etsy and swap goodness

 
my bloggingness has been going down lately... i find less time to blab to you all and my sincere apologies... but from the last post until now, i've received more lovely birthday gifts, my swap goodies from margaret, and have made items for the etsy shop (the above two items have been sold already!)

 
as stated before, my camera flash isn't working so taking photos has become even more difficult... already, i lack the photographic skill to take amazing pictures... now, between lack of skill and lack of flash, my pictures are turning out quite poor... and well, there could be another reason too... i am taking pictures in my smoldering hot studio at 2:30am, nervous of wasps hiding in the corners, waiting to attack me... while a fan tries to keep me cool, my hands are trying to hold the camera steady while my body fidgets from the fear... its a shame that a grown woman is so terrified of teeny tiny huge giant disgusting venomous wasps...

i've put a few items for sale in the etsy shop too...

   
so lets talk about something swap goodness!!! sweet margaret sent me some lovely goodies for our sweetpea swap... these are handmade earrings that are truly a comfy fit and more beautiful than photographed... she also sent a pouch that fits a diaper and a small box of baby wipes (yes, i carry light!) along with mint chocolates long gone, coffee to be drunk soon, a giant bar of chocolate all the way from denmark (also, long gone)... aren't they just wonderful???? margaret is talented and quite a kind lady!!

 
she made some lovely handmade cards with my initial on it... and she sent a ton of wonderful papers.... oh yes, ribbon too! (but you saw that in the photo, right?)

okay, i think diego is hungry and isabella is too... and i could use a good cup of joe... ramel will be home in a few minutes and i must pretend i have been working hard and not on the computer all day... haha! just kidding (kinda)....

I so loved that nature journal but it was gone before I even saw it listed! You'll have to make a whole heap more Ellia!

Oh please please make another little redhead girl in a raincoat! That was too adorable and long gone before I knew about it!

I love the 'hippie-ness' of the explore design.
But, oh, that Isabella's little face. what a cutie pie.
