New Name Giveaway!!!

Since it's creation I've been unsatisfied with the name of my shop. It was a snap judgement, I very much wanted to open my shop. I picked the owl theme because I love owls, people love owls, and my great gram always wore a big bulky owl necklace that I loved. She loved owls too :) I'd like to keep some sort of owl in the name. I am open to any and all suggestions however!

So this is how I'll work this...

I will give away a LARGE JOURNAL of your choice to the person who comes up with the greatest, most original, catchy, fun, most wonderful name for my shop!

Post a comment here with your suggestion.

I will take suggestions until Sunday, September 20th.

If you suggest a name I reserve any and all rights to the name that is chosen.

I haven't decided yet if I will just decide on a name myself (and my "advisors" aka my 12 year old daughter), or if I will set up a poll on Monday of the top ten or so everyone can vote. Stay tuned to find out!

Good Luck All!

What a great day...

I am having such a good day!

This morning I woke up and am featured in this blog... http://the3maries.blogspot.com/2009/09/night-owl-craftworks.html. Then I got a convo on Etsy letting me know that I will be featured on Friday in another blog! How cool!

Then I had a wonderful seller, JennaDesigns, come to my house for lunch. Our babies got the chance to play a bit, and we got a chance to chat a bit!

After my company left, my little one went down for a nap and I have a chance to get some computer work done with some real focus! Yay me! If I'm really quiet I might even be able to clean this afternoon... or maybe I'll just go get a piece of cake :)

Before & After

I never know what to blog about, but today I was inspired by a fellow etsian. Spooky Chandelier has some great before & after shots on the Lab Rats blog. I have been in the process of revamping my shop and I wanted to share with all of my loyal followers...

So I will be giving you side by side before & after shots, let me know what you think!

Settling in quite nicely...

We are all moved in to the new house. It is so wonderful! My mood has improved by leaps & bounds. I wish I wasn't so tired from all the work I'm doing to enjoy it. It isn't a bad tired, it's the good tired where you can wake up the next morning and want to get right back to doing whatever it was that made you so exhausted the day before. I've taken a few pics, but I'll have more coming. I'm sure.

Tonight was our first night in the pottery like it used to be... when we left NY 3 years ago we left behind our pottery. We are starting to get that back, and then some. It was such a great feeling to have the girls working right along side their dad tonight playing in the mud. For now I am totally happy... I wonder how long it is before I'm yelling at them to get in the house and get stuff done again. O well. It has been a great night. Now I have to get my husband to set up his Etsy shop.

Sketchbooks with pencil tie...

These are my newest creations. I am trying to set my shop apart from everyone else by offering something a bit different. I love these new sketchbooks! They have a place to secure your favorite pen or pencil. Look for more in the future...
