MemoriesForLifeSB Etsy-Mini Monday!

I love browsing a shop where it is clear that the artist loves her work, and that is what I found while researching today's Mini-Monday. Edi started out simply enough: making cards with rubber stamps, eventually graduating to scrapbooking, and she now makes her own embellishments, decorations, albums and other notions. Her claim that she can make almost anything from paper is truly not boasting, I believe she can.

Working a full-time job and studying for her MBA do not seem to limit her creativity and you can tell she loves what she does as she most probably has to go without sleep to get it all done! Check out her blog at http://memoriesforlifescrapbooks.blogspot.com/ for works in progress, sources of her inspiration and updates on everything Edi!

BULL Blog Carnival

The BULL! Blog Carnival is now ready for your reading enjoyment!

Thank you to everyone who submitted their posts last week - great job!!

Stormy Designs Mini-Monday

A magical mini-monday is a fantastic way to start off this month and showcase our featured blogger, Stormy Designs. I've been a fan of Stormy since I have met her, both for her talent as a clay artist, and for all she has added to our fantastic street team and the time she puts into co-coordinating the weekly blog carnivals.


Her simply-put profile statement explains that; "Stormy Designs offers unique sculptures, art, home decor, art jewelry and accessories for your shopping pleasure. All of my creations are hand-made with love."


One stop at her shop will prove to you that she is a uniquely talented artist, using not only shape, but beautiful pearly colours and blends to create polyclay magic.

Do not forget to stop by her blog at http://www.stormydesigns.biz/blog/ for news on the shop, life and adventures on the internet.
