HAITI BY HAND new etsy shop and blog

                                            

calling all etsy shop owners and shoppers--------- i just have to share this with everyone today- i am sure you have heard or seen rebecca sowers art, i personally, have always loved her work. if you click her link you will get the details of what she is doing for, and how we can help some very special ladies in haiti. she has opened an etsy shop where 100% of proceeds will be sent directly to haiti. it took me about 6 hours to get this picture in my sidebar linked to the shop last night, geesh! i was getting interupted now and then, but 6 hours? ohmygosh! whine, whine, whine, anyway,

here is the link to  the "haiti by hand" blog and their etsy shop is here  -or just click that great little picture on the top of my sidebar. lol. if you are an etsy shop owner maybe you would like to donate some of your goodies through this shop or, if you are looking for wonderful, handmade items or supplies, take a peek. i hope to be selling some stuff there myself! i love this idea, and hope that we will  eventually be able to purchase items handmade by these talented ladies from haiti in the near future right from their etsy shop!

my prayers and thoughts go out to you all in haiti!

new 2010 planner/journal "a time for everything"

geesh, i hope this new year is off to a great start for everyone! yeah, a new decade too, the last one went too fast and was not the happiest either.

i have created a planner for this new year, it is made in 4 sections; winter, spring, summer and autumn, with calendars, pockets, and 5 printed lined pages for each month. there are 30 something -pictures to look at here, yikes!

                                               

there are 7 pewter charms attached to a chain and hanging  from the top binding ring that you may disconnect and use on your pages, if you would like.

                                               

open showing seasonal dividers.

                                    

here is the front of the "winter" divider with 2 pockets.

                                    

the flip side of  "winter" with 2 more pockets and the facing page with a january calendar

                                    

the flip side of  of the january calendar with 2 side pockets. each of the printed lined pages are inked and stamped. as you can see here this planner is thick, about 2" and i wasn't able to use my zutter, but 7 gypsies has these great binding  rings, they are antique silver in color instead of those office store shiny ones.

there we go. i created the double sided lined papers from ivory "domtar nekoosa linen" writing. each divider and the covers are covered chipboard. this planner measures 5.5" X 8.5" X 2" and the pages are 4.75" X 8.5" with the calendars measuring 4- 3/8" X 7.25". 

i had fun putting this together and hope that even though we are into january, some busy person will be able to use this planner to keep organized the rest of this year! it is listed here in my etsy shop.

thanks for taking a look, lets make this 1 creative year! good night for now my friends! -rebecca

Happy 2010!
