Secret Scrooge Swap-Meet "Mary"!

I participated in an uber-fun Secret Scrooge Swap through the Etsy Dark Team. This is my creation, which was very well-received from my partner (she jokes that Mary is very photogenic and she is thinking of entering her in pageants). hehehe

This was very tricky for me, as I am NOT a sewer but I knew my partner liked this type of doll so took a stab at it. I'm sure it would have taken an experienced stitcher half the time it took me, but it was fun...I might make more dolls in the future!

Tree Creepers in action!

I have a few photos from happy customers who haunted their trees! Don't they look cute?

One of these customers (who won the blog giveaway) is also an amazing artist; you should check out her work too! http://illustratedink.blogspot.com/

CRAZY SALE-Name your own price!

I have 4 etsy shops, a full-time job, and a sick relative which are contributing to a serious time crunch! Because of this, I will be closing one of my etsy shops:

Gossamer Hollowear

What does that mean for you? It means you can name your own price! I want to clear out EVERYTHING!!! Just find an item you like, send me a convo with what you would like to pay for it (excluding shipping, I can't really change shipping costs). Any reasonable-and some crazy and UNreasonable-offers will be accepted! I will then modify the listing for you so you can purchase it.

Great deals for Christmas!!!

And the winner is...

Illustrated Ink!!!

Congrats girl, you have won my contest for a free personalized ornament! I will contact you to give you the details.

Thanks so much to everyone for entering! I will have another chance to win soon!
