Red Ribbon Journal and Purchases

Thanks to everyone who took my little poll and sorry I haven't blogged lately. I've been busy with college stuff. Since each option got one vote, it didn't really tell me much, but I'll try to include giveaways, other shops, and tutorials in the future. :) If you have any suggestions for what you want to see a tutorial of, feel to suggest an item. To the person who said to have less of the letters you have to copy down before you post comments, that's just the way blogspot is set up. I don't think I can do anything about it, sorry! (and those are kind of annoying, I always get it wrong the first time, haha. Maybe it's just me, but the letters are always hard for me to read, but I understand they do it for internet safety).

It's been really hard to list things lately because the internet is so slow in my dorm and it takes forever to get photos up. I did get this listed though:

Red Ribbon Mini Journal

This is a small, 3 x 3 inch mini journal, sewn together with ribbon. I sort of made up the stitch for it. It was pretty easy to make and I love the ribbon on it.



I also made some Halloween and inspirational quotes cards that I'll hopefully get up soon. I found an art studio I might be able to work in to do my journals so that's good (I haven't made journals lately because I'm out of a lot of supplies and I wanted to make sure I had a studio before ordering more).

Since I haven't been listing, I've made a couple purchases from etsy. A lot of stuff is to decorate my dorm.

I got these two, beautiful prints. The first is from willowing. I originally found the print on livejournal though in a journal community. The second one is of Venice, Italy and I bought it from scarletbeautiful, who I've purchased from before. I had a poster of Venice, Italy in my dorm room last year except it was a huge, painted print. I figured I would keep up the tradition, and I want to study abroad in Italy next year.




I bought this soap from soothingsuds. It's a mint chocolate soap, which smells so good. I used it today and it made my skin really soft. She also threw in a cucumber sampler which smells really good too. I didn't realize it when I bought it, but I was her first sale which feels really good because I know how happy I was to get my first sale. :)



I also got a couple of these cute magnets for my fridge:


I'm thinking of buying a small decal too, but I haven't decided on one yet or if I even need one (I'm pretty low on personal money right now). If you have any suggestions of a shop or item that sells them, please post. :)
