I can’t lie though….I am SUPER nervous. I just have this fear of the unknown and have always had a difficult time with change. I have been going through some pretty serious personal battles over the past few months, but have realized that I am MORE THAN READY to tackle what there is in store for me! Not only ready, but finally excited of what the future holds for me. I’m not sure that I have actually ever been “excited” for the future, but after a few months of self reflection, I have decided that this IS MY YEAR! </p> <p>Here are some samples pics of products that I plan on pitching!

I have somewhat of a “list” of things that I want/need to get accomplished, but for some reason I cannot follow through with things. you see, there is this personal side of me that I’m going to share with you that I don’t share with many, but obvious to some people close to me. I’m pretty sure that I have ADD and it makes so many things difficult to do. here I am, wanting to start up this business, but how the hell am I really going to do this if I can’t get a list of things done?? </p> <p>if I could have filmed me this morning/afternoon, trying to accomplish my goals, I probably would have gotten a laugh watching it. I’m fully aware that I’m doing things either not in order, or not even on my list, but for some reason I can’t seem to EVER get the things done that I need to. it’s very frustrating and takes up the time in my day that could have been used more beneficially. </p> <p>here’s just a little list of how today “went down”.</p> <ul> <li>sent the rent check </li> <li>sat down checked emails/facebook/blogs/pinterest (aka, all those things that really don’t help me pursue my business) </li> <li>realized that if I don’t get my studio organized, than I can’t get my life organized </li> <li>went in to studio to clean/organize/de-clutter</li> <li>found fabric in studio and started a mock up of a wallet that I had been dreaming about making</li> <li>got side tracked and made lunch</li> <li>finished lunch walked back into studio and realized all the thread and fabric scraps all over the house</li> <li>grabbed the broom and vacuum and cleaned the first living room</li> <li>sat down and admired the pillow covers I had just made</li> <li>got depressed/frustrated that it was already 1:30 and I hadn’t really gotten anything accomplished</li> <li>checked blog again and realized that I needed to write a new post</li> <li> <div align="left">so here I am…procrastinating again</div></li></ul> <p align="left">I hope to find some sort of help in the way of getting more focused on a task and sticking to it. I really really really want <strong><u><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/FlyChicks">FlyChicks Handmade Goods</a></u></strong> to be a priority in my life, and build it into this great business that makes me happy and makes me shine. Here’s to hoping that I can get my butt in gear and make this a great year for my business. </p> Hannah from FlyChickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05504510198568311707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557164879972273454.post-13840133656979206942011-11-03T12:21:00.001-05:002011-11-03T12:21:35.852-05:00Pinterest Challenge ----> recycled soup cans wrapped in printed paper<p> </p> <p>So, I have been following <a href="http://www.younghouselove.com/2011/11/fall-pinterest-challenge-ornaments-a-plenty/">Young House Love</a> for a while now, and recently they started a new section titled “<a href="http://www.younghouselove.com/2011/11/fall-pinterest-challenge-ornaments-a-plenty/">Pinterest Challenge</a>”. It allows viewers and followers to link to their creations from inspirations they found on <a href="http://pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a>. I like to call them “Pinspirations”! If you haven’t heard of Pinterest, then I’m sorry for ya! </p> <p>A few weeks ago, I found this great Pinspiration and documented my creation not even thinking about linking to <a href="http://www.younghouselove.com/">YHL</a> challenge. Well, just so turns out that I think it would work great for a challenge.

