Treasury Round Up

I've been featured in some lovely treasuries lately!  Thanks to the treasury makers!  
This is Part One of two.

Sharla of Beaded Tail featured my set of 4 tie dyed bright rainbow washcloths in Hearts, Frogs and a Cat OH MY!  (My Blogging Business Artisans teammates sure know how to brighten up a winter day!)

Sharla makes beautiful jewelry and donates a portion to animal causes.  These cute kitty earrings can be found HERE.

Karen of Mystic Wynd featured my red silk scrunchie in Skinamarinky Dinky Dink, Shinamarinky Doo (Gifts that say "I LOVE YOU" from the Blogging Business Artisan Team.)

Karen makes lovely jewelry such as this Spring green retro necklace.

Sheryl of Sher Hastings Designs featured my pink silk scrunchie in Love, Romance, Flowers, and Hearts  (From the softest shades to the vibrant reds, these things represent love and romance in my mind.)

Sher sells her graphic designs such as this one--Love is in the Air--in her etsy shop and on her own website. She also designs patterns for sewing.

I'm linking my Treasury Round Up with Rose's blog Random Creative.   Come see more treasuries here and link up your own treasury posts!  Rose will leave the linky up through next Saturday.

Mystic Wynd

An awareness of peace and love rose anew,

As the spirit found truth and the Mystic Wynd blew…

It spoke with a voice the heart at once knew,

The wisdom of sages, resounding and true.

Poetic words written by Karen, express her spirit which is reflected in her blog and her works of art and craft.

Come now.  Meet Karen  "...pull up a chair, get comfortable, and share a part of [her] world..."

First let me introduce you to her BLOG, appropriately named Mystic Wynd.  Karen likes to write about a variety of topics, sharing her thoughts and ideas about life and the world.  She often enjoys illustrating her "ramblings" with products.   Listen to this!  "Spring is just around the corner, and here in the deserts of South Central Arizona, we don't really have that springtime thaw to wait for, or that first blade of green grass to tell us that spring is on its way. So how do we know spring has arrived? Lizards." 

(I love this banner!)

Now come visit her 3 shops!

Mystic Wynd: "Embrace your spirit of fashion with jewelry and gifts for your every mood!"  This shop has such a variety, you must go see for yourself!

Mystic Wynd Elegance:  "You want your special day to reflect your joy and excitement..."

The Crafters' Cabinet:  supplies and destash

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is the most wonderful celebration!  It is a time of family love and togetherness.  It's my family's favorite holiday.  This year, we might:

Besides Thanksgiving fare, my family loves to cook.  We'll spend many happy hours in the kitchen creating, talking, laughing.  (photo of vegetable soup)
