Blog Neglector

Ok ya so it's been awhile since I have posted! Lots of new things have happened in the past 2 months!
I got a new puppy right after Christmas. Her name is Hailey and she was born on Halloween. She is a miniature poodle and the cutest little thing ever. She's always running around and wanting to play which leaves me little time to craft lately. And you can't do any kind of crafting around her because she loves to play with everything. Isn't she a cutie pie?

When you whistle...


Also this month my mushrooms were in the magazine "Shop 4 Kids"! I was so excited to see the screen shot. Can't wait to get the actual magazine to check it out for myself.

Mushroom Delight in Shop 4 Kids!


I've also been busy working on my website Mushroom Delight.com. I use to do some webdesign stuff acouple of years ago and thought I might try and get back into it. It's so much work though and I have to get used to all the codes and stuff again. It's taken me a good 3-4 weeks at work to finally get it somewhat finished. And I'm still working on some new mushroom items and misc items to put in there. I still have my etsy shop though!
I hope that everyone else has been doing good and keeping busy! Now I need to go read some blogs and get caught up!

Day of fun!

I finally got our Christmas tree done up today!

and I've been working on a scarf that is just about done!

We made chocolate covered pretzels yummy!

And I made Holiday Snack Mix super duper yummy!

Here's how I make the Holiday Snack Mix:
Add the following in a big bowl and mix everything together.
1 Bag of Kennel Popcorn (popped)
1 Cup M&M's
1 Cup Peanuts
2 Cups Chex Mix
2 Cups Cherrios
1 1/2 Cup White Almond Bark
After you mix it all together let it sit for about 20 minutes and mix again to loosen the harding of the Almond Bark.
Done..ENJOY!

I've been having fun...

how about you? I've been busy with all sorts of things and stuffed up from a cold I think I got in a convo with Maree LOL. She has made me a new holiday themed etsy banner that is just the cutest! I want to keep it up all year round. Go check it out in my etsy shop!

I've also made some new houses that are glittery and pastely. I need to cut some more houses so I can make some ornaments before it is to late. But I'm behind and haven't even gotten my Christmas tree up yet.

I've been in the chat on etsy and found some really cute shops and friends in there. Yesterday we played a game and did a little giveway and I won these cute donut stud earrings from glamasaurus! I'm going to add them to the package I am sending my stepdaughter for Christmas. She's going to love them! glamasaurus is also holding a Big Fat Blog Giveaway so you should definitely run on over there and enter! If you win then you get one of her beautiful custom collage necklaces! Wonder if she makes mushroom collage necklaces?

Im off to catch some snooze! I want to make some soup later. It's been so cold out and some warm yummy soup might be what I need to kick this cold in the butt. tata :)

Happy December!

I hope everyone had a yummy Thanksgiving Day and got their belly full of all the good fixin's to be had! I had a very nice day cooking, eating, and watching movies with my brother while my husband was passed out. We watched Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 but I had never seen Part 1 so I watched it on Friday. I really loved the movie and hope they come out with a Part 3.

Yesterday I made Leftover Turkey Soup which turned out to be a good day to make it since it was rainy, cloudy, and cold. I make mine with leftover turkey, bacon, white corn, potatoes, wild rice. And serve it with some warm yeast rolls. Jeremy (that's my husband) has been asking me for it the whole month of November! Needless to say he's a pretty happy camper now!

As far as shop news the FREE Shipping is still in effect until 12am tonight and since today is the 1st I have taken $1.00 off every item in my etsy shop. So get on over there and get the mushroom you want and need before 12am tonight!

I'd also like to send a Congratulations to Digital Misfit who won the Custom Colored Mushroom Giveaway from Maree's Wednesday Giveaway! Also Congratulations to Jeannine aka MamaFeelgood who won a Wooden Snowman Ornament from Funky Finds November Giveaway!

The month of December is already a busy one and I have lots to do and prepare for. Stay tuned for more later! Enjoy your Day!

Come along with me!

I found some really cute sites tonight while surfing around the internet! Let's go shopping!

Wouldn't you feel loved eating off this plate of hearts? Emma Bridgewater carries polka dots, christmas prints and so many more prints in just about everything! I would like everything please!

Did you know Linen & Things is closing??? Right now they have some 50, 30, & 25% off bedding, bath, and some cookware things!

I collect all kinds of coffee cups and mugs and I love the whimsy style in Village Clayworks collections! I know Beth would love this owl toe bowl but I love the cute little birds mug!

I've been looking for a picture or mirror to go above our bed but I'm thinking about going with a decal like this one from Badass Custom Decal. I did a search for the decals and it's the only one so far that I really like. Did you know you can put decals on your toilet?

Alright...Im done shopping for now!


Oh I have to add LOOK how cute these Bento Box Gifts are!! I want them all!

Eye Candy (FAT FREE yup yup)

I have finally finished what was suppose to be a day project! Turned it into a week long one! Im in love with the way they came out and I definitely will be making more since I know how I want them now. Oh and if you didn't figure it out... they are mini elf stockings (or what Rita called them elf socks *hehe*) I used fabric for the base part, chenille fabric for the top. And at the last minute I crocheted a little hanger part instead of ribbon because I forgot my ribbons at home (jackpot LOL), and the pompoms I made using yarn. It's the first time I ever attempted making pompoms and I so want to make more!


Mini Elf Stockings


Now that I am finished with the "elf socks" I want to make me a scarf (or atleast try)! It's going to be in this super super bright turquoise, hot pink, red, and purple. Totally not the colors I would normally wear. But I saw this really beautiful one at the mall last week and I wanted it so bad but it was $50 bucks UGH! The yarn I got is the same colors as the one I wanted I just hope it comes out pretty like the one I saw. So I'm off to have my hour affair with "TOP CHEF" that came on last night and see if this scarf thing is going to work!! Man I love this show! Any one else watching the new season?