There was this great “pin” on <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/161094004/">Pinterest</a> going around from Justine’s blog. I did some further blog stalking, blogking, and found some great DIY and crafts ideas. I thought I would give <a href="http://youresomartha.wordpress.com/2011/09/28/diy-stamps/">this one</a> a shot…And, I LOVE it! Making your own stamps is so much fun, and the possibilities are endless.</p> <p>Here’s the finished product!</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-7K9JHOrLMOM/TosyIbwsJzI/AAAAAAAABMY/JYP-o-JbN_k/s1600-h/2011-10-5%25255B9%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="2011-10-5" border="0" alt="2011-10-5" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-wGej5IdOHcs/TosyIgK_L3I/AAAAAAAABMc/vhyMXNLW-m4/2011-10-5_thumb%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="451" height="356"></a></p> <p>items needed:</p> <ul> <li>an eraser (or two…just in case you cut too much off)</li> <li>an Exacto knife (preferably one that you can hold like a pencil)</li> <li>some kind of pattern or template (I freehanded my “m” stencil)</li> <li>an ink pad (you could use acrylic paint, but I found this worked just fine)</li></ul> <p>some paper (card stock works great for homemade cards)</p> <p>When preparing to print stencil, just butt the ends of the “m” next to each other. I like to leave a small space between them. It gives more of an organic look and feel to the chevron print!</p> <p>Hope you have fun making your own stamps!

You see, my first “studio”, more commonly referred to as “the dungeon”, was dark, gloomy, and pretty much the farthest thing from inspirational. It was really the only area in our old house that I could have full reign over. It was in the basement. It was dark. Scary. Cold… (note the wood paneling….uhg.)</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-dFqUf0PJuzw/TmGBKHS9oqI/AAAAAAAABLU/bc61GyUp6Cc/s1600-h/basement%252520studio%25255B14%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="basement studio" border="0" alt="basement studio" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Os-S2YcPPT8/TmGBKje5hBI/AAAAAAAABLY/3tCiKOI-xPQ/basement%252520studio_thumb%25255B10%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="408" height="321"></a></p> <p align="center">---basement studio @ old house---</p> <p align="left">Soooo, when we moved into our current house, I kinda made it a big deal that I NEEDED to be upstairs, surrounded by bright lights and nature. No more dirty, dark, dingy basement for me!</p> <p align="left">I LOVE my studio. Most of the time. Especially when it’s nice and pretty and organized. </p> <p align="left">And now, for the unflattering promised pics of my workspace… AGAIN---NO JUDEMENT!

