I'm sure many of you can relate... when life seems to just keep getting crazier, busier, good... but then their are many times you feel like everything is spiraling out of control. I have to simplify. Having two separate blogs to keep up is plenty of work on its own. I feel bad that I don't get over to this one more often, so I'm making a few changes. I'm hoping you will follow me on over to my original blog, <a href="http://www.enduringarts.blogspot.com/">Enduring Arts</a>. It has changed a lot from what it first was, so I'm hoping you will check it out. It will continue to have some of my family life, my own creations and thoughts, but I will also be posting other talented artists (like I do here), as well as inspiring blogs I come across. I will also have giveaways of some of my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/enduringarts">shop</a> goods plus notify my followers of sales and other deals. So I'm hoping you will enjoy the variety of posts. </div><br /><div></div><div>Thank you for your support, comments, and reading Touched Creatively!

I was so excited when the package arrived in the mail and when I rolled out the print... the quality was amazing! I couldn't be happier! It took a little while for my husband and I to get it stretched on a frame but now it is done and I want more. Here are a few details...<br /><br /><div><div><a href="http://www.digitalroom.com/"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483422981029854530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 373px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQG0keG8KbmNDTXTkHunDlPNPmA1PtkQKEcTYI5BPF4oLfqak0dutSvPPHJ265uQkox92BzETOsEYKQcPsXKt2vNo-vCmPHMasaGeTN-Y9rmyvPF1ZusIpronKODfu0Osfn20_-d6mU_w/s400/canvas+print+review2.jpg" border="0" />Digital Room</a> sponsored a giveaway on my blog a while back and they were so kind as to give me a free <a href="http://www.digitalroom.com/canvas-printing.html">rolled canvas print</a> too. Both the winner and I were able to have our choice of image printed on a 16"x20" piece of canvas. It was slightly smaller then that size but I'm not complaining because the quality was just that good! I probably should have given more room on the edges of my print file for wrapping around a frame, but I wanted the picture as large as possible. I allowed just roughly over an inch on the sides for wrapping. My husband helped me to make the frame with a half inch depth and then we used the staple gun to stretch it around to the back to make a nice finished look.<br /><br /></div><div></div><div><a href="http://www.digitalroom.com/">Digital Room</a> has several options. If you don't want to go to the work of stretching your own print, they do offer <a href="http://www.digitalroom.com/print/Gallery-Wrapped-Canvas.html">canvas</a> prints all ready to be hung... but that option also comes with a price of course. The rolled canvas however, comes very affordable. I was really surprised with their prices. The below picture shows a close up of the nice texture and clarity of their printing:<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo0dtUVsVcWQ-CmvRETXe348M8yNdutLego3PwuxxPvZO6q0JnHkyeDNRYuGEz7K_sKH-8_kJ5xuKelnoGuSg0sVBH6VUnQuADUAD8XiFTAo5TfEXpZRupsW_RnkqzdbowotQy-dzAtT8/s1600/canvas+print+review3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483422666181638482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 373px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo0dtUVsVcWQ-CmvRETXe348M8yNdutLego3PwuxxPvZO6q0JnHkyeDNRYuGEz7K_sKH-8_kJ5xuKelnoGuSg0sVBH6VUnQuADUAD8XiFTAo5TfEXpZRupsW_RnkqzdbowotQy-dzAtT8/s400/canvas+print+review3.jpg" border="0" /></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483784249533111842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 352px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6_OysmGLmZR-vjvXcY-i-T3Vbemv2WjEqcTffb9nJhd30BIWuDzdGO2XGO-HWC-L9Mcn-O0erFhrsOO4S1PPGGvjPl1MGZkZP9HlXZD6HXdMLk7SOUeUElKL-2r3Vu3AA2tqjBb42E6s/s400/canvas+print+review4.jpg" border="0" />Here's Kaelyn showing the size of the canvas in relation to her. </div><br /><div></div><div>I highly recommend <a href="http://www.digitalroom.com/">Digital Room</a> for any printing needs you have.

