Sorry For The Long Absence!

Hey there all! Sorry I’ve been offline forever and a day … I got engaged last Wednesday and sort of fell into an engagement hole of sorts. But I’m back online now, and have some great reader-inspired links to share!

I love this gorgeous doll, made using an old spool! Check out all the other great items also in Wnderkind’s Flickr photo stream! (Wunderkind, Inc)

This tennis racket turned jewelry holder is brilliant, and the perfect idea for any sports enthusiast! (Paper N Stitch)

And finally there’s the amazing blog Junk Mail Gems. I’ve been a fan for quite some time, and these great “green” kids birthday invitations are a great find to share with all of you. It’s an adorable post card invitation made from a baby rice cereal box. You can make post cards like this from any box, so if you want to have a candy-themed birthday? Grab some boxes of candy!

I’ll be back tomorrow full-strength with tons of great finds over the next few days.
