Kitties need Aromigurumis too!

I'm happy to announce that I have been inspired to branch out my Aromigurumis and I now have Aromigurumis for Kitties!!!

Different colored dangling creatures crocheted and then filled with either catnip or jingle bells for you and your kitty to have some play time! These great handmade toys were inspired by my original Aromigurumis and a fellow Etsy shop member making a comment that the Aromigurumis were kinda had an animal feel (thanks Petsjubilee)... and every time I am in the middle of creating an Aromigurumi our kitties are always trying to play with the yarn ... so from that night on ... Aromigurumis for Kitties were born :)

Please see my Etsy shop for more details and other designz!!!

thanks all for reading! Hope you are having a wonderful and safe shopping weekend!!!!

New beginnings

Like I mentioned in an earlier post, I am now with Keller Williams Realty in Fort Myers, FL. In the process of getting started, one of the first steps is to build a contact list, especially of those who are interested in Real Estate. So, I'm including a post here on this blog in regards to my new career to see if any of my readers are interested in any real estate information for the Southwest Florida area.

If you are interested in occasionally receiving an email or even a post card in the mail related to real estate information for both buyers and sellers, please email me at amykplanz@kw.com with your name, email, and home address.

Our lovely etsy community has always put the confidence in my creations, and here I have a new journey I'm starting. I do hope it will be just as fun to build a fan base, and a following network within this new field of business for me. I will be starting an additional blog about my journey and real estate information about the area I will be mastering, here in Florida. Once that is up, I will post a link about it here, but for the most part, I do plan to keep the 2 separate, as they should be :)

I just wanted to take this time again to thank all my readers and followers. It's because of you that keeps me going, and creating everyday!

(Oh and dont fret! new collections for Creative Fly Designz are in the works! Something for our furry friends, and even a new collection that would be considered "supplies")

Oh and yes, I realized last week just flew by once again and here it's tuesday again. Those who responded to my forum post on Etsy will get featured this week some time. Most likely by Thursday evening!

Hope you all are having a wonderful day!

We have a winner!!!

A winner has been selected for the 3rd Blog Giveaway! Congratulations goes to Mona!!

Thank you so much for everyone's input on their favorite items in my shop and all the following support! I will be hosting another giveaway shortly! I now can celebrate going over 1000 followers on twitter! Hopefully my blog followers will continue to grow as well!

thank you again for reading my blog and supporting my love for creativity!

November already - here's an update!

Hey everyone .. I hope you all are doing well! I've had alot going on in the last couple weeks, and today I'm proud to announce that I am officially employed with Keller Williams in Fort Myers, FL. I signed onto the company yesterday. It's been quite a journey to get to this point, but a fun one, and interesting one. I knew very little about real estate, then I jumped in head first into a crash course, to learn all I'll need to know to pass the state exam. Did you know there are at least 28 versions of the exam, and they can ask you anything related to Real Estate on it? It took me a handful of attempts, but after figuring out how to understand the wording and context of what they were asking me, I finally passed my state exam on October 20th, 2009. I want to thank my husband and my family for supporting me and encouraging me to continue with this new-to-me career option :)

So with all that said, If you are looking for a house in Lee County of Florida, or looking at selling your own, feel free to contact me :) - hehe - I had to throw that in there :)

Also, because I will be working from an office, and not from home, My Ten Dollar Tue$days may take a little more time to prepare. But I do believe in helping new etsians and promoting their work, so I may just collaborate my 10 shops and post it weekly, I just don't know which day of the week. But in Honor of the original Tuesday feature, I'll probably keep it the same name, since I should be able to post it in the evening once I get home from work. :) - hopefully that makes sense. - With that all mentioned, if you already follow my blog, and want to have a spot in the feature, please leave a comment at the end of this post with up to 3 items that are $10 or less for me to choose from, I like to try and have a variety of items for people to see what all is out there that is either handmade or vintage at affordable prices, especially with the holidays coming up.

Also now in the month of November, I will be contacting those who responded a while back to a post I made about Newbies for November. I would like to include new shops along the right side of my blog and feature you for the month of November using a mini-etsy code - like I had the Breast Cancer Awareness items featured in October. I'll get those convos out this week to those who contacted me, I am thinking I will feature 5 shops at a time on a weekly basis, it will all depend what kind of response I have to this feature.

OK, I've rambled on enough for now - I appreciate all of you who read my blog, and dont forget, my thanks to you - my blog giveaway is still open, I will be randomly picking a name on Saturday, so be sure to get your entries in!
