It's Back to School Time!

So, DH and I took a trip to Walmart today...it's Tax Free weekend here in NC and we wanted to pick up a few office supplies (every little bit of savings helps!) What a zoo!! I think everyone in the area was there shopping for Back to School!

That got me thinking...I know I have a couple of items in my shop that are fabulous back to school items and I know there are TONS more on Etsy...so I did some searching...

This fabulous find was from the Etsy shop of CDChyld

She has the most awesome messenger bags...I just love this black and white one. She also has two cute Superman messenger bags as well.

She's also getting ready for Halloween with some really awesome earrings

These adorable bag tags are in my shop These little gems are about 3" square and can be personalized with your choice of name in tons of different fabric choices (yes, I have boy fabrics too)...

The uses for these are endless...think lunch box tags, backpack tags, messenger bag tags, diaper bag tags and even as a key chain!

Oh, and don't forget about my giveaway...the middle of the month is coming fast!! I really want to give away those trick or treat bags!!

Well, I hope you all have an awesome weekend and BE CREATIVE!

Today's Fabulous Find and New Items in my shop!

Today's fabulous find comes from Creativebee706 on Etsy.com. She makes the most beautiful pillowcase dresses, and her prices are reasonable too!

I just loved the colors in this particular dress...of course, could be because I'm partial to pink and greens : ))

Make sure you check out her shop and let her know you found her here !!

I took a spot in the Accessories Showcase later this month, so I've been busily listing items in my Accessories category...Take a look, you may find something you like : ))

As always, in my shop, buy any three items, and get a free "The Debbie Collection" tote bag! Here's a sample of what I just listed:

And I wanted to take the time to thank everyone who has posted so far for my giveaway! There's still time to get your entries in, so comment away!!

That's it for today...have fun and be creative!

So, fall is in the air...the crisp chill, the crunching leaves under my feet...oh, wait a minute...that's not right...it's only the first of August...still hot and humid!! Oh, well...I can dream, can't I?

Fall has always been my favorite time of the year, so when I was deciding what to create today, I decided to start preparing for one of my favorite holidays, Halloween. So, I pulled out the box of tote bags and here's what just came off the embroidery machine:

• This little gem is in my Etsy Shop, but after I posted it, I got to thinking...hmmmmm...I'd like to do a giveaway for those of you crazy enough to following my ravings here; so here's the deal!!

Today's Fabulous Finds and a Giveaway!

So, today's Fabulous Find comes from Etsy seller Dog Dazzle. She makes the most awesome collars for dogs of all sizes!

And she's got a giveaway on her blog right now. Just visit her blog at http://dogdazzle.blogspot.com/ and tell her which collar you like best from her Etsy shop, and you're entered!!

I just think this collar is adorable! Of course, it's probably not appropriate for my male beagle, Buddy.

Speaking of Buddy, here's a picture of him in all his nutty glory! He's going to be 3 next week and isn't sowing any signs of calming down at all!

I'm going to make some custom embroidered bandanas this week, I hope...and I'll be using him as my model, so you'll be seeing lots of him!!

Well, that's it for today...have a great Saturday and happy creating!