I have been away dealing with health issues... so I at least have a good reason! But I'm back and ready to share some more amazing talents with all of you. Today I'm sharing the beautiful and unique <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LavenderField">Lavender Field</a> shop.<br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/44286390/pearl-drop-pendant-crochet-necklace"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482762840973144146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 302px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3XLt_pedU-W09gyh9znW2hIZt8nPIPS5Aq69BYISEZl9Fx8gNMle6lASrCE5nwAHgtmdoRLoydWAllmyOSs9lDfBGO6NvT__mHFXVJDpBYxxu8e9rUFcGk7N7n8NWRxdkRT23aRiPenU/s400/Lavendar+Field+Pearl+Drop.jpg" border="0" /></a>{<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/44286390/pearl-drop-pendant-crochet-necklace">Pearl Drop Pendant Crochet Necklace</a>}<br /></p><p>If only money was no option I would have so much fun... in many etsy shops for that matter!!! In this shop I don't think I could even choose just one favorite! Victoria, the talented creator behind <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LavenderField">Lavender Field</a> gives such a modern twist to the ordinary crochet. Here is what she stated in her profile, "I'm forever a learner, and I have an insatiable urge to create, create, create stuff with my hands. After all that's why God gave us hands.... to put them to good and creative use! My style is very unique as I don't follow any trends, but actually make my own. And even though I find inspiration in colors and other things I consider beautiful, my jewelry is 100% a product of my own imagination."<br /><br /></p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/47623236/forest-green-in-the-summer-crochet"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482763983382800946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 247px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaVCYiKDvdh82CfH4DnIzuIGZg-6Ma__7YQhnd7KsP3EeSp-DDwfy9IZU2ta01R9vFPN6Oaagpk2D_QFUYtaAWKljZQCH7D9bP08cQ6QJh7MqY26IF7mdgsOJJ-Zs5d2AWhZw0gCaFbjk/s400/Lavender+Field+Forest+Green.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a> {<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/47623236/forest-green-in-the-summer-crochet">Forest Green in the Summer Crochet Necklace</a>}</p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/44050059/prom-necklace-all-my-friends-multicolor"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482765349469258130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG4-LP2bzT8iXqwWIWHMXYZbHN-H5s896PMx3LE6OOkManT1aQNaLA0sQeDmtyBv5fjqSS_76saTPDrQATIhcDDiJqowo0N9eLWXJwiOojwRBLT7uwTPNXOzIl2wtF5mfUCidCRBVmKJc/s400/Lavender+Field+Prom+necklace.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p align="center">{<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/44050059/prom-necklace-all-my-friends-multicolor">Prom Necklace All My Friends Multicolor</a>}</p><p>To see lots more, visit <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LavenderField">Lavender Field</a>.

You can choose from standard, square, slim to even a specialty shape. I chose <a href="http://www.uprinting.com/index.php?main_page=ppc_offset&product_id=1&submit_flag=1&attr1=1343&phone=888">square business cards</a> since the shape is a little unexpected from the usual standard size. Size measures 2" by 2". Not only do you have size options to pick from, but you are also given paper options... 14pt cardstock gloss, 14pt cardstock matte or 13pt cardstock uncoated. I chose the 14pt cardstock gloss and am very happy with the quality and look overall!<br /><p>The ordering process was very easy and the customer service is amazing. If there is any problem on their side with colors or design layout, they immediately contact you and offer a solution! I love that they inform you and don't just print without asking if a small change is made. They definitely put their customers first!<br /></p><p>A few days ago I received a rolled canvas print from them and was blown away by the quality! The price is affordable as well! I will share more pictures of that as soon as my husband helps me stretch it onto a frame for hanging. Until then, check out all the printing possibilities <a href="http://www.uprinting.com/">UPrinting</a> has to offer. I highly recommend their service!</p>Jodi Ulschmidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12550818529119411049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8231971594051582951.post-58387994217735811832010-06-02T16:59:00.000-07:002010-06-02T18:18:43.365-07:00Avoni's Boutique Review<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478331770305843282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 301px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwXUmJiK9UWpKLyNfXleNkkzjoI_F025Dkf7dP82lM5FTEJF5Spj_bPwJbV8lYgKhNn-39XLMFJZ2VJ9MoT4UArnoouZH0HuHt5mIrJ5hpU3toBT2WTCl4U8Z3tA58OEDTEKoP9bMUJKY/s400/Avonis+boutiue+headband7.jpg" border="0" /><br />Several of you may remember the adorable <a href="http://www.avonisboutique.com/index.html">Avoni's Boutique</a> that was introduced back in <a href="http://touchedcreatively.blogspot.com/2010/02/avonis-boutique-and-giveaway.html">February</a>. Generous designer, Tsasa gave away a pecious headband to one of Touched Creatively's lucky readers. Tsasa was so sweet and even sent my daughter a couple bows (shown above) for hosting her giveaway! Awesome! So I wanted to revisit her <a href="http://www.avonisboutique.com/index.html">shop</a> today and share a few of my thoughts on her pieces since I was able to view them first hand.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYiu0MFK8W63n7_mDSJnDEBn9dPCgoeQRPNevQ7gn6CoIan7YDKGBpVDgLgEk8i-8aewrnURqFL5tEkhIA0l__195NAo1Y8id32N3IE0QLWv6xL9snGBClrf-rokLm5FHvuPhqMMm9x9c/s1600/Avonis+boutiue+headband3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478332877856846946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 356px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYiu0MFK8W63n7_mDSJnDEBn9dPCgoeQRPNevQ7gn6CoIan7YDKGBpVDgLgEk8i-8aewrnURqFL5tEkhIA0l__195NAo1Y8id32N3IE0QLWv6xL9snGBClrf-rokLm5FHvuPhqMMm9x9c/s400/Avonis+boutiue+headband3.jpg" border="0" /></a> First of all, the bows arrived safely packaged in a box. They had plenty of space so they wouldn't be crushed. When my little girl saw them she immediately wanted to wear them!

