Red Hot Mamas Weekend Scavenger Hunt!

Come Play and WIN!!

Click on the picture or here....

Enjoy!

American Pride

I have a few new items in my shop this week. The first item is a Business Card Cozy. This cozy is full of American Pride. Made in the USA!!!!! Just in time for 4th of July Celebrations.

I also have a new handbag style that is Made in the USA!!! This is a draw string handbag. Carry this around all your 4th of July celebrations to show how much you LOVE the USA!!!!

So head on over to my shop Handmade by Andrea Baker. This set is going to look Fabulous on you.

MOTHER Glass Marble Bracelet

Mothers always have a way of making things better, if it is a boo boo or just giving you a pick-me-up so why not show them how much you care with this awesome glass marble bracelet that spells MOTHER.

This 1/2" to 3/4" size glass marbles are on a silverplated 7 inch bracelet form with clasp. What I love most is that each marble magnifies the letter behind it which makes it just pop! The letters are made to look distressed.

Want your own custom word bracelet? No problem, you can choose six letters! It is very lightweight and easy to put on, even if you have long nails!

Some fun birthday ideas

For a fun birthday party idea- make each kid a superhero. For my nephews birthday party my sister wanted to do something fun for the kids but that can be used again after the party- so each kid got their very own superhero cape and utility belt. The capes are personalized for each kid, my son Adam was the Atom bomb and my daughter Megan was Flower Power.

The utility belts have little felt characters that are removable- they are attached using velcro. The belts tie around the kids waist using ribbon. The back of the cape has their superhero logo appliqued to the back and you can add an initial or leave it blank. Also instead of having the capes tie around the neck- arm attachments have been added.

A fun blast for the kids plus it helps wear them out from all the flying around the room they do. :o)

Sardana Creations

As I was reading through the comments on my latest Treasury before it expires today, an avatar caught my eye. So, of course I went to check out the shop. Low and behold, the shop owner is one of our new members of FAM! Here are a couple of pieces for SardanaCreations's Shop.

I love this gorgeous lavender beadwoven bracelet which truly is a one of a kind!

She is also very clever! What a great idea to include different charms for this adorable bracelet!

The Snowflake Factor!

It is said that no two snowflakes are the same. Each and every snowflake has its own unique pattern and design, separating it from all other snowflakes. It is individual, special and fabulous.
That's what I think of when I think of the of the FAM teams handmade items - individual - special - one of a kind!

No matter which shop from our team you wander through you are bound to find something gorgeous for either someone you love or yourself that is like no other. There is no mass production here just Fabulous Artistic Moms creating unique items for sale through their Etsy shops. Lots of our FAM team members would be more than happy to work with you on a custom order to further guarantee that individuality of what it is you desire.

These are just a sprinkling of the 'Snowflake Factor' custom items you could have:

~ With the Antique Basket Lady you can create your own Mini Wallet. This little case is ideal to stash business cards, receipts, extra cash, driver's license, credit cards...Great as a gift...and add a gift card.


~ With Bam Designs you and your little one together can create a personalized T-shirt. What can be better than letting your child design their own birthday t shirt? They can pick the colors of the train, add their name and even their age to this fun birthday shirt.


~ With Handmade by Andrea Baker you can create your own apron as individual as you. Are you selling at a craft show? Do you work at a restaurant? Are you a gardener? Love to cook? Are you a crafter? This is the perfect apron for you. This apron would make a great gift for a friend or family member as well.


And these two items I'm excitedly waiting to arrive in the mail - both custom created along side the Fabulous Artistic Moms who hand make them.


~ With Melanie's Crafts you too can have a Personalized Fairy Ornament. An ornament with your child's name on it - you can't get much more of the 'Snowflake Factor'.


~ With luv4sams you can create Custom Atlas Map City or Town Button Magnets. Have a favorite destination that you'd like to collect souvenirs from? here is the the greatest thing... atlas map magnets! These also make a great gift if you have loved ones that travel alot. You get 7 magnets total - so you can pick any seven (7) city or town in a US atlas.


The possibilities for your own "Snowflake Factor' item are endless when it come to handmade and especially when it's from a unique group like the Fabulous Artistic Moms!

Today, It's All About DAD!

Here are some goodies that my Dad would like.

My Dad loves football and he likes a good beer too, so this Quilted Football Beer Cozy, by pandys, would be right up his alley.



My dad spent years restoring a 1920's Model A Ford. This car looks like it may be from the same era. He also loved driving Route 66 on his trip out West. So, I think that he would enjoy this piece of artwork by ljdesignphoto.


My dad also loves the woods. And where I grew up in Maine, there are plenty of woods to be had. This "Ah Man, I'm Lost" Compass, by luv4sams, would be a great gift as well. I remember my dad teaching me how to read a compass as a little girl.

Welcome to the FAMily!

Today we welcomed 11 new members to our Etsy Street Team "FAM", aka Fabulous Artistic Moms! Please help welcome these fabulous shops to the FAM!

Finally did it!

Kinda exciting but i finally finished the first of many outfits for Megan. I keep finding all this fun material but just can not find the time to do anything with it. My oldest is out for the summer and the heat is keeping the two little ones inside a lot so that means mom has to be the entertainment. I finally made the time to do it- late nights are the best time to work. It is great when everyone is asleep and the house is quiet.

Megan's little halter top is made with a cute City Girls Print- wish i could remember the name- by Moda- i love the brown and turquoise colors. The gauchos are made with a turquoise shirting knit- light and perfect for the summer heat. I plan to make more soon since i just got some cute new cupcake material and other fun prints in. I am working on a new top right now that i hope to have done soon.

Friday the 13th – A look at a silly superstition

It is traditionally believed that Eve tempted Adam with the apple on a Friday. Combine this bit of tradition with numerologists believing that 12 is a complete number. There are 12 months in a year, 12 signs of the zodiac, 12 gods of Olympus, 12 labors of Hercules, 12 tribes of Israel, and 12 apostles of Jesus. In exceeding 12 by 1, 13's association with bad luck has to do with just being a little beyond completeness.

How far will society go to avoid the number 13? Some facts for your amusement:

- More than 80% of high-rises lack a 13th floor.

- Many airports skip the 13th gate.

- Airplanes have no 13th aisle.

- Hospitals and hotels regularly have no room number 13.

- Italians omit the number 13 from their national lottery.

- On streets in Florence, Italy, the house between number 12 and 14 is addressed as 12 and a half.

- Many cities do not have a 13th Street or a 13th Avenue

- In France, socialites known as the quatorziens (fourteeners) once made themselves available as 14th guests to keep a dinner party from an unlucky fate.

- Many triskaidekaphobes (those who fear the number 13) point to the ill-fated mission to the moon, Apollo 13.

- If you have 13 letters in your name, you will have the devil's luck . Jack the Ripper, Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer, Theodore Bundy and Albert De Salvo all have 13 letters in their names.

So let me assure you that the FAMs respect the number 13. We promise to not tempt you with apples, though we may have apples on our fabulous handmade items. We are a group comprised of over 120 members (10 new members are pending! :o). And we are dedicated to bringing the best of a variety of handmade wares to your door!
