Wanderlust (treasury Tuesday).

There's just one treasury to share this time, but it's a beautiful one! This travel inspired collection is full of amazing maps used in many creative ways. Enjoy!

Green, and blue, and pink for spring (treasury Tuesday).

Lots of treasuries to share this week. I did something a little different this time, instead of putting the link to the treasury in the title underneath, I made the pictures into links. Let me know how you like it.

Spring is in the air (treasury Tuesday).

I can't believe how fast this year is going by already! Spring begins in just one month, but it feels like 2013 just began. These two treasuries are helping me get in the mood for spring however. Enjoy!

Four for one (treasury, but not Tuesday).

I'm bringing you these treasuries early this week because there's something very special on Tuesday. January 22nd is the day we all unveil our creations for Get Your Chef On: Pears, and I can't wait to show you what Ive whipped up.

The first treasury is one that I created in honor of Punxsutawney Phil and his shadow. The other three are fantastic treasuries that feature some of the items from my shop. Enjoy the eye candy!

San Diego love (treasury Tuesday).

I've been really enjoying making treasuries recently. It's inspiring to see all of the fabulous creativity that is on Etsy; the first two of these are entirely made up of items from San Diego. What a fabulous city this is!

A treasury bonanza (treasury Tuesday).

Hello! It's been a while so I wanted to pop in to say "Hi," and to let y'all know I'm still alive and kicking over here. Life's been pretty busy recently, and I just haven't had the time or energy to blog. With the holidays coming up December's guaranteed to be another busy month as well. I'm hoping to get back to blogging regularly in the new year. For now, enjoy these lovely treasuries that I've been featured in this month.

Wishing you a safe and happy holiday season!

A few of my favorite shops (treasury Tuesday).

The other day, I was looking through my past purchases on Etsy, and I was surprised to see how cohesive the product pictures looked together. That's when I realized I should make a treasury featuring the shops and items that I have been delighted with (I've had very very few less-than-awesome Etsy experiences, but I definitely did not include those shops here!).

Many of these are the actual item I purchased, either for myself or as gifts. Those are our wedding rings, that is my camera bag, and the boys I watch love those wooden trucks. These shops also all gave me excellent customer service, which is incredibly important to me.

I'm also very excited to tell you that I am guest posting over on White Lights on Wednesday today! Julie is so awesome, and I'm honored that she let me take over her blog for a day.

I'll be showing you how to make this delicious risotto that requires less than 10 minutes of stirring! Oh, how I love shortcuts! Be sure to go check it out (and if you haven't read White Lights on Wednesday before, be sure to check out Julie's blog too!).

Easy risotto for two, with chicken sausage and peas.

Come on in, the water's divine (treasury Tuesday).

It's June, and summer is almost officially here. It's time to jump in and get wet!

Come on in, the water's divine!

Romance is in the air (treasury Tuesday).

 June is just a few days away, and that means that it is wedding season! Our one year anniversary is coming up next week, so these treasuries really made me smile. I also have a few friends who will be getting married next June, so I'm always on the lookout for sweet wedding accessories. The music themed items are just perfect for one of the couples I know.

Hearts and roses, oh my (treasury Tuesday).

I just adore these two sweet treasuries that Ilona Busch (from Nonoluna) curated last week. With Mother's day coming up (May 13th this year), there is a lot of great gift inspiration collected here. Click on the title under each picture to go to Etsy where you can buy all of these pieces. Enjoy!

Go play in the dirt (treasury Tuesday).

Go play in the dirt!

We've had such beautiful weather recently, and I just want to spend all of my time outside! I even got to go kayaking and swimming last week. Here's a picture I snapped with my phone a few evenings ago:

CMYK: Bring on the brights (treasury Tuesday).

Happy Spring! I am loving the longer days and late sunsets.

We had a rainy weekend here (Irish weather for St. Patrick's Day!), so I needed some bright colors to cheer up the day. I can't look at Cyan, magenta, and yellow without smiling; they are such happy colors. I hope you all enjoy this treasury as much as I do (click on the caption under the picture to see the collection on Etsy).

"Pastel" me a story (treasury Tuesday).

After putting this collection together, I'm ready for soft Spring breezes, blue skies, and chocolate Easter bunnies! ... and yes, I know that "pastel me a story" is a really cheesy pun, but I just couldn't help myself. Sorry ;)

"Pastel" me a story

We have had some nice Spring-like weather here (only two more weeks and it is officially Spring!), but we've also had some yucky grey weather recently. Basically the weather has been flip-flopping every few days; I wish it would just stay warm.

My birthday was a few weeks ago, and luckily it happened to be a beautiful day. We had a lovely picnic in one of the local parks. Here I am (you can also see my awesome new camera bag on the right - the hubby got it for me from Etsy!).

Emerald isles (treasury Tuesday).

I can't believe St. Patrick's day is less than a month away. February is flying by! To get in the spirit, I made a treasury inspired by Ireland.

I'm also excited to tell you that my Etsy shop is sponsoring a giveaway over at Laura DeLuca's blog. Head over there to win a trinket box and gift certificate from MdoubleM.
