Happy Birfday Teedles!

Happy birthday to my bro today...

Trenton Joseph (TJ) Newell.

He's 20 and he did it!

TJ is not only a strapping young man of God, he is also a leather-working extraordinaire! He and his pal Ian have started making homemade leather pieces and have created quite the little business for themselves.

RELIK; trinkets and doo-dads.

He made me the ladies envelope wallet for my birthday back in May and I love it! I get tons of comments on it. Its all hand sewn, burned, and stamped.

Check out their creations, become a follower of their blog HERE, and pick one up for yourself. All one of a kind and totally original.

A Very Pretty Giveaway

Today is an exciting day for me.

why?

because I am hosting my very first giveaway!

I have been wanting to do a give-away for quite a while now, but haven't really had any excess of time on my hands to make anything particularly worthy of giving away. A lame excuse, i know this. Nevertheless...i was asked to do host a giveaway for an amazingly talented little lady, found via my friend Sharlyn, and her refurbished jewelry creations, which i absolutely have fallen in love with. introducing....

Tori at Diamanti

Her etsy shop is Diamanti, and its just perfect.

Am i allowed to win my own give-away? probably not.

Here is whats up for grabs.

i am envious.

here's how it works. its pretty easy folks, there are 3 chances to win.

1)go browse the Diamanti etsy shop and pick out your fav, come back and
leave a comment on why you like it.

2)leave another comment (thats two comments, double chances to win, yesss) if
you are a follower of this blog.

3)post a link to this giveaway on your own blog or on facebook, or twitter (but i dont use twitter so i'll never actually know), and leave a comment with the link!

I'll be picking a winner on Wednesday evening, April 28th.