The tutorial is from <a href="http://sweet-verbena.blogspot.com/2011/07/simple-bow-tie-top-tutorial.html">Sweet-Verbena</a>. My sis, Emily, made one earlier this week that was pretty darn adorable, and I just had to give it a try! So, here it is. I added an extra strip of linen to the bottom to tie together the linen sash that I chose. Hope you like it!</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-O_9GUdAlEPU/TkA1N4KMu-I/AAAAAAAABBU/yZjizoRfOV4/s1600-h/diy%252520shirt%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="diy shirt" border="0" alt="diy shirt" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-0nGQIE7Pro4/TkA1OAs_MUI/AAAAAAAABBY/YSFuyXKyK78/diy%252520shirt_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="341" height="191"></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-IzuXao3NCHU/TkA1OjPcJaI/AAAAAAAABBc/Gv8f6DRReTo/s1600-h/1312828775773-1%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="1312828775773" border="0" alt="1312828775773" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-r6ic5rtSKIw/TkA1O9iECcI/AAAAAAAABBg/vkNacxN4ysU/1312828775773-1_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="213" height="392"></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-eCecwz3pKLA/TkA1Pfe7umI/AAAAAAAABBk/nr4OKycu7TA/s1600-h/1312829957494-1%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="1312829957494" border="0" alt="1312829957494" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/--ZImTOekclI/TkA1Ps23wxI/AAAAAAAABBo/knnNXsxmvPg/1312829957494-1_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="238" height="392"></a></p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-w_O49C4ig94/TkA1QO1wqNI/AAAAAAAABBs/wSqaeadX1x4/s1600-h/1312830284356-1%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="1312830284356" border="0" alt="1312830284356" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-OxYEPlBgFnw/TkA1QSDxgvI/AAAAAAAABBw/bVdNjgMWAjY/1312830284356-1_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="249" height="387"></a></p></blockquote> Hannah from FlyChickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05504510198568311707noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557164879972273454.post-19266965897672251592011-08-08T11:38:00.001-05:002011-08-08T11:38:17.558-05:00the power of pinterest!<p> </p> <p>So, I can’t get enough of <a href="http://pinterest.com/">pinterest</a>! I know, I know…neither can anyone else! It is an addiction! But a good one. Well, I guess it’s good, except for the fact that I can’t seem to get anything done. There is WAY too much inspiration for one person to process. My list of DIY is getting way too long. But I guess I could have no motivation, and that, my friend, would be a horrible thing.</p> <p>Here are a few things I have been drooling over lately!</p> <p><a href="http://www.bellemaison23.com/search?updated-max=2011-05-31T00%3A30%3A00-07%3A00&max-results=6"><img style="display: inline" title="poof" alt="poof" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-M5ZgW0rd3ww/TkAQ8t9TilI/AAAAAAAABAs/5CMI-6oj_4s/poof%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="239" height="224"></a> <a href="http://havenspie.tumblr.com/post/722208968"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="reading nook" border="0" alt="reading nook" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-TtS0zeJsz7s/TkAQ9HJIf8I/AAAAAAAABAw/LmUnmXhgdxs/reading%252520nook%25255B9%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="171" height="272"></a></p> <p><a href="http://reasonstobreathe.tumblr.com/page/62"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="treehouse" border="0" alt="treehouse" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-_FwDn1rszOA/TkAQ9Qh8JXI/AAAAAAAABA0/ozJUQ1FoVbU/treehouse%25255B12%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="212" height="227"></a> <a href="http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.kathykoop.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/721-G-Ave-001.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.kathykoop.com/blog/new-listing-721-g-ave&usg=__9bGjRmzBvs6dl7_XNHREUT4wTug=&h=1872&w=1250&sz=544&hl=en&start=9&sig2=GEWiEakQuUY2v19gfrIDMw&zoom=1&tbnid=KyTnYYscNEtyEM:&tbnh=150&tbnw=100&ei=JJcTTumsA8nEtAbJq_jqDg&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dbeautiful%2Bhome%2Blibrary%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26biw%3D998%26bih%3D600%26gbv%3D2%26tbs%3Disz:l%26tbm%3Disch&itbs=1"><img style="display: inline" title="front porch" alt="front porch" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-IXpzmLNBg1M/TkAQ9ruSqzI/AAAAAAAABA4/5RHTQUDIUxE/front%252520porch%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="174" height="266"></a><a href="http://sweet-verbena.blogspot.com/2011/07/simple-bow-tie-top-tutorial.html"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="diy shirt" border="0" alt="diy shirt" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-HcnrqfC3FUs/TkAQ98WT5GI/AAAAAAAABA8/jYow4tJICAY/diy%252520shirt%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="220" height="127"></a> <a href="http://www.westelm.com/products/turned-leg-dhurrie-ottoman-g419/?pkey=cchairs-ottomans-benches"><img style="display: inline" title="ottoman" alt="ottoman" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-aFnY0s_z3CI/TkAQ-IPaV-I/AAAAAAAABBA/YiaR4blSN2M/ottoman%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="208" height="213"></a></p> <p>What are some things you have been drooling over lately?