Bridesmaid and Maid of Honor Wine Glasses
I just posted my newest item! Bridesmaid and Maid of Honor Wine Glasses.
My hairdresser's daughter is getting married next weekend and asked me to come up with a set of wineglasses for her Bridal Brunch. She wanted to give them as a gift and something she could use during the brunch. This is what I came up with. There are actually 4 Bridesmaids, 1 Maid of Honor and a bride. I did the Bride in pink and white. I am thinking about doing sippy cups for the flower girls with flowers instead of dots. What do you think??
If you like these and would like to order some for youself you can find the listing here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/76096446/bridesmaid-and-maid-of-honor-wine

Craft Party 2011
This past weekend Etsy held a global craft party. The idea was that local "etsians" would meet up for a night of crafts and networking all across the globe. The North Alabama craters decided to hold theirs in Huntsville, AL, convenient for me because that's where I work so of course I decided to go. The event was to be held in a studio in the Lowe Mill art district. Lowe Mill is a fun little warehouse housing several studios of local artists. On Friday nights they hold "Concerts on the Dock" with different types of music. This particular Friday night it was a metal concert. I should mention at this point that while Lowe Mill is a fun little artsy establishment, it isn't in the greatest part of town. Remember this 2010 youtube sensation? Well... Lincon Park is about a block and a half away. So anyway, I get off work, change and head to the craft party. I couldn't talk my fiance into joining me because in his head it's a bunch of women sitting around quilting haha. Once I get there, the parking lot is full and there are people everywhere. I walk through the gate and look around. I am definitely out of place in my pink tank top and flip flops. After wandering around (and being stared down) I realize that I am actually supposed to be in one of the studios....not at the metal concert, so I try to find the studio. I enter a big door and climb the stairs. The studio is on the second floor but the stairs completely miss the second floor and go to the third. FAIL. I go back outside (by this time I have three really sketchy teenage guys following me) I find another door that looks like it leads to studios so I tell myself that I am going to give it one more try. I walk up, guys still following me, and pull the door handle, only to find it is locked. FAIL #2. At this point, it has become completely obvious to everyone that the girl in the pink doesn't know where she is, so I quickly made my way back to my car and left. I am sure the people that were actually able to attend had a great time and I'm sad I missed it, but Craft Party 2011 was a big ole' FAIL for me. Better luck next year!

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!!
