Whatever

I opened! I finally opened!! Natsy Tatsy Designs is up and running!!!!! I've been making earrings, bracelets, gift tags, cards and all sorts of handmade things and giving them as gifts forever. With the urging of some very sweet friends, I decided to open up an etsy shop to sell my handmade creations. I am starting with earrings. I hope to have lots more items listed within the next week.

A pine cone tree and this Noel sign that was only $.99! What a steal! I have been eager to try spray painting with gold metallic paint. I've seen so many crafters and bloggers using it and even though I am usually drawn to silver, I knew I had to experiment. I am so glad that I did. I can't stop. This Noel sign was is just one of the many things I've spray painted gold. I even spray painted our pumpkins gold! I'll share those projects in another post. I don't want to overwhelm you.