</p> <p> </p> <p>***all images hyperlinked to original website***</p> Hannah from FlyChickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05504510198568311707noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557164879972273454.post-15657892037118613942011-07-26T10:45:00.001-05:002011-07-26T10:45:57.082-05:00refashionista!<p> </p> <p>So, Sunday morning Jack and I built a tent/reading nook in the living room using an old sheet and some fuzzy blankets and pillows. An hour and some 20 odd books later, I remembered that Jack had gotten a gift card to a local book store. We were going to go on a book hunt! </p> <p>It was Sunday, so I had a feeling they were closed. They were. Then, a light bulb went off. Borders was closing and they were having a HUGE blowout sale, or so I thought. We pulled up, the parking lot was a MADHOUSE! We lucked out, found a spot and headed in. After about 30 minutes in the kids section, I slowly made a move to the arts & crafts section. I remembered that Amy Butler’s Style Stitches was out and I was all about that! </p> <p>We schlepped our merchandise downstairs to the checkout and then realized that the line for the checkout wrapped around the first floor!!! REALLY? The sales weren’t even that great! Jack was ecstatic about this fire engine book he had found so I knew I had to move with the quickness. I distracted him, placed all the books on a shelf, held his hand and ran outta there. I did feel kind of bad for not putting my finds back in the appropriate places, but the place was already a wreck and it was much more important to make it out alive. </p> <p>On our walk back to the car, I had to explain to Jack that the line was way too long. He just wanted some books. I felt really bad, because the whole point of our little adventure was to go buy him some new books to read in our awesome reading tent!</p> <p>As we drove home, we passed a Goodwill!! Perfect. They always have children’s books. Distracted by the toy section, Jack had forgotten about our book hunt. I found about 6 paperbacks that would be perfect. At .30 and .50 cents a pop, we couldn’t beat that. And then, I found a cute little padded stool for $15 that could be cute with some tlc and new fabric. </p> <p>We checked with a grand total of $27.60. That includes five pair of shorts for Jack. Style Stitches alone would have been $28 with the BIG discount at Borders. I felt pretty darn good about our finds and our savings! Not to mention, the adorable stool that now lives by our front door! </p> <p> </p> <p>Here are a couple before and after pics:</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-rnG-8neQnuk/Ti7hI-KSNsI/AAAAAAAAA88/MsFe3jmYDM0/s1600-h/2011-07-25%2525252010.35.40%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="2011-07-25%252010.35.40" border="0" alt="2011-07-25%252010.35.40" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-9jTCpuCsrvI/Ti7hJBxAkVI/AAAAAAAAA9A/5UDJd7FySeg/2011-07-25%2525252010.35.40_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184"></a> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-MhP5LMczQjM/Ti7hJrmNPdI/AAAAAAAAA9E/6vkMso49gUs/s1600-h/2011-07-25%2525252010.35.51%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="2011-07-25%252010.35.51" border="0" alt="2011-07-25%252010.35.51" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Uun9k2Vruxg/Ti7hJ-YYDbI/AAAAAAAAA9I/xxQpbrXxl4E/2011-07-25%2525252010.35.51_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244"></a></p> <p> </p> <p> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-uisq5Nnj9rI/Ti7hKu4eb5I/AAAAAAAAA9M/N7dA9mzAKFg/s1600-h/2011-07-26%2525252009.56.25%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="2011-07-26%252009.56.25" border="0" alt="2011-07-26%252009.56.25" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-BWN6mlTA7_s/Ti7hLEfVQqI/AAAAAAAAA9Q/PzQetL8Y5EQ/2011-07-26%2525252009.56.25_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="250" height="194"></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-TwUOCdd1eWA/Ti7hLxhSoBI/AAAAAAAAA9U/phzxaMH5S8I/s1600-h/2011-07-26%2525252009.56.14%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="2011-07-26%252009.56.14" border="0" alt="2011-07-26%252009.56.14" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-6V5ggSobFn8/Ti7hMIRfXUI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/lbYwH7bpq8c/2011-07-26%2525252009.56.14_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184"></a></p> <p> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-TkSJfbwACH8/Ti7hMuaE3PI/AAAAAAAAA9c/8binCQetMX4/s1600-h/2011-07-26%2525252009.57.09%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="2011-07-26%252009.57.09" border="0" alt="2011-07-26%252009.57.09" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-mU2V4e351dY/Ti7hNBLYE_I/AAAAAAAAA9g/qdfMEShUd4Y/2011-07-26%2525252009.57.09_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184"></a></p> Hannah from FlyChickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05504510198568311707noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557164879972273454.post-29194862488445363342011-07-23T10:50:00.001-05:002011-07-23T10:50:37.592-05:00fabric.com, I heart you!<p>I came home yesterday afternoon to a package on my front stoop.

