If it feels good, why stop?

I walked 4 minutes and ran 1 minute 8 times today and it felt good to push a little harder than just walking. I was doing this a few weeks ago and stopped. Why do I stop doing what makes me feel good? Do I wanna feel bad? Lol. Hopefully I’ll remember to read this when I want to stop again ๐Ÿ™‚

Cowgirl Boot Flower Pen

My sister saw these little boots at the store and thought they would be cute pen holders. I thought about it and then realized that I had some denim flowers and voila! a cowgirl flower pen! This is really very cute in person. Too cute. I want one for myself and have this feeling that I need to make at least 10 for the craft show I’m doing in September. I really like this one ๐Ÿ™‚

Zebra Flower pen

I made this zebra flower pen for my little niece. She loves zebra. I chose this particular flower because of the big gem in the middle. This exact one was just for her and won’t be replicated ๐Ÿ™‚

Peacock Flower pen

I made this flower pen arrangement for my sister. She requested the peacock feathers and this is how it turned out. I got an “OMG that’s gorgeous” from her. I also got many likes on Facebook. ๐Ÿ™‚ I will be making another one to put in my store soon.

Cheetah Flower Pen

I made this cheetah pen today. The flower is cheetah and I added a cheetah accent gem to the middle of the flower. The holder is glass with a cheetah design. I have the pen standing up by inserting the pen cap in foam. The foam and the pen cap are covered in gold glitter and I also added brown glass accent rocks inside the holder. The pen is Bic and can be refilled. This would make a really cute gift for anyone who is into cheetah. ๐Ÿ™‚

Getting Favorites Feels Good!

I got two items favorited this week! It sure motivates me to make more and add to my store. I feel so validated when I get a favorite. I feel like I’m not wasting my time or money. I’ve created something that someone else likes!

Hopefully things will start selling, but the good thing about all this is that I’m happy. I’m happy making the pens, taking the pictures, shopping for items, coming up with ideas for new designs, and updating this blog and my Etsy shop. It’s fun and I’m enjoying it very much!

Purple to Blue Ombre Flower Pens

I just added this flower pen arrangement to my store. I love the purple to blue ombrรฉ color on the glass holders and the charger rimmed with rhinestones is beautiful. The pictures don’t do it justice.
My sister and I put this together at the store. First, finding the glass holders, then coming upon the charger in the Halloween aisle!

Eiffel Tower flower pen

This is my newest addition to my Etsy online shop.  I got the idea from my sister.  She saw the vase and said I just had to make a flower pen with a white flower.  She said that a lot of kitchen dรฉcor is Paris themed and people would love this vase and pen on their counter. I hope they do!! Crossing my fingers that I sell it!

Craft Fair Cancelled due to Rain :(

The craft fair I planned on attending today was cancelled due to rain. At least I know where it is so I won’t get lost next month. I plan on participating in September and I wanted to see how others set up as this will be my very first one. I will just have to prepare the best I know how and learn from whatever I do wrong.
