Etsy Contest :: A Handmade Moment :: Help us spread the word!

Matt & I have submitted a quirky little video to the Etsy "A Handmade Moment" Contest. Please view it! We put a lot of love and laughter into this piece for all to enjoy! Also, please spread the word by blogging about the video if you like it. :) Email to friends! Here is the link (through this link, you'll see the "embed" code if you'd like to support it by blogging about it): CLICK HERE (http://www.etsy.tv/video/A-Handmade-Moment-by-myrakim)

The contest ends August 31st in terms of submissions. The top 25 videos based on number of views will move onto judging by a selected panel (so the beginning round is a bit of a popularity thing, so help us out by spreading the word!). The theme is "A Handmade Moment". Let me know what you think. I'm sorry if it isn't Oscar-worthy. I just learned the software yesterday! The lovely music is being provided by Mood Area 52 (used with permission) who were wonderful at our wedding (thank you!!!).

Thank you so much for your help and enjoy the fruits of our labor (we had a blast making it for you!).

Love Actually

Said quite perfectly...

Animal Crackers in My Soup

When I was little, I don't believe there was another treat that felt quite as magical to me as Barnam's Animals Crackers.

I loved the short and thin cotton twill handle on the box, which I would slide around my wrist as proudly as if it were the fanciest of handbags. Looking back, it was probably my first love affair with packaging!

Lately, I've had a hankering for these animal crackers. I wonder if you can imagine what led me to this craving...

No, it's not this song, but watch this clip and try not to smile!

How It's Made {Globes}

This video is a little long- close to five minutes- but it's worth the watch if you like to see how things are made. I found the process of manufacturing globes completely fascinating! And, at the end of the video, I loved seeing all the globes moving across the ceiling of the factory. Pretty cool.
