Ready for a Road Trip? Retro Style!

I love road trips - especially the kind that involve rockin' music, (might I suggest a little Sam Bradley anyone?) good friends and the anticipation of discovery!
So - I decided to expand the retro goodness beyond your standard steering wheel cover (because everyone already has one of those, right? (no? well then....).
In honor of my sister's birthday a few weeks ago (yep, I like to extend the birthday celebrations and send gifts after the actual celebratory day - you know, just to spread out the love (maybe a smidgen b/c I'm a scattered brained mom too, but don't tell her!  Second thought - she'd totally understand.  She's running her own amazing photography business & chasing 3 little ones around too - so, I digress....) back to the goods!)

Here you have Whoopsie Daisies luggage tags and handle cover! Because you never want your luggage to look like everyone else's! (Just ignore the fact that if you're lugging around this huge, heavy vintage suitcase, no one in the airport is going to have one like it anyway - makes for a cute picture tho, huh?) 
 In all seriousness though - I do love these.  I'm always wrapping bright ribbon around the handles of my boring black suitcase when we fly, so that I can easily spot my bag coming down the luggage ramp.  I'll be making a ton more of these for sure!  


Here is a little make-up bag I made for my sis too  - I'm especially loving the gray/yellow combination here!  




Then, because you want your car decked out in retro style - we have the rearview mirror cozy....


and.... the Steering Wheel cover.  (don't worry, if you're brother in law is not so inclined to drive the mini van around with a floral steering wheel cover  - like someone I know!) - it slips off quite easily and stuffs into the glove compartment.

Happy Road Trippin'!  Hope you're able to squeeze in one or two last trips for the summer!

  Psssstttttt!  Come find me on Twitter!  We'll have fun!  Are you the Facebook sort?

New Logos

I wanted to share with you all my new logos!  I'm so excited - my friend Stacy - from Vampire Craftin came up with these awesome images and colors. 



I've sort of just stumbled along with my graphics/banners/business cards since starting my business in 2005.  However, I could have never created anything like this on my own - totally worth the money!  
Stacy's blog is full of lots of useful information for those projects you want to tackle on your own too - she's just a fountain of knowledge, that girl!


Here is what she has to say about her shop:

I specialize in ONE OF A KIND Business branding packages for the handmade business. The pricing on my one of a kind etsy shops can be reduced if you are not interested in all of the elements, or you can add elements to any of the shop sets. You can find my portfolio on my facebook fan Page. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Vampire-Craftin/168806933169687. I am also a Etsy 817 team member. 
Check out my blog. It is a HOW to blog about graphic design for the handmade business. http://vcgraphicdesigns.blogspot.com/


This is my new business card:



Stacy even created a Facebook logo and Twitter logo for me:


and of course my Whoopsie Daisies etsy shop!



So there you have it!  Now, I just have to get going on my sewing machine and restock my shop.  It's a little crazy around here, (as usual it seems!) with the kiddies home for the summer.... constant messes, playdates, camps, and chatter.  I'm a blessed mom.  

Must run... breakfast dishes still on the table and they are asking for a snack.  Floors need vacuumed and playdates to schedule.  Refereeing and dishes to wash.  Sewing - AH!  - always, sewing to do.... never enough time to do it.

Best Valentine Butter Cookies - EVER! Seriously!

I'm nibbling on one of these delectable little nuggets as I type this (well, the crumbs are falling onto the keyboard - I'll just send the dog in to lick it up in a sec ;)
If you like butter (and who in their sane mind doesn't??) - you'll salivate at these!  I'm serrrr-eeeee-aaassss!
I thought on first glance they were just another sugar cookie, but oh no - more like a shortbread cookie.  I've made 3 batches of these bad boys.  Planned to make just 2, but then I tasted one, and it was all over from there.

They call for lemon zest, which I didn't have - so I substituted lemon extract.  The lemon gives just the right amount of zing to them - you'll die!
You can find the recipe on the February 2010 issue of Southern Living - or just click HERE.

So, I also decided that my kids weren't going to school on Monday with store bought little paper valentines from the drug store (which I'm beginning to think they would have preferred!) - so we (which means "me" actually!  kids only remotely supervised this project, which doesn't really make it "their" project, now does it?  dummy me - they could have written their names on the paper ones and been just as happy, but oh, no!  "Crafty Mom" decided that they needed something a little "different!" o well.) made these little fortune cookie valentines from felt circles.  They have cute little sayings in them like:
"I'm so fortune-ate to have you as a friend"
and "Hugs, Kisses, and Best Wishes"
and "Give me all your candy or I"ll kick you in the knees" (oops! not that one, really.)
I followed the link from Martha Stewart HERE.
I found it a little hard to keep the candies inside, so I ended up hot glueing the edges shut in a few places.  
All in all, I think they turned out pretty darn cute!  
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Peace, Love, & Happiness from Etsy 817

We have had crazy weather here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area lately.  Kids have missed 4 days of school - so guess I've had more time to blog.
Whoopsie Daisies recently joined the Etsy 817 team (Etsy sellers in the 817 area code), and created this treasury to showcase some of the talent in the area!



Peace, Love, & Happiness from Etsy 817

Personalized Vintage Tooth Fairy Pillows

Whoopsie Daisies is Vintage Personalized Tooth Fairy Pillows.  
 Wasn't hard to figure that one out, huh?  I'm very excited to have a main focus as well as a streamlined production system.  With all of the changes taking place in my household, I think this new direction will be one I'm very happy with.

 Will you help me to spread the word?  Find Whoopsie Daisies on Etsy, Facebook, and Twitter!




 This last picture is an example of the name added to the pillow.  (in honor of my BEST customer ever!)
Thanks for all of your support!!!!
