I've felt incredibly overwhelmed and keep thinking the feeling will pass soon. I've started a new schedule at work...after three years I am finally back to a Monday thru Friday schedule. As much as I have been wanting this, it is definately taking an adjustment to not have Tuesday off to do my "chores". </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Aside from having Tuesdays for chores, I had been trying to do my BESTeam blog features on Tuesdays. Better late than never?? Without further ado, I present to you three fabulous BESTeam shops.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/PattysDreamDesigns?ref=pr_shop_more" target="_blank">Patty's Dream Designs</a> has a variety of jewelry sure to delight anyone who loves to accesssorize. The color combination of blue and yellow is a family favorite of mine. When I say this, I mean my parent's house was predominatly in a blue and yellow color scheme as it was all of our favorite colors at one point. The loud blue and yellow flower wallpaper was recently replaced by a much more subtle taupe. These earrings remind me of home :)</span><br />

Another reminder of home is this milk bottle. My parents have a collection of antiques which include several milk bottles.

I intend to write a blog depicting how I rang in my New Year's celebration. To summarize, minutes before the stroke of midnight, two teenagers broke into a large, historical building and set fire to a boat that was being stored in it. The resulting fire spread destroying a large portion of the building and lasting almost a full week. How did this have anything to do with me and my celebration? I happened to be with three co-workers/friends...a sports editor, a reporter and chief photographer. Somehow this graphic designer became a spot videographer that night.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">After the chaos of this terrible event waned, I finally had some time to think about where I'd like to see 2012 take me. Do you make resolutions? If so, do you keep them? One of my hopes is to transfer my blog to a new address (which is already reserved with a banner just waiting to be used). I want my blog to be more of a reflection of the business I am doing now with the name that is meaningful to me.</span><br />

The weather has been unseasonably warm in Illinois. There hasn't been snow and the temperatures have been fairly steadily stayed in the 40's! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">In a few days we will begin a new year. I'm not really one for resolutions, but I do have some goals and plans I'd like to execute as I'm sure many people do. One thing that will not change in the new year is my love for discovering new Etsy products! Today I am featuring items from three wonderful BESTeam members. Enjoy!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">This reminds me of the vintage-inspired lamps I have seen a lot of in more recent years. In fact, I bought one at Hobby Lobby and put greenery and a candle in it for the holidays. I can see this vintage light from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/redemptionart?ref=pr_shop_more" target="_blank">Redemption Art</a> easily being converted to be one of these decorative lamps as well. The best part? Free shipping in the US!</span><br />

We had a great time having our decorating skills put to the test and indulging in food and holiday movies afterwards. When the party ended I was thinking about how I had just finished decorating days before the contest and will have to be taking those same decorations down in a very short time. Where has the time gone?! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">I'll be finishing up the next two days of work before packing up and heading home for our family festivities. Although, it's a little too late to add items to my wishlist, I have decided to share some items I would love to have in my stocking!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> I've gained a liking for owls.

I've found myself at work having a horrible time focusing on doing actual work. It finally dawned on me that it can be attributed to my excitement for the fast approaching holidays. A company Christmas party tomorrow, a decorating contest with co-workers Saturday and the obvious celebrations with family have me giddy with excitement and anticipation. In honor of these celebrations, I've gathered up some great "red" <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">BESTeam</span> items for you to enjoy!<br /></span><br />

There is practically nothing appealing sounding to me about being bumped into and then forced to stand in slow moving lines to save money. I promise I'm not a Scrooge and I honestly do have a lot of respect for anyone that can do this. But on that note, with the ever evolving world at our fingertips known as the internet, why not stay in the comforts of your own home this year and support hard-working artisans and crafters?</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br />Whether it be as a hobby, a means of extra income or the sole source of income for their families, there are so many options for a unique shopping experience for gifts that you will be sure to not need a gift receipt for.