Hannah and I had a fun little field trip to some Antique Malls here in St. Louis last Friday. Hannah ended up buying this really cool glass container thing-y, though she wasn’t exactly sure what she was going to put into it. <br />

We decided to stop by the local farmer’s market before we picked up her little boy from pre-school. We were just going to pick out some fruits and veggies for dinner when we saw a bunch of succulents, staring at us, begging us to take them home. And they didn’t have to beg very hard- I’ve been looking to get some for a while now, and so has Hannah!<br />

Then, the idea started brewing… we could make a succulent terrarium with the above glass thing-y! Well, it would be a terrarium sans lid, since succulents need to stay mostly dry. So we picked up some soil, some stones, and she picked out three different types of succulents (don’t ask me the names, because I have no clue!).<br />

We lined the bottom with some medium sized stones (these can be picked up at many garden stores or Michael’s or Hobby Lobby). Then, we packed some soil onto the top of the stones. This will allow for drainage of excess water since succulents need only be watered once per week/two weeks.<br />
Then, we took each succulent out of their respective containers, took some of the soil off of the roots (not too much, just enough so that it is easier to re-plant it into the terrarium), and placed it into the soil of the glass container.<br />

Once we re-planted the succulents, we added some more soil and packed it loosely around the roots of each plant. Then, we added another layer of the stones to make it look pretty!<br />

Carla Duncan of <a href="http://www.duncan-designs.com/Duncan_Designs/Duncan_Designs.html"><font color="#dd8484">Duncan-Designs</font></a>, makes beautiful jewelry and also recently took on an newer form of felting called Nuno felting. Nuno felting is created using felt and fabric, weaving the two together, as she describes “I “paint” with wool roving onto my fabric of choice – silk”. Carla is a resident artist at <a href="http://sam.soulardartmarket.org/?page_id=100"><font color="#4f81bd">Soulard Art Market</font></a> and runs a successful business selling her creations. This year’s Mother’s Day boutique, Carla asked Emily and I if we would want to participate as vendors. We are looking forward to this weekends events at her lovely historic century home in St. Louis! If you’re local, come by and check out what Carla and her 3 other vendors have in store at this years Annual Mother’s Day boutique!</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_K9hSMclJtfY/TbsC35hn83I/AAAAAAAAAaA/uUBhx_SxAOQ/s1600-h/2011-04-23%5B10%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="2011-04-22 22.14.18" border="0" alt="2011-04-22 22.14.18" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_K9hSMclJtfY/TbsC4agAFhI/AAAAAAAAAaE/BLWyS-g_30Q/2011-04-23_thumb%5B7%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="324" height="258"></a></p> Hannah from FlyChickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05504510198568311707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557164879972273454.post-56790835617577330402011-04-25T10:22:00.003-05:002011-04-25T13:31:00.241-05:00Giveaway Week on Grace and Light Studios<p></p><br /><br /><p>This week on <a href="http://graceandlightstudio.com/">Grace and Light Studios</a>, Brooke has chosen a few blogs that are included in a special giveaway for her birthday week!!!

