 Meet my good friend WyldCat! I've known her for gosh about 4 years now on Etsy! She's a doll and hilarious! We are both a part of the same team on Etsy, called The CrazyBNR (you can find us HERE ).   She makes the yummiest breads, and the most awesome laundry soap you will ever try! In fact, i will never buy any other but hers, it  makes your clothes smell amazing too!! But, don't worry! She assures us that she doesnt make a Laundry Soap Bread LOL

♥ What inspired you to start selling online? and how did you get started? 

    " Well to be honest I needed a little extra cash so I started poking around and found Etsy."

♥ What is your most favorite piece you have made and why? 

"hmm tough one but I would have to say that it is my Sourdough Rosemary Potato Bread"

Wyld also sells amazing recipes for you to try! From black bean brownies, homemade graham crackers, even taco seasoning!! I am a huge fan of her recipes! They are definitely worth trying out!!  

I of course, had to ask a few fun questions too! 

♥  If you could have any celeb buy from you, who would it be?

" hmmmmm maybe Gordon Ramsey!"

* Whats your Fave color? - Black
* Whats your fave tv show? -Walking Dead

Tagged! You're It!

The lovely A-Lou Creations Tagged me on her blog HERE . Seemed like a fun blog post! The hard part is figuring what 10 random things to tell you about me!

1. I am a huge Big Brother Fan! ok ok , better word would be addict! It starts July 9th and i cannot wait!! Yes, i am even getting the live feeds! lol (if any of you are fans too, let me know! so we can dish!)

2. My middle name is April - yes i was named after the month i was born in! My parents are creative huh! lol

3. Speaking of birth - my bday is April 22nd, which also happens to be Earth Day (which totally fits who i am) and i love that!

4. I am not married and have no kids. Though i still hope to find "the right one" some day, i know i will never have kids. Many of my friends/family have a hard time accepting this - but since i was a kid, i always knew i would not have kids. I love them, just don't want them.

5. I collect masks - yep masks! lol i have lots all over my home - from different countries even! Japan, China, Africa, Mexico... I find something very mysterious about them.

6. I am currently fascinated by ghosts, spirits and the like. Have had a lot of experiences lately that is making me search even more about this topic.

7. My nickname all through school (and still to this day with old HS friends) is ewok (yes the furry lil guys from star wars) lol Came from a Halloween party many many many moons ago and just stuck! I don't mind so much, its kind of cute!

8. I have one brother, who is just a year older than me and i have a half sister i am just now getting to know (she found my mom about 8 years ago i guess) who is about 5 years older than me.

9. My grandfather- who means the world to me - was just put into a nursing home. He is in stage 5 Alzheimer, and its been very rough on all of us. He was one of the main reasons i moved to Saint Louis.

10. I was born and raised in Texas - the Dallas/Ft. Worth area to be exact!

Ok so now to pass this on!

This is how it will work - I now get to tag 10 other blogs. If you are tagged, then you must list 10 facts about you and pass it on to 10 others!

It's all About Cake!!

So I realize it's been far too long since I lasted posted anything to my blog. I figured it was high time i did! I racked my brain for the longest time trying to think about what to post and write about. I love to feature etsy sellers mostly on here. But who would be hext? It's so hard to decide.

So then i thought, why not highlight the lovely gals from the CAKE thread i am a part of on Etsy! They have been so incredibly nice and are just a ton of fun, and each one extremely talented!

So i guess it would be good to tell you what CAKE stands for first lol. CAKE = Creative Artists Kick-Ass Etsians. Anyway, it's a great group of people! They are, as i understand it, kind of an unofficial street team on etsy. But couldnt be any nicer people! We have a ton of fun on the thread - http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5688856 come check it out sometime!

I wish i could highlight each of the shops seperatly, but i am afraid it would take about 20 pages to do so! lol So here are just a few of my many favorites among them!

I just love this print from celebratelife. Her shop is so full of fun, cute, bright, cheery prints, cards and now pendants. Everything about her pieces just makes you smile! Just a blurb from her profile . "I'm a mom, sister, daughter, aunt and friend, and I believe that everything happens for a reason and that each and every day is a reason to celebrate."

Now if i could, if i won the lottery or something, i think i would buy this whole shop out! This beautiful piece of pottery is made from happylake. Her pieces are unique, one of a kind, and true treasures! I can only imagine her pictures don't do her work justice.

This really awesome suncatcher was made by none other than beadbug ! She makes all kinds of fun fused glass pieces, from pendants to suncatchers, and well all kinds of jewelry! I also really love her ladybug pendants too!

Cozyloft i think is known for her whimsical owls, and her shabby chic sachets, but i dont think many often see her beautiful art that she does too! Called Small World, I really love this original painting, described as modern minimalist. She was also, I believe, the first person i met on the CAKE thread and welcomed me in!

Now who wouldnt be captivated by this stunning necklace! It surely caught my eye! I am not sure i personally could pull it off, but i do definitly love it! Called Lusca Boho Chic Octopus, it really does just catch the eye. All of voleurdebijoux pieces have this old world romance feel about them. Truly stunning, and such a unique style and feel. To wear one of her pieces is like wearing mini treasures.

Behind Closed Doors is one of my favorites of DistressingDelilah's. Her photographs, mixed media, jewelry are all so unique and have this mysterious feel to them. She often uses old, vintage, and retro things to create her pieces, which i just love! Sometimes, dark, sometimes scary, sometimes sweet, but all very awesome!

I truly wish i could post something from each of the shops. And maybe my next blog post i will try and feature those i couldn't this time. But for now, please check out the shops! I have listed each one of the members below too, so you can have fun browsing them! They are all super nice and very friendly! Or come say hi sometime in the thread!
