About Me

My photo
LaFayette, Georgia, United States
Hi! I'm Emily, your crafty go to girl. I love all things crafty! I enjoy sewing, scrapbooking, photography, card making, DIY projects, home decor, photo projects, personalized gifts, stamping, jewelry making and just about anything that involves creativity. I run a small Etsy shop called paperpixie crafts. I also have my products in several local shops. I am slowly but surely extending my line of products. My goal is to start filling up my Etsy shop and then eventually open a local boutique. Luckily, I have a wonderful husband who can tolerate my craft obsession, and a great family who is always supportive of my goals. This blog is a sneak peek in to my life and my creative thoughts. I'll be sure to keep you posted with all the cool stuff I see along my crafty journey. Thanks for reading!

It's Fall in Georgia!

I LOVE fall. The trees start to turn and all the pretty leafs make the mountains a beautiful canvas of colors. My parents property connects to a National Wildlife Reserve so we get to sit in the breakfast nook and watch all the deer and animals when the trees start to shed and create a view.
The little sis, the Mr, and I took little Georgia for a fall walk the other day. Georgia LOVE to play in the leafs. Our new house has a big oak tree in the front yard that is sure to fill our front yard with leafs. I bet Georgia will have a blast playing in them! ( =
Katie found a pretty dandelion on our walk and blew it with a wish over a beautiful mountain sunset.

New baby!

A long time family friend, Kenessa, was blessed with a perfect baby girl this week.  She hasn't shared any photos on the net just yet, but I'm so behind on my blogging that I am just now sharing photos from her shower that was weeks ago! ( = CONGRATULATIONS KENESSA! I can't wait to meet your little one.

Rapture Jam

I was excited to be invited as a vendor to the first ever Rapture Jam. Paper Pixie Crafts and Meg at Bug Creator from Ry Bug Babies teamed together yet again for another great event. New Generation Christian Church youth hosted the event at the Summerville Rec. We've been informed that a 2nd annual event is being planned already. Maybe we will see you there next year.
A Review in photos...
1. I finally got to meet Meg's new friend Jess and her cute little ones.
2. Meg, Ry, and I manned our vendor booth for the afternoon. Apparently Ry thought the exact second that we were taking this photo was an appropriate time to pick my nose... but hey... You take what you can get with babies.. Right?
3.&4. Fireworks... I was impressed with the display ( =
5. The ferris wheel. I didn't ride it personally... but it got great reviews from the kiddos.
6. My wonderful hubby Dylan who was a real sport about the fair and came after work to help set up our vendor booth. Thanks babe! ( =
So... We'll see ya next year?

For those of your who are wondering what happened to the craft show photos... Here they are... better late than never.. right?
