Monday cupcake Find {Special edition}

This Monday I'm going to introduce you all to Olga at the CupcakeTree shop and her Rubber stamps.

Chocolate Birthday Cupcake Hand Carved Rubber Stamp, $8 by CupcakeTree


Hand carved stamp in the shape of a chocolate cupcake with a birthday candle. ***If you would like this stamp personalized, you can purchase the listing ‘ADD NAME TO ANY STAMP’***

Give your craft items a personal touch with this hand carved stamp. Use it for scrapbooking, cards, gift tags. Stamp it on fabric, wood projects, walls or books. The possibilities are endless!

Stamps are carved on a highly durable, eraser-like material that will not crack or crumble and has a pink color. Stamps are mounted on a 1.5” x 1.5” stamp mount with two grooved edges to aid in gripping and placement of the stamp when crafting.

This is a special edition because I happen to own my very own stamp that Olga designed for me and I love it very much!

Randomness Saturdays

Sorry if I didn't post this yesterday, but there was an awful glitch in my etsy shop that really got me in a panic attack.
Now, back to normal with some random things from this week.

♥ Personal: Both of my kids are sick with a strong cold: nothing to worry about, but they will stay off school for a couple of days.

♥ Michelle enjoyed her first week in school a LOT and her potty training is going awesome!!

♥ Heard from a store that is interested in carrying my products: the order is a little bit smaller of what I was hoping for, but it's a start!

♥ This song was stuck in my head all week: thought some of you might like it! the lyric is in the video.


♥ The movie that I recommend this week is "Bedtime Stories" with Adam Sandler. It really amazed me how much creativity and fantasy kids may have, how life can get an unexpected turn and how much waiting for your dreams to come true really pays off :)

♥ My newsletter is coming up: have you signed up yet?

Featuring: Whimsical Wares

Hand Etched Blue Butterfly Glass Coffee Mug Tea Cup, $15

Today's feature is for Melanie, the owner of Whimsical Wares, that makes hand engraved glassware, hand stamped pottery, coasters, and hand-painted art.

Custom Dog Bowls Small, $25

That's what Melanie has to tell us about her shop:

"Hi Friends~
I call you friends since you are like a neighbor coming onto my back porch for a cup of coffee. Stepping into my store is a lot like a friend stepping into my home. My store displays a lot of my favorite things--hydrangeas, angels, little monsters. You may say "little monsters?" Yes, I am a mom to 3 little munchkins and several of our pieces are inspired by them--monsters, aliens, rocket ships.

I started this store out of love for them and a desire to help support our family since my husband lost his job. My items are inspired by the imaginations of my children and my faith...and each piece has a touch of whimsy. :)

Whimsical Wares is a joint effort between me and my husband of 13 years. Our designs are inspired by our faith and living life with 3 small children and 1 dog. Our items are made by hand and have a whimsical flair."

Set of 4 Tile Love Bird Coasters great for Valentines Day Wedding or Anniversary, $16

Enjoy!!!
