I have been featured

I received this email from an intern at Etsy.

Greetings!

I’m Katie, the intern here at the Etsy blog.

Congratulations! I’m not sure if you’ve seen it yet, but your item has been selected for our Pet item poll on the Storque.

You can check out the poll here: http://www.etsy.com/voter_list.php?ref=voter&room_id=44

Make sure to spread the word, blog the link, and let people know about it so that they can vote for your item. The winner will be featured on the Etsy blog!

Warmly,
Katie

Out of the millions of items, I was blown away that my Memory Box was chosen to be voted on by the Etsy community.

This Memory Box is of Raggs and Devon, 2 of my dogs that are waiting for me at Rainbows Bridge.

I wanted to show for Mom’s day that even if you are a Mom’s of four legged children, like I am they can give you something to smile about.

If you have not been to Etsy yet, it is a must.  A web site dedicated to all things hand made.  You will be fascinated at the amazing talent that there is to be found.

I have a store there, that is where you can purchase from me if you are not in the area of my studio.

Enjoy,

Susan

Mother’s Day around the corner, something to make them smile

May 10, 2009 is this years day to celebrate Mom’s.  No matter if her children have 2 or 4 legs (not to say that us humans have more than 2 legs, but my children are 2 Jack Russell’s and they should join in the celebration).  I blogged about my Memory Boxes in December and the response was over whelming.

One of my favorite boxes I have done has been for Margaret Roach of her famous Frogboys.

They are a blast to make and assuring who ever opens the box with their Memory Box inside will have a big smile.

Let these inspire you.  They have me every time I make one. The Memory Box pictured of the 2 big black dogs, Raggs a Newfoundland and Devon a Newf/Lab mix are no longer with me, they are waiting with some others at Rainbows Bridge.
