Rosetree Creations

Sandy owns the "Rosetree Creations" shop on Artfire.

She lives in Norfolk, VA just mere minutes from me. How is it we still haven't met? LOL

Anyway, our guild was fortunate enough to have Sandy sponsor our July's "Where's Waldo" contest.

She makes the CUTEST Amigurumi animals! She also has crocheted animals and items, as well as, polymer clay sculptures.

http://rosetreecreations.artfire.com

She has free shipping on everything and is always adding new things. Stop by and see the rest of her menagerie for yourself!!!

Oh, and being from Virginia, I just HAD to post her Virginia Tech Amigurumi monkey!!!

Braggin' Rights

Tracy owns the "Braggin' Rights" shop on Artfire.

She has a wonderful, and ecletic, array of crocheted items in her shop.

http://bragginrights.artfire.com

Her ever popular 3-piece bath sets (with include 2 face scrubbies and a hangeable soap-saver sleeve). The cutest hair clips. Refillable ECO sachets. Bath tea bags, though not crocheted, filled with wonderfully scented sea salts.

And the CUTEST thing around...Pooch-Doggie Doo's!!! I've pictured one so you can see how you can make your little poochie look her best!

Visit Tracy's shop to see more of these wonderful items.

She is currently running a "Dog Days of Summer" sale.

Our Shops With Blogs

Just about all of our shops have a blog (or two). These are some fantastic blogs to read and follow! Many have contests (with fabulous prizes!); special offers for followers; and more.

These really are worthwhile reading!
