Shout Outs!

Most of my shout outs are about custom orders or sponsors but today I wanted to mention a few recent creations and additions along with my annual mother's day sale ...

There are only two times a year I hold a 30% off Sale in my Etsy shop and Mother's Day is one of them so this week the time to save big! If you're looking for lovely goodies to gift or covet now is the time.

Just visit my shop at http://www.PlumroseLane.etsy.com and enter coupon code: momsale2012 during checkout.There are loads of seasonal goodies to spruce up your spring blog and many of my banners are now free to use so be sure to visit the Themes section and view the complete A-Z listing or seasonal goodies section.I've just created a few new goodies which you can find listed in my shop, and they include these darling new Faerie theme labels which come in both plain and EDiTAbLE formats.The editables are wonderful because you can add any text you want in whatever font style you like BEFORE you print them out, so they can be used for all sorts of wonderful crafts and projects around the house.
There's also a new assortment of my whimsical handmade key holders ~ they're SO eclectic, elegant, and fun all wrapped up in one sweet way to carry your keys. What I like best is the hook so you can latch your keys to your handbag or belt loop and never get stuck digging for your keys again!So that's it, thanks for stopping by and I hope you're all enjoying a wonderful beginning to the week!

Enjoy~

Sneaky~

I was logging into my blog this morning when to my surprise I saw this...


The thing is, I'm used to seeing this...

It seems that although Blogger has postponed it's mandatory change to the new format ~ primarily because of the major uproar from bloggers ~ it's still trying to switch us over, whether we like it or not.

For those of you like me who are holding onto the old layout until the bitter end, you can easily switch back to the old view. Simply click the gear icon on the right side, to show a drop down menu, and select "Old Blogger interface". I wrote a brief tutorial with screen shots and you can view that by clicking here.

Eventually we will all be moved over but hopefully by then those of us who offer support will have finished updating our tutorials to help with learning the new layout.

So in the meantime, hang in there... and, if you feel like letting Blogger know how you feel you can leave feedback at this link.

Enjoy~

A Few Sponsor Shout Outs~

For those of you who frequent my blog you may have noticed a few new sponsors on the sidebar lately and so I'd like to take a moment to introduce you to them...

Daily Etsy Contest

For those of you who enjoy Etsy here's a real treat and honestly a rather addicting one... Daily Etsy Contest features duels between various Etsy sellers. Visit the site and you're immediately captivated by the endless stream of choices ~ case in point, which would you choose?

Both are lovely handmade creations that took a good bit of time to create but you can only choose one.

To choose just click on the corresponding purple arrow and' voila!' ~ you're hooked! For sellers, it's a great way to gain exposure for your own creations and fun to see if you're a popular choice with voters. So stop by and t-r-r-r-y-y-y it ~ you'll love it! And to find more fabulous goodies, visit their blog too!
Mylana

Next up is Mylana, a wonderful Etsy shop filled with all sorts of fabulous handmade finds ~ Here are a few goodies that definitely caught my attention...
from melting tarts and candles to darling handmade jewelry creations there's something to delight the senses and with their prices your wallet won't mind either!
Memory Bound

Next we have a wonderful brick and mortar location, Memory Bound ~ a full service scrapbook & papercrafting retailer that's just minutes from the heart of the Dallas metroplex in Texas. I know several of you are from that area and so if you're looking for your favorite scapbooking brands or some of the harder to find ones like "Dusty Attic" chipboard then stop by Memory Bound!
Doesn't their store look amazing! Definitely the type I could get lost in for hours and come out with a plethora of new goodies to play with ~ I'm thinking 'road trip'!
Beyond the Lillypad

Now I know many of you have seen Beyond the Lillypad listed in some of my sponsor themed giveaways but have you really looked at their incredible Etsy shop?? I was perusing their offerings today and "Wow!" is all I can say. Just take a look at this 12th century Roman Glass Bronze Ring...

Or the ancient 2-5th century Roman key!!

Yeah, I was just as impressed and the most amazing part is their listings come in all price ranges so there's really something for everyone!
So that's just a sampling of the many lovely locales you'll find over in the "Sponsors" section of my blog and I hope you've enjoyed this little meet and greet. Do take a few moments to visit these wonderful, wonderful sites ~ each is so unique and I just couldn't be more delighted to have them as sponsors.

And... without giving too much away, we have a wonderful sponsor based giveaway extravaganza we're cooking up so keep your eyes open for that a little later this month and as always...

Enjoy~
