New Items...Bought Items

So I must confess...I've become addicted to BNRs. Today was third BNR to participate in and I'm pretty sure my fiance wishes I had never been introduced. Gone are the days of making a profit haha!

To show you a few excellent etsy buys...
I bought this garter for my wedding from an excellent shop plainNfancy.


Scored these awesome pillows in last week's Promotional Frenzy BNR from Beckorama I could definitely buy her out if I had the dough! These will look GREAT on my purple couches!

And finally, today I scored these awesome elephant earrings in Promotional Frenzy's BNR. Can I get a ROLLLLLLLLLLLLLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!!!

These are from BejeweledArts

As for me...Long weekend = New Items!! Here's what I've been up to:
I made this diaper bag tag with the scrap paper left over from another project!

Decorating a new apartment is hard work. Especially on a shoe-string budget. This weekend, as one of my new items, I made this wall hanging with what will be my new last name. I still have to find the perfect place to hang it though!

I work for a college and have student workers in my office, I made this one for my student worker Kourtney!

With my job I travel a lot and the new TSA requirements limit the quantity of liquids and gels you can take on your carry on bag. Solution= make them pretty and it's more fun to comply :)

Of course all these new products have made their way to my Etsy store so if you like what you see visit my shop!

Sometimes you have to craft for yourself...

Sometimes you have to stop worrying about your business and take a moment to remember why you enjoy crafting so much to begin with. This weekend, I decided to take a little break from being "Over The Moon Gifts" and focus on being a DIY Bride.
I found this awesome scrapbook on sale at Michaels for $3.00 and it just so happened to be in my wedding colors! I couldn't NOT buy it so I repurposed it as a guest book.
I pulled out my trusty Cricut and added our name and wedding date. My intentions are to have guests sign a scrapbook page that I will add to this book and make a complete scrapbok of our special day. I will be posting more pics as it comes together!!

I should learn to sew...

I really wish I knew how to sew. I keep finding tons of cute projects that require sewing. I am getting married in August and in the process of decorating my first real home on a budget and I'm always looking for DIY ideas. Here are a few of the projects I would tackle if I could sew....

Blog take two

Ok so unfortunately, last week during the big blog blip my new blog was deleted. Since I only had once post it isn't a terrible tragedy, I'll just start over. This blog is to compliment my etsy store http://overthemoongifts.etsy.com where I make and sell all kinds of personalized gifts. The project I highlighted last week (before I was deleted) was a magnetic memo board.

The inspiration for this project came from my mailbox. It seems as if everyday that I check my mail I have at least two wedding/baby shower invitations so my fridge is getting a little crowded.
Now I have a beautiful space to display invitations, memos, photos and more! This project would also be good to give to my mom as a gift. She recently purchased a new stainless steel fridge and we didn't realize until after that it's not magnetic! Who knew!!
