Fiskars and Features

At 6:38 yesterday morning, a box was delivered to my condo. My Alaska family sent over a box filled with goodies. Pretzel M&M's. More cupcake liners. And this!



My mom sent me a Fiskars Shapeboss Ultimate Embossing System! I'm too excited for words! I wish I had gotten the box sooner. Not having internet at home for 4 days now has driven me to do non-wired things at home.

I see scrapbook paper abuse in my future.

On another note, Thanks to Candy Magazine and Macy for featuring me!

Yes, I'm on Instagram! @mikkomix

I'm what you call an Etsy seller!

Have I mentioned that I'm now on etsy?

Craft, Creativity, Beads and Safety Pins

The weekend before last, I attended the Craft Soirée that Alessa had planned. It was such an amazing creative craft event. The moment I got home, I unearthed my craft junk and decided to make something. Anything.


I wanted to do something with beads.


Then I found all these safety pins I bought from Divisoria. I didn't know what I was going to use them for. They were dirt cheap, so I bought tons in all sizes anyways.


Then, I just started making some random pattern with the beads.


And before I knew it, I had a necklace!

When the creative bug hits you, you just don't know you can come up with. Thanks to the 15 other amazing crafters who inspired me to make something. And thanks to all of you who still find the time to visit my blog. I promise, more crafty things to come. :)

You MUST take a peek at what these 15 amazing people can do!