There has to be at least one day of the year to remind us that we're here for something else besides ourselves." ~Eric Sevareid</span><br /></div><div face="trebuchet ms" style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I've always loved everything about Christmas, but it has been somewhat puzzling to me as to why today I have such a strong urge to want to attend Christmas Eve church this year. Christmas Eve service has always been my favorite from the time I was a small child performing as an angel in the play. There's something magical about the stained glass windows being illuminated by candlelight while flurries of snow dance through the sky. Unfortunately, it has been years since my family has made it to a Christmas Eve service as shameful as that may be given the fact that is what Christmas is all about.<br /><br />I'm also not one that likes to skip over Thanksgiving and start decorating early. I understand that a lot of people do start putting up decorations prior to Thanksgiving, my Mother included, so they are able to enjoy the beauty as soon as that last bit of pumpkin pie is consumed.<br /><br />I'm breaking with my normal sentiment of not skipping over Thanksgiving and presenting some wonderful BESTeam items that reflect the holiday season.<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/85400389/holiday-wreath-front-door-christmas-gold"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 281px; height: 375px;" src="http://img3.etsystatic.com/il_fullxfull.283642891.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></span></a><a href="http://img3.etsystatic.com/il_fullxfull.283642891.jpg"><span style="display: block;" id="formatbar_Buttons"><span class=" on down" style="display: block;" id="formatbar_CreateLink" title="Link" onmouseover="ButtonHoverOn(this);" onmouseout="ButtonHoverOff(this);" onmouseup="" onmousedown="CheckFormatting(event);FormatbarButton('richeditorframe', this, 8);ButtonMouseDown(this);"><img src="img/blank.gif" alt="Link" class="gl_link" border="0" /></span></span></a><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/85400389/holiday-wreath-front-door-christmas-gold"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Holiday Wreath, Front Door, Christmas, Gold, Holiday decorating</span></span></span></a><br /></div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Judy of Boston is the lady behind Angels n Everlastings.

In my adult life I've realized the simple steps I can take to make a difference, even if it is small, by being more eco-friendly. From choosing to filter my own water instead of buying bottled and bringing reusable grocery bags to the store to opt out of using multiple plastic bags, these small efforts can hopefully make a big impact if everyone else joins in.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">With the same mindset, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/UpcycleRecycleReuse?ref=top_trail">Upcycle, Recycle, Reuse</a> takes old products and transforms them into something of more value. With a goal of preventing the potential waste of usable materials and reinventing them has the potential to reduce the consumption of raw materials. This reduction can also impact energy usage, air and water pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Here you will find a variety of cards, gift boxes, envelopes, paper embellishments and even a journal.

<br /></div><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Do you find yourself wanting to accessorize, but not wanting to pay some of the high prices to achieve a complete ensemble? This is exactly what motivated Leonnie to start making jewelry!
<br />
<br />In Manchester, England, after frustrations of mounting prices Leonnie began making jewelry for herself before launching her shop, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/lutojewellery?ref=pr_shop_more">Luto</a>. With help from her boyfriend and testing out Ebay she finally took the plunge into the Etsy world to allow her products worldwide at affordable prices.
<br />
<br />Currently, Luto is in the process of a major re-vamp that will end with additional items and gift service. While you are anxiously awaiting these changes take a look at some of my favorite items...then visit Luto and find some favorites of your own!

I'll try to pile things up as orderly as possible, but there just comes a time where the piles are no longer organized or it takes digging to find what it is that I'm looking for. After spools of ribbon and supplies started overflowing every container I'd crammed them into it became evident that I needed to find a solution.</span>

I should have taken the fact that I nearly tipped over pulling the box off the shelf as a sign of things to come. Granted I completely ignored the "Team Lift" label as a required precautionary measure. The instructions for assembly seemed fool proof which was mostly true however a blister later and some frustration I then realize it would be necessary to anchor this thing to the wall. Visions of Bagheera jumping on a shelf and the whole thing toppling over were flashing through my mind. </span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">For a week this 71" tall shelving unit has been laying on my floor until this evening I decided to disassemble the top from the bottom portion and make it a more suitable size. Yes, I could have just bought the smaller bookcase to begin with however I couldn't very well return the one I had already assembled. I am pleased to present my organized supplies in all of their glory!</span>

Much like my love of capturing images of yesteryear, Ana from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Solhful?page=1">Solhful {Photography by Ana Cole}</a> finds inspiration by the beauty of the past. Her images have a delicate beauty about them that sent me imagining laying amongst the photographed flowers and breathing in the Midwestern country air.
<br />
<br />In upper Minnesota, outside of photography, Ana spends her time as a wife and homeschooling mom. Her love of Classic Literature is where she draws inspiration for her photos and art. Be sure to look closely and you will see some of her favorite quotes on her prints. Aside from the utilization of quotes in Ana's art she also uses Photoshop to incorporate different tones and textures however she strives for a well exposed, high quality photo from the time the shutter closes.
<br />
<br />High quality also translates to the materials used in printing. A very heavy cotton paper called Hahneumuhle paper is utilized with a brilliant white backdrop. The attention to quality and detail doesn't stop there. Images come matted and placed in a blue box with chocolate brown ribbon to ensure protection until it is time to frame your new piece of art.
