New Items in the Shop (Dec. 1)!

The last few days I've added a bunch of new stuff to the shop. Check it out! New items include:

• Book Page Gift Bags (photos will take you to the listing)

  

• Gift hang Tags

     

   

•  Denim Bags

     

If I'm lucky and this weekend proves productive, there will be new stuff added to the shop next week! I'm a bit busy with work things, health things (yeah, that again), and trying to keep the home clean. Not to mention a wedding present, our XBox 360 Star Wars Limited Edition came in last weekend. I've been a bit distracted at beating Portal 2. Overall, I love Portal 2. It will probably be one of the five or so games I actually finish. Not to mention, I want to get some baking out of the way! It is the Holiday season after all! I should be keeping home warm with lots and lots of cookies being baked. This weekend, I'm aiming to try out a sugar cookie recipe so I can test out some cookie cutters we got as wedding presents.

Did I mention I got married about a month ago? Details on what was made for our wedding will be coming up...eventually. Look for those posts.

Shop Update - New Stuff (Oct. 7)

Shop update!

For those of you who don't know, I have a little Etsy Shop called LibraryElfDesigns. It has been kind of quiet as I reevaluated my life and found some answers (and guidance and clearance and was getting over being sick), but I'm slowly adding stuff to the shop right now. I have some new ideas, but right now it's mostly destash stuff like fabric. Take a peak and make sure to check back as new stuff will be added over the coming weeks. Tell your friends too!

My primary focus will be grocery bags (and there will be more than just the ones made from an old pair of jeans hopefully soon), but other little things might appear like fabric (I really have to destash). If you need a gift idea, the denim bags are perfect for gents. My own gladly uses his bags when he goes grocery shopping and loves that they hold so much! Heck, one we had even held a 30 lb bag of cat litter! That's an impressive bag.

Help a librarian out. Check out the shop and tell your friends.

The Shop is on Vacation, but the blog, not so much!

Happy Holidays! Due to the impending rush of the Holidays, the shop is on vacation.* The blog, hopefully not so much.

*(Although, to be honest, another reason for the vacation is in the last two days we've had one shaky thing happen and one of our two cars was diagnosed with a "you should buy a new car instead of repairing this" issue, requiring us to sit down, basically take the car off the road except when it HAS to be taken out, and adapt to the idea of one car. If you can't tell, this has been on our minds for the last 48 hours. Also, by we, I mean, my guy and I.)

Anyway, do check out LibraryElfDesigns on Pinterest. I find this tool way helpful and a full post will come up soon as well as maybe a few more book reviews and some images (sort of?) of what I gave out this year for Christmas.

Despite everything, this Library Elf has things to be thankful for like purring kitties. Happy Holidays if I don't post again before the weekend!

Junk Mail Stars!

From Make It and Mend It (a personal favorite, London based blog...I think. I definitely know it isn't the US):

These gorgeous stars that are 70s inspired (I think, reminds me of 1970s stuff) but made out of JUNK MAIL. I love it. Now I just have to find a center gem without actually purchasing gems...hrm.