It was horrific! I hate this side of the business. I just like to create stuff. Anyway, we got thorough it after an afternoon break to take my dog Stan on a short walk around the block. Then, after the LOOOONG day counting inventory, we had a meeting with our web designer to set a launch date for the new website!!! I'm telling you, this website is gonna be pretty terrific, if I may say myself! Stay tuned. But, for the meantime, I am going to leave you with some pics of my horrible mess of a studio and a few new product pics of the zipper snap wallet! ENJOY! :)</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>p.s. </div><br /><div>I HATE blogger, I can never figure out how to post the pics in the order that I want them, so bare with me for the craziness of the layout</div>-thanks :) <br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div></div><br /><div><br /><div></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5cV8e3joEe8/TZtdypuB2PI/AAAAAAAAAXM/-uVt4gG5oY4/s1600/2011-04-5.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 347px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 258px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592166487084357874" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5cV8e3joEe8/TZtdypuB2PI/AAAAAAAAAXM/-uVt4gG5oY4/s320/2011-04-5.jpg" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CrHdxZdQFvI/TZtdSzc0_iI/AAAAAAAAAWs/rAaCoxlEf0s/s1600/2011-04-05%2B12.03.04.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592165939940752930" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CrHdxZdQFvI/TZtdSzc0_iI/AAAAAAAAAWs/rAaCoxlEf0s/s320/2011-04-05%2B12.03.04.jpg" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mjqecvqk1K8/TZtdcIaFmyI/AAAAAAAAAW0/CTE7AVmGIBM/s1600/2011-04-05%2B12.03.19.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592166100185226018" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mjqecvqk1K8/TZtdcIaFmyI/AAAAAAAAAW0/CTE7AVmGIBM/s320/2011-04-05%2B12.03.19.jpg" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-29OueSd2H9w/TZtdjqHKT7I/AAAAAAAAAW8/fslnF3p_oJk/s1600/2011-04-05%2B12.03.26.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592166229491732402" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-29OueSd2H9w/TZtdjqHKT7I/AAAAAAAAAW8/fslnF3p_oJk/s320/2011-04-05%2B12.03.26.jpg" /></a> <br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fqHoRNH8Q0A/TZtdJ0unjjI/AAAAAAAAAWk/qFl2ksOPU6g/s1600/2011-04-05%2B12.02.55.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592165785664982578" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fqHoRNH8Q0A/TZtdJ0unjjI/AAAAAAAAAWk/qFl2ksOPU6g/s320/2011-04-05%2B12.02.55.jpg" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-d0bI-s0agas/TZtdqHn8vSI/AAAAAAAAAXE/7jnuBDUA3z0/s1600/2011-04-6.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592166340493098274" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-d0bI-s0agas/TZtdqHn8vSI/AAAAAAAAAXE/7jnuBDUA3z0/s320/2011-04-6.jpg" /></a></div></div></div></div>Hannah from FlyChickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05504510198568311707noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557164879972273454.post-16613021457697060532011-03-22T09:21:00.002-05:002011-03-22T09:25:02.141-05:00WOO-HOO!!!New Labels = LOVE<br />I mean....how cute are these???

He was in such a panic that the Borders in Springfield, IL closed, that he gave me back his giftcard and told me to use it on something for Jack. Well, I did get Jack two books: classics/childhood faves- <em><strong>Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs</strong> </em>and <em><strong>One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish</strong></em>. I also picked up a couple business books for myself! <strong><em>Handmade Marketplace</em></strong> by<em> Kari Chapin. </em>Great so far, and I have barely put a dent in it! And, <strong><em>The Idiots Guide To Selling Your Crafts. </em></strong>Also, very good so far. Super informative and just what I have been looking for to answer ALOT of my questions about this business. I had to throw in one "fun" book too! <strong><em><a href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The-Bag-Making-Bible/Lisa-Lam/e/9780715336243"><span style="color:#ffcc00;">The Bag Making Bible</span></a> </em></strong>by <em>Lisa Lam. </em>Lisa is the owner and founder of<span style="color:#33cc00;"> </span><a href="http://u-handbag.typepad.com/"><strong><span style="color:#33cc00;">U-Handbag</span></strong></a>, an online supply store, bag making blog and handbag haven! She rocks!<br /><br />If you or someone you know is going into business to pursue their love of crafts, BEST OF LUCK and check out these books. Also, tell us about some books you may love!Hannah from FlyChickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05504510198568311707noreply@blogger.com0
