C Is For . . . (Blogging From A To Z Challenge 2014)

Welcome to Blogging From A To Z with Pin & Tack.

It's all about writing about a different letter each day in April.

Today's letter is . . .

Well, this one was easy. Can you guess what I chose? It might be shameful, but I choose to say it's shameless self-promotion. You've been warned, but I think you'll enjoy it either way. (Fingers-crossed.)

Clothespins is my word of the day and it's also Pin & Tack's specialty.

For today only, any purchase from the shop will garner double donations for Farm Sanctuary.

B Is For Beer, My Dears (Blogging From A To Z)

Welcome to Blogging From A To Z with Pin & Tack.

It's a challenge that requires you to use a letter as your inspiration.

Today's letter is . . .

Do you enjoy an ice cold beer? I do on occasion, especially on a hot summer day. My favorite is Lost Coast Brewery's Great White. And I must admit that I'm a beer snob: microbrews only, please!

However, beer isn't just for drinking. You can use it as an ingredient for bath products & foods along with many other things (including removing brown spots from your lawn!) And you won't need to worry about getting a sober driver when used in these ways.

Did you know? Beer is great for the hair & skin.

Try this soap to get your fix. I did & loved it!

Beer Bread Recipe. Beer makes bread super yummy!

No worries either. It won't taste like booze.

How do you like to use beer? Share it! If you only drink it, what's your favorite?

A Is For . . . (Blogging From A To Z Challenge 2014)

Welcome to Blogging From A To Z series with Pin & Tack.

It's all about challenging yourself to write based on a letter.

Today's letter is . . .

My automatic thought was "apples" - Ha ha ha. Not very creative, right? Well, I don't mind going with the easy, but I decided to try a few different words.

My inspiration is handmade. I adore all things handmade. I spend a little too much time checking out others' craftiness. Now, I can justify it. I must look 'cause I need some As to share with you!

Almond

Anchor

Apron

Did you enjoy this little exploration? What A word would you have chosen?

Don't be shy - share yours in the comments & stay tuned tomorrow when I explore the B word.

Throwback Thursday: Tacks

On November 10, 2010, I sold my very first set of Diamond Thumb Tacks.

I can't believe it was so long ago. I still get excited when someone purchases them!

See the differences? Ha ha ha. I'm definitely taking better pictures. Lighting is key :)

For fun and because I LOVE to see changes, share a craft from back then and one from now.

New Season, New Things . . .

Sparkle & smile - It's Spring! And I have been feeling the joy of it.

Perhaps, that's why I'm a little obsessed with yellow right now?!

My inspiration was the sunshine that I am soaking up - Sorry for those that aren't as lucky!

This lovely weather has pushed me to try new things, including digital arts & crafts.

Are you on a new journey? I'd love to hear about your creative or not-so creative adventures.

Blessings & joy, yours truly . . . Corrinne Quinn
