Hello 2012

The first Monday of 2012...

It's time to buckle down & get busy...

I've got my eyes set & focused on Goosie Girl...

My goal is to be flourishing so that I can "retire" from teaching 

at the end of the school year...

(sshhh...don't tell my principal!)
and do Goosie Girl full time...

Why not?  
It's what I love 
and am always thinking, researching & learning about...
So with much prayer, I think the time is now...

And I can't wait...

Did you make any resolutions for the new year?

Goosie Girl TIme

Working hard on Goosie Girl
to get her going full time...
Sshhh...don't tell school...
I'm keeping this motto in the forefront...

Struggling with finding the necessary time...

I keep clicking my heels together three times at school 
saying "There's no place like home
to work on Goosie Girl"...
But it hasn't worked...
Hmmm...I really need to talk to Glenda, the good witch, 
about that...

I just need to remember...

kind of like Olivia...
She knows how to get things done...

Any words of wisdom or ideas to help with this?

Goosie Girl Accessories

As you know Goosie Girl has started designing headbands...

What's wonderful about these headbands

(besides the fact they are adorable)

is the fact that the rosettes can be mixed & matched

because they are adhered to the headband with velcro...

So that got me thinking...

After a little research & experimenting

Goosie Girl has added to her collection rings & necklaces...

But here's the fabulous part...

These can all be mixed & matched as well...

The small rosette can be taken off the headband & put on the ring

or the necklace for instant glamour...

It's wonderful...

Click here to pop over to Goosie Girl's Etsy store to take a peek...

Here are a few of the latest Valentine styles...

Oh & by the way...I've named them...

Meet "Juliet"...

Next we have "Lola"...

Lola is a special Valentine creation...

She is adorned with Swarovski crystals for a little bling...

And up next is "Maisy"...

and finally "Lilly"...

Lilly is my favorite to mix & match with...

I love to pair Lilly & Lulu together (see above)...

**I haven't listed the necklaces on Etsy yet...

They hopefully will be added tonight...**

Goosie Girl Update

Goosie Girl apologizes for the lack of posts this week...

I have been working diligently behind the scenes

with some exciting things that I can't wait to show you!

I think it is guaranteed to help "make life pretty"

Be sure to stay tuned (probably on Monday)...

Goosie Girl is dreaming big & reaching for the stars this year...

Don't you just love this pic from Lauren McKinsey ?!

Pop over to her blog, it's adorable...

And I adore her motto..."Think Cute"...

Goosie Girl's New Collection

Well...

I have been lost lately trying to find my way

in the creativity world...
(picture via Heartfulart on Etsy)

I love blogging about all the wonderful ideas I come across...

I love to decorate for parties,

I have a million ideas roaming in my head...

I love to cook & bake but nowadays I don't seem to have the time...

But what I always seem to come back to is

stationery...notecards, invites, tags...

I don't know why I've strayed away from making them 

because I always get rave reviews from those that receive them...

So...

I've decided to be true to myself & start designing again...

The way I like them...

Simple but classy...

Of course with sparkle...no card is complete without glitz...

Some with Swarovski crystals & some without...

I have also added a new component to my cards as well...

matching headbands...

I call it my hostess collection...

I know that I get tired of bringing a bottle of wine...

so this is a unique alternative...

a set of notecards beautifully wrapped with a coordinating headband...

who wouldn't love that?

Perfect for all those holiday parties that you will be attending, no?

So without further ado,

please welcome Goosie Girl's newest collection on Etsy...

Cocktails & Cupcakes is my favorite...

You know you can pop over to Etsy

to see the complete listing...

This is just the beginning...

What do you think?
