Robot/Monster Rag Wreath Complete

The rag wreath I posted about last week here got its finishing touches, embellished chipboard letter and die cut monster and robot hanging in the middle, and just in time for the Little Mister's one year old photo shoot. I'm not a bright colors kind of person but I am absolutely loving this color scheme and the monsters and robots theme is just too much fun for a little boy. The Little Mister is loving the monster things too. Every time I show him something he gets the giggles, so I guess I chose well! Next on my to-do list: invitations! Won't have anyone there to admire my little cutie or all my pretty decorations if I don't invite them! You can find my rag wreath how-to here.

A New Purpose

Tonight I received a lovely convo from fat face creations letting me know my Please Read Responsibly bookmark is in a treasury of hers called A New Purpose full of fantastic upcycled etsy finds. I'm honored, thanks! Be sure to check out the treasury (you can click the image to get there) and be sure to stop by fat face creations to check out all the wonderful items in her shop made from her original photography.

You Say Upcycled I Say Recycled

Let Go Of My Waffle (set of 3 tags)

There's a crazy new word floating around the art and craft community, upcycled. Well, maybe it's an old word and I've been living under a rock somewhere but as the go green craze continues to grow (yea!) so does the need for people to up the cool factor. So now there's this word to make artists and crafters feel artsier and craftier, I feel like a goof using it but when in Rome...upcycle, upcycle, upcycle. So I have some (re)upcycled items in my shop. Some of my paper bead bracelets fit this moniker and at the moment I'm adding to those green items by making bookmarks and tags out of product boxes. I think my favorite thing about these goodies has been naming them, too much fun and they fit right in with my paper hoarding tendencies. So here they are, some of the latest additions to The Beehive, and I've already sold one of the beer box bookmarks!
