What's Your Style

I just took a Personal Style Quiz that I found, thanks to How About Orange who I found while making my daily visit to Decor8. Take a look at my results:



It was accurate! I usually take these quizzes only to find the results less than accurate, but this one, I like. How about you? If you do take the quiz, be sure to let me know if it was reflective of your style.

Freebie Alert - Printable Postcard

I just read about this super cute, f-r-e-e, printable postcard on Decor8
and thought I should definitely share. It is available on Kindred , a site that helps support both accomplished and budding artists.

A New Direction

Yes, I'm still here. Posting has taken a backseat to, well, life. I've been busy planning for some vacation time in the summer. We are hoping to take about 2 weeks away from city life and get to the mountains and beauty of our 2 western provinces of BC and Alberta.

And, I've been daydreaming a lot about what direction I should go in for Amie Hartman Designs. During this daydreaming, I've been reading a lot of home decorating blogs, visiting online decor shops, antique shopping, and crocheting a runner for my dining room buffet.

I have decided that I get a lot of joy in creating with my hands, be it a greeting card, an altered coffee tin, or a crocheted coaster. So, I am going to expand on what I have to offer in my shop.

My shop will now also include crocheted home and personal care items, more altered items and of course, my greeting cards. So, I hope you get a chance to visit my shop and let me know what you think. I open to some helpful advice, as I'm always trying to learn. Here's a small glimpse at one addition:

I hope you are having a good weekend friends!

Great Link to a Freebie

Long time no post!

Life has been hectic lately. So, my blogging generally suffers as a result.

But, today, I took a little break to do a bit of blog surfing and came across the cutest free printable apple notes courtesy of Ez over at Creature Comforts. If you have not been to her site, you should check it out. It is one of the prettiest blogs out there in the blogging world, in my humble opinion.

I am so happy that it is Friday! We are celebrating the Victoria Day long weekend with a few BBQ's, parades and picnics, so I'm really praying for sunshine.

I hope you have a fantastic, relaxing weekend!
