Creative Sprinkle...

Meet Marie Young @ Creative Sprinkle

Marie is the proud artist of the collection below


I really can't say much about what she does because I do not quite understand how she makes such creative items. I CAN say she has some of the prettiest and most unique wedding toppers I have ever seen. Many brides today (and of past) wants that unique item for their wedding... well if you want something more traditional than I would say look elsewhere ---- BUT if you want a unique, ONE OF A KIND, individual item for one of the most spectacular days of your life... then you NEED to check out her blog and her store. That's all I'm saying. ;) And why not birthday parties and anniversary parties - why do cake toppers only need to go on WEDDING cakes.... They don't -- so go take a look and send her a message - she does do custom orders :)

What a feature...

This week I was honored here by fellow blogger. Thanks

My website is UP and RUNNING... Take a few minutes to check it out and let me know what you think DDD


On a personal note - its been a crazy few weeks. Dani got the stomach bug for the first time 2 weeks ago. On family portrait day. Yes portraits were canceled. We reschedule for the following Saturday only to find Declan had the stomach bug. I'm convinced they were just nervous about the photos ;) Luckily we made it through it on round 2 - Hope to post some pics soon (as soon as I see them)...

On a business note - have some super cute onesies added to my store....


GIVEAWAY - I will be doing a giveaway on a blog soon.... STAY TUNED
Auction - I will be doing a $25 gift certificate auction TOO... STAY TUNED

Proud to showcase....

All I can say is "wow" what cute and spectacular pieces. Christine takes ordinary things (ie metal) and transforms them into a work of art! Not one thing on her blog or in her etsy store is short of amazing. With such beautiful items I do not know how she keeps things listed in her store.

Her blogs title "everyday life :: mixed with inspiration + creativity" says it all.... Two of my favorite pieces



Take a few seconds to go check out her original art that she has turned into beautiful jewelry you can wear.

Each Monday....

from here on out... I will be giving a shout out to a fellow Blogger Street Team member and telling you a little bit about their items that they make.

To start with I think its a little bit ironic that the feature of the weeks store name is "Dandee" -- I think its a pretty great name ;) So back to the STORE information- this store has some great items I think everyone needs to browse - Some of the cards offered had me smiling pretty darn big.

AND the good thing is these cards are REASONABLY priced... Here is the special right now *ALL CARDS ARE BUY 3 GET 1 FREE! Or if you want the 10 for $40 deal please use the link below & list your 10 cards in the 'message to seller' during check out.

So stop by and show Dandee some love - I know I've already picked out a few cards ;)
