I am finally back to blogging, with my beautiful new layout from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/BeautifulDawnDesigns" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;">Beautiful Dawn Designs</span></a>.<br />
<br />
My focus is shifting a bit and each week I am going to be posting some great finds/drool-worthy items from around the web for my readers to enjoy.<br />
<br />
This week's focus is on the beginnings of Autumn and staying nice and cozy for the cool weather that's on our way. Outside right now the wind is whipping and grey clouds are forming - and all I want to do is stay inside and cuddle up with laptop!<br />
<br />
What is the weather like right now where you are? Is it still summer, or has autumn began to creep in?<br />
<br />

Finally carved out some time to post for y'all, I had surgery today and I was hallucinating while sedated about listing on Etsy. How sad that Etsy is what I dream about, haha!
Anyway, I have opened up a second shop on Etsy for my jewelry, printable cards, greeting cards, and onesies. I will be transitioning more items from the first store to the second, but so far I'm getting some good responses and views :)
I've just created two new lovely Save the Date cards, and will be experimenting much more with Illustrator and actually designing my own cards this year.

It would be SO greatly appreciated if any and all of you would go and show my submissions some love to help them get chosen to be printed! Simply click on the links below and be sure to give my designs a "5" along with clicking the "Notify Me" button when the shirt becomes available. This will help me out big time!! Many thanks in advance :) I would be nothing without all of you, seriously! <br />

For now, the clothing consists of Onesies with my Artwork... check it out <a href="http://maybesparrowsplace.etsy.com/" target="_blank">here.</a><br />
<br />
The jewelry is something I've been wanting to do for a while now, and is quite experimental at this stage. I find it very therapeutic, so even if I don't sell anything I enjoy making it and I'll just wear it myself ;) The competition for jewelry sellers is very tough on Etsy... there are just so many people selling such wonderful things. I'll let you all know how it goes.<br />
<br />
Overall my shop has been doing great for the new year- almost 50 sales already and we're not even halfway through February! And I sold my first 20x30 size photograph to a very lovely lady in France a few days ago which is very exciting for me. I love the idea that my art will be hanging halfway across the world!<br />
<br />
If you have time, please go check out my Zazzle shop, I've posted a LOT of new products lately with my artwork on it- iPad sleeves, clothing, messenger bags, iPhone cases, etc! Some really pretty stuff.

I've been a bad blogger lately. I'm the first to admit that blogging is a bit of a chore, and the past few times I've tried to blog for some reason it will not let me publish my posts so instead of trying to fix the issue I just give up. BUT no more! I'm back at it, readers! </div>

I have been making a new series of greeting cards that are available for digital download through my Etsy website. They are vintage style, super romantic and sweet! Take a look below at a few of them and let me know what you think! I've been dipping a bit back into my graphic design roots (I spent a few semesters in art school back in the day), but I've been keeping it very minimal. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you all enjoy these and have a good night!

As you can see, I'm playing around with a new blog design. I'm slightly technically challenged when it comes to these things, but I'm trying to figure it all out and have a beautiful blog like so many of you do! I'm about to go hit the slopes, but I thought I'd stop in first and say good morning to everyone, and post a few personal photos from the other day when my honey and I were at the carnival at the stock show. These are just a few fun photos I wanted to share with you all. Hopefully I'll have some winter wonderland photographs later today... I'm going to bring my equipment with me snowboarding, although I'm a little anxious to be bringing such expensive camera equipment with me when there's a potential for crashing on the mountain! Let's hope that doesn't happen. I'll keep you all posted. Until then, hope everyone has a lovely day.</span></div><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I went to the Fort Worth Stock Show today, as I stated in my earlier post, and it was pretty fun. I hadn't been since I was a kid. There was lots of livestock to look at and take photos of, greasy food to eat, and a big carnival to play around in. I've only edited a few photos so far, but I'm really happy with how they've turned out. It was a gorgeous, warm day with beautiful cotton candy clouds in the sky. Check out my photos and let me know what you think!

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">...which is just another excuse for me to photograph carnival rides. Yay! I have been jonesing for a carnival shoot ever since my last one in October. I snuck into the parking lot of the Fort Worth Stockshow and Rodeo when they were setting up Wednesday, set up my tripod, and snapped away at the empty but glorious rides. Here are a few results so far:</span></div>

It may seem that I've been MIA for a few days... and I apologize for that! It would seem that the little guy I work with (he's 14 months old) gave me a touch of the bronchitis and walking pneumonia. So it has not been a fun week for me. But I am on the mend after much rest, a bottle of antibiotics, and two inhalers from the ole Dr. </div>

I did manage to leave the house today and go see Hugo, which was probably one of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. </div>

I have been meaning to read the book for ages but never got around to it. I don't know how good the book is, but I highly recommend the movie. It was incredibly sweet, romantic, funny, sad... just right up my alley. Oh, and it was set in Paris and one of the characters was based off George Melies, one of the first filmmakers (who made "A Trip to the Moon"). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Lastly, I have some very exciting news! I've been approached by a specialty wholesale company who wants to print my artwork on wood and sell to retailers online and in stores. It's all very preliminary at this point, but hopefully you'll be seeing my artwork in more placer soon and I will gain more exposure.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I've had quite the weekend, but I thought I'd take a few moments to give you all a little update and show off some new photos. I was <i>finally </i>featured on the front page of Etsy on Friday, yay! It was amazing to see the views and hearts roll in. Even though it's after Christmas, people are still digging my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/88573510/hanging-christmas-lights-8x10-photograph" target="_blank">christmas lights photo</a>. So thank you!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I had my first trade days show this weekend, which was... interesting. It was a very good learning experience, but I do not think I'll be going back to that venue. There was very little art there and people seemed to be doing lots of looking but no buying. Also, it was WINDY! Things kept flying away and it was a constant struggle to keep all my art from disappearing. I'll post pictures soon, at the very least I enjoyed putting up my tent and seeing all my artwork together. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So next weekend I am going to be participating in First Monday, and it will be my very first craft show with my photography! It has already been a little overwhelming and there are so many things on my to do list. The main stressor for me is the setup. But I have been getting some good ideas online, and have come up with some cute ways to display my photos. Here are a few things I've purchased so far:</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
