I AM BACK!!

Hi Everyone! I am so sorry that I have not updated my blog in awhile as its just been crazy around here. I had my dance recital, my daughter had her prom, I had some animal troubles in my house and generally life has been hectic. I am back though and have made some new piggies that I would love to share with you from my Etsy store. My new Etsy store, klaysweetpiggies.etsy.com is doing Great! I have 12 sales in less than six weeks and I am thrilled with the popularity my little piggies are having. I have put some pictures of my newest piggies on and you can see them anytime in my store. I appreciate all the support my blogger friends have given me in the past and I promise to update much more often in the future...laura

Grand Opening Of My 2nd Store!

I am so very excited and wanted to share my news with all of my blogger friends. I recently opened a 2nd shop on Etsy http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7308215. This shop is Dedicated to my Polymer Clay piggies. I also will do a few other cute critters now and then, but the focus of this store is on my Piggies. I hope you visit one day and let me know what you think. I plan on making many more piggies and will try my best to also take special requests~~laura

Thank You Everyone!

I just wanted to take this time to thank all the wonderful people that have a blog, or maybe don't have a blog and have taken the time to Follow me and my updates. Your comments that you leave me can turn an uneventful day into a supburb day and I wanted you to know how much it means to me. I have only been blogging for less then two months & what an eye opening experience it has become. I have met the most fantastic, fun, creative people with Hearts of gold through my blog and it shows there are still "good" people out there.

~~A Special Tribute To Etsy Crafters!!~~

Through it all the crafters that I have met through twittering,blogging & the Etsy forums have been Inspirational to say the least. To all of those who support me, feature me in their blogs, etc. "Thank You Ever So Much" I look forward to fun, successful journey with Etsy & all of you!

Scent of a Rose

I was inspired by the beautiful day that I spent in New Jersey today. Me and my yorkipoo sat outside just enjoying the warm air and sun..it was so peaceful. I got to really enjoy my farm and animals instead of watching from the window. I think sometimes we forget to just sit back, relax and appreciate the simple beauty around us. We are so busy with our computers and businesses that we forget how wonderful mother nature can be. I was so inspired by the outdoors today that when I came in I worked on this necklace as it just went with the theme of my day.

What inspired you today???

Any Cereal Lovers Out There???

Okay, so yesterday while i was enjoying my low fat, boring healthy cereal, I was remembering being a kid and begging my mom for the sweetest cereals on the market.
She was pretty easy to break down and I usually got my Captain Crunch, Fruit Loops, Count Dracula..hahahha remember those? You know its amazing that if you were like me back then we survived!, but we did. Sometimes I wonder if our kids aren't missing out...pushed to give them nutritious cereals and low fat foods all year around...Gosh, they can't even bring sweets for their birthdays to school anymore :( Realizing that we have children that aren't getting enough exercise as we did due to computers, video games etc, I can see why they are pushing the "healthy" choices, but I still think some of my best memories were sitting at the table with my Frosty Flakes and maybe even having a cupcake when I got home from school. I made a "new" Klayfriend yesterday, Fruity Cereal Piggy to remind us of the days we use to eat sweet, fun cereal and sometimes eat as this piggy is one at a time and leave the soggy cereal & milk in the bowl...hehehehe
Those Were The Days!!

~~~I love a good rainbow after a storm~~

Well, my kids go back to school tomorrow..their week off seems to have flown by.
My house is always crazy, but fun! My son had two friends over and my daughter also had kids coming and going over the past week. its going to be awfully quiet here tomorrow without them. We all were talking over breakfast this morn and my daughter was going on about how scared she is of stormy weather, tornados, etc.etc... I was explainig that after every storm a rainbow follows and when shes away at college in the fall and scared just think of the rainbow after the storm and she can get through anything! When I finally got a chance to relax today I contemplated what kind of bracelet I would make and it was then the discussion of the morning came back to me and so became my newest bracelet...Colors Of The Rainbow, etsy link is
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23632176. It is so beautiful in person. If you get a chance and could comment I am wondering if I should do more swarovski crystal bracelets. I love making my charm bracelets, but these are so pretty as well. Have a great day all...God Bless all our rainbows! Laura
