Hot Of The Press: At Home In Arkansas Magazine

I like to enjoy all of The Beehive's latest press while riding my wooden rocking horse.

Well, not so hot off the press now, I can't believe it's taken me so long to blog about this momentous occasion. That's what happens when a gal's computer dies. Anywho, my Framed Custom Silhouette is featured in this month's At Home In Arkansas magazine in a great little spotlight on cottage industry. You'll find me alongside other fantastic Arkansas artists and crafters who sell their wares on Etsy.

A Day For Honors

NOTE: My shop The Beehive is now Papercut Kitchen! Please visit my shop Papercut Kitchen by clicking here.

Last night I got to create my own treasury for only the second time ever! It's a lot of fun and I really think this one turned out lovely. View my treasury, Lepidoptera, here. The more clicks a treasury gets the better chance it has to make it to the front page!

I also found my You Rock My Socks Off appreciation box is part of a great treasury, Follow Your Dreams! curated by Oakleaf Hollow. Thank you! And be sure to check our her lovely shop here.

As a fantastic little cherry on top I received this blog award!

It's from Hilary over at Gold Button Studio! This is apparently a new award and here are the details:

'This Renee award was created by Bella and Ces in honor of their friend Renee. In Bella's own words "this is a brand new award and I have the pleasure and honor of spreading the seed, watching it grow. I hope it finds it's way to those who are like Renee: the acorn, a small package becoming a tall and sturdy oak, giving more acorns, becoming tall and sturdy oaks, giving acorns..."

So here I am giving away some acorns, these are my nominees:

Keep It Simple Sarah
My Daddy's Daughter
Idyll Hands
A Muted Palette

Primarily...Primary

I got my own Easter treat yesterday! My Moroccan Night appreciation box was in this fantastic treasury by Five Forty jewelry called Primarily Primary. I don't think of primary colors as being something I'm fond of but this treasury is beautiful!

Shadow Of A Man: Silhouettes Are At The Beehive

NOTE: My shop The Beehive is now Papercut Kitchen! Please visit my shop Papercut Kitchen by clicking here.

I've been wanting to make these silhouettes of the boys for awhile now and I finally did it. I love the way these look using pattern scrapbook paper instead of just the classic black and white. The silhouettes are raised a bit from the background and the frames are like shallow shadow boxes, perfection! As a matter of fact I love them so much I'm offering them as a custom order item in my shop! You can have me make you a framed silhouette of your beloved people or pets that matches your decor by visiting here. Or if you'd like just the die cut so you can make your own special project visit here.

There's a chance you could be seeing my framed silhouette on the newsstands in a few months! I was contacted by At Home In Arkansas magazine about featuring some of my items alongside the work of others in their upcoming article on Arkansas artists on Etsy! I'm so excited and even though I should probably keep my mouth shut until I see it in print I'm blabbing it here. I sent my items off to Little Rock this morning so wish me luck!
