school shelves, as there is no exemption for them. That’s okay though, there's always television. Our children don’t need to learn the love of reading after all. Read the article from the American Library Association &lt;a href="http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/?p=1322" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/?p=1322&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To the Lover of All Things Handmade:&lt;/strong&gt; Due to the new law, you will now be given a cotton ball and an instruction manual so you can make it yourself since that blanket you originally had your eye on for $50 will now cost you around $1,000 after it's passed testing. It won't even be the one-of-a-kind blanket you were hoping for. Items are destroyed in the testing process making one-of-a-kind items virtually impossible. So that gorgeous hand-knit hat you bought your child this past winter won’t be available next winter. Check out these listings for examples:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=sr_list_10&amp;amp;listing_id=19852075"&gt;http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=sr_list_10&amp;amp;listing_id=19852075&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19883352"&gt;http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19883352&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To the Environmentalist:&lt;/strong&gt; Due to the new law, all items in non-compliance will now be dumped into our already overflowing landfills. Imagine not just products from the small business owners, but the Big Box Stores as well. You can't sell it so you must toss it. Or be potentially sued for selling it. You can't even give them away. If you are caught, it is still a violation.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To the Second-Hand Shopper:&lt;/strong&gt; Due to the new law, you will now need to spend $20 for that brand new pair of jeans for your 2-year old, rather than shop at the Goodwill for second hand. Many resale shops are eliminating children's items all together to avoid future lawsuits.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To the Entrepreneur:&lt;/strong&gt; Due to this new law, you will be forced to adhere to strict testing of your unique products or discontinue to make and/or sell them. Small businesses will be likely to be unable to afford the cost of testing and be forced to close up shop. Due to the current economic state, you'll have to hope for the best when it comes to finding a new job in Corporate America. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To the Antique Toy Collector:&lt;/strong&gt; Due to the new law, you'd better start buying now because it's all going to private collection and will no longer be available to purchase. “Because the new rules apply retroactively, toys and clothes already on the shelf will have to be thrown out if they aren't certified as safe.” &lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123189645948879745.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123189645948879745.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To the American Economy:&lt;/strong&gt; Already struggling under an economy that hasn’t been this weak in decades, the American economy will be hit harder with the inevitable loss of jobs and revenues from suppliers, small businesses and consumers. The required testing is far too costly and restrictive for small businesses or individuals to undertake. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To the Worldwide Economy:&lt;/strong&gt; Due to this new law, many foreign manufacturers have already pulled out of the US market. You can imagine the impact of this on their businesses. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;If you think this is exaggerating, here is a recent article from Forbes&lt;a href="http://www.forbes.com/2009/01/16/cpsia-safety-toys-oped-cx_wo_0116olson.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.forbes.com/2009/01/16/cpsia-safety-toys-oped-cx_wo_0116olson.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;And for those of you prepared to be stupefied and boggled, The New Law &lt;a href="http://www.cpsc.gov/about/cpsia/cpsia.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.cpsc.gov/about/cpsia/cpsia.html&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Did you know?

I have known people who had them and never really "got it" and although I most of my family lives far away, it just didn't seem like the kind of thing that they would be intereseted in.  And then I started putting all the (business) pieces together - how blogging about yourself gets others to blog about you and .... eventually your search engine rating gets raised.  So, I looked around at different etsy team member blogs and thought, "well, this might not be so bad!" :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;The first blog entry was the hardest.  Getting myself started... UG!  How much do I tell about myself - am I telling too much or not enough?!?!?  And then a couple of promotions organized by one of my etsy teams (etsybaby) came up and I thought this would be an easy thing to write about.  And just as I started getting into the grove (my goal was to write once a week).....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;more and more information started coming out about the ramifications of CPSIA (&lt;a href="http://www.cpsc.gov/about/cpsia/cpsia.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.cpsc.gov/about/cpsia/cpsia.html&lt;/a&gt;).  And at first I kept thinking that it will all get changed for sure.  This had to be a joke!  No one in their right mind would allow this to happen to so many small businesses!  So, I waited and started reading up, and waited, and did more reading, and waited some more, and started reading about people starting to test to be compliant, and kept waiting, and read more about getting MSDS (is that right?!?!?) sheets to prove the lack of lead, and I kept on waiting....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;you could say that I am still waiting ;)  I've had a few sleepless nights, I've started becoming more active in the fight against it and I've really started thinking:  What am I going to do??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;I just start to think that I have it all worked out (at least until August when the law gets worse) and then I get more and more confused.  So.... for those of you who might actually read this,  bear with me!!  I still have absolutely no idea what I am doing :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8733090137468496894-1636281366402170230?l=daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/feeds/1636281366402170230/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8733090137468496894&amp;postID=1636281366402170230' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8733090137468496894/posts/default/1636281366402170230'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8733090137468496894/posts/default/1636281366402170230'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/2009/01/to-sell-or-not-to-sell-that-is-question.html' title='To Sell or Not to Sell, That is the Question!!'/><author><name>daisy creek designs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15260798732590173714</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SVM2_yZRx5I/AAAAAAAAAAo/dwI8UGjUy1w/S220/flower+with+words.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733090137468496894.post-4628730729299800937</id><published>2008-12-31T22:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-31T22:57:51.640-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SVxnt9oIvII/AAAAAAAAABg/lz870k84rrw/s1600-h/etsyBABYsave500.gif"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286214101960801410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 235px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 222px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SVxnt9oIvII/AAAAAAAAABg/lz870k84rrw/s320/etsyBABYsave500.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Team EtsyBABY always comes up with great promotions and this one is no different!

I guess I'll be learning as I go!! But first, I should introduce myself...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;My name is Liz and I own a small business called daisy creek designs. I have been doing this for about a year and a half and have learned so much! It all started when I purchased a rhinestone t-shirt for a friend's daughter for $35 and I thought to myself, "I can do that!" So I made some as Christmas gifts and now here we are! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;I have refined the way that I do designs, have done a ton more custom logos and have really gotten to the point where I love my packaging - finally! But that's what it's all about, right?!?! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;My purpose in having this blog is to promote new products and designs, do monthly (and hopefully in the future, bi-monthly) giveaways and contests, as well as promoting other favorite shops.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;So... welcome and check back soon!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8733090137468496894-722086657667488815?l=daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/feeds/722086657667488815/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8733090137468496894&amp;postID=722086657667488815' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8733090137468496894/posts/default/722086657667488815'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8733090137468496894/posts/default/722086657667488815'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/2008/12/my-first-real-post.html' title='My First Real Post'/><author><name>daisy creek designs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15260798732590173714</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SVM2_yZRx5I/AAAAAAAAAAo/dwI8UGjUy1w/S220/flower+with+words.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SVM1VUsAq2I/AAAAAAAAAAc/vNPzmNqwDBM/s72-c/dcd_welcome.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733090137468496894.post-7700824977581327352</id><published>2008-11-29T23:34:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-29T23:35:27.712-08:00</updated><title type='text'>I'm not quite ready yet!</title><content type='html'>Thanks for visiting my new blog... please come back soon to see all my new products!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8733090137468496894-7700824977581327352?l=daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/feeds/7700824977581327352/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8733090137468496894&amp;postID=7700824977581327352' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8733090137468496894/posts/default/7700824977581327352'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8733090137468496894/posts/default/7700824977581327352'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://daisycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/2008/11/im-not-quite-ready-yet.html' title='I&apos;m not quite ready yet!'/><author><name>daisy creek designs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15260798732590173714</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5JyRTq0PuQo/SVM2_yZRx5I/AAAAAAAAAAo/dwI8UGjUy1w/S220/flower+with+words.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
