I am finally dipping my toe into gardening. I have wanted to try it for a long time now. I love the idea of growing vegetable for my meals. And being able to go out to the yard to get fresh herbs. And when I saw this adorable ceramic snail on Etsy, I knew he had to be the first addition to my garden.
I got this guy from Sand Ceramics on Etsy, a wonderful seller that I will definitely do business with again. I hope to get several of her pieces to add to my garden. The shop owner Vicki, is super nice; and the items are shipped quickly and really, really well padded.
I have not named this guy yet, but I am taking suggestions! Just leave them in the comments section

I was so excited to discover a hidden Mickey at Disneyland yesterday. Not one I had heard about from someone, read about online or seen in a book.
We visited the Big Thunder Ranch Petting Zoo to pet the goats and see the horses and Pancho the Burro. Off to the side of the log cabin, in a pile of discarded horse shoes, I spied it.
Here is a close up
Yippee!

I have created a series of jewelry inspired by World of Warcraft, a role playing game. These earrings are made from red, white and black man-made stone and copper wire, and were inspired by the Horde capital city of Orgrimmar, located in the desert of Durotar.
Welcome to the capital city of Orgrimmar, located in the foothills of Durotar, a bastion of the Horde. Once ruled by the legendary Shaman and Orc War Chief, Thrall. Now Hellscream rules here for a time amid the clamor and clatter of Goblins, Orcs, Trolls, Tauren, Blood Elves and the Undead.
Every race of the Horde faction going about their daily business and preparing for battle against all who would oppose them and flying to and fro on the Orgrimmar Skyway “The zeppelin to Undercity has just arrived! All aboard for Tirisfal Glades!” Oh! I’ll see you later. I’ve gotta go!
If you like these earrings, feel free to browse my store to see more in my series World of Warcraft inspired jewelry. Right now I have over 30 pieces of game inspired jewelry in my Etsy shop. I am designing and creating more each week.
These Orgrimmar earrings measure 2 inches in length. I hand-make each pair of earrings when as they are ordered. Each bead is unique. The ear wires and wire wrapping is hand made and will also vary from pair to pair. Each bead is unique. I always wrap each pair in a silver organza drawstring bag, with a game-themed tag with either the World of Warcraft logo (default) Horde or Alliance symbol.
The images of Orgrimmar are screenshots taken by me on my adventures in Azeroth and beyond. To learn more about WoW, or Orgrimmar please visit http://www.wowwiki.com/Orgrimmar.

In my series of jewelry inspired by World of Warcraft, a role playing game, I could not pass up one of my favorite locales in the game: Stranglethorn Vale (or STV for short.) Back in Vanilla WoW it was one of those places where you wanted to quest but you were not really sure you would survive alone. The Hunter and the Skinner/Leatherworker found a little corner of Nirvana here.
The rope bridge creaks and sways under the combined weight of you and your mount, as you ride out over the lush jungle setting. Suddenly you hear a voice call out, “Arrr, Me Hearties! I be havin’ some extra Treasure that I be givin’ away at the Gurubashi Arena! All ye need do to collect it is open the chest I leave on the arena floor!” Sounds easy enough, right?
But when you arrive at the Gurubashi Arena, you find that every hopeful gladiator, wild troll, pirate and cut throat in Stranglethorn Vale has shown up to claim the bounty. Do you dare enter the fray and fight for the treasure, or wait for the dust to settle and buy the earrings that caught your eye from the victor who is willing to trade for a bit of gold?
If you like these earrings, feel free to browse my store to see more in my series World of Warcraft inspired jewelry. Right now I have over 30 pieces of game inspired jewelry in my Etsy shop. I am designing and creating more each week.
These Stranglethorn Vale Earrings measure approximately 2.25 inches in length. I hand-make each pair of earrings when as they are ordered. I always wrap each pair in a silver organza drawstring bag, with a game-themed tag with either the World of Warcraft logo (default) Horde or Alliance symbol.
The images of Stranglethorn Vale are screenshots taken by me on my adventures in Azeroth and beyond. To learn more about WoW, or the region of Stranglethorn Vale, please visit http://www.wowwiki.com/Stranglethorn_Vale.

I have created a series of jewelry inspired by World of Warcraft, a role playing game. These earrings are made from purple and green faceted baeds and antique brass, and were inspired by a location in the city of Darnassus called The Howling Oak.
Oi! Hello. Ain’t you a chipper looking one? Welcome to The Howling Oak, Mate!
The Night Elves in Darnassus have graciously provided a home for their Alliance allies, the Worgen here inside this enormous tree.

I have created a series of jewelry inspired by World of Warcraft, a role playing game. These earrings are made from dyed fresh water pearls and labradorite chips, and were inspired by a zone in the game called Thousand Needles.
What has become of Thousand Needles after the great sundering you ask? Well, the Great Lift has been destroyed, and the Grimtotem have taken over Freewind Post. Oh yeah, and you’d better find a boat if you are headed to Fizzle and Pozzik’s Speedbarge. The Cataclysm has flooded once dry ravines and gulches, and the buttes are all but submerged in the on rushing waters that empty out into the giant lake that was once the Shimmering Flats.
RIP Steelsnap

I loved this DIY tutorial on how to make your own Molskine journal on the cheap from Josie at FineAndFeathered.com and thought I’d share it. All it takes is some paper, cardboard, glue stick and thread. If you want to get fancy and add decoration and embellishments, or rounded corners, feel free to go crazy