If a little one has lots of hair you wouldn't even need to use the headband... or you also have the option of using the headband alone. I love having choices!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-kO7l4F5KHZ6ii7cCkYlPOkprkUsDaAKyo4z19okET32iHAoy5PbxPADQ_hooX15yADUBscVNmx4-KwDd7VwExxOiLiXkJ-Zd6t2zcP22zkuYTNknA5Y6h88lkLhG7ZAJyTwnRKGGIVg/s1600/Avonis+boutiue+headband2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478332220087482978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 395px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-kO7l4F5KHZ6ii7cCkYlPOkprkUsDaAKyo4z19okET32iHAoy5PbxPADQ_hooX15yADUBscVNmx4-KwDd7VwExxOiLiXkJ-Zd6t2zcP22zkuYTNknA5Y6h88lkLhG7ZAJyTwnRKGGIVg/s400/Avonis+boutiue+headband2.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV8PzXKG35CcroYYTZ0vCltGD40lePZ4pAEhxpqEOhLD5MWQfA6NKrHg_UlJuOKZoz8_HDWkGbkWIRXm4GFoiStk0jOnsm6QAIOLqwbsZgymOfh1ZLunmV1zQsgQQc2J7BOngm08Tk3zU/s1600/Avonis+boutiue+headband6.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478331535841832818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 315px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV8PzXKG35CcroYYTZ0vCltGD40lePZ4pAEhxpqEOhLD5MWQfA6NKrHg_UlJuOKZoz8_HDWkGbkWIRXm4GFoiStk0jOnsm6QAIOLqwbsZgymOfh1ZLunmV1zQsgQQc2J7BOngm08Tk3zU/s400/Avonis+boutiue+headband6.jpg" border="0" /></a>Overall, Tsasa's headbands are fun and adorable as you can see for yourself.

I've been busy with family (absolutely loving having my six month old nephew and his mom back in the states for a little visit!!!) and getting ready for a craft/art show this coming Saturday. I'll be displaying many of my art prints found <a href="http://www.enduringarts.etsy.com/">HERE</a> as well as some of my newly created headbands, shown above. There are a variety of kinds as well as sizes. The sizes range from baby to adult and they are just the cutest things modeled! Yeah, I'm pretty excited about them! I have several new creation ideas, some involve me learning new techniques but I'm having fun and can't wait to share more with all of you soon.

Then I clicked to see her entire shop and realized they all had an insanely good price tag! Shop <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/carolinascreations">Carolina's Creations</a> to see for yourself. I couldn't resist. Can you???</div></div></div>Jodi Ulschmidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12550818529119411049noreply@blogger.com0
