About Me

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!

My Christmas corner

This is our first Christmas in this house and I had NO IDEA where I would put my Christmas tree this year. I made a cute little "Christmas corner." I wanted to take a picture with all the gifts under the tree, but they weren't there long with our "early Christmas", and I never got around to it until now. So, this is our little Christmas Corner.

Winter days downtown.

Katie came a spent a few nights with us and we took a day to walk around downtown, visit all  the little shops, and spot some Christmas lights. We had a great time goofing off today.

{Early} Christmas dinner



We had a yummy Christmas dinner today. ( = I was so glad that Dylan was able to be with us. We enjoyed a feast and then went back to playing with our new gifts. A belly full of turkey, and hours of new video games sure will wear a body out. ( =

Dylan's Christmas

Dylan has to work on Christmas, so we decided to have an early Christmas so that he could celebrate with  us.
We had a great time exchanging gifts. I got a new Xyon machine! Yay. Stickers and magnets coming soon ( =
Dylan was happy to see that his video game and movie wish list was filled. Daddy like his etched mug that I bought on Etsy. I bought it from a wonderful seller, Belinda, at etchingbybella. She did a great job on the mugs. Be sure to check out her shop.
Mom loved her Iris painting, and Katie was thrilled with all her cute gifts I found on Etsy. ( =
We had a great time. Now it's time to get ready for {Early Dylan} Christmas dinner tomorrow.

Cute little Southernbelle shop.




I ran across the cutest little online store today, I thought I'd share. They have shirts with cute "southern" sayings and are all very girl-y. I love it. I think I'll have to order one. ( =

Book wreaths and rubix cubes galore!






By FAR, My best seller Christmas gifts are rub ix cubes and book wreaths. I have them all over the house. Half made, drying, needing cut out, rubber maids full of paper rolls, and just a huge mess in general.

I am so thankful that my shop is doing so well for the holidays. I hope that everyone loves the gifts that I'm making. (= I'm getting great responses so far.
