The Launch (FINALLY!) of my Etsy shop!



After several weekends of work, I've finally finished my first Etsy shop project! Shawn and I love our DSLR camera, but I hated the way the strap pulled at the hair on my neck. Many folks on my Clickin Moms forum suggested purchasing the camera strap covers to be found on Etsy.com, but why buy one when you can make one, right?



Also, I didn't like the quality of some that I found to purchase, so I set out to make a strap I would (and DO!) use. The picture above shows the patterns of fabric I've made so far, and the shots below show some of the detail of my covers. Please go visit my Etsy shop and check them out!

I plan to eventually have some "Baby's Firsts" books as well as some other scrapbooking mini-albums listed as well.

Welcome to my creative world!

As part of my work to honor my word of the year "Health", I'm developing and exploring my creative side (mental health, LOL)! I've set up an Etsy shop to sell some items I have been making (camera straps, mini-albums), and I'm going to use this blog to show off some of my crafts. I'm making a commitment to myself to post once a week, which means I need to be creating something once a week.

First up, I finished a great scrapbook page for Shawn and Oliver based on a poem I encountered in school. Picts up later tonight!
