Ok, so ever since the day I decided to wean myself off of Typepad completely, I have not been able to create a gift guide like I did for Valentines Day. I was so proud of my first gift guide but when I did the switch, let’s just say Wordpress is a bear to work through and I simply don’t have the time.

I used to create websites using HTML and I was pretty good at it but after 3 years of no action I’m very, very rusty. I went to the Wordpress site to see if maybe, just maybe I could figure out how to modify a template enough to get the backgrounds and headers that I want but it was to much for me to get into so I decided to dust off the cobwebs in my head in regards to html and get to it.

Needless to say I used to create sites on Dreamweaver 8 3 years ago, so I’m onto Dreamweaver CS3 which is a bit different to say the least. I managed though it and it ended up taking more time to come up with a color theme than it did to create the guide itself.

I’m a tad rusty but the hard part is over. {yay} What do you think?

I’ll be adding more wonderful goodies daily so keep checking to see if you’re in the guide.

I caught her on the front page of Etsy today and had to feature her work. It’s amazing. I can’t imagine the amount of work that the artist has to do to carefully solder around the subject and also maintain the delicate beauty as well. All I can say is, “Wow”.

Glasswing Butterfly Necklace $120.00

The colors in this butterfly that were preserved by Neile so beautifully, are all of my faves.

I ordered a pendant from Imogen on 06′ and I still love it. Her jewelry is fun and modern with a wide selection of different images to choose from. There is something to suit everyones tastes and you can’t go wrong.

I love the coloring and shading of the two mushrooms on this pendant. So pretty.

Pendant - Mushrooms $5.50

Necklace - Green Owly $9.50

Stop by her shop because she has a lot more pretty pendants to view. ;-)

I’ve had my eye on A Rabbit Girl’s work for some time. In fact when she made the front page Treasury yesterday, I instantly clicked on her shop because the picture was so beautifully done. There is a mysterious and magical quality to her work that makes you go back for more.

Conifer sisters $20.00

Gigi $10.00

Stop by her shop to purchase a print or two, or three. ;-)
