This Mama is Magic

In the Baby Friendly Beads shop you will find an assortment of necklaces that please mother and baby. I think the reminder bracelets are a great idea for nursing mothers and wish I had one oh so many years ago when I was a nursing mom. If you aren't a nursing mom but know one I think these would make a fantastic gift!

In the Mama's Magic shop she explores even more creative ideas making beaded bugs and fraternal earrings. What are fraternal earrings you ask? You did ask right? According to Jen who explains it very well I think, "They are not identical but definitely a pair." I just love the idea of jewelry that is fun!

Of course being the featured blogger for the month of October by the EtsyBloggers Street Team you know there has to be a blog involved somewhere. Mama's Magic blog is filled with delightful reading of the family life and creative life of this busy lady.

One woman - two shops - one blog and all interesting.

Showing Off in September - Joey and Aleethea

If you are interested in some of the cutest infant and toddler clothes and accessories around you need to take a look at the shop Joey and Aleethea on Etsy. You can keep up with this very busy lady by starting at her blog. Frankly I get tired just thinking about all she does. She has a household with a toddler and a new baby, she sews, she blogs, she is admin of the EtsyBloggers and is a member of several other Etsy Street Teams. She does all the team graphics and is a constant cheerleader of all our endeavors. To use one of her favorite phrases -

Joey and Aleethea you rock!

More Features

Each of the shops below have posted an article on their blogs about my Etsy Shop "A Cozy Life" I am giving you the links to their shops as a way to say thanks. Please go shop, go visit, go say Cozy sent you!

New Week

The start of a new week always has me planning and making mental lists of what I want to accomplish in the next several days. Sometimes I make it all happen and sometimes I don't. Either way as with most lives there is always something I could or should be doing and I like it that way.

To get started with what needs to be done today I am giving thanks to 10 EtsyBloggers who have posted about me and my little shop in the past few days. This doesn't feel like a chore but rather a celebration of team members who are taking part in this monthly feature.

So to keep Monday and the week moving along here they are-

Three More Thanks

Three more thank yous going out today. Take a minute and look at some of the wonderful things in their shops.

More Thank You's Going Out

I was most graciously featured on these three blogs today - Serendipity Collections, Quilts With Heart and Stormy Designs.
The features are part of a group project for the EtsyBloggers Street Team. This is an amazing group of Etsy sellers and bloggers that work hard to raise awareness of Etsy, our shops and other shops belonging to team members. Thinking about being the featured blogger for the month of May still is making me walk around with a silly grin on my face. The things I did for the team like the birthday posts and the mini Mondays were all done just because it was fun but this participation is part of why I was recognized. Last month in April it was Stormy Designs who was featured. She is the person behind our blog carnivals and fantastic to work with. She keeps it all on time and organized. In the coming months I am looking forward to seeing who the future featured sellers are. I can think of several members who have been active from this teams beginnings last year. I will enjoy writing about them all I am sure.

I feel like.....

I feel like I should be giving a speech or something. Since posting is what we bloggers do that is what I am doing. I am a member of the etsybloggers. We are a group dedicated to promoting each other and etsy. We are quite a mixed group crossing all areas of art, craft, vintage and supplies that work together to promote us all. It reminds me of something like a rising tide raises all ships kind of thing.

Anyway the need for the speech/post is because I have been chosen to be the featured blogger for the month of May. I joined this team to take part in something that felt good to me because in a small way I could help others and have some fun along the way. It has been all of that and more. This is an amazing group of people and this will be an amazing month for me. I am looking forward to sharing it as we go along this month.
