The summer solstice may be 10 days away, but the Fantasy Artists of Etsy team is already celebrating...

My Peridot print is featured in another whimsical Fantasy Artists of Etsy team treasury, this time chosen by Sarah of Toadstools N Treestumps...

May 23rd is Mary Mother of Peace Church's 8th Annual Strawberry Festival. It'll be my 3rd year as a vendor, as long as the weather behaves...

The talent of my fellow Fantasy Artists of Etsy team members never ceases to amaze me. Just search Etsy using tag word "FAEteam" and you'll see what I mean. One could spend hours getting lost in our visions...

It's fairy nice when my work is featured in treasuries! This time a magnet of Ashley, my college roommate turned fairy, is in a marvelously whimsical one, chosen by WildRasberries. *sparkles* Go see it before it flits away on Saturday, May 9th at 5:19pm...

Of course they're not! Can you imagine how strange birds would look if they had their skeletons on the outside of their bodies, like butterflies do? Hmmm ... maybe I should try drawing that...

Well, I didn't make enough referrals to receive a fee-free ride for life from ArtFire. *giant Alice tears* I'm disappointed, but not surprised - and I'm glad I tried. I was probably a pain in the throat posting about it everywhere, so I hope I didn't scare anyone away...

My friend Julie of Mermaiden Creations always chooses the most stunning themes for her Etsy treasuries. Her latest one is inspired by her love of Norse mythology. I am honored she chose to feature my dragon clutching his peridot treasure, among so many other intriguing items...

Blimey! My "Arrr?" pirate bookmark is featured in a fun EtsyTwitter Team treasury, chosen by prettycheap. *raises rum* Better check it out before it walks the plank on Thursday, April 16th at 7:37pm.

How lucky was I to find this awesome Indie Crafter scrabble tile pendant made by Jesse Janes as a free SNS secret? Granted, my time was due - I'd searched for her secrets on several Saturday nights before but they'd always been pirated away right under my nose...

I've yet to win a handmade giveaway, but that's not going to stop me from entering! The latest one I have my eye on is a $20 gift certificate to the MadeByLaura shop on Etsy, hosted at her I Can Make That blog. That means I could get the needle felted bowl to the right for free! Isn't it pretty...

Last weekend I darted across the coals and snatched one of the first 5,000 verified accounts on ArtFire just in time, as there were only 147 left...

Can you believe I received this fabulous confetti glitter circle scarf FOR FREE?! Granted, my eyes were a little tired after diligently searching through the CFMF Crochet shop late on a Saturday night in January to find ssnjade's SNS secret, but that's a small price to pay...

I have been a fan of Pamela Quevedo's since I found her shop, TotusMel Tats, back in 2006, not long after I joined the handmade heaven that is Etsy. Her tatting skills and unique designs fascinate me...

Winter may not want to loosen its frosty grip just yet, but at least the Fantasy Artists of Etsy's Springtime in the Glen exhibition has bloomed...

February has been a busy month for me! Sunday, the 8th was my birthday so there was much celebrating to be done...

The Love at First Flight exhibition is now aflame with hot items by members of the Fantasy Artists of Etsy team. Several paintings feature flowers - and these won't wilt the week after delivery...

I think my little tree turned out fabulously for only putting it up five days before Christmas. We were going to set up Justin's full size one again, but time must have bounced through a black hole because suddenly it's already three days AFTER Christmas!!Christmas Eve was nice...

Last Saturday I traveled to New York City! Every year, my mom's work organizes a day trip where the bus drops everyone off around Rockefeller Center and lets them roam free for about eight hours. My dad had to work at the last moment, but my friend WizB was able to come instead. We had a blast...
