A Few of my favorite things...

Quick, Picture Julie Andrews tearing the drapes off of the windows and wrapping them around her shoulders. Did you do it?! 




Good, now sing the first line in your head, You know you want to anyway... (Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens).

Now, follow me through some of my favorite things. You'll be glad you did! 



Fabric with flowers in black, yellow, gray.





Necklaces tied with a string so they lay,

Words to remind us to simply "Believe"!


These are a few of my favorite things...





Twizzlers and music and warm cups of coffee,

Mod Podge and paper and glitter so sloppy,


Paper I got for just 89 cents,






These are a few of my favorite things...




When the Tigger barks...

                                                              (Tigger)

When my Maggie dreams...(It's really loud snoring)

                                                     (Maggie)

When I'm feeling sad...



I simply remember my favorite things.....

                                                          (Lemon Apron by JillyG's)




                                                            (Rooster's by JillyG's)




                                                               (UGA by JillyG's)

                                                                 (Apples by JillyG's)


And then I don't feel sooooo bad!

Believe...just believe!

I love to try new things but I am like anyone else. I have to stand on the edge and think about it until that "tingly feeling" builds up and the "flip-flops" inside of my stomach are more than I can take and I finally hear myself scream inside of my head "just do it already!" So here goes...I am standing on the edge of something that scares me so much that I can hardly stand it and yet I am hearing that voice getting louder and louder. So I'll take the first step.

I have decided to create a place where my very crafty friends and I can share with the world what we make. What makes that "tingly feeling" in our stomach happen because we just created something with our own hands. Something that we think is just wonderful and maybe, just maybe someone else will think it's wonderful too. My intention is to share and sell all handmade items. It doesn't matter what it is but it has to be handmade with sweat and love and your very own hands. So here I go on a grand adventure and I feel like my insides will burst with fear and excitement and I am ready to leap off of the edge and see where it leads me! Wish me luck and stay tuned for some amazing handmade items from me and all of the people I love.
