Karens*Creations on Etsy!

I've finally decided to make the plunge and opened a shop on http://www.etsy.com/. This site is a terrific place to shop for unique handmade items. I'm always amazed at the terrific talent represented here. Click on the logo below to enter my new store.

I will still continue to offer items on my website - my Etsy offerings will be more one-of-a-kind items so be sure to check back often for new listings. It's never too early to start shopping for the holidays!

Glimpes of Gustav

As Hurricane Ike roars into Galveston I'm reminded of Hurricane Gustav that made his appearance almost 2 weeks ago. Here are some pictures I took of damage on my street:

I pray for the safety of everyone in the path of Hurricane Ike.

My First Attempt at Blogging

I've wanted to blog for a very long time, but like most things unfortunately, I've procrastinated. No longer! Here I will showcase my latest creations as well as other fun things going on.

Hurricane Gustav plowed his way through here last Monday. We are all well with minimal damage, thank goodness. Some of my neighbors were not so fortunate. I'll post pictures that I took while walking down my street after the storm had passed. It's incredible what weather can do.

I also wanted to let you all in on a giveaway on another blog. Dianne from Something Snappy reviewed one of my products - the Back to School Large Boutique Bow.

I'm offering a $25 gift certificate to my website! All you have to do is click here to visit Dianne's blog. Leave a comment on her blog about which item(s) you'd like to purchase with the gift certificate, and you're entered! This is available to US residents only. The winner will be chosen on September 20 at 8 PM MST. Hurry and enter today!
