OK. I'm not sure that's a word but it works, right?

Anywho, this post is not about the genius words I make up. Although, I could spend an entire day writing just about that. (Just ask my hubster, I have many original words.)


Rather, this is about a great blog I just found.

I've always loved to see the craftsmanship of others. I think handmade items are unique, gorgeous, and most times green. (See where the "Greenspiration" word comes in?) But, as a very busy mom of 2, I don't have time to peruse Etsy (among other websites) to find the latest and greatest in the handmade department.

Enter solution here!

I've found a blog that promises to cover that for me and she does it so well. Not only does Deanna at My Handmade Addiction share her favorites in her shopping endeavors, she also has my taste. It's true. Everything she's posted so far has made me say, "Oh, I love that!".

And what's better than that? Well, dear readers, she shares my love of coffee. Mmmhm! It's a match made in heaven. Oh, and she posted about the BEST travel mug ever. (Click that link to see)

She'll do the shopping and post about it, and I can just keep tabs with her blog and make a wish list of my own. Simple bo-dimple.

Care to have your own personal shopper? Just follow her blog. :)

Thanks, Deanna! I'm excited to see what you find next.

**I was not compensated in any way for this post. My "finds" are selected and posted by my own choosing while I receive nothing in return. (is it that hard to believe a blogger would post something without gaining anything? lol)

I'm SO very proud to tell you about this new etsy store. It turns out, my "sister" Katrina has a very creative biological sister, Dagny. Dagny's story is truly inspirational and a testimony of God's faithfullness in His time. After 10 years, God gave her the child she and her husband prayed for.

Now that Dagny is mom to a beautiful little girl, she's inspired to make and sell things for little ones everywhere. She opened her own etsy store, Jenny Pie Productions, is extremely talented, and sells some adorable items. Here are a few of my favorites:

This is a hand-crocheted BLT for little ones to play with. I love me a good BLT and I love how stinkin' cute this one is. Guess what? It's only $5. Seriously! What a great way to encourage imaginative play in children.

 

Another adorable, $5 find is this hand-crocheted Smore. I love it!

If you love adorable, winter decor and want to help a great cause, this is the guy for you. Dagny makes mister Jack Frost from scratch, sells him for $50, and donates every penny to the University of Arizona Cancer Center for research.

Alex's favorite? Easy. He loves his squeezer.

This squeezer has trucks on it, something near and dear to Alex's heart. He loves to carry it around, point out the trucks, and squeeze it to hear the crinkly sound it makes.  Dagny sells these in different fabrics and colors. There's also a hook on one end for smaller ones so you can hook it to a car seat, or entertainer.

Here's the one she's giving away:

 

The back of this Squeezer is a solid, red fleece. This is very cute and would be perfect for either a boy or girl.

You can buy your own at Jenny Pie Productions for only $6.
