EtsyBlogger's Blog Carnival - Aug. 14th

The two choices we have this time are great and very hard to choose which one to write about....so I'm going to write a little about both.

First, Carrie and I have been working hard building up our inventory in hopes to have a booth at "The Renaissance Festival" this year. Also we've been revamping our shop Ametista to have the look and feel we've truly wanted. Here are a few of the items we've been working on...

The GriM ReaPer MoNsTeR bOx

Night's Grace Artisit Apothecary Bottle

Also a few hand painted and designed photo frames with polymer clay accents...

The Pumpkin King

We've posted before how we were asked to be a part of a "Celebrity Basket" and how we came to own a few WWII French Apothecary bottles and decided to create an apothecary bottles for Helena Bonham Carter and Christina Ricci....and still have more of those bottles we are creating with...busy...busy....

There are so many other items that are still in the works and we will post about them as the progress of each come about.

Second, have you been having fun this summer...gone on vacation? Well yes in between working/creating my family and I went to San Diego, CA. We decided this time we would relax more than go sightseeing since we have been there before. So we spent most of our time at the beach.

My son riding the wave in on his boogie board.
Kids having fun....I mean Luke and Charlie..LOL...

We did do one activity other than being lazy on the beach. We took a tour of the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier. It was awesome and amazing how those guys live when they are out to sea.

Sleeping quarters....

Time to eat.....

It was so huge, we were there for at least 3 hours and still didn't see the whole thing. My son really wanted to get back to the beach...ha ha...He stilled enjoyed looking at everything and the planes.

Go Navy!....LOL!

So now it's time to get in the groove of getting the kids up and ready for school...Hummm...I have mixed feelings about that..LOL.

I hope everyone has had a wonderful summer and busy crafting...creating...selling...and buying.

Bright Blessings!

A birthday present for Christina Ricci.....

This is our entry into Creepy Queen Magazine's celebrity gift basket.
