Hi Everyone out there in blog land :D I'm just catching up!

I've been a busy little beaver lately. Speaking of beaver, one of my fans suggested I make a tiny beaver playset. What would I make for a beaver?

Ohhhh back to catching up. Anyway, I'm very excited and relieved that my 2nd Wishwithme newsletter was sent out yesterday. I didn't think a newsletter would be so time consuming, but I think I'm getting the hang of it. Along with the newsletter I wanted to come up with something to celebrate May, my birthday month. I came up with a Happy Birthday Party Dog.

So you can send a Birthday Party in a box. You get my signature 12" (14 if you count the party hat) dog decorated party style, a removable party blower, 2 tasty lolly pops, a full size party hat and a birthday card with your message on it if needed. Sounds good to me :D

This time of year is always so full of birthday parties and I hate trying to find the perfect gift. Another thing, like the beaver idea, is that I'm still trying to add to my list of possibilities for tiny playsets, so if you have any ideas please send me a note.

Other than all this Etsy business I'm preparing for my daughter's junior prom,a family wedding, a high school graduation, birthdays, birthdays and more birthdays. Then to end of my summer my 25th anniversary on August 31st. No vacation this year :( Dang this economy..... Maybe next year:) So any way, to whoever is reading this, have an awesome day or night.

If your interested in anything in my shop, sign up for my newsletter first and get 30% off any 1 item in my shop and a free tie dyed turtle. I know, awesome huh. lol

visit my shop at www.wishwithme.etsy.com Be back soon, Kathie :)

Looking for new ideas :D

Some of the most popular items in my shop are my playsets. Tiny turtle, ladybug, and guinea pig just to name a few.

I'm always looking for ideas for new ones. The detail on the animal can't be too intricate because my animals average 1/2" - 1" in size. If anybody has any ideas please feel free to comment.

Thanks in advance, Kathie :)

Having a problem focusing today

After being on our family vacation for a week in Naples Florida, we were all packing up to go to the airport.

Thinking back on the week we spent there we never did get to see a sunset on the beach. Either we were out doing something else or just around that time the clouds would come in.

Well just about an hour before we needed to leave for the airport I asked if my brother in law had called the airport to make sure that the plane was going to be on time. Well he did call and found out that we actually missed our plane.

The 9 of us were in shock.( For about 2 minutes) Then Whaaaaa-Whooooooo!!! we get to stay another night :D :D :D We grabbed our flip flops and drove the 2 minutes to the beach. There was the most beautiful sunset we've ever seen. It was like it was meant to be. I miss Naples :(

Will they actually bring good luck?

"Find a Wish-a-ling, pick it up, and all that day you'll have good luck"!

(That's what it says at the beginning of my description of my new Wish-a-lings)

I do believe in positive thinking. Negativity doesn't usually get you anywhere but depressed and angry. So here's to positivity :D
***************************************************************************************
Born in my imagination and living in a tree house in my ficus tree are my new whimsical creatures called "Wish-a-lings". Their names are:
Bindi, Lulu, Dip, Dot and Sam. They reminded me of a type of lucky charm. So I send each one out with a Wish for luck, hoping they just might make a difference in someones day.

If nothing else, I think they'll make you smile and If that's all you get from them I think that would be Awesome.

SALE! 10 to 50% off just about everything.......

Yes here at the wishwithme shop, I've decided for the first time since I opened my shop about 15 months ago, that it's time to give everyone a break. God knows I need one.

This economy has effected my family in countless ways, as It probably has yours too. I work hard on my creations, and I'm proud of everything In my shop. I feel I've always priced my items fairly, and I've had the most awesome customers within my first 15 months.

I've been told in more than one forum, that if you lower your prices, potential customers will think that the quality isn't that good. Well now it's time to prove them wrong. To me quality and workmanship and detail are number one and my customers know that. All this price cut means is that I'm giving my customers a break.

Things can only get better from here :) see ya soon, Kathie :)
