I love the idea of pumpkin candles. These would be good at the Thanksgiving table or around the house

Worldwide Moment

There's a photography project I participate in called Worldwide Moment. It was started in 2007 and happens once a year. Basically, people from all around the world take a photograph at the same time and then upload it to the Worldwide Moment website. The idea is to have a moment of peace together and connect to an international community. It's really fun to see everyone's photos and how everyone was at a different place at the same time.

The Worldwide Moment is happening tomorrow this year (Friday, November 11 at 11:11AM New York time). I think everyone who reads this should participate in it. All you have to do is take a photo at that time and upload it to the website. Let me know in the comments if you're going to take a photo! By the way, my first Worldwide Moment photo is in their logo above (it's the orange photo with food on it).

EtsyGreetings Team

I joined a new team called EtsyGreetings. I'm hoping it will help me promote my greeting cards and connect to other card makers. Here are some greeting cards in my shop:

Black and White Flower Greeting Card



Rounded Octopus Greeting Card



Little Red Riding Hood Get Well Card



Wavy Black and White Hieroglyphics Greeting Card



You can see more greeting cards here. I want to feature one of my cards on the EtsyGreetings blog so let me know which card you like my shop the best.

Heart Hop

My Blue and Gold Marbled Journal was featured in this blog entry that did a heart hop. I thought the heart hop was a good idea so here's my version of the it:













- PolkaDotPendant (Heart Brooch Pin Pendant Recycled Denim) who hearts . . .

- MariMartin (Apple Coasters who hearts . . .

- Ohmafelt (Felt Evergreen Trees) who hearts . . .

- ThePetiteChouette (My Deer Love Minidress) who hearts . . .

- AlytheRed (Fingerless Fox Gloves) who hearts . . .

- CabinNo7 (Ukulele Ring) who hearts . . .

- SunshineButterCup (Six Adorable Vintage Turquoise Glass Seashells)

Let me know if you like these heart hops so I know if I should do it again. It's a fun way to find new items.
