More Surprises!


Ok, is this "Surprise Nikki Week"?? I got ANOTHER unexpected goodie in the mail yesterday! YAY! Presents rock my world!! (And you know I'll be totally bummed if I don't get one tomorrow. Not really!) It was a mini canvas from my blog buddy Christine over at Bella Colle. It's petite & sweet. I'm afraid the picture I took doesn't convey how really charming it is! I hung it right away in a spot right by my computer in my art studio. The title of it is "Friends" & it says: "When we stand shoulder to shoulder we are invincible." It's been glitter-fied & the cutest polka dot bow surrounds the whole canvas. Christine is expanding her talents of soldering charms & such, & adding some miniature artwork to her shop. She's got a mini "princess cupcake" canvas people!!






And speaking of cupcakes.....I'm JUST about finished with this! What do you think? It's my newest creation, going into the shop later today. I haven't come up with a schnazzy name yet. They're mini tag chain banners? Too long... I'll come up with something. They're made from those circular hang tags that you get from office supply stores. I made this first one to say "CUPCAKES", but I can custom make any word or phrase. I chose pink as the color theme & had a blast attaching all the little coordinating papers & letters & embellishments.--& of course, glitter! YAY!
**UPDATE: They're in the shop now! Yippee! Click HERE!

  1. Ooh, that is a cute banner. You could just call it a Tag Banner, although that is a name that is a lot more concise than it is interesting :-)
