Memories for Life Scrapbooks

I belong an Etsy team called Etsy Bloggers. One of our tasks is to blog about the featured blogger of the month. This month's featured artist is Memories for Life Scrapbooks. I can honestly say that I am so glad that I don't scrapbook because if I did, I would be spending a lot of money in this store. Look at some of the great items that I found.











Look at this word Friends album. Isn't this great? What a great item to commemorate events with friends! I love it!






















Look at this! This is a flip flops guest book! Isn't that clever? I love it!





















I know my daughter would love this! It's a My Cat scrapbook album. Isn't this great?

Another place you need to visit is Edi's blog called Memories for Life Scrapbook!
I think you'll like the visit you pay there, too. Don't forget to follow her or put her on your blog roll.

At last, Spring is Here!

If you are reading this before 6:44 AM CST, you must realized that spring has not yet arrived, and winter is still here.
Then, at 6:44 AM CST,
Spring will burst out in Southern Minnesota!
Yahoooo!
It's been a long, cold winter.
What amazed me, this year,
is that so many robins stayed. There were huge flocks of them around.
They must like the cold weather we had!
Now, when I look, I see robins with twigs in their mouths.
I see mama robins waddling around as their eggs grow inside of them.
The crows are here in force.
The twigs they carry for their nests are more like branches.
The snow is finally melted.
Today, I looked in my back yard, and, you know what? I saw stubbles of green grass on the lawn.
There's not a lot yet, but it's almost there.
Take a look at this photo. I don't know if you can tell, but there are teeny, tiny bits of green showing.


It's barely there, but, it's there!

Look at these bare tree branches. Do you see the little tiny nubs at the end of the each branch? Yes, the tree is beginning to bud!
Our temperatures have become, almost over night, more mild.
Our days are brighter.
I can hardly wait!
Spring is finally here!

Etsy Blogger of the Month- Designs by Nora

I belong to an Etsy street team called Etsy Street Team Bloggers. Each month a member of the street team is featured, and this month the featured member is Designs by Nora. If you read her profile, you find out a few tidbits about this young woman.

Nora writes,

"Hello, My name is Nora and I live in Los Angeles, CA. I just graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Art, concentrating on Graphic Design. Besides my love for graphic design, I love making cards, jewelry, playing around with polymer clay, reading and geeking around on the computer."
Doesn't she sound like a fun person?

The next thing you have to do is to look at her Etsy shop, DesignsbyNora. Nora is selling some wonderful earrings she makes out of polymer clay and some purses designed and handmade by her uncle Naz. Take a look at these.

















This little earring set caught my eye. I love the flowers. Talk about reasonably priced! Wow! Check out Nora's store to find out how great all her prices are!

















Here's another pair of stud earrings found in Nora's shop! She really does a nice job with her polymer craft! There are more earrings to see in her shop. Just give it a visit.
Here's one of the purses made by Nora's Uncle Naz. They are awesome!







This gorgeous purse even has a name. It's called Cindy's purse! Wow! Lucky Cindy.

Nora's blog reflects her personality. It's fun to read! She features artisans with beautiful work! Wow! I was impressed. She also asks and answers questions.
"Q: What was your favorite movie when you were a kid? Is it still your favorite now that you're older?"
I had to think about that one! Hmmmmmm. So many to choose from.
"Q: If you could jump in a time machine and travel back to any point in history, where would you go?"
Now, if you want to know what Nora wrote, I'm not going to tell you. Visit her blog to find the answers. They really are interesting.

I think I could write a lot more about Nora. I hope I get to know her through the street team. Check out her store and her blog. You won't be disappointed.
