Etsy Find Wednesdays #6

Today's finds were actually inspired by the "Awesomely Awful" find... I couldn't even begin to think how that would be categorized! So, I decided to find something cute and seasonal that was crocheted.

Awesomely Awesome

These cute little pumpkins can be found at EternalSunshine's shop for $7 each. A bit pricey but still cute!

Awesomely Awful

This was listed under halloween costume. It's... a nose warmer. While my nose does get cold in the winter, my dignity doesn't freeze over. A bargain at $5 bucks, get yours today from auntmartymadeit's shop. No thanks, Aunt Marty, I'd rather have frost bite.

Plan, plan, plan!

I've been planning T's birthday for a while. I finally have all the details straightened out. I decided not to have the party at my house and to invite more kids since he's playing with others more. I finished the favors today so I'm excited about it :)

The invites I designed from scratch! I'm finally mastering all that PhotoShop has to offer... not bad for first try!?

Box full of favors!

The box I got at Party City. Cute, no!?

I decided to keep it simple and not "junky"

Candy, a temp tattoo, Playdoh and a bouncy ball. Who doesn't love all that!?

The menu has also changed to pizza, cake and drinks. Keeping life simple!

Where I want to be...

Ok so I've always struggled with weight... and I finally had gotten to a size that I was happy with. Yeah, I had a kid, yeah, I know I look "fine" but it's not how I want to look. So, I'm putting it out there... I don't want to get like this:

But I do want to get back to this...

I'm lost somewhere in between. Maybe by this time next year I'll be there! Minus the glasses wearing dog.

Etsy Find Wednesdays...on a Friday

As per S's request, I have reinstated Etsy finds.... I can't let her down. Today's search was inspired by my new desire to wear flowers in my hair. I wore one the other day and got so many compliments I think I should try and get a few more. I'll be the next Niecy Nash!

Awesomely Awesome:

This "autumn assortment" of flowers costs just $6.50 from girlsgirlsgirls. I think it would look cute :)

Awesomely Awful:

Speaking of hair accessories... WHEN would this be necessary... especially with the price tag of $95 dollars. If interested, check out che4u's shop.
