TWELVE TWELVE ETSY SHOP

I. am. tired. Yesterday brought an influx of last minute orders for my customizable Map Art piece. In order to guarantee delivery in time for Mother's Day, I had to get them in the mail this morning, so had to work late! However, they are fun to work on, and I love the finished product. If you are in need of a belated Mother's Day gift, or want a graduation gift for friends from near or far, check out the listing here!

MAKES THE HEART GROW FONDER

This October, I casually started an Etsy shop and have really enjoyed becoming a part of the Etsy universe. Every item is so unique, and it's too easy to spend hours sifting through all that is available. One of my "26 Things" is to expand my Etsy store, but for now I have one item listed:

When my sister decided to move across the country, I wanted to give her something special to put in her new apartment as a reminder that her family is always thinking of her. This is what I came up with, and am very happy with the results. It is a colorful and simple piece of art that can be made to match any decor.

I also created my first treasury yesterday, Makes the Heart Grow Fonder. Absence makes the heart grow fonder...and I've found some creative ways that people are showing it!
