westernwishlist [dot] com - Your guide to online Christmas shopping

2009-11-20T18:42:00.000-08:00

Ms. Danielle from Western Glamour had the wonderful, brilliant idea to put together an all inclusive site for your guide for buying those western inspired gifts for your loved ones this holiday. Not only did Whiskey Creek Designs display an ad, but other fun and fab western inspired stores did too! You'll have to check it out http://www.westernwishlist.com/.

Just check out the girl with the boots holding the presents. Don't you just love her? I do...

Of course Whiskey Creek Designs had an ad (yes, I designed it...hehehe). But there are some other sites WCD might just be shopping from too!

Check out Cowgirl Chickcessories! She's got some fabulous rings, belts and cuffs!

Of course we want to spread a little wholesome tasty goodness cheer this year! Check out this fab granola from Cowgirl Granola. Their motto: It tastes good and is good for you! I'm sure we could all use a little tasty goodness in our lives this holiday season (as I'm snacking on puppy chow ). (;

Fall time & Decorating

2009-10-14T20:51:00.000-07:00

Fall brings a new perspective to decorating in my house. I love fall - the rich colors of the leaves, the natural earthy tones, all are my favorite.

Sunday we decided to have friends over for dinner. I made lasagna, garlic bread and a salad. Since I haven't had a weekend to clean house and tidy up in over the last month, I spent all day Sunday cleaning house in preparation for our guests. While I was cleaning (towards the end), I decided to update the area above the kitchen cabinets. I used my fall leaves, HOME sign, picture frames, wooden pumpkins, milk bottles and a few other wooden items (box and carpenter box).

Here are some pictures of the decorating: (sorry for the lighting)

I heart Stillwater MAC

2009-10-14T20:41:00.000-07:00

Exciting news: I am going to take a soldering class at Stillwater MAC. I'm stoked beyond words. I can't wait to learn something new to add to the WCD line. I also enjoy learning anything new and especially anything crafty.

Here's an idea of some soldered pendants I've come across.
These are made by DesignsbyJanetD.

Striking a Cord

2009-09-29T20:59:00.000-07:00

Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.

John 16:24

I read this daily Bible verse yesterday and it struck a chord with me. There are so many things that I want to do - and this quote reminds me that all I have to do is ask. Whether or not I receive will be God's choice and his will for me.

Oklahoma Organization - Diamond Hats

2009-09-21T21:02:00.000-07:00

The Diamond Hats organization proudly promotes the youth of Oklahoma
as they pursue their agricultural endeavors.

Women from all parts of the state are united in an effort to elevate youth in agriculture. Fundraising efforts result in scholarship opportunities, mentoring programs, and contributions to their projects.

Of primary interest in the support of Oklahoma youth in agriculture is the Oklahoma Youth Expo, the "World's Largest Junior Livestock Show". Animals are purchased and scholarships are given to the young people.

2005 was the start-up year for the Diamond Hats. Twenty-eight members joined, and through fundraising efforts,
were able to raise nearly $15,000!

Since our initial year, the Diamond Hats has only continued to grow in membership and contributions made to Oklahoma's agricultural youth.

Mission
To unite Oklahoma women in the promotion and support of youth in agriculture.

Vision
To elevate the high quality of youth in agriculture and their value to Oklahoma communities and business.

Purpose

To ensure that Oklahoma youth are prepared to be future leaders of business in Oklahoma.

Having recently learned of this organization, I have taken it upon myself to donate something to this wonderful cause. Having been a student involved in agriculture myself, and continue to do so to this day, I realize the importance of having those scholarships available to continue preparing the youth of our great nation and great state of OKLAHOMA to be future leaders.

Here is the item I will be donating to this year's ball:

I can't decide if I want to donate an OSU necklace too...

I'll let ya know!

-Have a great week

Thursday

2009-09-21T20:58:00.000-07:00

I can honestly say, I can't wait for Thursday. Despite the fact that I have like 1 billion things to get done this week, I think I'm going to take a little rest and relaxation and watch my favorite show - Grey's Anatomy.

Which means?

I won't be making necklaces on any Thursday for a while (unless it is reruns of course).

I kind of miss my girlfriends and vegging out on cookie dough and our infamous dessert we would make. Good times.

-Have a great week!

Scripture Sunday

2009-07-12T07:28:00.000-07:00

"LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered, and that my life is fleeing away. 5 My life is no longer than the width of my hand. An entire lifetime is just a moment to you; human existence is but a breath." Ps 39:4-5 NLT

Teach us to make the most of our time, so that we may grow in wisdom. Ps 90:12 NLT

Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Heb 11:6

I apoligize...

Well, things have been pretty hectic for me lately. Not intentionally, but that's my excuse for my absence from my blog. It's crazy how fast time flies by once I get home from work. I do the dishes, start dinner and log online.

I've recently been researching different websites that I like and getting ideas together for how I want mine to look. So be looking for updates about the new site! I'm taking this leap to provide more items to you with an easier way of ordering...all you have to do is choose the items you want, pay and wait until I ship them to you! I'm excited, but right now my head really wants to hit a pillow. I stayed up till midnight last night lookin things over, typing up ideas, picking out colors, fonts, etc. It's crazy how much time I'm spending researching this and other new products I want to add to the line. I've also got some new shirts in the works that will be exclusively Whiskey Creek Designs that you won't be able to get anywhere else!

Basically all-in-all, I have too much going on at one time!

I have a show this weekend at Pawnee. Big two day festival celebrating the birthday of America. I'll keep you posted on any other events that I'll be attending.

~God Bless and have a safe 4th of July~

What am I going to do with these?

2009-06-17T17:24:00.000-07:00

I enjoy getting packages in the mail.

Why?

Because it feels like Christmas. Well except for the price tag that comes along with these packages.

That part, I despise. But it's part of the game of doing business. I realize that nothing is free. Unfortunately!

But, back to my package. Here's what Christmas in June brought to me today when I got home.

So, what am I going to do with these? Any ideas? Should I paint them? What colors? Scrapbook papers? What designs? Their primary purpose is to serve as a pendant on my necklaces. If you have any other ideas, throw them my way.

Upcoming Event - Pawhuska, OK

2009-06-16T17:54:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone! Just letting you know of my upcoming event this weekend in Pawhuska, OK. It will be at the rodeo arena and will be all weekend long - Friday through Sunday! I'm going to set up a booth on the east side of the stands (all 3 days)...and I'm going to have a lot of items!

Where's Pawhuska? Oh if you drive about 30 miles and only see about 10 houses in the middle of desolate nowhere, you are headed the right direction! LOL.

What kind of event? It'll be boot scootin' good ole' fashioned rodeo with a dance and bbq Friday night, Saturday is the Women's and Men's Ranch Rodeos and Sunday is the annual Ben Johnson Steer Roping.

Come out and visit me!

What's this you ask? Boxes of home decor. No, I don't know how to stop at just one item! Yes, this is sitting in my living room ready to go to the event this weekend!

Display items for necklaces and bracelets I'll have for sale this weekend!

There will be a lot of purses too!

Tub full of bracelets and necklaces!

Last but not least, 6 styles of t-shirts/tank tops to choose from as well.

I'll be posting pictures of how the booth is set up either this weekend or first part of next week! Don't forget all my pictures are also on flickr.com/whiskeycreekdesigns. Can't wait to see you!
