kiru Etsy Shop Twilight Giveaway

In case you haven't heard yet the Twilight DVD is coming out this Saturday March 21st and we are very excited here at the crafty house. You can pick up your copy at Walmart for only $17, we will be there at 12:01 am getting our copy, my 11 year old daughter wouldn't have it any other way!

We have read the books but not seen the movie yet, Saturday we are having a DVD premier party, stop back to see the guest blog post about it written by my daughter.

If you love Twilight as much as we do, you need to check out the kiru Etsy Shop. They have some really unique and creative Twilight items. Here is what Lori has to say about her creative arts:

Danny Kaye once said "Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can." Now that's something I can get behind and that's exactly what I'm doing with my crafting. When I'm not making magnets, cell phone charms, mousepads, and many many other items for the world I can be found spending time with my friends and family seeing a show or a band or just hanging out laughing and having fun. When I'm on a solo mission I can be found watching a good movie or reading a good book or making more fun stuff for the world...

Lori has made some really fun Twilight stuff for the world and she has generously donated a great prize pack for me to give away and spread the Twilight excitement!


This prize pack includes a “got Edward?” pen, Twilight Gift Card Notebook (50 pages, Approximately 3 3/8" x 2 1/8"), and a Jacob Cell Phone charm with a pewter apple and pewter wolf charm. How cute is this stuff! My daughter is so bummed that she can't win, I'm gonna have to go buy some great stuff from kiru for her!

Jonara Blu Maui ~ Etsy Showcase

Are you or someone you know getting married on the beach this year? Maybe you just love the beach like I do. If so I have the perfect shop for you today! Jonara Blu Maui has the most beautiful island inspired jewelry geared toward beach brides, but great for anyone who loves the beach!

Here is a little bit more about this great Etsy Shop:

Jonara Blu Maui is a fun little jewelry company stranded on the island of Maui with it's owner, Jamee Jones. As a WAHM, she creates jewelry inspired by her home, the beautiful island of Maui. Her creations are fresh and funky with an island twist. While using many different semi precious gemstones and metals, her favorite components to work w/ are pearls, shell and silk. This is what she uses to create her specialty... romantic, feminine beach wedding jewelry with a beachy-organic appeal.

Jamee started creating her first jewelry pieces when only 9 years old. Her babysitter would bring a shoe box full of beads over for her to play with and eventually passed it down to her. She still vividly remembers the excitement she felt as the new owner of the little colorful candy-like wonders and has never lost her fascination for beads, gemstones and all things sparkly.

In 1996 she started working for a local Maui ceramic jewelry artist. Having taken many art classes and having the knack for painting, she picked up right away on how to paint intricate designs on ceramic beads for this artist. She also was trained on how to string well made heavy jewelry designs the artist sold in local galleries. In 2002 Jamee branched out on her own, selling at local craft fairs and then May of 2003 she launched her online shop through RubyLane. Since then she has added her Etsy shop and has enjoyed becoming part of the Etsy community.

"As a resident of Maui since 1992, I have appreciated the inspiration that this beautiful island has played in my jewelry making hobby. Beading has brought me much joy and has been great therapy for 'mom time' over the years. It even offered me the opportunity to do some large corporate orders for companies like 'Volvo Trucks' and 'Relational LLC'. I'd have to say though that Maui beach weddings play the biggest part in my inspiration. I feel so fortunate that very often my jewelry can be seen delicately gracing the neckline of Maui's lovely beach brides, as well as women all over the world on one of the most special days of their life."

Jamee's jewelry is currently carried at 'B-Side the Sea' located in Poole England and she is currently under negotiations to have it carried in a cute little shop full of Maui artists creations in the small north shore beach town of Paia.

Here are a few of my favorite picks from Jonara Blu Maui

Jamee is generously offered to giveaway these beautiful handmade earrings!! A $22 value!

The winner and 4 runners up will all recieve a $5 coupon to use in her Esty shop!

Koti Beth ~ Etsy Shop Showcase

Today's Etsy Shop Feature is Koti Beth. Cari's store is a great place to get premade scrapbooks and great scrapbooking supplies.

Here is a little more about Cari and her shop Koti Beth.

I'm a stay at home mother to three young children. I love being able to take care of my children and love being with them, but I needed something for me. Something not only to give me a small break each day and a creative outlet, but also a project to see if I can build something from nothing and see it be successful. Since I am a mother, I cherish every photo of my children. A photo album shows you lived, a scrapbook shows how you lived. I'm amazed at the details we forget in the short years of our children's lives so I scrapbook to tell the story. That's why I sell premade scrapbooks and layouts on Etsy. I also have other paper crafts in my shop and supplies for those who want to do their scrapbooks by themselves.

Cari is generously extending the following offers to my readers.

Free shipping ~ Goto Koti Beth, place and order and enter coupon code cmof4 in the notes to seller and a new invoice with free shipping will be issued.

Giveaway ~ Fall 2008 premade paper bag album a $15 value. We're all busy with the holidays and of course organizing and scrapping photos don't take priority. This album can help you ease your guilt.

Just Add Charm ~ Etsy Shop Showcase

Today's featured Etsy shop is Just Add Charm. Sarah's shop is full of cute litte fabric covered button accessories at great prices! These accessories would make really nice gifts for the little girls in you life (or the big girls who are young at heart.). Here is little bit about Sarah:

I'm Sarah from Just Add Charm, proud mom of a mischievous soon-to-be 3 year old son and 4 month old boy/girl twins. In whatever free time I manage to find, I create fun jewelry, accessories and gifts. I've always had a love of crafting, but my real adventure began about five years ago when I began making and selling custom italian photo charms. I continue to make these upon request. Fabric covered button accessories are my current passion. I do feel like I have some sort of creative ADD - there's always something else I want to learn how to make - so you never know what might pop up in my shop in the future.

Sarah has generously offered some special deals just for my readers!

Go check out her shop out here and when you check out use code "CRAFTY MAMA" and you will recieve 10% off your purchase and FREE SHIPPING!
